View SamplesAlthough smoking is the major risk factor for lung cancer, only 7% of female lung cancer patients in Taiwan have a history of cigarette smoking, extremely lower than those in Caucasian females. This report is a comprehensive analysis of the molecular signature of non-smoking female lung cancer in Taiwan.

View SamplesAccumulation of negative stressful life events caused major depressive disorder (MDD) a major public health problem related to disability around the world. For effective therapy and disease managements, a comprehensive genomic analysis to identify objective signatures is required to grasp pathophysiological changes and applicable markers.

View SamplesEpithelial appendages are the product of epithelial mesenchymal interactions. Tissue recombination experiments showed that in general, the dermis determines the phenotype of the epithelial appendage. Chicken dorsal skin epithelium interacts with its underlying mesenchyme to form feathers beginning at E7 (H&H stage 31), while metatarsal scale epithelium interacts with its mesenchyme to form scales beginning at E9 (H&H stage 35) which stabilize around E12 (H&H stage 38).
Emergence of differentially regulated pathways associated with the development of regional specificity in chicken skin.

View SamplesIn order to study the improtance of HSFA6b in salt and heat stresses of arabidopsis, we generated the HSFA6b-overexpression (HSFA6b-OE) and dominant-negative (HSFA6b-RD) mutant lines.

View SamplesSP110b is an interferon (IFN)-induced nuclear protein and may function as a transcriptional co-activator/repressor. IFN activates monocytes/macrophages thereby mediating inflammation. However, uncontrolled activation induces monocyte/macrophage cell death, which may cause immunopathology. We have demonstrated that SP110b expression prevented IFN-mediated monocyte/macrophage cell death.

View SamplesMacrophages in tumor microenvironment have been characterized as M1- and M2-polarized subtypes. This study sought to investigate the effects of different macrophage subtypes on the biological behavior and global gene expression profiles of lung cancer cells. Expression microarray and bioinformatics analyses indicated that the different macrophage subtypes mainly regulated genes involved in cell cycle, cytoskeletal remodeling, coagulation, cell adhesion and apoptosis pathways in A549 cells, a pattern that correlated with the altered behavior of A549 cells observed after coculture with macrophage subtypes.

View SamplesPluripotent stem cells are increasingly used for therapeutic models, including transplantation of neural progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including Maternally Expressed Gene 3 (MEG3) that is derived from DLK1-DIO3 imprinted locus, were found to be expressed during neural developmental events. Their deregulations are associated with various neurological diseases. The DLK1-DIO3 imprinted locus encodes abundant non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are regulated by differential methylation on the locus. The aim of our research is to study the correlation between the DLK1-DIO3 derived ncRNAs and the capacity of hESC neural lineage differentiation. We classified hESCs into MEG3-ON and MEG3-OFF based on the expression levels of MEG3 as well as its downstream miRNAs by qRT-PCR. Initial embryoid body (EB) formation was conducted to examine the three germ layer differentiation ability. cDNA microarray was used to analyze the gene expression profiles of hESCs. Directed neural lineage differentiation was performed, followed by analysis of neural lineage marker expression levels and neurite formation via qRT-PCR and immunocytochemistry methods to investigate the capacity of neural differentiation in MEG3-ON and MEG3-OFF hESCs
Loss of non-coding RNA expression from the DLK1-DIO3 imprinted locus correlates with reduced neural differentiation potential in human embryonic stem cell lines.

View SamplesSemophorin (SEMA) 6A showed capability to reduce the SEMA3A-derived supression of T cells. However, the effect of SEMA6A on the other immune cells was still unclear. Therefore, we performed gene expression analysis using an Affymetrix mouse genome 430 2.0 array to investigate the potential immune cells regualted by the interaction of SEMA6A and SEMA3A. Thus, we predicted other possible immune cells regulated by SEMA6A using GSEA to analyze the microarray data of co-cultured splenocytes.
