Project description:We report ChIP-Seq data for C/EBPa in livers of mice with liver-specific KO (LSKO) of Trib1 as compared to WT controls, or in livers of mice overexpressing C/EBPa via adeno-associated virus (AAV) as compared to controls.
Project description:We report ChIP-Seq data for C/EBPa in livers of mice with liver-specific KO (LSKO) of Trib1 as compared to WT controls, or in livers of mice overexpressing C/EBPa via adeno-associated virus (AAV) as compared to controls. 8-10 week old Trib1 flox/flox mice treated with AAV_Null (WT) or AAV_Cre (LSKO); 8-10 week old C57B/6 WT mice treated with AAV_Null or AAV_Cebpa.
Project description:To identify genes regulated by FXR in mouse liver, we compared gene expression profiles in livers of FXR+/+ (wt) and liver-specific FXR KO (lKO) mice
Project description:The ketogenic diet has been successful in promoting weight loss among patients that have struggled with weight gain. This is due to the cellular switch in metabolism that utilizes liver-derived ketone bodies for the primary energy source rather than glucose. Fatty acid transport protein 2 (FATP2) is highly expressed in liver, small intestine, and kidney where it functions in both the transport of exogenous long chain fatty acids (LCFA) and in the activation to CoA thioesters of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA). We have completed a multi-omic study of FATP2-null (Fatp2-/-) mice maintained on a ketogenic diet (KD) or paired control diet (CD), with and without a 24-hour fast (KD-fasted and CD-fasted) to address the impact of deleting FATP2 under high-stress conditions. Control (wt/wt) and Fatp2-/- mice were maintained on their respective diets for 4-weeks. Afterwards, half the population was sacrificed while the remaining were fasted for 24-hours prior to sacrifice. We then performed paired-end RNA-sequencing on the whole liver tissue to investigate differential gene expression. The differentially expressed genes mapped to ontologies such as the metabolism of amino acids and derivatives, fatty acid metabolism, protein localization, and components of the immune system’s complement cascade, and were supported by the proteome and histological staining.
