Project description:To analyze the function of retinoic acid in the male germ cell differentiation, we performed expression microarray analysis of the Cyp26b1-/- male gonads from E12.5 to E15.5. Biological duplicates were examined at each stage and genotype for each experiment.
Project description:To identify germ cell- and somatic cell-specific gene expression profiles, we performed expression microarray analysis of the mouse gonads of the Nanos3+/-, Nanos3-/- female and male embryos from E12.5 to E15.5. Biological duplicates were examined at each stage, genotype, and sex for each experiment.
Project description:To analyze the gene expression profiles of the developing embryonic male gonad, we performed expression microarray analysis of the wild type male gonads from E12.5 to E15.5. Biological duplicates were examined at each stage for each experiment.
Project description:To analyze the function of retinoic acid and Stra8 in the male germ cell differentiation, we performed expression microarray analysis of the Cyp26b1-/-/Stra8-/- male gonads at E14.5. Biological duplicates were examined at each genotype for each experiment.
Project description:To examine whether the meiosis was solo factor responsible for the disruption of the male gonocyte differenitiation in the Nanos2-/- male germ cells, we deleted Stra8 function from Nanos2-null background and performed expression microarray analysis of the Nanos2+/-/Stra8+/- , Nanos2-/-/Stra8+/-, and Nanos2-/-/Stra8-/- male emnbryonic gonads at E14.5. Biological duplicates were examined at each stage, genotype, and sex for each experiment.
Project description:To elucidate the function of NANOS2 to regulate the transcriptome in embryonic male germ cells, we performed expression microarray analysis of the embyornic gonads of the Nanos2+/-, Nanos2-/- male and wild type female from E12.5 to E15.5. The Nanos2+/- and Nanos2-/- female gonads at E15.5 were analyzed as a negative control. Biological duplicates were examined at each stage, genotype, and sex for each experiment.
Project description:To identify Nanos2-associated mRNAs, we performed microarray analysis of mRNAs coprecipitated with FLAG-tagged NANOS2 with male gonad from Tg-Nanos2 enhancer-3xFLAG-Nanos2-3'UTR at E14.5. Biological duplicates were examined at each sample.
Project description:To investigate the gene expression regualted by MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signaling in Sertoli cells, we cultured primary Seroli cells and treated bFGF and PD0325901, which are activator and inhibitor of the signaling, respectively. Isolated primary Sertoli cells were incubated with 20ng bFGF, 10uM PD0325901 or vehicle for 24 hours and then gene expression changes were measured with microarray analysis
Project description:To identifiy stage-dependent genes in Sertoli cells, we performed expression microarray analysis of the adult whole testes, cultured primary Sertoli cells, Sertoli cells directly isolated from wild-type and Nanos3 (germ-less) testes,seminiferous tubules at stages I-III, IV-VI, VII-VIII and IX-XII. Next to examine the relationship between stage-dependent gene expression change and retinoic acid signaling, we performed expression microarray analysis of the cultured primary Sertoli cells treated with retinoic acid and stage-specific seminiferous tubules injected with lentivirus containing Venus or dominat negative form of RARa, a dominant receptor for retinoic acid in Sertoli cells. Biological duplicates were examined at each sample
