We performed a transcriptomic analysis to identify genes differentially transcribed in the maize stem upon corn borer feeding and treatment with insects regurgitates by using the MACE (Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends) technology. Overall design: Two comparisons were performed: Insect chewing vs control and Regurgitate+wounding vs wounding in three biological replicates per treatment

View SamplesGenetically engineered mice developed spontaneous pancreas cancer (Pdx-Cre;LSL-KRASG12D;P53Mut). Mice were also engineered to develop similar spontaneous pancreas cancer without Twist or Snail (conditional gene knockout). The pancreas tumors were harvested and analysed for gene expression profiles comparisons.
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is dispensable for metastasis but induces chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer.

View SamplesThe activation of the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) maintains cellular homeostasis in response to oxidative stress by the regulation of multiple cytoprotective genes. Without stressors the activity of Nrf2 is inhibited by its interaction with the kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). Here, we describe RA839, a small molecule that binds non-covalently to the Nrf2-interacting kelch domain of Keap1 with a Kd of approximately 6 M, as demonstrated by X-ray co-crystallization and isothermal titration calorimetry. Whole-genome DNA arrays showed that at 10 M RA839 significantly regulated 105 genes in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Canonical pathway mapping of these genes revealed an activation of pathways linked with Nrf2 signalling. These pathways were also activated after the activation of Nrf2 by the silencing of Keap1 expression. RA839 regulated only two genes in Nrf2 knockout macrophages. Similar to the activation of Nrf2 by either silencing of Keap1 expression or by the reactive compound CDDO-Me, RA839 prevented the induction of both inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide release in response to lipopolysaccharides in macrophages. In mice RA839 acutely induced Nrf2-target gene expression in liver. RA839 is a selective inhibitor of the Keap1/Nrf2 interaction and a useful tool compound to study the biology of Nrf2.

View SamplesIn order to identify genes regulated by long noncoding RNA H19 in the ovary, we performed RNA-Seq with WT and H19KO ovaries from 8-week old mice. Among the differentially expressed genes, we found anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), which potentially plays an important role in regulating ovarian follicular development, might be a target of H19 mediated regulation. Overall design: Ovaries were harvested from 8-week old WT and H19KO mice, followed by total RNA extraction, library preparation and RNA-seq analysis to compare gene expression profiles between WT and H19KO conditions.

View SamplesPrimary Sjgrens syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease with complex etiopathogenesis. Here we use Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 microarray gene expression data from human parotid tissue. Parotid gland tissues were harvested from 17 pSS and 14 14 non-pSS sicca patients and 18 controls. The data were used in the following article: Nazmul-Hossain ANM, Pollard RPE, Kroese FGM, Vissink A, Kallenberg CGM, Spijkervet FKL, Bootsma H, Michie SA, Gorr SU, Peck AB, Cai C, Zhou H, Horvath S, Wong DTW (2012) Systems Analysis of Primary Sjgrens Syndrome Pathogenesis in Salivary Glands: Comparative Pathways and Molecular Events in Humans and a Mouse Model.
