View SamplesIn order to examine the gene expression in the course of mosquito embryogenesis, microarray assays were performed on staged A. gambiae embryos, from fertilization to 52 hours of development (which is close to hatching at ~50 hours post-fertilization). RNA was extracted from staged embryos roughly every three hours after fertilization, and then hybridized to the A. gambiae transcriptome microarray.

View SamplesWhole-genome transcriptome assays were performed with isolated serosa from A. gambiae embryos. These assays identified a large number of genes implicated in the production of the larval cuticle. In D. melanogaster, these genes are activated just once during embryogenesis, during late stages where they are used for the production of the larval cuticle. Evidence is presented that the serosal cells secrete a dedicated serosal cuticle, which protects A. gambiae embryos from desiccation.

View SamplesPrevious studies have reported that microglia depletion leads to impairment of synapse formation and these cells rapidly repopulate from CNS progenitors. However, the impact of microglia depletion and repopulation on the long-term state of the CNS environment has not been characterized. Here, we found by RNA-seq analysis that acute and synchronous microglia depletion results in a type 1-interferon inflammatory signature in degenerating somatosensory cortex in microglia-depleted mice. Transcriptomic and mass cytometry analysis of repopulated microglia demonstrates an interferon regulatory factor 7-driven activation state. Minocycline and anti-IFNAR1 antibody treatment attenuate the CNS type-1 interferon-driven inflammation and restore microglia homeostasis. Together, we found that acute microglia ablation induces a type-1 interferon activation state of grey matter microglia associated with acute neurodegeneration. Overall design: RNAseq analysis of brain cortical tissue from control and microglia-depleted mice.

View SamplesWe performed transcriptome analysis of Human Aortic Endothelial Cells after siRNA mediated knockdown of MTHFD2. We identified MTHFD2 as a key driver for a gene cluster which integrates mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism, serine synthesizing enzymes as well as common amino acid and ER stress response genes. Overall design: Human Aortic Endothelial Cells were treated with three different siRNAs against MTHFD2 or scramble for 72 h
Oxidized phospholipids regulate amino acid metabolism through MTHFD2 to facilitate nucleotide release in endothelial cells.

View SamplesWith particular emphasis on interactions between cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism we investigate the transcriptome of human primary hepatocytes treated by two commonly prescribed cholesterol lowering drugs atorvastatin and rosuvastatin and by rifampicin that serves as an outgroup as well as a model substance for induction of nuclear receptor PXR.

View SamplesHigh cholesterol diet and xenobiotic treatment induce changes in cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism. Mice were either 7 days on high cholesterol diet or were treated with phenobarbital. Liver samples were anayzed using Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430A.

View SamplesRecently, we have shown that disturbed flow caused by partial ligation of mouse carotid artery rapidly induces endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis within two weeks. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which disturbed flow induces atherosclerosis, we carried out genome-wide microarray study using endothelial RNAs isolated from the flow-disturbed left and the contralateral right common carotid artery (LCA and RCA) in C57BL/6 mice.
