Project description:SMXA-5 mouse shows a high-fat induced fatty liver. The QTL for fatty liver was mapped on mouse chromosome 12, designated as Fl1sa. Iah1 gene is a candidate gene for Fl1sa. Kidney is the highest tissue of Iah1 gene expression in mouse. We compared the kidney's gene expressions between Iah1-WT mouse and Iah1-KO mouse.

Project description:mRNA expression differences between the liver and kidney of an adult male (homo sapien) were investigated using three technical replicates. The purpose of the experiment was to compare array data generated using Affymetrix with measures of expression obtained using RNAseq (a sequencing approach for measuring expression that utilizes Solexa technology). Keywords: kidney, liver
Project description:This dataset consists of liver and kidney gene expression profiles of young UM-HET3 mice subjected to the following compounds for 1 month: AS-703026 (liver and kidney), enzastaurin (liver and kidney), GDC-0941 (liver and kidney), ascorbyl-palmitate (kidney), AZD8055 (kidney) and KU0063794 (kidney). Corresponding age-, sex- and strain-matched littermate controls for kidney are also presented. This dataset complements liver RNAseq profiles of control UM-HET3 mice and mice subjected to ascorbyl-palmitate, AZD8055 and KU0063794 (collected and sequenced at the same time) stored at GSE131868.
Project description:The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a common cause of life-threatening nosocomial bloodstream infections. In the murine model of systemic candidiasis the kidney is the primary target organ while the fungal load declines over time in liver and spleen. To get a better understanding of the organ-specific differences in host-pathogen interaction during systemic murine candidiasis, we performed a time-course gene expression profiling to investigate the differential responses of murine kidney, liver and spleen and determined the fungal transcriptome in liver and kidney. We clearly demonstrate a delayed immune response on the transcriptional level in kidney accompanied by late induction of fungal stress response genes in this organ. In contrast, early upregulation of the proinflammatory response in the liver was associated with a fungal transcriptional profile resembling that of phagocytosed cells, suggesting that the resident phagocytic system contributes significantly to fungal control in the liver. Although no visible filamentation occurred in the liver, C. albicans hypha-associated genes were upregulated, indicating an uncoupling of gene expression and morphology during infection of this organ. In vitro the induction of hypha-associated gene expression in yeast cells led to altered interaction with macrophages, suggesting that the observed transcriptional changes affect host-pathogen interaction in vivo. Consistently, the combination of host and pathogen transcriptional data in an inference network model implied that C. albicans cell wall remodeling and metabolism were connected to the immune responses in kidney and liver. Furthermore, the network suggested links between fungal iron acquisition and amino acid metabolism in the kidney and host organ homeostasis. Thus, this work provides novel insights into the organ-specific host-pathogen interactions during systemic C. albicans infection.

Project description:The PAR-domain basic leucine zipper (PAR bZip) transcription factors DBP, TEF, and HLF accumulate in a highly circadian manner in several peripheral tissues, including liver and kidney. Mice devoid of all three of these proteins are born at expected Mendelian ratios, but are epilepsy-prone, age at an accelerated rate and die prematurely. In the hope of identifying PAR bZip target genes whose altered expression might contribute to the high morbidity and mortality of PAR bZip triple knockout mice, we compared the liver and kidney transcriptomes of these animals to those of wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice. These experiments revealed that PAR bZip proteins control the expression of many enzymes and regulators involved in detoxification and drug metabolism, such as cytochrome P450 enzymes, carboxylesterases, and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). Indeed, PAR bZip triple knockout mice are hypersensitive to xenobiotic compounds, and the deficiency in detoxification may contribute to their early ageing.
