Project description:Ubiquitylome data from brains of old mice either fed ad libitum or calorie restricted (4 weeks) followed by a refeeding phase (7days)

Project description:Paneth cells recide in the intestinal crypt bottom and are part of the innate immunity and of the intestinal stem cell niche. We used microarrays to detail the global changes in gene expression following reduced calorie intake. Mice were kept on ad libitum or calorie restricted (60% of calories of ad libitum) diets for 4-7 weeks and paneth cells were isolated using flowcytometry
Project description:Paraffin-embedded lung and spleen tissues analyzed by Eksigent nanoLC-Ultra 2D System and QExactive mass spectrometer. Both lung and spleen tissues were extracted from animals at 4 different conditions (Not infected Ad libitum, Not infected Caloric restricted, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) infected Ad libitum, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) infected Caloric restricted). Globally, 24 and 23 runs are uploaded for lung and spleen tissues, respectively.
Project description:Using RNA-seq, 39 cerebral cortex RNA samples were sequenced. The study design was as follows: Ad libitum fed rats at 6 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Calorie restricted rats at 6 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Rats fed alpha lipoic acid as a supplement to ad libitum at 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Diet switching groups, where diet was changes at 12 months; 28 month ad libitum switched to calorie restriction (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month calorie restriction switched to ad libitum (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month ad libitum plus lipoic acid switched to calorie restriction (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month calorie restriction switched to ad libitum plus lipoic acid (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Transcriptional profiling of the ageing cerebral cortex at 6, 12 and 28 months and the effect of diet on age and longevity, using carlorie restriction and alpha lipoic acid supplementation
Project description:In utero undernutrition is associated with obesity and insulin resistance, although its effect on skeletal muscle remains poorly defined. We report that, in mice, adult offspring from undernourished dams have decreased energy expenditure, decreased skeletal muscle mitochondrial content, and altered energetics in isolated mitochondria and permeabilized muscle fibers. Strikingly, when these mice are put on a 40% calorie restricted diet they lose half as much weight as calorie restricted controls. Our results reveal for the first time that in utero undernutrition alters metabolic physiology having a profound effect on skeletal muscle energetics and response to calorie restriction in adulthood. We have used a mouse model of low birth weight generated through 50% food restriction of mouse dams during the third week of gestation. We have studied in utero food restricted offspring and control offspring that were not food restricted in utero in both the ad libitum and calorie restricted states. Gene expression profiling was performed on tibialis anterior muscle from 8 mice per group, pooled in pairs.
Project description:In a previous study, 50% calorie restriction in mice from days 1.5-11.5 of pregnancy resulted in reduced placental weights and areas, relatively sparing of labyrinth zone area compared to junctional zone area, and dramatic changes in global gene expression profiles. Here we examined placental gene expression at day 18.5, after the return to normal feeding to see whether differences were reversible Mice were randomized to 2 treatment groups on day 1.5 of pregnancy: (1) ad libitum fed (control) (2) 50% food restriction (restricted). Mice were returned to ad libitum feed on d11.5, sacrificed on d18.5 and placentas were collected.
