Project description:APCmin/+ mice develop spontaneous gastrointestinal polyposis due to a dominantly inhereited germline loss-of-function mutation in the tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). Changes in intestinal immune activity have been documented to occur prior to the development of fulminate polyposis. Such changes are thought to contribute to disease development. We used microarrays to describe the changing intestinal transcriptional landscape in APCmin/+ mice. Whole transcriptome profiling from polypotic and nonpolypotic intestinal sections of APC/min+ mice were examined in the early stages of disease, and compared to normal intestinal sections from littermate matched wildtype B6 mice. Nonpolypotic (wildtype and APCmin/+) and Polypotic (APCmin/+) sections of terminal ileum were identified by visual inspection, and subsequently selected for RNA isolation and hydridzation to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Arrays. Interference from bacterial RNA was selected against using a probeset enriched in oligos extending into 3’-poly-A tails.

Project description:Pairwise comparison of ileum gene expression in pools (n=14) of wildtype 4 week old male Vs NaS1-/- knockout mice. Keywords: Genetic modification
Project description:Total RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of the terminal ileum of day 6 Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) administered Il17rafl/fl;Atoh1-cre+ mice and littermate cre- mice was performed.
Project description:Changes in gene expression profile of intestinal (ILEUM) Tumors from APCmin/+/VP16LXRa vs APCmin/+/VP16. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that LXRa overexpression influence cancer growth modulating lipid metabolism in cancer cells. Results provide the information that LXRa induces genes encoding proteins able to regulate cholesterol efflux. Total RNA obtained from Ileum tumors from APCmin/+/VP16LXRa mice was compared to total RNA extracted from APCmin/+/VP16 mice.
Project description:Eight-week-old C57BL/6 or APCmin/+ mice were fed a high-fat diet ad libitum and randomly divided into four groups:(1)Control group (wild-type C57BL/6 mice), (2)Model group (APCmin/+ mice), (3)WMW-treated group (APCmin/+ mice receiving Wumei Pill at 17 g/kg/day via oral gavage), and (4)BBR group (APCmin/+ mice administered berberine at 100 mg/kg/day via oral gavage) Following the 10-week intervention, colorectal tissues were collected and subjected to 4D label-free quantitative proteomics analysis to investigate the regulatory effects of WMW on protein expression profiles in APCmin/+ mice.
Project description:Dual oxidases play a role in innate host defense at barrier epithelia. We examined the effect of loss of dual oxidase function (duoxa-/-) on gene expression in the mouse terminal ileum at homeostasis. To control for cage/litter effects, duoxa-/- were cohoused with wild type littermate controls.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterise iPSC-derived human intestinal epithelial organoids (iPSCo) by comparing these cultures with primary purified intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Intestinal epithelial organoid (IEO) cultures were derived from at least three different lines of iPSCs, RNA was extracted and gene expression was profiled using RNA-sequencing. We compared these profiles with datasets we have previously derived from purified IEC from mature terminal ileum (TI) and sigmoid colon (SC) as well as human fetal proximal gut (FPG) and fetal distal gut (FDG).
Project description:Analysis of metabolic pathway gene expression. The hypothesis tested in the present study is to assess mRNA level changes in metabolic genes in intestinal tumors from APCmin mice overexpressing PGC-1β specifically in the intestine. Total RNA obtained from ileum tumor samples from iPGC-1β/APCmin mice was compared to the total RNA extracted from FVBN/APCmin mice.
Project description:We processed RNA-sequencing on splenic CD11b+ macrophages isolated from 10-week old Mettl3f/f-LysM-Cre KO and littermate WT mice. NO_4-1, NO_4-2 are Mettl3f/f-LysM-Cre KO. NO_5-2, NO_5-3 are WT littermate controls.
