Project description:To explore potential impact of Aldh1a1 deficiency in the retinoic acid signaling in the lung, gene expression levels were compared between wildtype and Aldh1a1 deficient lung tissues. The expression levels of retinoic acid responsive genes were very similar between wildtype and Aldh1a1 deficient lungs, suggesting that Aldh1a1 deficiency has minimal impact on retinoic acid signaling.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse lung tumors comparing Dnmt3a KO/K-ras G12D mutant with Dnmt3a WT/K-ras G12D mutant. The goal is to search for the difference of mRNA abundance between Dnmt3a KO and WT tumors. Two-condition experiment, KO vs. WT tissure. Biological replicates: 12.

Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1 are highly expressed in non small cell cell lung cancer. Neither the mechanism nor the biological significance for such over expression have been studied. We used microarrays to analyze changes in A549 lung cancer cell line in which ALDH activity was reduced using lentiviral mediated expression of siRNA against both isozymes (Lenti 1+3) Experiment Overall Design: A549 lung cancer cell lines were transduced with lentiviral vectors containing specific siRNA sequences against ALDH1A1, ALDH3A1, both vectors (Lenti 1+3 cells), and against the green flourescent protein (GFP) gene (GFP cells, used as control).
Project description:WT mice and claudin 4 KO mice were exposed to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) for 2 hours. We found that in some Cldn4 KO mice, injury was similar to WT, while in others, injury was higher, as assessed by amount of protein leak into broncho-alveolar lavage fluid. We performed RNAseq to find which genes were responsible for higher injury in Cldn4 KO mice. WT mice and claudin 4 KO mice were exposed to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) for 2 hours. RNA were extracted from whole lungs and RNA sequencing was performed. The samples are (all in duplicates): WT no VILI, Cldn4 KO no VILI, WT VILI, Cldn4 KO VILI with similar injury to WT (Cldn4 KOlow), and Cldn4 KO VILI with higher injury than WT (Cldn4 KOhigh)
Project description:Gene Expression in d5 wound-edge tissues of MFG-E8 WT and MFG-E8 KO mice Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 array was used to study the gene expression in d5 wound-edge tissues of MFG-E8 WT and MFG-E8 KO mice

Project description:Total RNA was extracted from WT or KO liver tumor tissues. RNA samples were analyzed by RNA sequencing based on the manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform was used to sequence the RNA samples for the subsequent generation of raw data. KEGG pathway and GSEA enrichment analysis were used for functional pathway analysis.
