Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Myocilin, a causative gene for open-angle glaucoma, encodes a secreted glycoprotein of unknown function. To elucidate its function(s), we produced a stably transfected HEK293 cell line expressing myocilin and compared the expression profiles between the myocilin-expressing cell line and a vector control cell line using Affymetrix GeneChip U133 plus 2.0 array. A significant portion of differentially-expressed genes in the myocilin-expressing cells was associated with cell growth and cell death, suggesting that myocilin may have an important role regulating cell growth/survival..

Description
The control of mRNA stability plays a central role in regulating gene expression. In metazoans, the earliest stages of development are driven by maternally supplied mRNAs. The degradation of these maternal mRNAs is critical for promoting the maternal-to-zygotic transition of developmental programs, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood in vertebrates. Here, we characterized maternal mRNA degradation pathways in zebrafish using a transcriptome analysis and systematic reporter assays. Our data demonstrate that ORFs enriched with uncommon codons promote deadenylation by the CCR4-NOT complex in a translation-dependent manner. This codon-mediated mRNA decay is conditional on the context of the 3' UTR, with long 3' UTRs conferring resistance to deadenylation. These results indicate that the combined effect of codon usage and 3' UTR length determines the stability of maternal mRNAs in zebrafish embryos. Our study thus highlights the codon-mediated mRNA decay as a conserved regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes. Overall design: zebrafish embryonic mRNA profile at 2 different stages (2 hpf and 6 hpf) in wildtype and 3 additional conditions (miR-430 inhibition, RNApol II inhibition and CNOT7 inhibition) at 6 hpf. All experiments are performed as triplicates

Description
Allyl alcohol is a highly toxic industrial chemical used as a synthetic substrate, and as an herbicide in agriculture. It is evident that Allyl alcohol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) to the highly toxic Acrolein. Acrolein is a simple unsaturated aldehyde, ubiquitous environmental pollutant, endogenous metabolite and major constituent of cigarette smoke. Acrolein is highly electrophilic in nature and has strong reactivity towards nucleophiles present in cell such as amino acids, proteins and DNA.

Description
Valproic acid (VA) is a small-chain branched fatty acid, widely used as anticonvulsant, and mood stabilizer to treat psychiatric illness. Valproic acid is also known to inhibit the histone deacetylases (HDACs), which makes it as a potent antitumor agent in alone or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs. Beside its conventional activities, valproic acid reported to have much broader, complicated effects and affect many complex physiological processes. However the molecular mechanisms of valproic acid are unclear.

Description
KP1019 (trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole) ruthenate(III)]) is a ruthenium complex that exhibited anti-cancer activity in several in vitro and in vivo studies. KP1019 was even efficient against cancer cells that were resistant to other chemotherapeutic agents and thus emerged as a promising anti-cancer drug without dose-limiting cytotoxicity. However, the molecular mechanisms of its action are elusive.
Publication Title
A systematic assessment of chemical, genetic, and epigenetic factors influencing the activity of anticancer drug KP1019 (FFC14A).

Description
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sen1 is a 252-kDa, nuclear superfamily-1 RNA/DNA helicase that encoded by an essential gene SEN1 (Senataxin). It is an important component of the Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p (NRD1) complex that regulates the transcriptional termination of most non-coding and some coding transcripts at RNA polymerase pause sites. Sen1 specifically interacts with Rnt1p (RNase III), an endoribonuclease, and with Rpb1p (Rpo21p), a subunit of RNA polymerase II, through its N-terminal domain (NTD), which is a critical element of the RNA-processing machinery. Moreover, mutations in the N-terminal tail of SETX, a human ortholog of yeast Senataxin (Sen1) reported in neurological disorders.

Sen1, the homolog of human Senataxin, is critical for cell survival through regulation of redox homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and the TOR pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Description
We report here that human mitochondria contain small RNA including microRNA, piRNA, tRNA, rRNA, and RNA repeats. Mitochondria from human cells were purified and RNA isolated. Small RNAs were purified, library generated and analyzed by Illumina Hiseq 2000 system. The sequencing generated 19.5 and 17.7 million reads from HEK-293 and HeLa respectively. 91% and 97% sequences of HEK293 and HeLa respectively were annotated to various classes of small RNA. The total percentage of 4.21 and 2.58 sequences from HEK293 and HeLa respectively was found to be of miRNA. Further, we found only 1.2 % sequences from both the libraries aligned to mitochondrial genome. These results suggest that there is efficient transport of nuclear encoded small RNA to mitochondria. The small RNA in mitochondria may regulate critical cellular processes. Overall design: Analyzing the smallRNA in human mitochondria from two human cell lines (HEK-293 and HeLa).

Description
microRNAs (miRNAs) are typically generated as ~22-nucleotide double-stranded RNAs via processing of precursor hairpins by the RNase III enzyme Dicer, after which they are loaded into Argonaute (Ago) proteins to form RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, the biogenesis of miR-451, an erythropoietic miRNA conserved in vertebrates, does not require Dicer processing. Instead, the short pre-miR-451 precursor hairpin is directly loaded into Ago, followed by cleavage of the 3'' arm and trimming of the 3'' end to the mature length by PARN. Here we show the in vivo activity of miR-430 Ago2-hairpin, a canonical microRNA engineered to fit the structure of miR-451 and hence become Ago2-dependent. Moreover, we test a modified miR-430 Ago2-haipin with 3x phoshorothioate bonds that impairs trimmng. Surprisingly, our data show that trimming of Ago-cleaved pre-miRNAs is not essential for target silencing, indicating that RISC is functional with miRNAs longer than 22-nucleotides. Overall design: Rescue of MZdicer zebrafish mutant with the injection of trimmable and nontrimmable miR-430 Ago2 hairpins: Transcriptome of wild type, MZdicer mutant, and MZdicer mutant micoinjected with miR-430 duplex, miR-430 (Ago2-haripin), miR-430 (Ago2-haripin 3xPhosphorothioate)
