Five degradome libraries were constructed from three different seed developmental stages. Separate degradome libraries were constructed for seed coat and cotyledons to identify the tissue specific miRNAs and their potential targets. Sequencing and analysis of degradome libraries gives identification of 183 different targets for 80 known soybean miRNAs. We found 30 cotyledon specific, 18 seed coat specific and 32 miRNAs found in both tissues irrespective of the developmental stages. One interesting observation is that we found more miRNA targets in late seed developmental stages than earlier stages. Additionally, we have validated four different auxin response factor genes as targets for gma-miR160 via RNA ligase mediated 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RLM-5'RACE). GO analysis indicated the enrichment of miRNA target genes in seed development.

View SamplesThe sensory epithelium of cochleas and vestibules of mice were compared. The two tissues are quite similar in structure, but have distinct roles in hearing and balance. By comparing their gene expression, we hoped to identify key regulators of differentiation. Overall design: Cochlear and vestibular sensory epithelium was dissected from 20 inner ears of 10 P0 C57Bl/6J mice, generating 2.4 and 1.5 µg of total RNA, respectively. 450 ng RNA from each sample was used to create libraries with the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep Kit (Illumina), followed by high-throughput sequencing at 100 bp paired end (PE) at the Technion Genome Center, Haifa, Israel. Six samples were generated, 3 cochlear and 3 vestibular, for sequencing in triplicate.
Computational analysis of mRNA expression profiling in the inner ear reveals candidate transcription factors associated with proliferation, differentiation, and deafness.

View SamplesThe cellular response to DNA damage is vital for maintaining genomic stability and preventing undue cell death or cancer formation. The DNA damage response (DDR), most robustly mobilized by double-strand breaks (DSBs), rapidly activates an extensive signaling network that affects numerous cellular systems, leading to cell survival or programmed cell death. A major component of the DDR is the widespread modulation of gene expression. We analyzed transcriptional responses to ionizing radiation (IR) in 5 human cell lines to elucidate the scope of this response and identify its gene targets. According to the mRNA expression profiles most of the responses were cell line-specific. Data analysis identified significant enrichment for p53 target genes and cell cycle-related pathways among groups of up-regulated and down-regulated genes, respectively.
Transcriptional modulation induced by ionizing radiation: p53 remains a central player.

View SamplesMicroarrays were used to examine gene expression changes that may be present in the fallopian tube epithelium of morphologically normal BRCA1 mutation positive and negative subjects. Fallopian tube epithelia has been implicated as an early point of origin for serous carcninoma. By examining the early events present in the microenvironment of this tissue between BRCA1 mutation carriers and non-carriers, we hoped to elucidate mechanisms that may lead to the development of epithelial ovarian cancer.

View SamplesExtrahepatic bile ducts were isolated from mouse pups at days 0-3 and primary cholangiocytes were isolated. Cholangiocytes were treated with DMSO, bilatresone (TOX4), betavulgarin (TOX2), and isoflavanone (TOX3), as per Lorent et al, Science Translationa Medicine 2015;286:286ra67 (Fig. 1), all in DMSO. Treatment concentrations were 2.0 micrograms/ml, for 6 hours.
