Project description:Mouse tibialis anterior muscles were electroporated with Nr2f6-myc plasmid or pCMV6 empty vector in the contralateral leg. After 9 days, muscles were collected, and the RNA extracted and processed for microarray analysis.
Project description:We generated transgenic mice expressing constitutively SOCS-3 specifically in skeletal muscle. SOCS proteins are implicated in the negative regulation of various pathways including insulin signaling pathway. Our transgenic mice are predisposed to obesity and systemic insulin resistance compared to control mice. We used microarrays to detail the variations of gene expression in muscle from transgenic mice versus controls. Keywords: transgenic, tibialis anterior, SOCS-3
