Project description:Comparison of gene expression in wildtype and MyD88-/- C57BL/6J mouse macrophages treated with 10 ng/mL LPS for 2 hours versus media treated control macrophages, and, wildtype and MyD88-/- C57BL/6J mouse macrophages treated with live E. coli bacteria (log phase; 1 bact per 1 macrophage) for 2 hours versus media treated control macrophages. Cells from 4 mice of each geneotype were used and each individual provided its own control. Hybridizations of treated and control samples from each mouse were dye swap replicated. Wildtype macrophages treated with LPS vs control (GSM22617-GSM22623,GSM22625), MyD88-/- macrophages treated with LPS vs control (GSM22626-GSM22632), wldtype macrophages treated with E. coli vs control (GSM22633-GSM22640, and MyD88-/- macrophages treated with E. coli vs control (GSM22641-GSM22648).

Project description:PURPOSE: To provide a detailed gene expression profile of the normal postnatal mouse cornea. METHODS: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on postnatal day (PN)9 and adult mouse (6 week) total corneas. The expression of selected genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: A total of 64,272 PN9 and 62,206 adult tags were sequenced. Mouse corneal transcriptomes are composed of at least 19,544 and 18,509 unique mRNAs, respectively. One third of the unique tags were expressed at both stages, whereas a third was identified exclusively in PN9 or adult corneas. Three hundred thirty-four PN9 and 339 adult tags were enriched more than fivefold over other published nonocular libraries. Abundant transcripts were associated with metabolic functions, redox activities, and barrier integrity. Three members of the Ly-6/uPAR family whose functions are unknown in the cornea constitute more than 1% of the total mRNA. Aquaporin 5, epithelial membrane protein and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) omega-1, and GST alpha-4 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in distinct corneal epithelial layers, providing new markers for stratification. More than 200 tags were differentially expressed, of which 25 mediate transcription. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing a detailed profile of expressed genes in the PN9 and mature mouse cornea, the present SAGE data demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression after eye opening and provide new probes for exploring corneal epithelial cell stratification, development, and function and for exploring the intricate relationship between programmed and environmentally induced gene expression in the cornea.
