View SamplesPatients who cleared HCV viremia early during therapy tended to show favorable outcomes, whereas patients who needed a longer period to clear HCV had poorer outcomes. We explored the mechanisms of treatment resistance by comparing hepatic gene expression before and during treatment

View SamplesTh17 cells are enriched by sorting FR4-CD4+ T cells from SKG mice. A large number of Th17 cells also develop spontaneously when CD4+ T cells from IFN-g-deficient (IFN-g-/-) BALB/c mice are transferred to T cell-deficient RAG2-deficient (RAG2-/-) mice and subjected to homeostatic proliferation, whereas they fail to develop in similar transfer of IL-6-deficient (IL-6-/-) CD4+ T cells to IL-6-/- RAG2-/- mice.

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out in Huh-7.5 cells in which miR-27a was over- or under-expressed. Transfection of cells with pre-miR-27a and pre-miR-control, or anti-miR-27a and anti-miR-control enabled down- and up-regulated genes to be determined, respectively.

View SamplesPlant hormones interact with each other and regulate gene expression to control plant growth and development. To understand the complex network, accumulation of comprehensive and integrative data of gene expression and hormone concentration is important. Using microarray, global gene expression profile was analyzed to compare with plant hormone concentration in 14 parts of rice at reproductive stage.

View SamplesIn lymphocyte lineages, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue 1 (MALT1) mediates the nuclear factor-B activation signal that stimulates progression of malignant tumors. However, its expression is inactivated in oral carcinoma patients with worse prognosis. Unveiling genes under the control of MALT1 will provide valuable information for understanding of the mechanism of carcinoma progression.

View SamplesThe epiblast (foremost embryonic ectoderm) generates all three germ layers and therefore has crucial roles in the formation of all mammalian body cells. Regulation of epiblast gene expression is poorly understood due to the difficulty of manipulating epiblast tissues in vivo. In the present study, using the self-organizing properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), we generated and characterized epiblast-like tissue in three-dimensional (3D) culture. We identified significant genome-wide expression changes in this epiblast-like tissue. Additionally, we identified the significance of the Fgf/Erk and ectoderm formation pathways, using the bioinformatics resource IPA and DAVID. We first focused on Fgf5, which ranked in the top 10 among discovered genes. Toward functional analysis of Fgf5, we developed efficient methods of genome engineering (CRISPR/Cas9) and RNA interference (RNAi). Notably, we show one-step generation of an Fgf5 reporter line, null and in/del mutants. Furthermore, mutation types correlated well with CRISPR/Cas9 activity. For time- and dose-dependent depletion of Fgf5 over the course of development, we generated an ESC line harboring a drug-inducible short hairpin RNA cassette integrated by the Tol2 transposon system (pRNAi). Our methods provide a framework for a broad array of applications in the areas of mammalian genetics and molecular biology to understand development and to improve future therapeutics.

View SamplesIL28B genotype was shown to be associated with treatment outcome of antiviral thearpy for HCV infection. We tried to clarify the molecular feature that was asocciated with IL2B genotype by comparing Hepatic gene expression of HCV related Hepatocellular carcinoma and non-cancerous tissue with Il28B rs8099917 TT genotype and TG/GG genotype.
