View SamplesWe performed a polysomal RNA-Seq screen in non-malignant breast epithelial (MCF10A) and TNBC (MDA-MB-231) cells exposed to normoxic or hypoxic conditions and/or treated with an mTOR pathway inhibitor. Analysis of both the transcriptome and the translatome identified mRNA transcripts translationally activated or repressed by hypoxia in an mTOR-dependent or -independent manner. The mRNA populations of each sample were converted to cDNA libraries using the TruSeq protocol and then sequenced using a HiSeq 2000 machine. Paired-end reads were mapped against the reference human genome (GRCh38) with STAR v2.5.1b (ENCODE parameters for long RNA) and GENCODE v24 annotation. Gene quantification was performed using RSEM v1.2.28 with default parameters. Only protein-coding genes were included in the analysis. Normalization of the count matrix was performed with the TMM method of the edgeR R package. Polysomal RNA (P) and RNA total (T) fold changes across conditions were calculated with edgeR. Significant genes (FDR < 5% for MCF10A cells and FDR < 10% for MDA-MB-231 cells) in polysomes were selected for translational efficiency calculation (log2FC RNA polysomes/log2FC RNA total). Genes with a z-score > 1.5 were considered to have an increased translational efficiency and genes with a z-score < –1.5 were considered to have a decreased translational efficiency. GO enrichment analysis of significant genes was performed with the DAVID database. Overall design: RNA-Seq profiles in polysomes vs total in Normoxia, Hypoxia, Hypoxia + PP242, Normoxia + PP242 in MCF10A and MDA-MB-231 cell lines

View SamplesPharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated a crucial role of the cardiac natriuretic peptides (NP) hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. In addition, hypertension and chronic congestive heart failure are clinical entities that may be regarded as states of relative NP deficiency. Hence the study of the function of the endocrine heart is highly relevant.

View SamplesPharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated a crucial role of the caridac natriuretic peptides (NP) hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Considerable effort has been focused on the elucidation of the mechanistic underlying increased atrial ANF and BNP expression and secretion. These investigations are important because under chronic congestive heart failure, the secretion of NPs although increased and beneficial, is relatively insufficient as demonstrated by the fact that patients benefit form the unloading of the heart induced by therapeutic administration of either ANF or BNP.

View SamplesTranscriptional changes were monitored in the barley cultivar Golden Promise 24 hours post inoculation (hpi) with the bacteria Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 avrRpm1 (PstavrRpm1) using the Affymetrix Barley genome array GeneChip. Seedlings of Golden Promise were grown to growth stage 12-13 (Zadoks et al., 1974) before inoculating with either PstavrRpm1 or water (for the mock inoculation control) by infiltration. Plants were grown under a 18 C / 16 h light period; 12 C / 8 h dark period, with artificial lighting (100 mol m-2 s-1) and a relative humidity of 75 85 %. Leaf samples from three seedlings were collected 24 hpi for RNA extraction and transcriptomics analysis from the area infiltrated (local) and from the area next to the infiltrated region (adjacent) from three biological replicates. Leaf tissue was ground under liquid nitrogen and total RNA extracted using the RNeasy miniprep kit (Qiagen), following the manufacturers instructions. RNA was DNase treated using Turbo DNase (Ambion) according to the manufacturer instructions. RNA integrity was confirmed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent). The two cycle-target labeling method was used following the Affymetrix protocol. Affymetrix GeneChip processing, including RNA quality control, microarray hybridisation and data acquisition was performed through contract research services by Cogenics (North Carolina, U.S.A.). A total of twelve hybridisations were performed. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Ellen Colebrook.

View SamplesTranscriptional changes were monitored in the wheat cultivar Renan 24 hours post i noculation with adapted and non-adapted Magnaporthe isolates using the Affymetrix wheat genome array GeneChip. Wheat plants cv. Renan were grown in a peat and sand (1:1) mix at 23 C in a Sanyo Fitotron growth cabinet (Sanyo Gallenkamp PLC, Loughborough, U.K.) with a 16/8 h, light/dark cycle. Three Magnaporthe isolates were used in this expt, two wheat-adapted isolates (BR32, BR37) and one wheat non-adapted isolate (BR29). Magnaporthe isolates were grown for eleven days on Complete Media Agar at 25 C under a 16/8h, light/dark cycle. Conidia were harvested by flooding the plates with 5 mL of sterile inoculation solution [0.25% (w/v) gelatine and 0.01% (v/v) Tween 20] and scraping the conidia from the surface using a sterile glass rod. Conidia were filtered through sterile miracloth and the density adjusted to 1 x 10 5 conidia mL-1 with inoculation solution. Fourteen day old wheat seedlings mist inoculated with 4 mL of a Magnaporthe conidia suspension and plants were sealed in plastic propagators to maintain relative humidity c.100% and kept at 25 C in the dark for the first 24 hours post inoculation (hpi). Inoculation solution without Magnaporthe conidia was used as a mock-inoculation control. Leaf samples were collected 24 hpi for transcriptomics analysis from three independent biological experiments. Leaf tissue was ground under liquid nitrogen and total RNA extracted using a QIAquick RNeasy Plant Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), followed by TURBO DNaseTM (Ambion, Texas, U.S.A.) treatment. RNeasy Mini Spin column purification (Qiagen) was used to further purify RNA samples for array hybridisation. RNA quality checks, cRNA conversion and Affymetrix genome array hybridisation was carried out by the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre (NASC) array hybridisation service (http://affymetrix.arabidopsis.info/). ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Graham McGrann.

View SamplesWe hypothesize that gene expression in the cigarette smoke (CS) exposed neonatal lung and age-matched controls will be divergent. CS exposed lung will have divergence of immune response genes and structural genes. The lungs of (6) 2 week old neonatal mice exposed to 2 weeks of CS were compared to the lung of (4) 2 week old age-matched control mice. We utilized microarray analysis to examine transcriptional differences between smoke exposed neonatal lung and age-matched controls.
