Project description:These arrays contain data from gonodal adipose tissue of aP2-Pex5 -/- male mice 4 arrays from gonadal adipose tissue from control mice (Swiss background) are compared with 4 arrays from gonadal adipose tissue of aP2-Pex5 knockout mice. The latter lack functional peroxisomes in adipose tissue.
Project description:The goal of this study is to determine the effects of adipose-specific Glut4 overexpression or knockout on changes in adipose tissue global gene expression Three mice from each of four genotypes were studied using a total of 12 microarray chips: aP2-Cre transgenic mice (controls for adipose-Glut4-/- mice), adipose-Glut4-/- mice; FVB mice (littermate controls for adipose-GLUT4-Tg mice) and adipose-GLUT4-Tg mice with Glut4 transgenically overexpressed under the control of the aP2 promoter. Total RNA from perigonadal adipose tissue was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit from Qiagen. Affymetrix gene chip hybridization and analysis were performed at the Genomics Core Facility of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Project description:Identifying gene expression changes in adipose tissue of lipodystrophic aP2-nSREBP1c trangenic mice Experiment Overall Design: RNA from epididymal white adipose pads of three 10-week-old aP2-nSREBP1c transgenic males and three litter-matched WT controls was analyzed by MOE430v2.0 GeneChip⢠arrays, one mouse per array.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profile during WAT -beige transition by treatment of beta adrenergic receptor agonist . Stromal vascular fractions (SVF) from mice (n = 3/group) that received vehicle or beta3 adrenergic receptor agonist, CL, treatment were served for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We are trying to find out angiogenic factors genes dynamics during white adipose tissues (WAT) - beige transition.
