Project description:Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) based glioma mouse model, which homozygously lacks Tp53 and Nf1, spontaneously developed gliomas at the post-natal 90-120 days. Tp53 and Nf1 are among the most frequently mutated genes in human glioma patients. Investigating the expression changes of genes induced by inactivation of Tp53, Nf1 and EZH2 can be a clue to clarify the mechanism of gliomagenesis. We examined the expressions of glioma cells in MADM mouse (n=2), EZH2 knocked-out MADM glioma tissues (n=3) and neural stem cell (NSC), astrocyte established with normal mice brains (n=2, respectively) and TP53 knocked-out astrocytes, derived from TP53 knocked-out mice (n=2). We used SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8×60K array slides (G4858A, Agilent Technologies).

Investigating the expression changes of genes induced by inactivation of Tp53 and Nf1 can be a clue to clarify the mechanism of gliomagenesis. We examined the expressions of glioma in MADM mouse at post-natal 150 days (n=3) and of normal brain in Tp53 and Nf1 wild type mouse at post-natal 150 days (n=2). We used SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8×60K array slides (G4858A, Agilent Technologies).

Investigating the changes of histone modifications induced by inactivation of Tp53 and Nf1 can be a clue to clarify the mechanism of gliomagenesis. We examined the histone modifications of glioma in MADM mouse at post-natal 150 days (n=3) and post-natal 8 days (n=1) and NSC, astrocyte derived from normal mice brain (both n=1) ). We used customized SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 2×400K array slides (G4858A, Agilent Technologies).
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff3 knock-out mouse model, 21 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain.

Project description:We utilized a genetic tool termed Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) to achieve a sporadic loss of heterozygosity of Brca1 & Trp53 in mouse mammary epithelial cells and concomitantly label them with GFP. This MADM-based mouse model initiated cancer with sparse GFP+ mutant cells and developed mammary tumors that resemble human disease at pathological, transcriptomic, and genomic levels. This dataset provides bulk RNA sequencing of twelve mammary tumors from MADM Brca1-Trp53 animals.
Project description:PURPOSE: To provide a detailed gene expression profile of the normal postnatal mouse cornea. METHODS: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on postnatal day (PN)9 and adult mouse (6 week) total corneas. The expression of selected genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: A total of 64,272 PN9 and 62,206 adult tags were sequenced. Mouse corneal transcriptomes are composed of at least 19,544 and 18,509 unique mRNAs, respectively. One third of the unique tags were expressed at both stages, whereas a third was identified exclusively in PN9 or adult corneas. Three hundred thirty-four PN9 and 339 adult tags were enriched more than fivefold over other published nonocular libraries. Abundant transcripts were associated with metabolic functions, redox activities, and barrier integrity. Three members of the Ly-6/uPAR family whose functions are unknown in the cornea constitute more than 1% of the total mRNA. Aquaporin 5, epithelial membrane protein and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) omega-1, and GST alpha-4 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in distinct corneal epithelial layers, providing new markers for stratification. More than 200 tags were differentially expressed, of which 25 mediate transcription. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing a detailed profile of expressed genes in the PN9 and mature mouse cornea, the present SAGE data demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression after eye opening and provide new probes for exploring corneal epithelial cell stratification, development, and function and for exploring the intricate relationship between programmed and environmentally induced gene expression in the cornea.
