Cytokines have been shown to play a key role in the destruction of beta cells. In the rat insulinoma cell line (INS-1ab) overexpressing pancreatic duodenum homeobox 1 (Pdx1) increases sensitivity to Interleukin 1b (IL-1b). To elucidate mechanisms of action underlying Pdx1 driven potentiation of beta-cell sensitivity to IL-1, we performed a microarray analysis of INS-1ab cells with and without Pdx1 overexpression exposed to IL-1 between 2h and 24h.

View SamplesBecause insufficiency of the Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) limits skeletal growth, there is a great deal of effort to activate Runx2 for clinical use. In this study, we found that MS-275, the class I-specific HDAC inhibitor, activates Runx2 both transcriptionally and translationally. Therefore, we performed NGS analysis to gain accurate patterns of gene expression in mouse calvaria tissue through MS-275 administration. As a result, we could get insight that treatment of MS-275 increases genes related with osteoblast differentiation and cell proliferation, and decreases genes in field of causing apoptosis. Overall design: Mice calvarial mRNA profiles of embryonic day 17.5 wild type (WT) and Runx2+/- mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina NextSeq 500. Mice were administered MS-275 or vehicle. Three replicates per group.

View SamplesPurpose: We purified whole brain microglia of MFP2 knockout mice and control mice utilizing percoll gradient and FACS sorting, followed by microarray analysis to define the molecular changes in MFP2 knockout mice at the endstage of the disease. We compared the microglia transcriptome of Mfp2-/- microglia to that of SOD1-G93A microglia isolated from spinal cord to define the microglia signature associated with a non-neurodegenerative environment. Results and conclusions: Mfp2-/- microglia acquire an activation state characterized by activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). In addition, activated microglia display reduced expression of genes that are normally highly expressed by surveillant microglia in steady-state conditions. The immunological profile of is heterogeneous and encompasses upregulation of both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes. In contrast to the neurodegeneration-specific microglia profile in SOD1-G93A mice, Mfp2-/- microglia do not induce genes associated with phagocytosis, lysosomal activation and neurotoxicity.

View SamplesBile acids play multiple roles in vertebrate metabolism by facilitating lipid absorption in the intestine and acting as a signaling molecule in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Bile acids are also the main route to excrete excess cholesterol out of the body. Alpha-methyl-Coa racemase (Amacr) is one of the enzymes needed to produce bile acids from cholesterol. The mouse model lacking Amacr can produce only minor (less than 10%) amounts of bile acids, but still they are symptomless in normal laboratory conditions.

View SamplesTo understand epigenetic changes in the distal regulatory as well as proximal regions, we performed RNA-seq, MBD-seq, and H3K27ac ChIP-seq on gastric tissues and cell lines. Overall design: mRNA sequencing profiles of normal tissue (n), purified gastric cancer (sc), and cultured gastric cancer cell (dc) were generated by deep sequencing, in five samples from three patients (csc1, csc2, csc3) and two replicates (csc1_sc2, csc1_sc3), using Illumina GAIIx and HiSeq2000.
