Rod-derived Cone Viability Factor (RdCVF, alias nxnl1) is a retina-specific protein identified for its therapeutic potential in supporting cone survival during retinal degeneration.
The disruption of the rod-derived cone viability gene leads to photoreceptor dysfunction and susceptibility to oxidative stress.

View SamplesWe have used surgical specimens to perform a differential analysis of the transcriptome of human retinal tissues following detachment.
Transcriptomic analysis of human retinal detachment reveals both inflammatory response and photoreceptor death.

View SamplesWe used FACS isolated RD cone photoreceptors from C3H mice (we refer this mouse model as f-RD) that were transfected by AAVs to express fluorescent reporters to genomic analyses. We tested three different ages.
Genetic reactivation of cone photoreceptors restores visual responses in retinitis pigmentosa.

View SamplesA nxnl2 knockout mouse model was created and the transcriptome used to demonstrate that the retina is compromised by the absence of nxnl2.
Nxnl2 splicing results in dual functions in neuronal cell survival and maintenance of cell integrity.

View SamplesTo identify STC2-regulated downstream target genes, we compared the results of RNA-seq analysis between colorectal cancer cells without STC2 (SW480-NC) and cells with STC2 (SW480-STC2). Overall design: Colorectal cancer cells SW480 were transfected with negative control (named SW480-NC) or STC2 overexpression vectors (named SW480-STC2). Then cells were harvested for RNA isolation for RNA-seq analysis.
Gene expression analyses identify a relationship between stanniocalcin 2 and the malignant behavior of colorectal cancer.

View SamplesPhosphorus is an essential macronutrient element, but some time causes problems if present in excess. Unlike the enormous molecular and morphophysiological information available in plants regarding phosphate (Pi) deficiency, little is known about the effect of excess Pi on plants, which is indeed essential for its remediation. Here, we have carried out a comparative study of plant molecular responses under excess Pi (20 mM) or without Pi (0 mM) at transcriptome level. The 1.25 mM treatment concentration of Pi used as a control to obtain differentially regulated genes under above mentioned Pi regimes. A novel whole-transcript expression array, i.e. Arabidopsis Gene 1.0 ST Array, was used to perform these experiments. The most distinctly regulated groups of genes represent modulation in ethylene mediated signaling, Fe deficiency response, and root development. We have also identified some defensin like genes, possessing a gibberellic acid regulated domain (GASA like) under excess Pi treatment. Overall, this study will not only help in dissecting the mechanism of plant responses under excess Pi but also provide the clues about the unknown genes involved in phosphorus homeostasis.
Comprehensive study of excess phosphate response reveals ethylene mediated signaling that negatively regulates plant growth and development.

View SamplesGenome-wide transcriptome analysis was carried out in root tissue of Arabidopsis seedlings treated with gold (Au) as Chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). This study demonstrated remarkable changes in root transcriptome within the 12 h exposure. Most of the genes differentially expressed were related to glutathione binding, methylations, secondary metabolism, sugar metabolism, ABA, ethylene, auxin related signalling, transport and signal-transduction pathways.
