Project description:Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) from Nedd8(flox/flox) mice or Nedd8(flox/flox; lyz2-cre) mice were stimulated with or without 100ng/ml LPS for 4 hours. The total RNA was prepared and subjected to microarray.
Project description:Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) from Uba3(flox/flox) mice or Uba3(flox/flox; lyz2-cre) mice were stimulated with or without 100ng/ml LPS for 4 hours. The total RNA was prepared and subjected to microarray.
Project description:ZBTB20 is an adjuvant-specific factor for long-term antibody responses. This factor is critical for maintaining long-lived plasma cells in alum-adjuvanted antibody responses but is dispensable for TLR ligand-adjuvanted responses. To identify the functions of ZBTB20 in long-lived plasma cells, we performed microarray analysis on Zbtb20-sufficient and Zbtb20-deficient polyclonal bone marrow plasma cells under the assumption that ZBTB20 regulates relevant targets in all long-lived plasma cells, irrespective of their mode of formation. Chimeras were generated using Zbtb20-sufficient (WT) or Zbtb20-deficient (TRAP) E14.5 fetal livers. 3-4 months after reconstitution, donor bone marrow B220low/-CD138+ cells (4 replicates per genotype) were purified via FACS for microarray. In total, 8 samples, 4 for each genotype, were included in this study.
Project description:We addressed the question of which protein kinases are expressed in cardiomyocytes. We assessed the changes during postnatal development, comparing profiles in rat neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes (NVMs) with adult ventricular cardiomyocytes (AVMs). Neonatal and adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes prepared according to established procedures (Marshall et al. PLoS ONE 2010 5(4):e10027; Fuller and Sugden, FEBs Lett. 1989 247:209-12; Rodrigues and Severson In Biochemical Techniques in the Heart (McNeill, J. H., Ed.) pp 101-115, CRC Press, New York.). mRNA expression profiles compared using Affymetrix rat genome 230 2.0 arrays.
