We applied a meta-analysis of datasets from seven different microarray studies on lung cancer for differentially expressed genes related to survival time (under 2 y and over 5 y). Systematic bias adjustment in the datasets was performed by distance-weighted discrimination (DWD). We identified a gene expression signature consisting of 64 genes that is highly predictive of which stage I lung cancer patients may benefit from more aggressive therapy.

View SamplesWhile the close relationship between BRs and auxin has been widely reported, the molecular mechanism for combinatorial control of shared target genes has remained elusive. In this work, we demonstrate that BRs synergistically increase seedling sensitivity to auxin and show that combined treatment with both hormones can increase the magnitude and duration of gene expression. arf2 mutants are less sensitive to changes in endogenous BR levels, while a large number of genes affected in an arf2 background are returned to near wild-type levels by altering BR biosynthesis. Together, these data suggest a model where BIN2 increases expression of auxin-induced genes by directly inactivating repressor ARFs, leading to synergistic increases in transcription.

View SamplesPrevious research has shown that glutamine and sucrose treatment of excised poplar stems induces bark storage protein (BSP) gene expression. The objective of this research is to identify changes in gene expression associated with metabolic regulation of nitrogen storage and cycling and use this information to identify potential regulatory genes. Significant, differentially expressed genes were identified in excised poplar stems incubated in solutions of glutamine, sucrose, glycine, glutamine+glucose, and glutamine+sucrose compared to incubation in a water control.

View SamplesTCE is a non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogen in mouse, but not in rat or human. Extrapolation of data from laboratory animals to humans is difficult due to species-specific differences. To identify molecular pathways and biological changes responsible for species-specific differences in hepatocarcinogenesis, we analyzed gene expression profiles of livers from B6C3F1 mice and SD rats administered TCE by oral gavage once or repeatedly every 24 hrs for 14 days. Gene expression analysis revealed distinct clusters of transcriptional profiles in single- and repeated-dose mice and rats. Pathway analysis showed differences in biological pathways between single- and repeated-dose mice and rats. Activation of the MAPK signaling cascade and ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitory function, as well as inhibition of TGF-beta signaling, were specific to mice and suggest a role in hepatocyte proliferation. Although pathological analysis showed no evidence of apoptosis, gene expression analysis revealed changes in apoptosis-related genes. In addition to the previously reported suppression of apoptosis, results in repeated-dose mice showed that toxicity induced by TCE in turn induces apoptosis.

View SamplesThe role of bark storage proteins (BSPs) in seasonal N storage and cycling has been well documented. However, the regulatory mechanisms and pathways associated with this physiological process are poorly understood. The objective of this study is to investigate global patterns of gene expression associated with photoperiod regulated BSP accumulation and to identify candidate genes, pathways and regulatory factors governing N storage and cycling in poplar. In this study, differential expression of protease inhibitors, proteases, transcription factors, and other genes coincided with increased BSP gene expression, suggesting a complex regulatory network that might play an important role in BSP accumulation.

View SamplesMediator complex has been known as pivotal regulator of RNA polymerase II. Mediator complex has two CDK subunits in vertebrates, named CDK8 and CDK19. To elucidate functional difference between CDK8 and CDK19 in human cell, we employ siRNA mediate knockdown assay using HeLa S3 cell line. According to this assay these CDKs possess highly redundancy in HeLa S3 cell transcription regulation mechanism but in several genes, each CDK shows gene specific regulatory function.

View SamplesXuesaitong injection (XST), a standardized patent Chinese medicine of Panax notoginseng roots (Sanqi in Chinese), has long been used for effective prevention and treatment of stroke in China. However, the mechanisms underlying its effects against ischemic stroke are still poorly understood. In this study, we focused on the polypharmacology of XST against ischemic stroke with a XST-regulated stroke network analysis.
