Project description:To examine whether energy starvation caused by the increase in rRNA transcription affects liver metabolism, we compared the gene expression profiles of WT and NML-KO livers using Affymetrix microarray technology. We analyzed 5 livers of WT mice and 5 livers of NML-KO mice.

Project description:To explore the possible changes of gene expression induced by a carcinogen, we treated wild-type and Dicer1-KO mice with one dose of 120 mg/kg N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU), a model genotoxic carcinogen, and vehicle control. The gene expression profiles were assessed in the mouse livers in wild-type and Dicer1-KO mice design. Total RNA were isolated from the livers at days 15 after the treatment and their expression was determined using Gene Array. Gene expression in treated wild-type and Dicer1-KO mice was measured at 15 days after exposure to one dose of 120 mg/kg N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). Each treatment duplex ,Drug-ko-a,Drug-ko-b,Drug-wt-a,Drug-wt-b,Control-ko-a,Control-ko-b,Control-wt-a,Control-wt-b.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of RNAs extracted from livers of wild type or Smurf1 knock out (KO) or Smurf2 KO mice at age of 11 month old. We prepared RNA from the following groups: livers of Wild type (WT) or Smurf1 KO or Smurf2 KO mouse from mixed Black Swiss/129SvEv background at age of 11 month old. The gene expression profiles were compared, and selected genes that showed either increased or decreased expression by a cut-off of 1.5 folds, p< 0.05. The results showed that many genes that are involved in lipid metabolism were upregulated in Smurf1-/- livers. These results also indicate that Smurf1 plays a more prominent role in the liver than Smurf2.
Project description:The RNA-binding protein Snd1 can regulate gene expression through various mechanisms, including microRNA decay. Here we have investigated microRNA expression in livers of WT and Snd1 knockout (KO) mice
Project description:To explore the potential targets of Bmi1 in the liver development of hepatic carcinogenesis, we assayed the gene expression level in the liver of Bmi1 knockout mice. We isolated the liver tissue of Bmi1 WT and KO mice around 6-8 weeks. Then we extracted total RNA and run the microarray detection. Gene expression in Bmi1 KO mouse livers was compared with that in Bmi1 WT mouse livers to screen potential targets of Bmi1.
Project description:To identify genes regulated by FXR in mouse liver, we compared gene expression profiles in livers of FXR+/+ (wt) and liver-specific FXR KO (lKO) mice
