Purpose: The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in liver transcriptome in response to short-term fasting between 7 and 13 h where the rats were dosed with 2 ml/kg of saline vehicle at 0 h Methods: Total RNA was isolated from the liver, using TRIzol Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and the direct-zol RNA Mini Prep kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA). The isolated RNA samples were then submitted to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center VANTAGE Core (Nashville, TN) for RNA quality determination and sequencing. Total RNA quality was assessed using a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). At least 200 ng of DNase-treated total RNA with high RNA integrity was used to generate poly-A-enriched mRNA libraries, using KAPA Stranded mRNA sample kits with indexed adaptors (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). Library quality was assessed using the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent), and libraries were quantitated using KAPA library Quantification kits (Roche). Pooled libraries were subjected to 75-bp paired-end sequencing according to the manufacturer's protocol (Illumina HiSeq3000, San Diego, CA). Results: No genes were were found to be differentially expressed with a false discovery rate less than 0.1 Conclusions: There were no significant changes in liver gene expression between 7 and 13 h of fasting Overall design: Liver mRNA profiles of 7- and 13-h fasted Sprague-Dawley rats were generated by RNA-seq.

View SamplesWe found that MPLA reprograms macrophages in a way that supports a persistent monocyte/macrophage chemokine secretion profile reflected in macrophage mRNA. Additionally, this RNA-seq data revealed that certain genes (e.g. phagocytosis-related) persist much longer after MPLA than others (e.g. pro-inflammatory cytokines). Overall design: Bone marrow derived macrophages were harvested for RNA after 4hrs of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) priming, 24hrs of MPLA priming, and 3 days following the end of priming

Introduction of MAGE into clinical practice of leukemia diagnosis will require comprehensive assessment of variation due to the methodologies.

View SamplesProtein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has recently emerged as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Disruption of ER homeostasis results in ER stress, which is a major cause of cell death for cells exposed to the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib, an anti-cancer drug approved for treatment of multiple myeloma and Mantle cell lymphoma. We recently reported that the ERAD inhibitor Eeyarestatin I (EerI) also disturbs ER homeostasis and has anti-cancer activities resembling that of Bortezomib.
The ERAD inhibitor Eeyarestatin I is a bifunctional compound with a membrane-binding domain and a p97/VCP inhibitory group.
