Gene expression along the crypt-villus (C-V) axis was analyzed using cryostat sectioning to isolate fractions representing the crypts (bottom) and villus tops (top). These fractions were used for analyzing gene expression in iron replete Wistar rats (++), iron deficient Wistar rats (low iron), and in iron deficient Wistar rats fed iron for 3 and 6 days (iron-fed). Differences were observed between the crypts and villus tops in the expression of genes associated with Wnt and BNP signaling, cell proliferation and apoptosis, lipid and iron transport and metabolism. Gene expression in villus crypts and tops was also compared between Wistar and Belgrade rats (bb) and Belgrade rats fed iron (iron-fed) particularly as related to iron absorption and metabolism to define the affects of the mutation in DMT1 in the Belgrade rat on the expression of genes related to iron absorption and metabolism and the response to iron feeding.

View SamplesTaMYB13 is a transcription factor that has been associated with fructan accumulation in previous studies in wheat (Xue et al. 2011 Plant journal 68: 857 - 870). In this study we aimed to find genes regulated by TaMYB13, through overexpression of this transcription factor in wheat and perform expression analysis by making use of Affymetrix genechip assays.
TaMYB13-1, a R2R3 MYB transcription factor, regulates the fructan synthetic pathway and contributes to enhanced fructan accumulation in bread wheat.

View SamplesThis study assessed the transcriptional profile of SiHa cells. SiHa is a cervical cancer cell line with integrated HPV16, and was used as a model to study human gene expression in the context of integrated virus. Gene expression in SiHa, calculated by Cufflinks, was scored in windows around the locations of known viral integrations in patients or cell lines to determine if there was an association between gene expression and viral integration. We found that SiHa gene expression was higher near loci of integration for HPV18 vs. HPV16, cervical tissues vs. head and neck cancers, and cervical cancers vs. in vitro integrations. This study provides insight into the factors that may influence where viruses integrate in the human genome. Overall design: Gene Expression in untreated SiHa cells.

View SamplesObjective: We hypothesized that type 1 diabetes (T1D) is accompanied by changes in gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) due to dysregulation of adaptive and innate immunity, counterregulatory responses to immune dysregulation, insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. Research Design and Methods: Microarray analysis was performed on PBMCs from 43 patients with newly diagnosed T1D, 12 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 24 healthy controls. One and four month follow-up samples were obtained from 20 of the T1D patients.

View SamplesKeloids are scars that extend beyond original wounds and are resistant to treatment. In order to improve understanding of the molecular basis of keloid scarring, we have assessed the genomic profiles of keloid fibroblasts and keratinocytes.
Keloid-derived keratinocytes exhibit an abnormal gene expression profile consistent with a distinct causal role in keloid pathology.

View SamplesIn the field, adult male rodents are more frequently infected with hantaviruses than females. Early data suggests that sex steroid hormones modulate sex differences in host immune response. This project focuses on elucidating sex differences in gene expression in the lungs of infected males 15 and 40 days post infection with Seoul virus (naturally occurring hantavirus in Norway rats) relative to infected females 15 and 40 days post infection on 12 RG_U34 GeneChips.

View SamplesIncreasing evidence suggests that Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) represent a new class of regulators of stem cells. However, the roles of LncRNAs in stem cell maintenance and myogenesis remain largely unexamined. For this study, hundreds of novel intergenic LncRNAs were identified that are expressed in myoblasts and regulated during differentiation. One of these LncRNAs, termed LncMyoD, is encoded next to the Myod gene and is directly activated by MyoD during myoblast differentiation. Knockdown of LncMyoD strongly inhibits terminal muscle differentiation largely due to a failure to exit the cell cycle. LncMyoD directly binds to IGF2-mRNA-binding-protein 2 (IMP2) and negatively regulates IMP2-mediated translation of proliferation genes such as N-Ras and c-Myc. While the RNA sequence of LncMyoD is not well-conserved between human and mouse, its locus, gene structure and function is preserved. The MyoD-LncMyoD-IMP2 pathway elucidates a mechanism as to how MyoD blocks proliferation to create a permissive state for differentiation.
