Project description:In the current study, we investigated the gene expression response of blood cells of non-human primates that were total body irradiated with a 4 Gy dose. We isolated total RNA from peripheral blood at 3 days before irradiation, and then from the same animals on days 3, 5 and 7 days after irradiation. Using Agilent Rhesus microarrays, we identified genes that were significantly differentially expressed across the 7-day time course of this study. We identified common biological functions affected that persisted across the 7-day study.
Project description:Duplicate hybridizations with fluorochrome switching were performed following the first two fractions of total body irradiation for accumulated doses of 1.5 Gy and 3.0 Gy. Control samples for all hybridizations were from the same patient before the beginning of treatment. Keywords: dose response

Project description:This is an experiment to study the effects of total body irradiation on intestinal gene expression. There are 24 male animals in the study; 4 controls, 10 animals received 6.7 Gy, 10 received 7.4 Gy. Animals were killed 4, 7 or 12 days after irradiation

Project description:Microarray was performed to comprehensively examine microRNA induction in murine small intestine after exposure to total body g-irradiation. Small intestines were collected from Tlr3+/+ and Tlr3-/- mice at 0 and 6 hr after exposure to 10 Gy of total body g-irradiation. Samples were pooled from 3 mice. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to microRNA microarray analysis.
Project description:A 2 Gy-total body irradiation (TBI) of WT mice induces a second wave of ROS and a second wave of apoptosis in hematopoietic stem cells starting from 6 days after irradiation. In CD169DTR/+ mice, which are depleted in CD169+ resident macrophages after a diphtheria toxin injection, these two waves do not occur and a total recovery of the LT-HSC pool is observed, contrarily to the LT-HSC pool from WT mice, which is decreased. Our goal is to understand why these secondary waves of apoptosis and ROS occur in LT-HSC from irradiated WT mice and not in LT-HSC from irradiated mice depleted in resident macrophages, allowing a recovery of the LT-HSC pool. We used microarrays to compare the global gene expression in LT-HSC isolated from WT and CD169DTR/+ mice 5 days after irradiation, i.e. just before both secondary waves of ROS and apoptosis occurred in WT mice.
Project description:Comprehensive gene expression analysis in BM-resident stromal cells was performed for an overview of BM environmental change caused by total body irradiation (TBI). Total RNA samples collected from BM-resident stromal cells with or without TBI were subjected to high sensitivity DNA microarray assays Three-condition experiment: Unirradiated, 1 day after TBI and 3 days after TBI. Bone marrow stromal cells were obtained from C57BL/6 mice (n = 6) either non-irradiated or after 9.5 Gy irradiation at indicated times.
Project description:This experiment was performed to assess the effect of loss of Hnf4a in the intestinal epithelium on the regeneration process after irradiation. Intestinal epithelium specific knockout was obtained by oral adminstration of tamoxifen to VillinCreERT2+-Hnf4afl/fl mice and VillinCreERT2--Hnf4afl/fl mice (which served as controls). 3 weeks after the tamoxifen administration, mice received 14 Gy whole-body gamma-irradiation. RNA was extracted from small intestinal tissue 96 hours after irradiation.
