View SamplesTo better understand the molecular basis of the anticancer effects of acyclic retinoid (ACR), a genome-wide screening was applied to identify novel targets of ACR in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells JHH7. Gene expression profiles of JHH7 were measured at 0h, 1h and 4 hours after treatment with1 M All-trans retinoic acid (AtRA) or 10 M ACR. Hierarchical clustering with Wards method of 44,907 genes demonstrated diverse expression changes in HCC cells treated with ACR for 4h. A total of 973 differentially expressed genes in response to ACR by comparing with AtRA for 4h treatments were identified with a fold change more than 2. Then, network analysis was performed on the altered gene expression profiles using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) program. The most highly populated networks were associated with the regulation of cell cycle and DNA replication, as ACR is well known to induce apoptosis and suppress cell proliferation in HCC cells. Moreover, networks related with amino acid metabolism, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism, such as the biological network entitled Lipid Metabolism, Small Molecular Biochemistry, Vitamin and Mineral Metabolism were also observed. Of interest, this network contains genes that play critical roles in controlling the development of tissues and organs such as the nuclear orphan receptor nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2 (NR2F2), suggesting potential drug targets to prevent/treat HCC.

View SamplesTo identify the molecular targets of orosomucoid (Orm1) during liver regeneration, GeneChip analysis was performed at 48 h after partial hepatectomy (PH) in regenerating mouse liver treated with siControl or siOrm. A total of 180 differentially expressed genes in Orm1 konckdown mouse liver by comparing with siControl were identified with a fold change more than 2. Then, pathway analysis performed on the altered gene expression profiles using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) program revealed that cell cycle, Toll-like receptor and TGF-beta receptor signaling pathways were under control of Orm1 in regenerating mouse livers.

View SamplesThe experiment were perfomed as a part of our Vertebrate Evo-Devo project. The aim of the project is to compare transcription profiles of normal (unmanipulated, wild-type, whole embryo) vertebrate embryos. Total RNA was collected from wild type G.gallus whole embryos at 15 different stages (Stages:HH1,2,4,6,8,9,11,14,16,19,24,27,32,34,38), and hybridized to A-AFFY-103 Chicken Genome Array. All the stages contains data from two biological replications. Each staged-samples consists of pooled total RNA from several whole embryos.

View SamplesBased on the pkl dP mutant phenotype, it is predicted that PKL plays a key role in regulating GA-responsive genes that are important for vegetative growth and phase transitions. To test this hypothesis, global transcriptome analysis was performed by RNA-Seq using shoots of 13d-old ga1-13 and ga1-13 pkl that were mock-treated or 10 µM GA3-treated for 24 h.

View SamplesGliomas are the most common malignant tumors of the brain. The aim of this study is to identify caspase-dependent apoptotic genes and uncover their potential regulatory mechanism in glioma progression. Human glioma cell line U251 was used. Three experiment groups were set as control group, H2O2 group (treated with H2O2) and caspase inhibitor group (treated with caspase inhibitor).

View SamplesGold is widely considered to be a biologically inert element; however, it can elicit a profound biological response in plants. Plants can be exposed to significant levels of this precious metal in the environment from naturally occurring sources, as the result of mining activities or more recently resulting from the escalating use of nanoparticles in industry. In this microarray study we have investigated the gene expression response of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) to gold. Although the uptake of metal cations by plant transporters is well characterised, little is known about the uptake of gold, which exists in soil predominantly in a zero-valent state (Au0). We used this study to monitor the expression of candidate genes involved in metal uptake and transport. These show the down-regulation of a discreet number of genes known to be involved in the transport of copper, cadmium, nickel and iron.
