Project description:Series includes pooled (n = 5 mice per biological replicate) samples from lacrimal, meibomian, and submandibular glands of male palcebo- and testosterone-treated BALB/c mice. All experiments were run in triplicate (pooled biological replicates) on CodeLink Mouse Uniset I Microarrays. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:Series includes pooled (n = 5 mice per biological replicate) samples from submandibular, sublingual, parotid, lacrimal, and meibomian glands of BALB/c mice. Both male and female samples were analyzed on CodeLink Mouse Uniset I Microarrays. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:Our objective was to determine the nature and extent of androgen regulation of gene expression in the female lacrimal, meibomian,and submandibular glands, and to explore the degree to which this control is the same as in male glands. Keywords: Hormone treatment
Project description:The Influence of Testosterone on Lacrimal Gland Gene Expression in Female Mice of the MRL/lpr and Non-obese Diabetic Models of SjšgrenÕs Syndrome Keywords: Placebo versus Testosterone Treatment. Female placebo and testosterone treated lacrimal glands were harvested from each mouse strain . Tissues were pooled into 3 biological replicates and were hybridized to separate microarrays. Each cRNA prep was hybridized to a GE Healthcare/Amersham Biosciences CodeLink UniSet Mouse 20K I Bioarray and a Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Expression Array 430A.
Project description:The Effect of Aromatase Knockout on Gene Expression in the Mouse Lacrimal and Meibomoan Gland. Keywords: Aromatase Knockout vs Wild Type Control Lacrimal and meibomian glands were harvested from homozygous male and female aromatase knockout mice and age matched wild type controls. Tissues were pooled into 3 biological replicates and were hybridized to separate microarrays. Each cRNA prep was hybridized to a GE Healthcare/Amersham Biosciences CodeLink UniSet Mouse 20K I Bioarray and a Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Expression Array 430A.
Project description:Prior to the onset of autoimmune destruction, type 1 diabetic patients and an animal model thereof, the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, show morphological and functional abnormalities in target organs, which may act as inciting events for leukocyte infiltration. To better understand these abnormalities, but without the complications associated with inflammatory infiltrates, we examined genes expressed in autoimmune target tissues (pancreas, submandibular glands, and lacrimal glands) of NOD/scid mice and of autoimmune-resistant C57BL6/scid mice. Experiment Overall Design: Pancreata (6 weeks old mice), submandibular (9 and 15 weeks), and lacrimal glands (15 weeks) from individual NOD-scid and B6-scid mice were isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:To identify the transcriptomic alterations within the different cellular compartments of the lacrimal gland during chronic inflammation, we analyzed the lacrimal glands of NOD.B10.H2b vs BALB/cJ with 10X Visium technology
