View SamplesTo functionally characterize the role of miR-17 family in HCC, lentiviral vector-based miR inhibitor TuD was used to inhibit miR-17 family of microRNAs in HepG2 and SK-Hep1 HCC cell lines Overall design: Methods: HepG2 and SK-Hep1 HCC cell lines were acquired from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and miR-17 TuD or NC TuD expressing lines were generated. mRNA profiling of miR-17 TuD or NC TuD expressing samples was performed using Illumina NGS. Total RNA was extracted as per manufacturer’s instructions (RNeasy kit, Qiagen). RNA quality was assessed using BioAnalyzer (Agilent). mRNA expression profiles were determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform producing 50bp paired-end reads. Bowtie/TopHat suites were used to align the reads to mouse genome or transcriptome and RSEM were used to quantify gene abundances. Gene level counts were then normalized with the R/Bioconductor package limma using the voom/variance stabilization method.

View SamplesParathyroid hormone (PTH) plays an essential role in regulating calcium and bone homeostasis in the adult, but whether PTH is required at all for regulating fetal-placental mineral homeostasis is uncertain. To address this we treated Pth-null mice in utero with 1 nmol PTH (1-84) or saline and examined placental calcium transfer 90 minutes later. It was found that placental calcium transfer increased in Pth-null fetuses treated with PTH as compared to Pth-null fetuses treated with saline. Subsequently, to determine the effect of PTH treatment on placental gene expression, in a separate experiment, 90 minutes after the fetal injections the placentas were removed for subsequent RNA extraction and microarray analysis.

View SamplesEstrogens are an important regulator of breast cancer disease progression, and they function by binding the estrogen receptor- (ER) to regulate changes in gene expression. ER is able to both activate and inhibit gene transcription in a gene-specific manner and do so by binding target DNA sequences and recruiting coactivators and corepressors which can modulate the chromatin environment. Silencing mediator of retinoic acid and thyroid hormone receptor (SMRT) is known to act as coactivator and corepressor of ER in a gene-specific manner.
The SMRT coregulator enhances growth of estrogen receptor-α-positive breast cancer cells by promotion of cell cycle progression and inhibition of apoptosis.

View SamplesMyelopoiesis is impaired in Raptor-deleted mice (CreER-Rptor-flox/flox). To evaluate the transcriptional changes in myeloid precursors , we isolated CMP (LinSca-1c-Kit+CD34+FcRII/IIImid), GMP (LinSca-1c-Kit+CD34+FcRII/IIIhigh) and Lin (B220, Ly6C, Ly6G, CD3, Ter-119) negative cells (Lin) from bone marrow of WT or CreER-Rptor-flox/flox mice. RNA was isolated from CMP and GMP immediately after sorting and Lin- cells were cultured for 12 hours with M-CSF (10 ng/mL) in 10% FBS and 1% P/S DMEM before RNA isolation.

View SamplesCD8+ DCs play key role in CD8+ T cell priming, however, the underlying signaling mechansim is unclear. We used a data-driven network-based systems biology approach and identified Hippo signaling kinases as key selective modualtors in CD8+ DCs. We focused on Mst1/Stk4 to further investigate the novel function of Hippo signaling in CD8+ DCs. All transcriptional profies were evalated by microarray.
