HNF4a is an important liver transcription factor that regulates at least a thousand genes in the liver. Here we used expression profiling in HepG2 cells, a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, in which HNF4a was knocked down by RNAi to identify some of those target genes. This dataset accompanies the article in Hepatology 2010 Feb;51(2):642-53.

View SamplesPurpose: Aim of the study is to identify functional differences between the P1 and P2-HNF4a isoforms. To do this, we generated Tet-On inducible lines that express either the human (P1) HNF4a2 or (P2) HNF4a8 under control of DOX in the HCT116 human colon cancer cells. Methods: HNF4a2 and Parental lines were induced with 0.3 µg/mL DOX, while HNF4a8 line was induced with either 0.1 or 0.3 µg/mL DOX for 24 hours. Samples were generated by deep sequencing, using the Illumina TruSeq RNA. Result: There were common and unique dysregulated genes identified in the HNF4a2 and HNF4a8 lines (+DOX); more upregulated genes than downregulated genes in both the lines. Conclusion: The functional difference between HNF4a2 and HNF4a8 is that the latter tends to upregulate genes involved in proliferation and anti-apoptosis while HNF4a2 upregulates genes involved in growth suppression and cell death. Overall design: Tet-On inducible HCT116 cell (Parental, HNF4a2, and HNF4a8) lines, treated with (0.0, 0.1, or 0.3 µg/mL) DOX for 24 hours, were 50bp pair-ended sequenced in triplicate using Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep v2 Kit.

View SamplesChronic loss of Lasp1 alters the expression of other genes associated with cell motility/attachment, and/or other cellular functions. Results provide new information showing that loss of Lasp1 leads to up- and down-regulation of genes involved in cell motility/attachment/growth.
Lasp1 gene disruption is linked to enhanced cell migration and tumor formation.

Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesCells undergoing malignant transformation often shift their cellular metabolism from primarily oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect). Energy restriction-mimetic agents (ERMAs), such as 2-deoxyglucose and resveratrol, that target this shift in cellular metabolism have been effective in inhibiting cancer cell growth in vitro, and xenograft tumor growth in vivo.

View SamplesProphase I of male meiosis involves dynamic chromosome segregation processes during early spermatogenesis, including synapsis, meiotic recombination, and cohesion. Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility in humans, we performed expression profiling of mouse spermatogenic cells undergoing meiotic prophase I.

Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss in humans, we performed expression profiling of male and female gonads of mice undergoing meiotic prophase I.

View SamplesNOD mice were injected once a week with LTBR-Ig to block the LTBR-pathway, or with control monoclonal antibody MOPC from age 8 to 16 weeks old. Extraorbital lacrimal glands or submaxillary glands were dissected and total mRNA prepared. Each sample was either the combined lacrimals (2) from each mouse or individual salivary glands. There were 4 mice in each treatment group. Total mRNA was isolated and the quality was assessed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Reverse transcription to prepare cDNA was performed using Invitrogen M-MLV system. The purpose was to determine changes in gene expression in glands due to blockade of the LTBR-pathway.

View SamplesIn this study, we analyzed global liver gene expression in MICU1 knock-down (KD) mice. To generate liver-specific MICU1 KD mice, MICU1loxp/loxp male mice were treated with an AAV8-Cre under the control of a hepatocyte specific promoter (TBG). AAV8-TBG-Null treated littermates were used as controls. Liver samples were collected 3-5 weeks after injection. Knockdown was verified by protein and mRNA (94%, 98%, respectively). Mouse Gene 2.0 ST (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) arrays were used to obtain global gene expression data.

Treatment
View SamplesTwo Near Isogenic soybean (Glycine max) lines were grown in hydroponic conditions with either 50uM ferric nitrate or 100uM ferric nitrate. After 10 days, half the plants were harvested (total root tissue). At 12 days after planting, iron was added to plants grown in low iron conditions bringing them up to sufficient iron growth conditions. Root tissue was harvested for the remaining plants at 14 days after planting.
