Project description:DNA methylation patterns are set up in a relatively fixed programmed manner during normal embryonic development and are then stably maintained. Using genome-wide analysis, we have discovered a postnatal pathway involving gender-specific demethylation that occurs exclusively in the male liver. This demodification is programmed to take place at tissue-specific enhancer sequences, and our data show that the methylation state at these loci is associated with and appears to play a role in the transcriptional regulation of nearby genes. This process is mediated by the secretion of testosterone at the time of sexual maturity, but the resulting methylation profile is stable and therefore can serve as an epigenetic memory even in the absence of this inducer. These findings add a new dimension to our understanding of the role of DNA methylation in vivo and provide the foundations for deciphering how environment can impact on the epigenetic regulation of genes, in general. DNA methylation profile of male and female mouse and Human tissues was generated using the RRBS protocol followed by deep sequncing. Whole genome DNA methylation profile using deep sequencing was genereted for male and female mouse tissues. RNAseq was performed on male and female mouse tissues.

Project description:Global DNA demethylation is an integral part of reprogramming processes in vivo and in vitro, but whether it occurs in the derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is not known. Here we show that iPSC reprogramming involves both global and targeted demethylation, which are separable mechanistically and by their biological outcomes. Cells at intermediate-late stages of reprogramming undergo transient genome-wide demethylation, which is more pronounced in female cells. Global demethylation requires AID-mediated downregulation of UHRF1 protein and abolishing demethylation leaves thousands of hypermethylated regions in the iPSCs genome. Independently of AID and global demethylation, regulatory regions, particularly ESC enhancers and super-enhancers, are specifically targeted for hypomethylation in association with transcription of the pluripotency network. Our results show that global and targeted DNA demethylation are conserved and distinct reprogramming processes, presumably because of their respective roles in epigenetic memory erasure and in the establishment of cell identity.

Project description:This study aims at giving an insight on gene expression in CCAM. Keywords: disease state analysis A total of 14 microarrays were completed. Samples were divided into four groups: Fetal CCAM samples (n=4), fetal control samples (n=2), post-natal CCAM samples (n=5), post-natal control samples (n=3)

Project description:We have compared the gene expression profile of post-natal 1 day and 7 day rat Achilles tendons. Post-natal 1 day and 7 day rat Achilles tendons were collected. Each sample contains at least two individuals. Total RNA was extracted and fragmented biotin-tagged cRNA was hybridized to Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array.

Project description:Although there have been studies conducted on cornea and retina growth and development, postnatal gene expression studies on sclera growth during postnatal growth has not been well characterised. Given that the mouse genome has 85% homology to the human genome and has been completely sequenced, mouse model for the study of ocular growth has advantages over other animal models. Thus, we aimed to study the biology and genetics behind sclera growth during post-natal development in Balb/cJ mice as a means to understand genetic changes that cause scleral growth and development during post-natal eye development The purpose of this study was to identify the genes underlying the development of mouse sclera post-natal growth of the posterior chamber of the eye using microarray

Project description:The liver is a multifunctional organ, which undergoes rapid changes during the developmental period and relies on tightly-regulated gene expression. Little is known regarding the complex expression patterns of mRNAs during the early stages of human liver development in comparison to post-natal livers. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression during liver development following specification, at the stage of proliferation and differentiation when compared to post-natal livers, and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and downregulated genes during this process.

Project description:During the studies of post-natal lung development in the laboratory C57BL/6 mouse, broad spectrums of interventions are applied by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections. We explored whether injection of saline, tamoxifen, “scrambled” antagomiRs (to control studies that target microRNA with antagomiRs), migloyl or water, in well-established protocols, had any impact on the post‑natal gene expression in mouse lungs.
