Project description:E10.5 whole brain were isolated from WT and Piezo1-KO mice (C57BL/6J strain backgound) described in Ranade et al 2014. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1409233111
Project description:The ubiquitin ligase Peli1 has previously been suggested as a potential treatment target in multiple sclerosis since the knock-out induced less activated microglia and less inflammation in the CNS of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice. In the present study the brain proteomes of Peli1 knock-out mice and wild-type mice were analyzed and compared before disease induction and after 10 and 20 days of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis using quantitative proteomics. The brain samples were analyzed using TMT labeling of small pools of samples and verified using label-free of individual mice.
Project description:Spink5 constitituve knock-out mice mimic the disease features of Netherton syndrome but die within several hours after birth due to severe skin barrier defect. To characterize the skin barrier and skin inflammation phenotype of this mouse model at the molecular level, we collected back skin samples from mice shortly after their birth.
Project description:Shank3 is a core excitatory postsynaptic protein expressed in multiple brain regions including the medial prefrontal cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. Shank3 knock-out mice display autism-like behaviors and synaptic dysfunction. To understand molecular mechanisms underlying the behavioral and synaptic changes, we performed transcriptome (RNA-sequencing) analysis of the striatum tissues from 10 to 12-week-old wild-type and Shank3 knock-out/heterozygous mice.
