Project description:RNA profiling was performed in the liver of TRIM24-C52/55A knockin mice fed the high fat diet to identify key downstream targets of TRIM24.
Project description:The rs58542926 C>T variant of the transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 gene (TM6SF2), encoding an E167K amino acid substitution, is associated with liver disease and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we determined the long-term effects of this coding variant of TM6SF2 on glucose metabolism in mice with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in of TM6SF2 E167K (Tm6sf2 KI) and compared to littermate wild-type mice.
Project description:To understand the mechanisms that underlie the ability of Myc to alter both the tumor and its surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME) of osteosarcoma, we generated and molecularly characterized an osteoblast-specific Cre-Lox-Stop-Lox;(LSL)-c-MycT58A;p53fl/+ knockin genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM). Phenotypically, the Myc knockin-GEMM had rapid tumor development with a high incidence of metastasis.
