Zebrafish ncx1h (also known as slc8a1a) encodes a cardiac specific sodium-calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1h), a primary Ca 2+ efflux effector in cardiomyocytes. The zebrafish tremblor (tre) mutant lacks functional NCX1h and, consequentially, cyclic Ca2+ transients are abolished. In this study, we investigated the effect of aberrant Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiomyocytes on gene expression. Wild type and ncx1 mutant hearts at 48 hours post fertilization were isolated for RNA preparation and gene expression analysis was performed using an Affymetrix Zebrafish GeneChip.

View SamplesGene expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from SPARKS CHARMS juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) cohort pre and post methotrexate therapy. This is the first study to our knowledge, to evaluate gene expression profiles in children with JIA before and after MTX, and to analyze genetic variation in differentially expressed genes. We have identified a gene, which may contribute to genetic variability in MTX response in JIA.

View SamplesSF-1 (NR5A1) was overexpressed (Over) or knocked down with shRNA (shRNA) in NCI-H295R human adrenocortical tumor cells and differential global gene expression analysed 48 hours later using Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0ST arrays. Over: 5 million cells were transfected (Amaxa Nucleofection) with 10 ug of a pIRES2-AcGPF1-Nuc construct co-expressing SF-1 cDNA and GFP. For experimental control, a mutagenized pIRES2 construct, bearing the G35E mutation in SF-1 that impairs its transactivation function in vivo and in vitro was used. shRNA: 5 million cells were transfected (Amaxa Nucleofection) with 10 ug of the SureSilencing shRNA Plasmid for Human NR5A1 with GFP marker kit (SABioscience). For experimental control, mismatch constructs provided in the kit were used. In both experiments (Over and shRNA), cells were harvested, prepared, and submitted to fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) in a MoFlo XDP sorter 48 hours after transfection. Viable GFP-expressing cells were pooled and resuspended in TRIzol reagent for RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted, and RNA quality control performed using a 2100 Bioanalyzer.

View SamplesN=134 human liver samples from morbidly obese patients and healthy controls were analysed by array-based mRNA expression profiling. Liver messenger RNA expression datasets from the German patients were generated on the HuGene 1.1 ST gene array The purpose of the study was to correlate these gene expression data with body mass index and with an epigenetic measure of age acceleration based on DNA methylation data.
