Illumina expression microarray analysis of TCam-2, 2102EP, NCCIT, JAR, MPAF, ARZ and FS1 cells 8 and 16 h after 10 nanomolar romidepsin application. DMSO treated cells were used as controls. These data are part of the article 'A signaling cascade including ARID1A, GADD45B and DUSP1 induces apoptosis and affects the cell cycle of germ cell cancers after romidepsin treatment' (Nettersheim et al., 2016).

View SamplesWe analyzed the transcriptional response of the human melanoma cell line MZ7 to TNF-alpha (24 hours) in a dose-dependent manner (TNF-alpha 10U/ml, 100U/ml, 1000U/ml) either transfected with control siRNA (siNT = non-targeting siRNA) or transfected with siRNAs (pool of 4 active and independent siRNAs) against the melanocytic transcription factor and lineage oncogene MITF. (Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor).

View SamplesMa-Mel-15 human melanoma cell cultures were transiently transfected (RNAiMax, Lipofectamin) with control siRNA, siRNA against MITF (pool of 4 siRNAs), siRNA against c-JUN (pool of 4 siRNAs) or combinations of siMITF and siJUN. Cells were then either treated with TNF-alpha (1000U/ml) for 24 hours or left untreated.

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 SamplesThe use of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for transcriptome analysis has already been proven valuable for assessing disease-associated and drug response related gene signatures. While these proof-of-principle studies have been critically important, the instability of RNA within PBMC prohibits their use in large scale multi-center trials for which samples have to be transported for a prolonged time prior RNA isolation. Therefore, a prerequisite for transcriptome analysis of peripheral blood in clinical trials will be a standardized and valid method to immediately stabilize the RNA profile after blood withdrawal. We demonstrate that the globin mRNA reduction method results in significantly improved data quality of stabilized RNA samples resulting in low intra-group variance and a detection rate of expressed genes similar to PBMC. More important, even small differences in gene expression such as observed between females and males were detected and sufficient to predict gender in whole blood samples.
