Project description:Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) from Escherichia coli is thought to be a main factor to casue renal dysfunction in Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infection. The renal dysfunction caused by the proximal tubular defects can be detected in the earlier EHEC infection. However, the precise information of gene expression from proximal tubular epithelial cells has yet to be clarified. We performed microarray experiments using Stx2-injected mouse kidney and Stx2-treated human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC), and extracted common genes that were differentially expressed.

Project description:Unbiased single-cell RNA-sequencing in freshly-dissociated cells from healthy and stenotic mouse kidneys identified stenotic-kidneys epithelial cells undergoing both mesenchymal transition and senescence.
Project description:To identify BVES-interacting proteins from mouse skeletal muscle, we performed IP-mass from AAV9-BVES-HA injected mouse skeletal muscle using the anti-HA magnetic beads.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse embryonic kidneys (E13.5) comparing UB HDAC1,2-/- kidneys with wild type kidneys. Studies in our lab showed that histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and 2 (HDAC2) perform redundant, yet essential functions in the developing mouse ureteric bud (UB) tissue. Double deletion of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in the UB results in impaired UB branching morphogenesis, followed by severe kidney dysgenesis. The goal of the microarray analysis was to identify the genetic pathways controlled by HDAC1 and 2 in the UB.
