We used a modification of GINI analysis to identify genes containing premature translation termination codons (PTC) generated by nonsense or frameshift mutations in prostate cancer cell lines. The analysis was performed in two steps. In the first step nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) was inhibited in prostate cancer cell lines using incubation with medium containing caffeine for 4 hours. Gene expression analysis of caffeine treated or untreated cells after this step detects mRNA accumulation that takes place for genes containing PTC and as well as for genes that show induction of transciption due to stress caused by NMD inhibition. In the second step either both transcription and NMD or transcription only are blocked by incubating cell in a medium containing either both actinomycin D and caffeine or actinomacin D only for 4 hours. Gene expression analysis after this second step detects mRNA degradation for genes containing PTC as well as for genes that show induction of transciption due to stress caused by NMD inhibition. The efficiency of mRNA degradation for genes containing PTC during this step depends on whether NMD is inhibited or not. The efficiency of mRNA degradation for stress response genes does not depend on whether NMD is inhibited or not.

View SamplesLive antigen-specific CD4 T cells are identified typically by tetramer staining or by staining of cytokines captured on the cell surface by bi-functional antibodies. We attempted identification of mycobacteria specific CD4 T cells using CD154 staining. In this method, splenocytes were stimulated with appropriate antigens in the presence of monensin and fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD154 antibody. Antigen-specific cells will be stained positive for CD154. We performed microarrays with CD154 positive and negative CD4 T cells.

View SamplesTo formally address the biological activity of ETS1 in vitro, we measured the transcriptional effect of ETS1 knock down by transducing HPB-ALL leukemia cell lines with a plKO - shETS1 and plko shLUC control. Samples were hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Log2 abundance estimates were obtained using gcrma package of Bioconductor, which is a version of the Robust Multi-Array Average (RMA) algorithm. We provide a supplementary file with gene annotation, which performs a two-sample T-test and computes an average fold-change.

View SamplesCell lines bearing MLL translocations (MV4-11 and MOLM-13) were treated with a potent, selective inhibitor of the DOT1L histone methyl transferase. Treatment of MLL-rearranged cell lines with the DOT1L inhibitor selectively inhibits H3K79 methylation and blocks expression of leukemogenic genes. Here we provide expression profiling data of cells treated with DOT1L inhibitor or vehicle control.

View SamplesSugars modulate expression of hundreds of genes in plants. Previous studies on sugar signaling, using intact plants or plant tissues, were hampered by tissue heterogeneity, uneven sugar transport and/or inter-conversions of the applied sugars. This, in turn, could obscure the identity of a specific sugar that acts as a signal affecting expression of given gene in a given tissue or cell-type. To bypass those biases, we have developed a novel biological system, based on stem-cell-like Arabidopsis suspension culture. The cells were grown in a hormone-free medium and were sustained on xylose as the only carbon source. The functional genomics approach was used to identify sugar responsive genes, which rapidly (within 1 h) respond specifically to low concentration (1 mM) of glucose, fructose and/or sucrose.
