Project description:The aim of this study was to establish an intradermal ear injection model to evaluate the effects of IL-36γ and IL-17A in psoriasis.The cytokines IL-36γ and IL-17A were injected intradermally alone or in combination into the ear pinnae of C57BL/6 mice. Ear thickness measurement was performed daily. After 4 days mice were euthanized and a gene expression profiling was conducted.
Project description:There is not information regards the role of miRNAs in the development of the external ear in mammals. The aim of this study was to determine the stage-specific expression of miRNAs during external ear development in order to identify miRNAs and their possible targets. GeneChip miRNA 3.0 arrays by Affymetrix were used to obtain miRNA expression profiles from mice fetal pinnae and skin back tissues at 13.5 dpc and 14.5 dpc, biological triplicates for each tissue were analyzed; one litter represents one biological replica, each litter with 16 fetuses in average.
