Liver X Receptors (LXRa and ß) are ligand-activated transcription factors that play a key role in the control of lipid homeostasis, as well as modulation of immunity and inflammation. Besides ligand binding, LXR activity can be regulated by posttranslational modifications, such as phosphorylation. This study aims to assess changes in bone marrow derived macrophage transcriptional profiles of mice that carry LysMcre directed phosphorylation deficient-version of LXRa compared (S196A) to wild-type (WT). Overall design: BMDM mRNA profiles of either LdlrKO or M-LXRa-S196A-LdlrKO male mice after being fed a Western diet for 12 weeks. 12 samples, 4 groups, in triplicate: (1) LdlrKO basal, (2) LdlrKO+ ligand, (3) M-LXRa-S196A-LdlrKO basal, (4) M-LXRa-S196A-LdlrKO+ligand

LXR activity can be regulated by posttranslational modifications, such as phosphorylation. This study aims to assess changes in the hepatic transcriptional profiles of mice that carry a whole-body phosphorylation deficient knock in mutant of LXRa (S196A) compared to wild-type (WT) upon being fed a HFHC diet. Overall design: Liver mRNA profiles of either wild-type (WT) or LXRa-S196A female mice after being fed a High Fat-High Cholesterol diet for 6 weeks. Three biological replicate samples for each group are included. WT samples are used as controls.

View SamplesP1 encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor responsible for the accumulation of insecticidal flavones in maize silks and red phlobaphene pigments in pericarps and other floral tissues, which contributed to making P1 an important visual marker since the dawn of modern genetics. We conducted RNA-Seq using pericarps at two different stages, 14 and 25 days after pollination (DAP). High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform resulted in the generation of ~20 million high quality reads, from which ~90% aligned to the recently completed maize genome sequence corresponding to ~5 million reads for each one of the four samples. Overall design: Examination of two different RNA samples from two different stages of maize pericarp tissues.

View SamplesThe newly identified claudin-low subtype of cancer is believed to represent the most primitive breast malignancies, having arisen from transformation of an early epithelial precursor with inherent stemness properties and metaplastic features. Challenging this hypothesis, we show both in vitro and in vivo that transcription factors inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition can drive the development of claudin-low tumors from differentiated mammary epithelial cells, by playing a dual role in cell transformation and dedifferentiation.

View SamplesWe have previously shown that Heparin (Hep) significantly inhibited Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection and binding in both Vero and a human neural cell line, SK-N-SH, in vitro. Therefore, in this study we intended to gain insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action of Hep against clinical EV71 infection in neural cells. Instead of stating a long list of gene functions and pathways, we tried to select for EV71-induced genes that were exclusively affected by antiviral activity of Hep through a multi-level comparison and characterization.
