Rice, the worlds most important food crop, is attacked by multiple herbivores and pathogens.the rice striped stem borer (SSB) Chilo suppressalis is one of another most important rice insect pests. Here, we use Affymetrix Whole-Genome rice arrays to detect SSB infestation responsive genes.

View SamplesKlinefelters Syndrome (KS) is one of the common chromosome aneuploidy diseases in males with unexplained physiological mechanism. iPSCs, are similar to ESCs in terms of indefinitive self-renewal and pluripotency, provided an alternative choice for modeling disease to facilitate the disease research in vitro.

View SamplesNon Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) causes the premature death of over 1 million people worldwide each year, but remains inadequately understood at the molecular level. To provide new insights for NSCLC treatment we performed a molecular characterisation of wild type and platinum drugs resistance in A549 cells. Transcriptome profiling revealed contrasting patterns of gene expression in sensitive and resistant cells and identified genes whose expression was highly correlated with the platinum drugs. Our results revealed a gene set of 15 transcripts whose expression was highly correlated with platinum-resistance in NSCLC A549 cell lines.

View SamplesThe identification and characterization of subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs) provide new understandings and possible therapeutic implications in cancer biology. We found the ovarian cancer sphere cells possessed CSCs properties maintained self renewal, drug resistance, and tumorigenesis. Using high-throughput microarray system, we identified common GO terms and pathway signatures significantly enriched in ovarian and breast cancer stem cells.
Ovarian and breast cancer spheres are similar in transcriptomic features and sensitive to fenretinide.

View SamplesMocetinostat (MGCD) which is a kind of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) promotes human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiation towards neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Application of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) increased the expression of neuroectodermal markers once neural differentiation was initiated, thereby leading to more NPC generation.
Suppression of histone deacetylation promotes the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells towards neural progenitor cells.

View SamplesThe skeleton is the most common metastasis site of breast cancer cells and the molecular underpinning of this process is incompletely understood. The tumor suppressor gene deleted in liver cancer-1 (DLC1) encodes a multi-domain protein including a RhoGTPase activating protein (RhoGAP) domain and has been reported to suppress the lung colonization of breast cancer cells. However, the role of DLC1 in breast cancer bone metastasis and the importance of RhoGAP-dependent and -independent pathways in this process remain unclear. Here, we showed that DLC1 silencing is linked to enhanced bone-tropism of breast cancer cell lines and poor prognosis of clinical samples.

View SamplesLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as powerful regulators of adipocyte differentiation and gene expression. However, their physiological role in adipose tissue biology and systemic energy metabolism has not been established. Here we show that adipose tissue expression of Blnc1, a conserved lncRNA regulator of thermogenic genes, is highly induced in obese mice. Fat-specific inactivation of Blnc1 impairs cold-induced thermogenesis and browning, exacerbates obesity-associated brown fat whitening, and worsens adipose tissue inflammation and fibrosis, leading to more severe insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. On the contrary, transgenic expression of Blnc1 in adipose tissue elicits the opposite and beneficial metabolic effects, supporting a critical role of Blnc1 in driving adipose adaptation during obesity. Mechanistically, Blnc1 cell-autonomously attenuates proinflammatory cytokine signaling and promotes fuel storage in adipocytes through its protein partner Zbtb7b. This study illustrates a surprisingly pleiotropic and dominant role of lncRNA in driving adaptive adipose tissue remodeling and preserving metabolic health.

View SamplesMice lacking TSKU exhibited elevated core body temperature and were unable to adequately suppress energy expenditure during starvation, leading to greater body weight loss. Tsku null mice were strongly resistant to diet-induced obesity and its associated metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. This metabolic phenotype was associated with sympathetic activation and enhanced brown fat thermogenesis. Here we used microarrays to uncover the metabolic pathways relevant to the phenotype induced by Tsku deficiency.
