Abstrakt wystąpienia:
Research into cellular metabolism is proving to be as important as genetics in fully understanding the cellular and
molecular basis for conditions such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, aging, metabolic disorders. During the past three years, over 80
research labs, including CORE facilities, have benefited from the use of Biolog’s PM technology for their metabolism studies.
Phenotype MicroArray (PM) technology is based on the use of Biolog’s pre-loaded 96-well microplates. The technology
allows a biologist to quickly and easily establish a cell’s overall metabolic phenotype in a single experiment, providing a
comprehensive overview of cell physiology and metabolic pathway activities in hundreds of pathways in real time. Its phenomic
information is complementary to both genomic and proteomic/mass-spec analysis and often more easy to interpret and more useful.
Importantly, the PM technology platform is applicable to a wide range of cells including bacterial, fungal, or animal. It can
be used for (1) analyzing normal/mutant cells to determine their metabolic differences, (2) studying genetic/epigenetic control over
metabolism, (3) understanding the interplay of environment and hormonal signals on cell metabolism, (4) optimizing cell selection
and cell culture conditions to generate stable and enhanced bioassay performance, (5) looking at the effects of drugs and other
chemicals on cells, including mitochondria toxicity. Additionally, the PM assay technology can provide critical information for
studies on B and T cells, and stem cell/progenitor-cell differentiation.
Because of its many diverse uses, as well as its inherent simplicity, PM technology is ideally suited for use by individual
labs, or by a Core Facility providing specialized services.
Specific examples and discoveries will be presented to illustrate the many uses of PM technology.
