View SamplesWe used microarray analysis to examine transcriptomic changes in cdm1 mutant, identifying genes potentially regulated by CDM1 by comparing gene expression between cdm1 and wild type young floral buds. Among 375 genes that showed differential expression (P-value <0.05) with >1.5-fold changes between wild type and cdm1, 185 genes were down-regulated by 1.5 to 7.10-folds, whereas 190 genes were up-regulated by 1.5 to 5.82-folds.

View SamplesKMD is genetically engenered to be highly resistant to lepidopteran pests through expressing a synthetic cry1Ab gene and its parent non-transgenic rice is Xiushui 11.The developmental duration of BPH feeding on KMD2 was significantly delayed. And moreover, the fecundity of BPH was significantly lower when fed on Bt rice than on the non-Bt parental plants.To investigate unintended effects in KMD2 that causes changes in BPH performance, we performed microarray (GeneChip) analysis to compare the gene expression profiles between Bt rice and non-transgenic parental plants in response to BPH infestation.

View SamplesMicroRNAs have been implicated in various skin cancers, including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma; however, the expression of microRNAs and their role in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) have yet to be explored in depth. To identify microRNAs specific to MCC (MCC-miRs), next-generation sequencing (NGS) of small RNA libraries was performed on different tissue samples including MCCs, other cutaneous tumors, and normal skin. Comparison of the profiles identified several microRNAs upregulated and downregulated in MCC. For validation, their expression was measured via qRT-PCR in a larger group of MCC and in a comparison group of non-MCC cutaneous tumors and normal skin. Eight microRNAs were upregulated in MCC: miR-502-3p, miR-9, miR-7, miR-340, miR-182, miR-190b, miR-873, and miR-183. Three microRNAs were downregulated: miR-3170, miR-125b, and miR-374c. Many of these MCC-miRs, with the miR-183/182/96a cistron in particular, have connections to tumorigenic pathways implicated in MCC pathogenesis. In situ hybridization confirmed that the highly expressed MCC-miR, miR-182, is localized within tumor cells. Furthermore, NGS and qRT-PCR reveals that several of these MCC-miRs are highly expressed in the patient-derived MCC cell line, MS-1. These data indicate that we have identified a set of MCC-miRs with high implications for MCC research.

View SamplesType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoimmune attack against pancreatic b cells.Dys-regualtion of the component of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including T-cells and B-cells, and smaller amounts of NK cells and dendritic cells, have all been implicated in this process
Decreased miR-146 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells is correlated with ongoing islet autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes patients 1miR-146.

View SamplesAutologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHST) was the first therapeutic approaches that can improvecell function in type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients. This study was designed to investigate the potential mechanisms involved.We applied AHST to nine T1D patients diagnosed within six months and analyzed the acute response in peripheral blood genomic expression profiling at the six-month follow-up.

View SamplesThe tumor microenvironment is characterized by low glucose and hypoxia. It is well known that changes in the tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia and low glucose, can increase the production of VEGF. Although the role of hypoxia in the regulation of VEGF production is well understood, the mechanism linking glucose deprivation (GD) to tumor growth and angiogenesis is unclear. Here, GD (a physiological stimulus) was used to treat human tumor cells. The transcriptional reprogramming of tumor cells by GD was measured with microarray technology to provide a comprehensive analysis of the gene expression profile underlying the GD treatment. Our study suggested that GD initiates an angiogenic switch by increasing the expression of proangiogenic mediators (VEGF, FGF2, IL6, etc.) and decreasing the expression of angiogenesis inhibitors (THBS1, CXCL14 and CXCL10). The markers of Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) (Grp78/Bip, CHOP, ATF4, etc.) were significantly increased. The above results suggest GD may regulate angiogenesis through activation of the UPR.
