Project description:FoxJ1 dependent gene expression is required for establishment of ependymal cells in the postnatal brain. This data set compares gene expression profiles of wildtype and FoxJ1 null microdissected dissected tissues at multiple postnatal time points. We used microarrays to detail the FoxJ1-dependent programme of gene expression underlying ependymal cell differentiation in the mouse brain.
Project description:The spinal cord neural stem cell potential is contained within the ependymal cells lining the central canal. Ependymal cells are, however, heterogeneous and we know little about what this reflects. To gain new insights into ependymal cell heterogeneity, we microdissected the ependymal cell layer from the thoracic spinal cord of 4 FOXJ1-EGFP transgenic mice (2.5-to-3-month old). After after dissociating the tissue into a cell suspension, we sorted single GFP-positive ependymal cells into lysis plates. cDNA synthesis was performed using Smart-seq2 technology.
Project description:The neocortex and striatum were harvested from conditional Met null male mice (Metfx/fx/nestincre) and wild type littermates at postnatal day 14. Synaptosomes were generated and prepared from each region for quantitative proteomic analyses using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ).
Project description:Scn1b null mice are a model of a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy called Dravet Syndrome (DS). The goal of this study was to identify changes in gene expression between Scn1b wild-type and Scn1b null mice before seizure onset (postnatal day 10) in cortical layer VI, a region known to have differences in excitability in Scn1b null mice. RNA-Seq identified 21 genes, primarily extracellular matrix genes, which were differentially expressed between the two genotypes.
Project description:We identified that Foxj1 is degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system. Foxj1 protein is stabilized by the cullin-RING ligase inhibitor MLN4924. We evaluated global changes to ependymal cell culture gene expression profiles during MLN4924 treatment.
Project description:The renal clearance of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) increased in Abcb4 null mice compared with wild type mice, especially in male Abcb4 null mice. We evaluated the expression changes of transporters in kidney of male Abcb4 null mice by using microarray to reveal the candidate transporters of PFOA.
Project description:Scn1b null mice are a model of a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy called Dravet Syndrome (DS). The goal of this study was to identify changes in gene expression between Scn1b wild-type and Scn1b null mice before seizure onset (postnatal day 10)
Project description:The global proteome profiles of wild type (wt) and Prss55-null mice in sperm were compared employing data independent acquisition (DIA) technology
Project description:The global proteome profiles of wild type (wt) and Prss37-null mice in testis were compared employing data independent acquisition (DIA) technology
