View SamplesThe goal of this study is to compare tumor-infiltrating antigen presenting cell populations by global transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to help further delineate sub-populations of infiltrating myeloid cells in tumor. Methods: Four tumor antigen presenting cell populations were sorted from digested B78chOVA (melanoma variant) tumors in biological triplicate Results: RNA was extracted from the 4 groups (n=3 per group) and prepared for RNAseq. Sequencing yielded ~405 million reads with an average read depth of 33.7 million reads/sample. Reads were then aligned to the mouse genome (UCSC mm10) and those that mapped uniquely to known mRNAs were used to assess differential expression. Overall design: Examination of four tumor infiltrating myeliod populations

View SamplesThis study aimed to explore the role of NIPP1 in adult germline cell proliferation and differentiation, using a ubiquitous inducible NIPP1 knockout (TKO) mouse model. To gain unbiased insight into the molecular mechanism that underly the sertoli-only phenotype in TKO, we performed a comparative RNA sequencing profiling of control and TKO, in which NIPP1 was tamoxifin-induced depleted. Overall design: Two genotypes are compared after treatment with tamoxifen. The control genotype (UBC CRE-ERT2+/- Ppp1r8 fl/+) looses the floxed allele of PPP1R8 (aka NIPP1) as a consequence of the treatment with tamoxifen and becomes heterozygous for PPP1R8. The KO genotype (UBC CRE-ERT2+/- Ppp1r8 fl/-) also looses the floxed allele of PPP1R8 as a consequence of the tamoxifen treatment and becomes homozygous KO. For each genotype, 4 replicates are profiled.
The protein phosphatase 1 regulator NIPP1 is essential for mammalian spermatogenesis.

View SamplesMaternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase (MELK), a Ser/Thr protein kinase, is highly over expressed in stem and cancer cells. The oncogenic role of MELK is attributed to its capacity to disable critical cell cycle checkpoints and to enhance replication. Most functional studies have relied on the use of siRNA/shRNA-mediated gene silencing, but this is often compromised by off target effects. Here we present the cellular validation of a novel, potent and selective small molecule MELK inhibitor, MELK-T1, which has enabled us to explore the biological function of MELK. Strikingly, the binding of MELK-T1 to endogenous MELK triggers a rapid and proteasome dependent degradation of the MELK protein. Treatment of MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cells with MELK-T1 leads to an accumulation of stalled replication forks and double strand breaks, followed by a replicative senescence phenotype. This phenotype correlates with a rapid and long-lasting ATM activation and phosphorylation of CHK2. Furthermore, MELK-T1 induces strong phosphorylation of p53 and prolonged up-regulation of p21.
MELK-T1, a small-molecule inhibitor of protein kinase MELK, decreases DNA-damage tolerance in proliferating cancer cells.

View SamplesTwo Near Isogenic soybean (Glycine max) lines were grown in hydroponic conditions with either 50uM ferric nitrate or 100uM ferric nitrate. After 10 days, half the plants were harvested (total root tissue). At 12 days after planting, iron was added to plants grown in low iron conditions bringing them up to sufficient iron growth conditions. Root tissue was harvested for the remaining plants at 14 days after planting.
