Project description:Liver transcriptome profiling of liver specific miR-122 knockout (miR-122loxP/loxP Alb-Cre) and control (miR-122loxP/loxP) male mice. Expression profile of several hundred mRNAs that include miR-122 targets were altered in miR-122 KO livers. Loss of miR-122 in the germ line resulted in significant changes in hepatic gene expression profile. Among the upregulated genes many are direct targets of miR-122 GSM517838-GSM517847: Liver transcriptome profiling of liver specific miR-122 knockout and control male mice. Total liver RNA from 8 week old five control and five liver-specific miR-122 knock out male mice (C57/BL6J background) GSM791601-GSM791604: Liver transcriptome profiling of germ-line miR-122 knockout and control male mice. Liver RNA from 5 week old control (floxed) and miR-122KO mice were analyzed by mouse whole transcriptome profiling.
Project description:We used Adamts12−/− and wild-type mice generated and genotyped by El Hour et al. 2010 (PMID: 20208563). eight-week-old females were treated by intraperitoneal injections of CCl4 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) diluted at 3% v/v in olive oil. A single dose of CCl4 0.3 ml/kg of mouse body weight was administered (acute treatment) and mice were sacrificed after 4h, 12h, 24h or 7 days. Control mice were treated with the vehicle (olive oil). Liver samples were collected, weighed and treated as previously described (Kesteloot et al. 2007, PMID: 17929299). We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from liver samples of wild-type or Adamts12_KO mice at different time points after CCl4 (or vehicle) injection.
Project description:Mice wild type or knocked-out for the MyD88 gene specifically in liver, were recruited for this expression profiling experiment. Each group of mice (WT versus LKO) were fed with a control diet or a high fat diet. Then mice were sacrificed and liver samples form were processed for RNA extraction. Total liver RNA of each sample was then pooled with those of the same group and treatment for microarray hybridization.
