Che-1 is a RNA Polymerase II binding protein involved in the regulation of gene transcription. We have observed that Che-1 depletion induces apoptosis in several cancer cells expressing mutated forms of p53. We used microarrays to investigate classes of genes regulated by Che-1 in one of these cell lines.
Che-1 promotes tumor cell survival by sustaining mutant p53 transcription and inhibiting DNA damage response activation.

View SamplesWe hypothesized that the relative abundances of host cell transcripts in lymph nodes of animals with malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), compared to healthy controls, may be used to identify pathways that may help to explain the pathogenesis of MCF. Therefore, an abundance of host cell gene expression patterns in lymph nodes of animals with MCF and healthy controls were analyzed by microarray. Indeed, a vast number of genes related to inflammatory processes, lymphocyte activation, cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected at different abundances. However, the IL-2 transcript was eminent among the transcripts, which were, compared to healthy controls, less abundant in animals with MCF. Compared to healthy cattle, bovines with MCF appear to mimic an IL-2 knockout phenotype that has been described in mice. This supports the hypothesis that immunopathogenic events are linked to the pathogenesis of MCF. IL-2-deficiency may play an important role in the process.

Rapamycin response in tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic hepatic cell lines.
No sample metadata fields
View SamplesTwo rat hepatic cell lines, WB-F344 and WB311, were characterized for the effect of rapamycin on gene expression. The WB311 cell line, which is tumorigenic and resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of rapamycin, was originally derived from the WB-F344 parental hepatic epithelial cell line. The goal of this experiment was to identify genes that responded to rapamycin in the sensitive cells but not the resistant cells, thereby providing insight into the mechanism of rapamycin resistance.

View Samplesstrand specific sequencing of RNAs from MAoECs to determine the endothelial-specific expression profile of protein-coding and long non-coding RNAs Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from cultured MAoECs (passage 4) and processed for a strand-specific RNA sequencing. The RNA purity and integrity were assessed using the Fragment Analyzer Automated CE System (Advanced Analytical). A RQN of 8.8 and a 28S/18S ratio of 2.2 were considered acceptable for next generation sequencing assay. Five µg of DNase-treated RNA were used to prepare Massive Analysis of cDNA ends (MACE) libraries needed to perform a DNA-Methylation-Sequencing (Meth-Seq) PCR bias free quantification with TrueQuant Technology, followed by a high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer II system (GenXPro GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany). The procedure consist in the extraction of poly-adenylated RNA from 5 µg RNA and reverse transcribed with biotinylated poly(T) primers. cDNA is fragmented to an average size of 250 bp. Biotinylated ends are captured by streptavidin beads and ligated to modified adapters (TrueQuant DNA adapter, GenXPro). The libraries are amplified by PCR, purified by SPRI beads and sequenced (2 x 100 bp Illumina HiSeq2000 TrueSeq, 2 x 20 Mio. Reads poly-A selected paired-end reads). Paired end sequencing of both DNA strands from each end is required for fragment strand specificity.

View SamplesHuman lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-immortalised B cells, LcL) obtained from subjects of different age (young 28-40 years, centenarians >95 years) were analysed for gene expression at basal culture conditions and after 48 hours of serum starvation. Lymphoid B cells from centenarians were more resistant to apoptosis induction and displayed a more developed lysosomal compartment, the most critical component of phagic machinery. In addition, cells from centenarians were capable of engulfing and digesting other cells, i.e. their siblings (even entire cells). This behavior was improved by nutrient deprivation, but strikingly, it was unaffected by the autophagy-modulating drugs rapamycin, an autophagy inducer, and 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor.
