Project description:We evaluate tolvaptan induced liver injury using 8-10 weeks old, male mice. We used microarray to study gene expression changes in mouse liver after tolvaptan treatment.
Project description:F2 female mice were generated from a cross of two collaborative cross (CC) strains, CC011 x CC074. These mice were infected with Ebola virus and liver samples were prepared at day three after infection. RNA from the livers were prepared and subjected to RNAseq analysis. This data set can be combined with data from GSE165142, in which female mice from the same cross were infected with Ebola virus, and liver samples were prepared at day six after infection. Results: Variations in gene expression levels that may be perdictive for severity
Project description:The Collaborative Cross (CC) recombinant inbred panel was conceived as an ideal resource for mammalian system genetics. The pre-CC is a proof-of-concept experiment involving CC lines that have undergone at least five generations of inbreeding. Siblings from these lines were each involved in one of four distinct phenotyping arms, then genotyped on a high-density Affymetrix platform. These mice were initially described in the following reference. Genome Research 2011 Aug;21(8):1213-22 (PMID: 21406540). The goal of this specific project was to identify gene expression QTL using lung tissue from pre-CC mice that were sensitized and challenged with house dust mite allergen (namely, Der p 1). We analyzed whole lung RNAs from 138 pre-Collaborative Cross mice using Illumina WG6v2 arrays. Pre-Collaborative Cross (CC) mice are partially inbred strains created by intercrossing eight founder (parental) strains: 129S1/SvImJ, (129S1), A/J (AJ), C57BL/6J (B6), CAST/Ei (CAST), NOD/LtJ (NOD), NZO/H1LtJ (NZO), PWK/Ph (PWK), and WSB/Ei (WSB). Sister-brother mating in 220 families was done for 5-12 generations. One animal was sampled from 138 unique pre-CC strains, each designated by the prefix OR which denotes Oak Ridge National Laboratory as the original source of these mice. The parental strains are not part of this submission. Hybridizations were performed at the National Human Genome Research InstituteM-bM-^@M-^Ys Gene Expression Core Facility.The resulting data were initially processed using Illumina Genome Studio software and then imported into R (v2.9.2) for post-processing. Normalization was conducted using RMA with quantile normalization and log2 transformation.

The pre-CC is a proof-of-concept experiment involving CC lines that have undergone at least five generations of inbreeding. Siblings from these lines were each involved in one of four distinct phenotyping arms, then genotyped on a high-density Affymetrix platform. The genetic profile of these emerging lines reveals high diversity, balanced allele frequencies, and well-distributed recombination – all ideal qualities for a mapping panel. We have mapped white spot, a discrete trait; body weight, a highly polygenic complex trait; and more than 11,000 liver gene expression traits. These analyses provide a glimpse of the potential mapping power and resolution of the CC. The goal of this project was to identify eQTLs for genome-wide gene expression from liver tissue in pre-CC mice. Gene expression profiling from liver tissue from pre-CC males.

Sister-brother mating in 220 families was done for 4-11 generations. One animal was sampled from 157 pre-CC strain. Hybridizations were performed at the Gene Expression Core Facility at The Jackson Laboratory. Samples were divided in six batches of about 11 to 24 samples. Two batches were performed per day. Probe-level data was summarized by a custom CDF file based on Ensembl genes (NCBI 37, Ensembl 49; htttp://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu). The parental strains are not part of this submission.
Project description:To determine if genetic background can modulate severity of an infection, we studied the host responses to influenza infections in the eight genetically highly diverse Collaborative Cross (CC) founder mice.

Project description:We report transcriptomic profiling from bulk heart, kidney, and liver tissues for 58 strains of the inbred mouse Collaborative Cross (CC). Each strain is represented by a male/female pair. Reads were first aligned to the pooled transcriptomes of the eight founder strains of the CC and then total gene counts were quantified using the EMASE and GBRS software tools. Total read counts can be further normalized for use in differential gene expression analysis, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis, and integrative analyses with other -omic data sets measured on the same samples, including proteomics and phosphoproteomics.
