Project description:Primary microglia derived from P0/P1 pus of C57BL/6 mice were cultured under serum-free conditions and were treated with recombinant human TGFb1 (5 ng/ml) for 24 h. RNA was isolated using the TRIzol method.
Project description:This dataset contains the RNA-seq data generated to investigate the mechanism of TOP1 inhibitor topotecan (TPT)'s role of anti-inflammation in microglial. RNA from mouse microgial cells, cells with LPS treatment to induce inflammation, and cells with LPS and TPT treatment were harvest and processed with polyA-tail enrichment RNA library preparation.
Project description:In this study, we aimed to identify 1) The relevant Itgb8 expressing cell types that mediate microglial TGFb activation; 2) The developmental timing of Itgb8-mediated TGFb signaling in microglia; 3) The cellular source and identity of the TGFb ligand relevant for microglial development and homeostasis; 4) The relationship between developmentally disrupted microglia and disease associated microglia; and 5) The role of canonical (Smad-mediated) versus non-canonical TGFb signaling in microglia.

Project description:This study set out to identify TGFb1 transcriptional targets in breast cancer cells. 4T1 breast cancer cells were treated with TGFb1 for 24h and transcripts that were significantly regulated were identified. Wisp1 was identified as one of the genes most highly upregulated by TGFb1. To identify the transcriptional targets of Wisp1, 4T1 cells were then virally transduced to increase Wisp1 expression. The gene expression profiles of Wisp1-overexpressing 4T1 cells were determined and revealed that Wisp1 overexpression does not result in major gene expression changes in 4T1 cells.
