To characterize the potential molecular pathway(s) affected by iron treatment and identify the one(s) responsible for C3 induction, we performed a whole genome microarray on untreated ARPE-19 cells and cells treated with 250 M FAC for 48h/2d.

View SamplesMicroarray analysis of murine retinal light damage reveals changes in iron regulatory, complement, and antioxidant genes in the neurosensory retina and isolated retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). With the advent of microarrays representing most of the transcriptome and techniques to obtain RNA from the isolated RPE monolayer, we have probed the response of the RPE and neurosensory retina (NSR) to light damage.

View SamplesTotal RNA extracted from prostate cancer LNCaP cells transfected with siRNA against CTCF(siCTCF), or negative control siRNA (si-)were processed, and sequenced by two different companies using Illumina Hi-seq 2000 platform to generate RNA sequencing with two output sequences: paired-end 50bp and 101bp in read length. Nearly 100 million and 50 million raw reads were yielded from each sample respectively. We used FastQC to confirm the quality of raw fastq sequencing data, and SOAPfuse software to detect fusion transcripts. Overall design: Discovering fusion genes from siCTCF and si- in LNCaP cells.
Discovery of CTCF-sensitive Cis-spliced fusion RNAs between adjacent genes in human prostate cells.

View SamplesIn previous in vitro study, we reported potential mechanism of cholesterol-lowering effect of Lactobacillus brevis119-2 (119-2) isolated from turnip Tsuda kabu is due to incorporation of cholesterol into 119-2 cell. In this study, we analyzed serum cholesterol and hepatic gene expression of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat fed diet containing cholesterol with or without 119-2 for 2 weeks, to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering effect of 119-2 in vivo. Serum cholesterol of SD rat fed diet with 119-2 significantly decreased compared to SD rat fed diet without 119-2, and both viable and dead 119-2 indicated the effect. The result of hepatic gene analysis using DNA microarray suggested that potential mechanism of the cholesterol-lowering effect of 119-2 in vivo is inhibiting the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase by Insig (insulin induced gene) that is endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, and catabolizing cholesterol to bile acid by Cyp7a1 (cytochrome P450 a1) that is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of bile acid from cholesterol. In addition, we concluded feeding 119-2 decreased serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by overexpression of Ldlr (LDL receptor gene). On the other hand, feeding Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC43121 (ATCC) increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol by over expression of Abca1 (ATP binding cassette sub-family A member 1 gene) and Angplt3 (Angiopoietin-like 3). These results suggested that 119-2 decrease the risk of atherosclerosis by serum cholesterol-lowering effect and improving effect of fatty liver and the LH (LDL cholesterol / HDL cholesterol) ratio.

View SamplesHere, we focused on the intermediate stages of SCR by comparing the somatic cell line induced by OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4 (OSK) for 7 days with mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), iPSCs, and embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Transcriptional profiles of these four cell lines were analyzed by microarray, and we found that the transition process from day 7 to the formation of iPSCs is crucial for SCR and that the reverse expression patterns can provide more candidate markers to distinguish ESCs and somatic cells iPSC. Data confirmed that the viral infection results in defense innate immunity, DNA damage, and apoptosis in MEFs, which slows down cell proliferation and immortalization to inhibit SCR. Although SCR is initiated by OSK, the p53 signaling pathway can affect the transcriptional regulatory networks through cell cycle and genomic instability as a powerful core node.
