Project description:Schnurri-2 (Shn-2), an NF-kappa B site-binding protein, tightly binds to the enhancers of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes and inflammatory cytokines, which have been shown to harbor common variant single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with schizophrenia. Shn-2 knockout mice show behavioral abnormalities that strongly resemble those of schizophrenics. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of prefrontal cortices from Shn-2 knockout and wild-type control mice. Prefrontal cortex RNA isolated from six Shn-2 knockout and six control wild-type mice were compared.

Project description:This study examined the proteome profile in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, and striatum of APPswe/PS1dE9 transgenic mice (APP/PS1) model of Alzheimer’s disease compared to wild-type mice. The effect of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF), a mixture of vitamin E analogs derived from palm oil supplementation on the proteome profile of APP/PS1 mice hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, and striatum was also investigated. The analysis was performed using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive HF Orbitrap mass spectrometry. This study was in hoped to understand the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease at proteome level, and pre-emptive activity of TRF to combat the disease.
Project description:The gene expression patterns in the medial prefrontal cortex of Camk2a+/- mice and wild-type mice were examined using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays.
Project description:The gene expression patterns in the medial prefrontal cortex of wild-type mice (2W and 12W) were examined using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays.
Project description:The gene expression patterns in the medial prefrontal cortex of wild-type mice treated with fluoxetine (15 mg/kg/day for 3 weeks) or vehicle were examined using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays.
Project description:To identify R-SDS-induced changes in gene expression profiles in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) microglia, we performed transcriptome analysis in mPFC and NAc microglia without or with R-SDS. Based on our observation that TLR2/TLR4 mediate R-SDS-induced activation of mPFC microglia, we performed the analysis in wild-type (WT) mice and TLR2/TLR4-double knockout (TLR-DKO) mice.
