View SamplesNeuro-2a cells were infected with ZIKV (MOI = 0.5) for 48 h and total RNA was extracted and purified using TRI Reagent and RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA-seq was performed at the Molecular and Genomics Core Facility of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Differential expression analysis between mock and ZIKV infected cells was done using Tophat and cuffdiff programs from the tuxedo suite.

View SamplesViral and bacterial coinfections are common in nature, but infrequently studied in laboratory models of infection. We observed disease severity differences in mice infected with two of three possible respiratory viruses, depending on the order of the infection. To discover the mechanisms causing these differences, we compared gene expression responses of lung tissue at three time points following viral coinfection. Differential gene expression and immune cell counts suggest a dampening of immune responses in mice infected with rhinovirus followed by influenza A virus or pneumonia virus of mice.

View SamplesRNA-sequencing was used on leaf tissue from 29 diverse maize lines to characterize differences in gene expression between lines. The main goal from this study was to relate gene expression to measured traits of interest.

View SamplesC2C12 cells, as mouse-derived myoblasts, are a classic cell model for studying skeletal muscle development. We knocked down the immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine-rich repeat (Islr) gene in C2C12 cell line and studied the effect of Islr on the proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 cells.

View SamplesEffect of ethanol or nicotine exposure on gene expression compared to control. Duplicate arrays from ethanol or nicotine treated animals compared with triplicate arrays from paired control animals. In total 4 treatment arrays (2 ethanol, 2 nicotine) and 3 control arrays (from control animals treated in parallel with ethanol-treated fish and nicotine-treated fish.)

View SamplesWe generated three kinds of genetically identical mouse reprogrammed cells: induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), nuclear transfer embryonic stem cells (ntESCs) and iPSC-nt-ESCs that are established after successively reprogramming of iPSCs by nuclear transfer (NT). NtESCs show better developmental potential than iPSCs, whereas iPSC-nt-ESCs display worse developmental potential than iPSCs.

View SamplesTransient mitochondrial stress can promote beneficial physiological responses and longevity, termed "mitohormesis." To interrogate mitohormetic pathways in mammals, we generated mice in which mitochondrial superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) can be knocked-down in an inducible and reversible manner (iSOD2-KD). Depleting SOD2 only during embryonic development did not cause post-natal lethality, allowing us to probe adaptive responses to mitochondrial oxidant stress in adult mice. Liver from adapted mice had increased mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant gene expression and fewer reactive oxygen species. Gene expression analysis implicated non- canonical activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant and PPAR-PGC-1 mitochondrial signaling pathways in this response. Transient SOD2 knock-down in embryonic fibroblasts from iSOD2-KD mice also resulted in adaptive mitochondrial changes, enhanced antioxidant capacity, and resistance to a subsequent oxidant challenge. We propose that mitohormesis in response to mitochondrial oxidative stress in mice involves sustained basal activation of mitochondrial and antioxidant signaling pathways to establish a heightened antioxidant state.
