Project description:Add1 Null mice on the C57BL/6J background develop hydrocephalus that may be due to gene expression changes in the choroid plexus. We used microarrays to detail choroid plexi gene expression prior to the manifestation of hydrocephalus.
Project description:Add1 Null mice on the C57BL/6J background develop hydrocephalus that may be due to gene expression changes in the choroid plexus. We used microarrays to detail choroid plexi gene expression prior to the manifestation of hydrocephalus. Choroid plexi from the four ventricle were dissected out, for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays, from male Add1 wildtype, heterozygous and null mice at three weeks of age. Five mice were selected for each genotype to assess gene expression prior to the development of hydrocephalus.
Project description:Atoh1-Cre; Myc/Myc mice developed choroid plexus papilloma and Atoh1-Cre; Myc/Myc; p53fl/fl mice developed choroid plexus carcinoma. By studying the gene expression profiles of normal choroid plexus, choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma in mice, we aim to gain a better understanding of the biology of choroid plexus tumors
Project description:Arylsulfatase B (ARSB; N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase) null mouse hepatic gene expression was compared with control C57BL/6J mice To determine if there were differences in gene expression between ARSB null mice and matched control mice. ARSB is the enzyme that removes 4-sulfate groups from chondroitin 4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate and thereby regulates their degradation. comparison between ARSB-null mice on C57BL/6J background and control C57BL/6J mice matched for age and gender
