Thyroid gland is among the most sensitive organs to ionizing radiation. Whether low-dose radiation-induced papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) differs from sporadic PTC is yet unknown.

Sex, Age
View SamplesBRAFV600E mutation is the most frequent molecular event in papillary thyroid carcinoma. The relation of this genetic alteration with the factors od poor prognosis has been reported as well as its influence on PTC gene signature. However human material disables distinction of cancer causes from its effect.

View SamplesAnalysis of Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line treated with C2 ceramide, or combination of C2 ceramide and PJ34. Samples were collected in three time points: 3 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours. Results provide insight into the mechanism of cramide induced cell death and role of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in these proces.

View SamplesAnalysis of gene expression profile of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells exposed to hypoxic conditions (1% oxygen) or hypoxia mimicry (cobalt chloride) for 24 hours. Gene expression profiles were analyzed using MG-U74Av2 oligonucleotide microarrays. Data analysis revealed 2541 probesets (FDR<5%) for 1% oxygen experiment and 364 probesets (FDR<5%) for cobalt chloride, that showed differences in expression levels. Analysis of hypoxia-regulated genes (1% O2) by stringent Family-Wise Error Rate estimation indicated 454 significantly changed transcripts (p<0.05). The most upregulated genes were Lgals3, Selenbp1, Nppb (more than ten-fold increase). Both hypoxia and hypoxia-mimicry induced HIF-1 regulated genes. However, unsupervised analysis (Singular Value Decomposition) revealed distinct differences between gene expression induced by these two experimental conditions.

View SamplesTwo nuclear 5'-3' exonucleases XRN2/3 in Arabidopsis thaliana are homologs of the yeast and human Rat1/Xrn2, which are involved in degradation and processing of several classes of nuclear RNAs and in transcription termination of RNA polymerase II. Here we show that knockdown of XRN3 leads to altered expression of several hundred of the Arabidopsis genes and accumulation of new non-coding RNAs. Using strand-specific short read sequencing we reveal a widespread accumulation of intergenic transcripts in xrn3 mutants. These non-coding XAT (xrn3-associated transcripts) RNAs are generated by Pol II read-through transcription and are usually polyadenylated and lack the 5' cap structure. We show that XRN3-mediated changes in expression of a subset of genes are related to XAT transcription and may be enhanced by XAT-mRNA chimeras produced in xrn3 plants while antisense XATs may trigger siRNA production. Our results highlight the important role of the Rat1/Xrn2 5'-3' exoribonucleases in the torpedo mechanism of Pol II transcription termination and show that a global disturbance in this process significantly impacts both gene expression and transcriptome integrity.

View SamplesNew neurons are born throughout the life of mammals in germinal zones of the brain known as neurogenic niches: the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. These niches contain a subpopulation of cells known as adult neural progenitors (aNPCs), which self-renew and give rise to new neurons and glia. aNPCs are regulated by many factors present in the niche, including the extracellular matrix (ECM). We show that the neuropeptide PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide) affects subventricular zone-derived aNPCs by increasing their surface adhesion. Gene array and reconstitution assays indicate that this effect can be attributed to the regulation of ECM components and ECM-modifying enzymes in aNPCs by PACAP. Our work suggests that PACAP regulates a bidirectional interaction between the aNPCs and their niche: PACAP modifies ECM production and remodeling, in turn the ECM regulates progenitor cell adherence. We speculate that PACAP may in this manner help restrict adult neural progenitors to the stem cell niche in vivo, with potential significance for aNPC function in physiological and pathological states.
