Project description:Single cell RNA- sequencing analysis was performed on CD45+ cells isolated from mammary glands of 10-week-old mice. The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize macrophages in the normal mammary gland.
Project description:LH-overexpressing mice display elevated levels of mammogenic hormones and consequently develop spontaneous mammary tumors with a median latency of 41 weeks. Tumors occur in the absence of p53 mutations and in the presence of a seemingly functional p53 signaling pathway. At 16 weeks of age, no histological evidence of tumors is observed in these transgenic mammary glands; however, mammary cells do demonstrate centrosome amplification at this age suggesting that early tumorigenic processes may have occured. Thus comparison of the transcriptome of the mammary glands from 16 week old LH-overexpressing mice to that of wild type mice will provide insight into early events occuring in p53-independent hormone-induced tumorigenesis. Keywords: disease state analysis
Project description:Epithelial cells were isolated by FACS from the mammary glands of pubescent (5 week old), estrus adult (10 week old) and diestrus adult (10 week old) female mice. Freshly sorted cells were submitted to a 10X Genomics Chromium System for single cell capture. cDNA synthesis and library preparation was done according to the protocol supplied by the manufacturer. Sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NextSeq500 sequencer using parameters recommended by 10X Genomics.
Project description:The aim of the study was to identify gene expression profiles that distinguished different stages of osteoblast commitment, and determine whether the same osteoblast cell populations from mice of different ages had distinguishable expression profiles that may indicate functional changes are apparent for the cell populations during different stages of skeletal development. Pre-osteoblastic and mature osteoblastic cells were isolated from collagenase digested bones from 5 week old and 8 week wild type C57BL6 mice by FACS based on Lin, Sca-1, CD51, and CD31 cell surface markers.
Project description:Mammary glands were collected from 8 pubescent (4.7-4.9 week-old) female mice and 8 adult (10 week old) female mice. Freshly sorted epithelial cells were submitted to a Fluidigm C1 System machine for single cell capture and cDNA synthesis. Cells were visualized under the microscope to ensure integrity of the captured single cells prior to cDNA preparation. Libraries were prepared using the Nextera XT kit and sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NextSeq 500 to achieve paired-end 75 bp reads.
Project description:RON WT and RON KO at 5, 6, 7 week virgin mammary glands In the study, we demonstrated that RON regulates mammary gland branching morphogenesis in pubertal development associated with changes in gene expression. Keywords: Pubertal mammary glands In the study, we hybridized RNA from 5, 6, 7 week old virgin female RON WT and KO mammary glands to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array
Project description:Mammary glands were collected from pre-pubescent (2 weeks old), pubescent (4.7- 4.9 weeks old) and adult (10 week-old) female mice. Freshly sorted epithelial cells were submitted to a Fluidigm C1 System machine for single cell capture and cDNA synthesis. Cells were visualized under a microscope to ensure integrity of the captured single cells prior to cDNA preparation. Libraries were prepared using the Nextera XT kit and sequencing was carried out on an Illumina Hiseq 2000 to achieve 100 bp paired-end reads.
Project description:Epithelial cells were isolated by FACS from the mammary glands of adult (10 week old) female mice. A basal subpopulation of the epithelial cells was also isolated. Freshly sorted cells were submitted to a 10X Genomics Chromium System for single cell capture. cDNA synthesis and library preparation was done according to the protocol supplied by the manufacturer. Sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NextSeq500 sequencer to achieve 75 bp paired-end reads.
Project description:To investigate the effect of youthful systemic milieu on acute kidney injury in a rat kidney transplantation model based on young (6-week-old) and adult (12-week-old) recipients receiving similar donor kidneys (12-week-old)
