Project description:Whole livers were collected from mice at the age of day 15 (P15). Total RNA was purified using Isogen. Gene expression was measured in livers at the age of 15 days (P15).
Project description:To identify Nrf1-dependent and Nrf2-dependent genes in the liver, we examined the gene expression profiles of Nrf1 Alb-CKO, Nrf2 knockout and Keap1 knockdown mouse livers by microarray analyses. Total RNAs from Nrf1dN/-::Alb-Cre, Nrf1dN/+, Nrf2-/-, Nrf2+/+, Keap1KD/- and Keap1KD/+ mouse livers were used for the microarray analyses.
Project description:Expression array analysis of mice livers with conditional deletion of autophagy related protein 7 (Atg7). Whole RNA from mice livers of 2 month old control (Atg7 FF), Olig1-CRE:Atg7 FF (conditional deletion in hepatocytes) and Alb-CRE:Atg7 FF (conditional deletion in hepatocytes/cholangiocytes) were analyzed. The results provide insight into the gene expression profile and role of autophagy in hepatocytes or hepatocytes/cholangiocytes in hepatic growth regulation and hepatocarcinogenesis.
Project description:Whole livers were collected from rats treated with or without CDDO-Im. Total RNA was purified using Sepazol-RNA I Super G. Gene expression was measured in livers.
Project description:To identify Nrf1-dependent and Nrf2-dependent genes in the liver, we examined the gene expression profiles of Nrf1 Alb-CKO, Nrf2 knockout and Keap1 knockdown mouse livers by microarray analyses.
Project description:Autophagy deficiency caused by conditional knockout of Atg7 results in severe hepatitis accompanied by abundant accumulation of p62. p62 stablizes Nrf2 by disrupting the association between Keap1 and Nrf2. To understand the pathogenesis of hepatitis under the autophagy deficiency, we examined gene expression profiles of livers from Atg7-null, Nrf2-null and Atg7-Nrf2 double mutant mice. Eight week old Atg7F/F:Mx1-Cre mice and Atg7F/F:Mx1-Cre:Nrf2-/- together with control mice were injected with pIpC. At 4 weeks after pIpC injection, total RNAs were purified from each mouse liver.
