An investigation of gene expression changes in rectal biopsies from donors with IBS compared to controls to begin to understand this complex syndrome. To further investigate differences between IBS groups (constipation and diarrhoea predominant) (part1) and how IBS relates to bacterial infection (part2) with biopsies taken 6 months after Campylobacter jejuni infection.

View SamplesDifference in RNA content of different cell types introduces bias to gene expression deconvolution methods. If ERCC spike-ins are introduced into samples, predicted proportions of deconvolution methods can be corrected Overall design: Two cell types of distinctly different sizes and RNA per cell content: HEK cells and Jurkat cells were mixed in different proportions ensuring that each mixture contained total of one million cells. We sequenced RNA of the samples (including ERCC spike-in controls to 382 be able to control for the absolute RNA-concentration).

View SamplesClassical dendritic cells (DCs) are key players at the interface between innate and adaptive immunity. In the kidney exist 2 major subsets of cDCs: CD11b+ cDCs and CD103+ cDCs. We investigated their function in the most widely used model of experimental glomerulonephritis (GN) in mice: nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN). Consistent with a role for cDCs in nephrotoxic nephritis, depletion of ZBTB46+ cells (all cDCs) attenuated kidney injury, while deficiency of the CD103+ subset of cDCs accelerated injury via a mechanism that involved increased neutrophils. This RNAseq was performed to analyze transcriptional changes in FACS-sorted renal CD11b+ and CD103+ cDCs under healthy conditions and at day 7 of NTN to reveal why both subsets have different functions in GN. Overall design: The study was performed with total of 6 mice (wildtype, male, age 8-12 weeks). 3 mice were sacrificed in the healthy situation, 3 mice were sacrificed 7 days after injection of the nephrotoxic nephritis antiserum (NTN). From each mouse CD11b+ and CD103+ DCs were sorted, resulting in 4 experimental conditions with 3 biological replicates each: CD103_healthy, CD11b_healthy, CD103_NTN, CD11b_NTN.

View SamplesThe CMVpp65 protein contains 2 bipartite nuclear localization signals (NLS) at 415-438aa and 537-561aa near the carboxy terminus of CMVpp65 and a phosphate binding site related to kinase activity at lysine-436. A mutation of pp65 having K436N (CMVpp65mII) and further deletion of aa537-561 resulted in a novel protein (pp65mIINLSKO) that is kinase-less and has markedly reduced nuclear localization. The purpose of this report was to study the biologic characterization of this protein and its immunogenicity compared to native pp65.Using RNA microarray analysis, expression of the CMVpp65mIINLSKO had less effect on cell cycle pathways than did the native CMVpp65 and a greater effect on cell surface signalling pathways involving immune activity. It is concluded that the removal of the primary NLS motif from pp65 does not impair its immunogenicity and may actually be advantageous in the design of a vaccine.

View SamplesAn auxin-binding protein (Abp57) was previously isolated from rice and known to activate plasma membrane proton ATPase. The Abp57 function was characterised by overexpression in the rice and Arabidopsis. The transgene expression was driven by constitutive promoter, CaMV35S. Results from physiological experiments showed that the transgenic lines were tolerant to drought and salinity stress.

View SamplesWe identified 4,356 genes with expression differences associated with a high-fat diet, with 184 genes exhibiting a sex-by-diet interaction. Dietary fat dysregulated several pathways, such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine signaling, and oxidative phosphorylation. Grant: Funding source: American Heart Association Grant number: 16PRE26420105 Title: The effect of maternal over-nutrition on obesity, epigenetics, and gene expression Awarded to Madeline Keleher Overall design: We performed RNA-seq in 21 total libraries, each with two mice of the same sex and diet pooled together (There were 6 low-fat-fed female libraries, 5 libraries of high-fat-fed females, 5 libraries of low-fat-fed males, and 5 libraries of high-fat-fed males). A 1x50 single read sequencing run was done on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 machine (Illumina Inc.)
