View SamplesAnalysis of expression changes in renal collecting duct epithelial cells by adenoviral mediated Krppel like transcription factor 5 (KLF5) overexpression. KLF5 is a key regulator of static and inflammatory stage in renal collecting duct epithelial cells. We thought these results provide insights into downstream genes of KLF5 in renal collecting duct epithelial cells.

View SamplesTo investigate the evolutionary divergence of transcriptional regulation between the mouse subspecies, we performed transcriptome analysis by microarray on testes from the X-chromosome substitution strain, which carries different subspecies-derived X chromosome on the host subspecies genome. Transcription profiling showed that large-scale aberrations in gene expression were occurred on the introgressed X chromosome. This improper expression was restored by introducing chromosome 1 from the same donor strain as the X chromosome, suggesting that the genetic incompatibility between trans-acting regulatory gene(s) on chromosome 1 and X-linked downstream genes might be a cause of the misregulation.

View SamplesThe publicly available genome sequence information of two rice strains, japonica cultivar Nipponbare and indica cultivar 93-11, opens a great opportunity for investigation of performances DNA genotyping by high-density oligonucleotide arrays. Here, we compare single feature polymorphism (SFP) detection performances between whole genome hybridization and transcript hybridization using Affymetrix Rice Expression Array and the two rice cultivars.
A simple optimization can improve the performance of single feature polymorphism detection by Affymetrix expression arrays.

View SamplesNucleotide polymorphisms can potentially influence the hybridization of mRNA to 25-mer oligonucleotides. Because Affymetrix Rice Genome Array was designated mainly for Nipponbare genome of Oryza sativa, the expression level of other varieties could not be estimated correctly. We tried to apply new approaches to estimate expression level by discerning the probe-level differential hybridization.

View SamplesInduced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells give rise to neural stem cells, which are applicable for therapeutic transplantation in treatment of neural diseases. However, generation of neural stem cells from iPS cells requires a careful selection of safe iPS clones. We sought to determine whether direct induction of neural stem cells from partially reprogrammed somatic cells is able to generate safer cells rapidly. We have successfully established direct induction system from fibroblast to neural stem cells. To characterize these directly induced neural stem cells, Gene expression profiles were compared with iPS cell or ES cell-derived neurosphere. We used affymetrix microarrays to compare the global gene expression of neurospheres prepared several method.
Neural stem cells directly differentiated from partially reprogrammed fibroblasts rapidly acquire gliogenic competency.
