Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to evaluate the gene expression of E4BP4 knockout (KO) RAW264.7 cells. Methods: We generated E4BP4-KO RAW264.7 Cell Line using CRISPR-CAS9 system. Control plasmid was encoding the Cas9 nuclease without gRNA sequence. Total RNA of E4BP4-KO and Control (CTRL) RAW264.7 cells was extracted. RAW264.7 cells RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing for two groups (E4BP4-KO versus CTRL RAW264.7 cells) with three samples each. Results: There were significant differences between E4BP4-KO and CTRL RAW264.7 cells. Conclusions: Deletion of E4BP4 in RAW264.7 cells induced various changes at the transcription level.

Project description:To investigate the role of E4bp4 during non-alcholic liver diseases, we subjected the WT mice and E4bp4 liver specific knockout (E4bp4-LKO) mice to NASH diet for 20 weeks.
