While acute aerobic and resistance exercise stimulate a number of shared genes, each exercsie mode stimlutes a number of uniquely responsive genes, thus highlighting that different forms of exercise facilitate distinct molecular responses in skeletal muscle. Overall design: Randomized, counter-balanced, cross-over design (n=6) in which subjects performed an acute bout aerobic and resistance exercise separated by ~1 week.

View SamplesThe current study employed next-generation RNA sequencing to examine gene expression related to brain aging and cognitive decline. Young and aged rats were trained on a spatial episodic memory task. Hippocampal regions CA1, CA3 and the dentate gyrus (DG) were isolated. Poly-A mRNA was examined using two different platforms, Illumina and Ion Proton. The Illumina platform was used to generate lists of genes that were differentially expressed across regions, ages, and in association with cognitive function. The gene lists were then retested using the Ion Proton platform. The results describe regional differences in gene expression and point to regional differences in vulnerability to aging. Aging was associated with increased expression of immune response related genes, particularly in the dentate gyrus. Finally, for the memory task used, impaired performance of aged animals was linked to the regulation of Ca2+ and synaptic function in region CA1. Overall design: The study contains a total of 10 young (5-6 months) and 24 aged (17-22 months) Fischer 344 male rats which were used to investigate expression patterns associated with aging and behavior. Prior to gene analysis, the animals were characterized on an episodic memory task across two academic institutions to test the reliability of the task (University of Florida: 5 young rats and 13 aged rats; University of Arizona: 5 young rats and 11 aged rats). Following total RNA isolation for the CA1, CA3 and DG regions, next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries were prepared for two platforms, Illumina and Ion Proton. For both platforms, poly-A selection of mRNA was performed followed by library preparation protocols for each NGS system. In addition, whole transcriptome sequencing in Illumina was also performed using the ribominus method to investigate differential expression of additional RNA species across the hippocampus. This Series includes only the samples examined using the Ion Proton platform.

View SamplesThe current study employed next generation RNA sequencing using two different platforms (Illumina and Ion Proton) to examine gene expression differences related to brain aging, cognitive decline, and hippocampus subregions (CA1, CA3, DG). Young and aged rats were trained on a spatial episodic memory task. The results describe regional differences in gene expression and point to regional differences in vulnerability to aging. Aging was associated with increased expression of immune response related genes, particularly in the dentate gyrus. For the memory task, impaired performance of aged animals was linked to the regulation of Ca2+ and synaptic function in region CA1. Finally, we provided a transcriptomic characterization of the three subregions regardless of age or cognitive status, highlighting and confirming a correspondence between cytoarchitectural boundaries and molecular profiling. Overall design: Male Fisher 344 rats of two ages, young (5-6 months, total n = 10; n = 5 AZ, n = 5 FL) and aged (17-22 months, total n = 24; n = 11 AZ, n = 13 FL) were obtained from National Institute on Aging''s colonies (Taconic, FL; Charles River, AZ). Animals were maintained on a 12:12 hour light/dark schedule, and provided ad libitum access to food and water prior to the set shifting task. The Morris Water Maze test was conducted, and behavioural data were acquired with either Noldus EthoVision computer tracking software (Noldus Information Technology, (Leesburg, VA) in FL or AnyMaze (Wood Dale, IL) in AZ) and included path-length and time in the goal and opposite quadrants. Two weeks following water maze testing, rats were anesthetized with isoflurane (Piramal Healthcare), decapitated and the brain was rapidly removed. The hippocampus was isolated, a 1-2 mm slice was removed from the dorsal hippocampus, and the CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus (DG) regions were dissected [1, 8]. The collected tissue was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in -80ºC until processed.

View SamplesWe report here that human mitochondria contain small RNA including microRNA, piRNA, tRNA, rRNA, and RNA repeats. Mitochondria from human cells were purified and RNA isolated. Small RNAs were purified, library generated and analyzed by Illumina Hiseq 2000 system. The sequencing generated 19.5 and 17.7 million reads from HEK-293 and HeLa respectively. 91% and 97% sequences of HEK293 and HeLa respectively were annotated to various classes of small RNA. The total percentage of 4.21 and 2.58 sequences from HEK293 and HeLa respectively was found to be of miRNA. Further, we found only 1.2 % sequences from both the libraries aligned to mitochondrial genome. These results suggest that there is efficient transport of nuclear encoded small RNA to mitochondria. The small RNA in mitochondria may regulate critical cellular processes. Overall design: Analyzing the smallRNA in human mitochondria from two human cell lines (HEK-293 and HeLa).

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to minimize the number of candidate genes responsible for salt tolerance between a pair of rice varieties (CSR27 and MI48) with contrasting level of salt tolerance by bulked segregant analysis of their recombinant inbred lines. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the tolerant and susceptible parents without and with stress showed 798 and 2407 differentially expressed genes, respectively. The number of differentially expressed genes was drastically reduced to 70 and 30, by pooling the RNAs from ten extreme tolerant and ten extreme susceptible RILs due to normalization of irrelevant differentially expressed genes between the parents.

View SamplesWe report the androgen receptor recruitment to the chromatin of androgen responsive prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP-1F5 and VCaP in response to physiological androgen 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) using ChIP-sequencing. We compare the AR recruitment by DHT to that by partial agonist/antagonist cyproterone acetate and mifepristone (RU486) in LNCaP-1F5 cells. We also report the role of glucocorticoid receptor recruitment in presence of dexamethasone (Dex) in androgen responsive prostate cancer cells. The AR and GR cistrome analysis is subsequently compared with gene expression data and RNA Pol II analysis. The ChIP-seq has been performed using AR, GR, RNA Pol II antibodies.

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to identify candidate genes responsible for grain number per panicle between a pair of rice varieties (Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1) by combining QTL analysis with expression analysis. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the panicle primordia showed 2741 differentially expressed genes. The differentially expressed genes were shortened to 18 on the basis of their occurance in the QTL region (responsible for grain number regulation) detected in RIL population derived from Pusa 1266 and Pusa Basmati 1.

View SamplesLiver stage of malaria parasite exports SLTRiP and PB268 to the cytosol of parasite infected host cell. To know the host genes perturbed by WT-PBANKA, SLTRiP-KO and PB268-KO parasite growth, we did transcriptomic sequencing of infected host cells. We did mRNA sequencing of four samples for comparative analysis of WT and PB-knockout parasites infected host cells at 22 hours of post sporozoites infection. Overall design: mRNA profiles of Plasmodium PBANKA, PBSLTRiP-KO, PB268-KO parasite infected and uninfected HepG2 cells after 22hrs of sporozoites infections were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx.

View SamplesAbiotic stresses like drought, salinity, high and low temperature, and submergence are major factors that limit the crop productivity. Hence, identification of genes associated with stress response in crops is a prerequisite for improving their tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. In this study, we have analyzed the expression profiles of three genotypes WT, TaVAP mutant and TaVAPOE plants in Arabidopsis thaliana in col-0 background using microarray technology to identify the genes differentially expressed under control conditions.
