View SamplesAt present, the DNA microarray application to study traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) has received more and more attention. Furthermore, kinds of TCMs were too large, and ingredients in TCMs were also extremely abundant, which afforded an extraordinary source for drug development. To pursue a suitable approach on the research of TCM components, we produced gene expression profiles of 102 TCM ingredients treating MCF7 cells. All selected molecules were main ingredients in Chinese herb and TCM formula. In addition, the gene expression profiles data can be analyzed in combination with public database connectivity map (CMAP) and other bioinformatics methods, which could identify the underlying pharmacological mechanisms and molecular targets/pathway of numerous components.

View SamplesThe Notch signaling pathway plays a critical role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells including hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Notch receptors and ligands are expressed in BM stromal and hematopoietic cells. A large body of evidence has demonstrated that activating Notch signaling enhances HSCs self-renewal and facilitates its expansion ex vivo. We report that an endothelium-targeted soluble Notch ligand, the DSL domain of mouse Delta-like 1 fused with a RGD motif (mD1R), efficiently promotes the expansion ex vivo of mouse bone marrow HSPCs in a Notch signaling and endocytosis dependent manner. HSPCs expanded in the presence of mD1R kept long-term HSPC repopulation capacity.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to determine which genes are differentially regulated by the E3 ligase Nrdp1 in CD8+ T cells after treatments with anti-CD3/CD28 Abs. The results demonstrate increased induction of cytotoxicity-associated genes in Nrdp1-/- mice than in Nrdp1+/+ mice after activation. Thus Nrdp1 may be involved in the regulation of TCR signaling.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to determine what are the effects of Src deficiency on innate antiviral response upon virus infection in RAW264.7 cells. Wild type and Src-/- RAW264.7 cells were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) or herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) for 6h. Then the differentially regulated genes were analyzed.
The tyrosine kinase Src promotes phosphorylation of the kinase TBK1 to facilitate type I interferon production after viral infection.

View SamplesLow back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent conditions which need medical advice and result in chronic disabilities. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common reason for LBP. A lot of researchers think that CEP degeneration play critical roles in the initiation and development of DDD. In recent years, researchers have put interests on cell-based therapies for regenerating disc structure and function. Our research team has isolated cartilage endplate-derived stem cells (CESCs) and validated their chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation ability. Enhanced chondrogenic differentiation and inhibited osteogenic differentiation of CESCs may retard CEP calcification and restore the nutrition supply, possibly regenerating the degenerated discs.

View SamplesWe did microarray experiments to elucidate the transcriptome changes due to TCF-1 deficiency in Tfh cells. These data clearly demonstrate that Tfh-associated genes were down-regulated in TCF-1-null Tfh cells, whereas Th1-associated signatures were up-regulated, indicating that TCF-1 initiates the Tfh fate by directly strengthening Tfh signatures while suppressing Th1-associated genes.
