Project description:RNA-seq was carried out on prostate tumors from mice with prostate-conditional PTEN knockout with and without prostate-conditional FOXP1-SHQ1 locus deletion (12 month old PTEN-flox/flox Pb-Cre4 mice and FOXP1-SHQ1-flox/flox PTEN-flox/flox Pb-Cre4 mice )
Project description:Gene expression analysis of 2-month-old APP/APLP2 double-conditional Knockout (N-dCKO) mice and littermate APLP2 knockout controls, APP knockout and wildtype controls. Mouse hippocampus were dissected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:<p>The ATPase Family AAA Domain Containing 3A (ATAD3A), is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein conserved in metazoans. ATAD3A has been associated with several mitochondrial functions, including nucleoid organization, cholesterol metabolism, and mitochondrial translation. To address its primary role, we generated a neuronal-specific conditional knockout (Atad3 nKO) mouse model, which developed a severe encephalopathy by 5 months of age. Pre-symptomatic mice showed aberrant mitochondrial cristae morphogenesis in the cortex as early as 2 months. Using a multi-omics approach in the CNS of 2-to-3-month-old mice, we found early alterations in the organelle membrane structure. We also show that human ATAD3A associates with different components of the inner membrane, including OXPHOS complex I, Letm1, and prohibitin complexes. Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) shows that ATAD3A is regularly distributed along the inner mitochondrial membrane, suggesting a critical structural role in inner mitochondrial membrane and its organization, most likely in an ATPase-dependent manner.</p>
Project description:Conditional knockout of Fbxo45 in alveolar epithelial type II cells (AT2) in mice (cKO) resulted in spontaneous lung adenocarcinoma. To investigate why deletion of Fbxo45 in AT2 leads to lung adenocarcinoma. We isolated primary AT2 cells from 6-month-old WT, cKO mice for high-throughput RNA-sequencing analysis. (WT=2, cKO=2)
