View SamplesThis project aims at an initial characterization of changes in gene expression in zebrafish with advancing age. Transcript levels are determined in several tissues of zebrafish with differing ages using RNA-seq. Differentially expressed genes are determined to pinpoint genes that are differently regulated in young and old zebrafish. Results will be compared with other species to identify common pathways of ageing.

View SamplesWe analyzed gene expression in 184 (finite life span) and HMT3522 S1 (immortal non-malignant) HMECs on successive days (3, 5, and 7) post-seeding in a laminin-rich extracellular matrix assay. Both HMECs underwent growth arrest in G0/G1 and differentiated into polarized acini between days 5 and 7.
Gene expression signature in organized and growth-arrested mammary acini predicts good outcome in breast cancer.

Participants completed an endurance training regime in which a skeletal muscle biopsy was taken prior to the start and after the final session of the program. Biopsies were used to generate Affymetrix gene expression microarrays.

View SamplesKeloids represent a common form of exaggerated wound scarring that cause considerable morbidity. Moreover, there are limited data on molecular mechanisms underlying keloids and effective therapies are lacking. To gain new insight in the transcriptomic alterations of wound healing in keloid-prone individuals, we followed an integrative approach of RNA-Seq and miRNA expression data analysis in serial skin biopsies of the same site (baseline and six weeks after wounding) in keloid-prone (n=8) and healthy matched control individuals (n=6). Bioinformatic analysis identified 37 miRNAs and 1449 genes that are differentially expressed specifically in keloid-prone individuals during wound healing. Pathway enrichment analysis was undertaken in the RNA-Seq data and identified NOTCH signaling, MAPK signaling, and Toll-like receptor pathways to be altered in keloid-prone individuals after wounding. In addition, dysregulation of DNA repair, p53 signalling and metabolic pathways (RNA, protein, fructose, mannose and glycerophospholipid metabolism) was highlighted during keloid formation. Gene association network analysis demonstrated divergent average expression profiles of cytokine signaling genes, as well as lipid metabolism genes between keloid-prone and healthy individuals during wound healing. In summary, our study provides a comprehensive and integrative analysis of the keloid transcriptome and miRNAome and highlights biological pathways that feature during keloid formation.

View SamplesPericonceptual supplementation of women with folate is considered a great success for public health. Higher folate status, either by supplementation, or via the mandatory fortification of grain products in the United States, has lead to significant reduction in the incidence of neural tube defects. Besides birth defects, folate deficiency has been linked to a variety of morbidities, most notably to increased risk for cancer. However, recent evidence suggests that excess folate may be detrimental - for birth defect incidence or in the progression of cancer. How folate mediates beneficial or detrimental effects is not well understood. It is also unknown what molecular responses are elicited in women taking folate supplements, and thus experience a bolus of folate on top of the status achieved by fortification. To characterize this response, we performed gene expression profiling experiments on uterus tissue of pregnant mice after a preconceptional regimen of supplementation with folinic acid. We suggest that folinic acid supplementation affects expression of genes that contribute to protein synthesis and localization, genes that play a role for mitochondrial biology and oxidative phosphorylation, and genes encoding nucleotide-binding proteins, including protein kinases and GTP-binding intracellular signaling factors. The extent of such a response is strongly modulated by the genetic background. Finally, we suggest that folinic acid supplementation in this paradigm may affect histone methylation status, a potential avenue to mechanisms of gene regulation.
