Norwalk virus (NV) is a prototype strain of the noroviruses (family Caliciviridae) which have emerged as major causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. We have developed NV replicon systems using reporter proteins such as a neomycin resistant protein (NV replicon-bearing cells) and a green fluorescent protein (pNV-GFP), and demonstrated that these systems were excellent tools to study virus replication in cell culture. In this study, we first performed DNA microarray analysis of the replicon-bearing cells to identify cellular factors associated with NV replication. The analysis demonstrated that genes in lipid (cholesterol) or carbohydrate metabolic pathways were significantly (p< 0.001) changed by the gene ontology analysis. Among genes in the cholesterol pathways, we found that mRNA levels of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase, squalene epoxidase and acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase(ACAT) 1, ACAT 2, small heterodimer partner, and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-related proteins were significantly changed in the cells.

View SamplesTwo sets of wheat lines near-isogenic to Lr34 were used to compare gene expression profiles of wheat: 1. with and without Lr34 gene; 2. rust and mock inoculation; 3. distal and basal portion of the flag leaves. The two sets of wheat near-isogenic lines were used to subtract genetic background variations and to enrich Lr34-regulated gene expression profiles. The study is aimed to better understand the mechanisms of the well-known durable leaf rust resistance gene, Lr34, mediated resistance at the transcriptome level.

View SamplesGene expression was analyzed in endolymphatic sacs of two groups of mice: Slc26a4/ and Slc26a4/+ mice. Slc26a4/ mice fail to develop hearing and are a model for Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct and Pendred Syndrome, two forms of human deafness that are associated with mutations of SLC26A4. Slc26a4/+ mice develop normal hearing and served a controls. Gene expression was performed at embryonic day (E) 13.5, E14.5, E16.5 and E17.5, which are pathobiologically relevant time points that mark growth and enlargement of the entire inner ear including the cochlea and the vestibular aqueduct.

View SamplesInsect hemocytes mediate important cellular immune responses including phagocytosis and encapsulation, and also secrete immune factors such as opsonins, melanization factors, and antimicrobial peptides. In Anopheles, they contribute to the defense against malaria parasite invasion during the early sporogonic cycle. We used microarrays to identify transcripts that are specific or enriched in circulating hemocytes compared to either neuronal or to the rest of the body.

View SamplesNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used extensively as therapeutic agents, despite their well-documented gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. Presently, the mechanisms responsible for NSAID-associated GI damage are incompletely understood. In this study, we used Microarray analysis to generate a novel hypothesis about cellular mechanisms that underlie the GI toxicity of NSAIDs. Monolayers of intestinal epithelial
Drug-induced alterations to gene and protein expression in intestinal epithelial cell 6 cells suggest a role for calpains in the gastrointestinal toxicity of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

View SamplesThe goal was to screen for the expressed genes in Reissner's membrane (RM) that are related to ion transport and its regulation. The objectives were 1) to determine whether short-term incubation altered the transcriptome and 2 ) to discover which genes changed expression levels in response to glucocorticoids.
