View SamplesJoMa1 cells are pluripotent precursor cells, derived from the neural crest of mice transgenic for tamoxifen-inducible c-Myc. Following transfection with a cDNA encoding for MYCN, cells become immortlized even in the absence of tamoxifen.
MYCN and ALKF1174L are sufficient to drive neuroblastoma development from neural crest progenitor cells.

View SamplesThe protease activity of the paracaspase MALT1 plays an important role in antigen receptor-mediated lymphocyte activation by controlling the activity of the transcription factor NF-kB and is thus essential for the expression of inflammatory target genes.

View SamplesmRNA sequencing was used to identify genome wide transcriptional changes occuring in fly heads in response to spermidine feeding. This study shed light on the molecular mechanisms through wich spermidine can protect against age-dependent memory impairment. Overall design: mRNA profiles from 3 and 10 day old Drosophila melanogaster heads were generated in duplicate by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. mRNA profiles from flies that were fed food with 5mM spermidine were compared to profiles from flies that had no spermidine in thier food.

View SamplesThe right ventricle (RV) differs in several aspects from the left ventricle (LV) including its embryonic origin, physiological role and anatomical design. In contrast to LV hypertrophy, little is known about the molecular circuits, which are activated upon RV hypertrophy (RVH). We established a highly reproducible model of RVH in mice using pulmonary artery clipping (PAC), which avoids detrimental RV pressure overload and thus allows long-term survival of operated mice. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed pathognomonic changes with striking similarities to human congenital heart disease- or pulmonary arterial hypertension- patients. Comparative, microarray based transcriptome analysis of right- and left-ventricular remodeling identified distinct transcriptional responses to pressure-induced hypertrophy of either ventricle, which were mainly characterized by stronger transcriptional responses of the RV compared to the LV myocardium. Hierarchic cluster analysis revealed a RV- and LV-specific pattern of gene activity after induction of hypertrophy, however, we did not find evidence for qualitatively distinct regulatory pathways in RV compared to LV. Data mining of nearly three thousand RV-enriched genes under PAC disclosed novel potential (co)-regulators of long-term RV remodeling and hypertrophy. We reason that specific inhibitory mechanisms in RV restrict excessive myocardial hypertrophy and thereby contribute to its vulnerability to pressure overload.

View SamplesAnalysis of effect of long-term cryopreservation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that long-term cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with decreasing signal intensities over time.

View SamplesAnalysis of cryopreservation effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with a strong loss of signal intensities to background levels for several transcripts.

View SamplesAnalysis of long-term freezing on the stability of transcriptome profiles in PAXgene stabilized whole blood samples. In the present study it was tested if long-term freezing of PAXgene RNA tubes (up to one year) has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral whole blood samples. Results indicated that gene expression profiles of whole blood samples stabilized with PAXgene RNA tubes remain stable for at least 1 year.
