Project description:Investigation of gene expression level changes in pancreatic and liver tissues of diabetic db/db mice supplemented with selenate, compared to the diabetic db/db mice administered placebo. Fasting blood glucose levels increased continuously in diabetic db/db mice administered placebo (DMCtrl) but decreased gradually in selenate-supplemented diabetic db/db mice (DMSe) and approached normal values when the experiment ended. The size of pancreatic islets increased, causing the plasma insulin concentration to double in DMSe mice compared with that in DMCtrl mice. Two six chip studies using total RNA respectively isolated from pancreatic and liver tissues of three selenate-supplemented diabetic db/db mice, and three diabetic db/db mice administered placebo.

Project description:Dietary supplementation of grape polyphenols in diabetic db/db mice
Project description:Small RNA profiles in the liver of 9-week old wild type and diabetic db/db mice were measured to detect the differentially expressed small RNAs. Small RNA profiles of 9-week old wild type (WT) and diabetic db/db mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Genome Analyzer.
Project description:This study aimed at investigating the impact of chronic ingestion of sebacic acid (SA), a 10 carbons medium-chain dicarboxylic acid, on glycemic control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (db/db mice). Three groups of 15 mice were fed for 6 weeks either a chow diet (Ctrl), or a chow diet supplemented with 1.5% or 15% (SA1.5% and SA15% resp.) energy from SA. Fasting glycemia was measured once a week and HbA1c before and after supplementation. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at the end of the supplementation. Gene expression was determined by transcriptomic analysis on the liver of the Ctrl and SA15% groups. Results-After 42 days of supplementation, fasting glycemia and HbA1c were ~70% and ~25% lower in the SA15% group compared to other groups showing a beneficial effect of SA on hyperglycemia. During OGTT, blood glucose area under the curve (AUC) was reduced after SA15% compared to other groups. This effect was associated with a tendency for an improved insulin response. In the liver, Pck1 and FBP mRNA were statistically decreased in the SA15% compared to Ctrl suggesting a reduced hepatic glucose output induced by SA. Conclusions-Dietary supplementation of SA largely improves glycemic control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. This beneficial effect may be due (1) to a reduced hepatic glucose output resulting from transcriptional down regulation of key gluconeogenesis genes and (2) to an improved glucose induced-insulin secretion.

Project description:Hypothesis is that NAMPT overexpression alters liver transcriptomics in genetically diabetic, obese db/db mice. We treated db/db mice n = 4 with adenovirus encoding GFP or NAMPT by tail-vein delivery.
Project description:This dataset consists of single-cell RNA-seq (10X) data of pancreatic islets isolated from healthy and diabetic db/db mice that underwent VSG surgery, Sham surgery (Control) and Sham surgery + pair-feeding (Calorie-restriction control).
