To identify transcripts that are regulated by putative transcriptional co-activators, WT (Col) and KO of heat responsive transcriptional co-activator (Multiprotein Bridging Factor 1c) in Arabidopsis were subjeted to heat stress. These plants were compared to find transcripts that are regulated by the transcriptional co-activator during heat stress.

View SamplesEctopic pregnancy is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women in the first trimester. A reliable diagnostic test for the detection of ectopic pregnancy in cases of non-viable pregnancy of unknown location (NV-PUL) is needed. The objective of the current study is to define differences in molecular expression profiles in ectopic and abnormal intrauterine pregnancies toward discovery of biologically plausible ectopic classifier candidate. These samples come from a prospective cohort study comparing transcriptome profiles from women with ectopic pregnancy (ECT) or non-viable intrauterine pregnancy (NV-IUP). Samples were analyzed with the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array.

View SamplesHuman strabismic extraocular muscles (EOMs) differ from normal EOMs in structural and functional properties, but the gene expression profile of these two types of human EOM has not been examined. Differences in gene expression may inform about causes and effects of the strabismic condition in humans. Our samples are from human strabismic patients undergoing corrective surgery, and from human organ donors with no history of EOM disease.

View SamplesInterstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) have important functions in regulation of motor activity in the gastrointestinal tract. In murine small intestine ICC are gathered in the region of the myenteric plexus (ICC-MY) and within the deep-muscular plexus near the submucosal surface of the circular muscle layer (ICC-DMP). These two classes of ICC have different physiological functions.

View SamplesMost organisms have an endogenous circadian clock that is synchronized to environmental signals such as light and temperature. Although circadian rhythms have been described in the nematode C. elegans at the behavioral level, these rhythms appear to be relatively non-robust. Moreover, in contrast to other animal models, no circadian transcriptional rhythms have been identified. Thus, whether this simple nematode contains a bona fide circadian clock remains an open question.

View SamplesBoth benign nevi and melanomas exhibit high rates of activating mutations in BRAF kinase, suggesting that this event is important for melanocyte proliferation and melanoma initiation in vivo; however, the precise mechanism of BRAF kinase action in these lesions remains to be elucidated. We have used comprehensive gene expression profiling to evaluate the downstream effectors of activated BRAFV600E kinase in primary human melanocytes and identified a dominant proliferative target gene signature for BRAF kinase in these cells.

View SamplesIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific form of chronic, progressive fibrosing interstitial disease of unknown cause. It remains impractical to conduct early diagnosis and predict IPF progression just based on gene expression information. Moreover, the relationship between gene expression and quantitative phenotypic value in IPF keeps controversial. To identify biomarkers to predict survival in IPF, we profiled protein-coding gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We linked the gene expression level with the quantitative phenotypic variation in IPF, including diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted. In silico analyses on the expression profiles and quantitative phenotypic data allowed for the generation of a set of IPF molecular signature that predicted survival of IPF effectively.
