Project description:Our study aimed to dissect differentially expressed circRNAs in the hippocampus of wild type and APP/PS1 mice and demonstrated the important role of circRNA in Alzheimer's disease.
Project description:To explore the miRNAs associated with the memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease, we detected the miRNA profiles in the hippocampus of 6-month-old male APPswe/PS1dE9 (APP/PS1) mice and age-matched wild type C57BL/6 mice.
Project description:Wildtype mice at either 3 or 12 months old were subjected to intrahippocampal injection with sarkosyl insoluble brain extracts from either human control or Alzheimer's disease brain. Mice were incubated for 1, 3 or 5 months and then sacrificed. The hippocampus from one hemisphere was used to extract total RNA that was then subjected to polyA-selection and whole transcriptome sequencing. 3 and 12 month old animals were processed in seperate batches and comparisons between control and Alzheimer's disease injected animals from each timepoint were conducted
Project description:RNA-seq of micro RNAs (miRNAs) in Human prefrontal cortex to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between Huntington's Disease and control brain samples
Project description:To investigate the differences in microRNA expression profiles between fibrotic and normal livers, we performed microRNA microarrays for total RNA extracts isolated from mouse livers treated with carbontetrachloride (CCl4) or corn-oil for 10 weeks (n=3/group). MicroRNAs were considered to have significant differences in expression level when the expression difference showed more than two-fold change between the experimental and control groups at p<0.05. We found that 12 miRNAs were differentially expressed in CCl4-induced fibrotic liver.
