Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) is highly sensitive to normal aging and selectively degenerates in Parkinson's disease. However, ventral tegmental area (VTA), a region adjacent to SNpc, is less affected in PD. Until now, molecular mechanisms behind VTA aging have not been fully investigated using high throughput techniques.

View SamplesPmr1 is a cis-Golgi Mn/Ca transporter with a key role in protein glycosylation and manganese detoxification.
Manganese redistribution by calcium-stimulated vesicle trafficking bypasses the need for P-type ATPase function.

View SamplesGrowth of the drosophila eye imaginal discs is controlled by the activation of Notch in the dorsal-ventral boundary. Overexpression in the eye disc of the Notch ligand Delta together with lola and pipsqueak from the GS(2)88A8 line induces tumoral growth. We used microarray to analyze the expression profile of tumoral discs.
Imaginal discs secrete insulin-like peptide 8 to mediate plasticity of growth and maturation.

View SamplesA toxicogenomic analysis from liver of different pharmacological active coumarins (mammea A/BA+A/BB 3:1 and soulatrolide ) was performed on mice treated (20mg/kg/daily) for a whole week to evaluate if such compounds possess or could develop a hazardous profile on liver.

View SamplesYeast strain BY4741 was grown overnight at 30C in YPD rich media. The yeast culture was diluted to an OD600 of 0.1 using fresh YPD media and further grown until an OD600 of 0.2. Then, alpha -factor mating pheromone (GenScript) was added to a final concentration of 10 uM to allow cell synchronization at G1 phase. After 2.5 h, the alpha-factor was removed by harvesting the cells for 10 min at 6000 rpm and decanting supernatant. The arrested cells were inoculated in fresh YPD rich medium to be released from G1-arrest. Samples were collected at 0, 30, 40, 50, and 70 mins, 7.5 ml samples were collected for RNA extraction while 40 ml samples were taken for nucleosomal DNA preparation and for flow cytometry (FACS). Samples for RNA isolation were collected by pipetting the culture directly into 15-ml Falcon tubes containing 7.5 ml of icy-water to quickly chill the cells. Cells were harvested by spinning for 3-4 min at 6000 rpm, frozen in liquid N2 and stored at - 80C. Total cellular RNA was extracted using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen), following the manufacturer’s instructions with the spheroplasting protocol. Purified RNA samples were quantified by Qubit fluorometer (Invitrogen, Inc.) and Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Inc.). The total RNA was hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Yeast Genome 2.0 arrays for gene expression analysis.

View SamplesTranscription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and a cause of genome instability. Such instability increases in mutants with a suboptimal assembly of the nascent messenger ribonucleo-protein particle (mRNP), as THO/TREX and the NPC-associated THSC/TREX-2 complex.

View SamplesGene expression in eukaryotes is an essential process that includes transcription, pre-RNA processing and RNA export. All these steps are coupled and normally, any failure in one step affects the other steps and could cause nuclear mRNA retention. One important player in this interface is the poly(A)-RNA binding protein Nab2, which regulates the poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs protecting their 3-ends from a second round of polyadenylation and facilitating their nucleo-cytoplasmic export. Interestingly, here we show that Nab2 has additional roles in mRNA transcription elongation, tRNA metabolism and rRNA export.
Nab2 functions in the metabolism of RNA driven by polymerases II and III.
