Project description:Ramulus Mori (Sangzhi) alkaloids (SZ-A) improves lipid metabolism and adipose tissue inflammation in HFD-induced obese mice.This study compares transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in the epididymal adipose tissue of normal chow, high-fat diet (HFD) control and SZ-A-treated HFD mice to verify the regulatory mechanisms of SZ-A. These results demonstrated that SZ-A regulates lipid metabolism and inflammation.
Project description:CNE-2Z cells transfected with an empty vector or a TIPE1 lentiviral vector were collected for gene expression detection. Some of them, for instance, the expression of the downstream mTOR signaling pathway was dramatically upregulated. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression after transfection with TIPE1 and identified distinct classes of changed genes during this process. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression after transfected with TIPE1 and identified distinct classes of changed genes during this process.
Project description:HeLa cells transfected with an empty vector or a TIPE1 lentiviral vector were collected for gene expression detection. Some of them, for instance, the expression of genes induced by p53 was dramatically decreased. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression after transfection with TIPE1 and identified distinct classes of changed genes during this process.
Project description:C57BL/6 mice received methionine/choline deficient (MCD) diet to establish the model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with or without Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) treatment. DDC improves hepatic steatosis, ballooning, inflammation and fibrosis in rodent models of NAFLD through modulating lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.
