The aim of this experiment was to understand secondary cell wall formation as it is a major constituent of wood and plant fibres. To identify potential novel genes involved in this process, data has been generated from Arabidopsis stem, leaf and hypocotyl tissue undergoing varying amounts of secondary cell wall synthesis.

View SamplesThe aim of this experiment was to investigate the role of MIF during wound healing using BALB/C MIF null mice and in the context of reduced estrogen-associated impaired healing using ovariectomized mice (a mouse model of age-associated delayed healing). Ageing is associated with delayed cutaneous wound healing resulting from reduced estrogen levels. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF - NCBI RefSeq: NM_010798) is thought to mediate the effects of estrogen on wound healing. Gene expression was compared between wounds from ovariectomized MIF null mice and controls.

View SamplesThe present study aimed to delineate the central mechanisms by which androgens delay wound repair. Blocking the conversion of testosterone to 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5alpha-reductase limits its ability to impair skin wound healing, suggesting that DHT is a more potent inhibitor of repair than is testosterone. This study aims to identify, through transcription profiling, potential mechanisms by which the 5alpha-reductase inhibitor MK-434 modulates repair. Microarray analysis of wound RNA samples from rats in which the transformation of testosterone to DHT is prevented has identified biological processes and key individual genes through which DHT may contribute to the altered healing profile in such animals. These include genes with putative roles in wound contraction and re-epithelialization.

View SamplesThe aim of this experiment was measure the influence of age on cutaneous wound healing using human subjects. Increaded age has been associated with delayed wound healing in mouse models and in humans. Gene expression was compared between excisional biopsy wounds from young and old subjects.

View SamplesOxidative stress is a harmful condition in a cell, tissue, or organ, caused by an imbalnace between reactive oxygen species and other oxidants and the capacity of antioxidant defense systems to remove them. The budding yeast S. cerevisiae has been the major eukaryotic model for studies of response to oxidative stress.

View SamplesThe response to growth hormone in humans is dependent on phenotypic, genetic and environmental factors. The present study in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) collected worldwide characterised gene-environment interactions on growth response to recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH). Growth responses in children are linked to latitude, and we found that a correlation of latitude, summer daylight exposure (SDE) was a key environmental factor related to growth response to r-hGH. In turn growth response was determined by an interaction between both SDE and genes known to affect growth response to r-hGH. In addition analysis of associated networks of gene expression implicated a role for circadian clock pathways and specifically the developmental transcription factor NANOG. This work provides the first observation of gene-environment interactions in children treated with r-hGH.
