Project description:We analyzed KDM1A (LSD1) occupancy in the Xi during somatic cell reprogramming of female mouse cells. We use MEFs from hybrid embryos by crossing male Mus spretus and female Mus musculus domesticus C57BL/6J to distiguish genome DNA from the Xi. We found a possible physical and/or functional regulation of KDM1A during the X chromosome reactivation in the intiation site on the Xi.
Project description:We compared gene expression differences in the polytypic species complex Mus musculus (Mus musculus musculus, Mus musculus domesticus, Mus musculus castaneus and Mus musculus ssp) with that of Mus spretus via oligonucleotide microarrays representing more than 20,000 genes. Analysis of the results by two way ANOVA statistics suggests that the most genes with significant differences in expression levels among the subspecies are found in liver and kidney and the least in testis. This picture is different when one compares with Mus spretus, where the largest number of differences is found in testis. Keywords: multi-species comparison
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of testicular cells in VRK1+/+ and VRK1-/- Mus musculus Gene expression in whole testicular cells from wild type (VRK1+/+) and VRK1-/- mutant Mus musculus, respectively, was measured. Four independent experiment for wild type and mutant, respectively, were performed.
Project description:To study effect of VRK1 deletion on spermatogenesis of the mouse, transciptomic analysis of genes in postnatal 8-day testicular cells of wild type and VRK1-deficient Mus musculus was performed. Gene expression in testes from from wild type and VRK1-deficient mutant Mus musculus, respectively, was measured. Four independent experiments for wild type and mutant, respectively, were performed.
Project description:We measured the impact of flotillin on the solubility of proteins after heat shock in Staphylococcus aureus, by measuring the effects of a knockout mutant.
Project description:LSD1 is a demethylase of histone modification H3k4me1 and H3K4me2. We have developed novel LSD1 inhibitors (NCD25 and NCD38) and found that they are effective to myelodysplastic syndromes and leukemia cells. To understand what mechanisms are affected by these compounds, we employed gene expression profiling analyses. Gene expression profiling data were obtained from HEL, MDS-L, or CMK11-5 cells treated with DMSO (control), NCD25, or NCD38 and compared each other. Expression of eleven transcriptional factors (GFI1, CEBPA, SPI1, MNDA, TAL1, GATA1, NFE2, RXRA, HOXA9, GATA2, and PBX1) was reconfirmed by q-PCR with the same samples. Gene expression of leukemia cells was measured after 48 hours incubation with or without LSD1 inhibitors. Five independent experiments were performed using 3 cell lines (HEL, MDS-L and CMK11-5) and 2 drugs (NCD38 and NCD25).
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of partially degraded and fragmented RNA samples from mus musculus gut Global gene expression profiling has shown the gut transcripts changes through administration of aspirin while probiotics strain administration beforehand attenuates the effect more than teprenone.
Project description:We compared gene expression differences in the polytypic species complex Mus musculus (Mus musculus musculus, Mus musculus domesticus, Mus musculus castaneus and Mus musculus ssp) with that of Mus spretus via oligonucleotide microarrays representing more than 20,000 genes. Analysis of the results by two way ANOVA statistics suggests that the most genes with significant differences in expression levels among the subspecies are found in liver and kidney and the least in testis. This picture is different when one compares with Mus spretus, where the largest number of differences is found in testis. The design we employed is a reference design. All tissues were hybridized against a pool of that same tissue from 9 C57BL6 mice. All mice were roughly 12 weeks of age. To control for biological variation, we have used several individual males from each sub-species. RNA was isolated from three different organs, namely brain, liver/kidney and testis.
