ABSTRACT: Gata6 regulates lung epithelial stem cell development and airway regeneration. Here, the expression profile of microRNA was investigated when Gata6 was depleted during lung development. Analysis used total RNA from Sftpc-rtTA:tetO-cre lungs at E14.5 as control samples (WT) for comparison to the experimental samples of total RNA from Gata6flox/flox: Sftpc-rtTA: tetO-Cre mutant lungs at E14.5.
Project description:In this experiment we inhibited FGF signalling in E14.5 mouse lungs by using a dominant negative mouse model. We are interested in assessing the genetic regulation by FGF signalling at this stage of lung development. Specifically, we used a tetracycline controlled transcriptional activation model (Tet(o)) to manipulate FGF signalling. Genetically modified male mice that expressed a reverse tetracycline-controlled trans activator (rtTA) on the Rosa26 locus and a soluble FGFR2b on the Tet(o) promoter (Tet(o)sFgfr2b) (B6.Cg-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1.1(rtTA,EGFP)NagyTg(tetO-Fgfr2b/Igh)1.3Jaw/sbel), were crossed with females lacking the Tet(o)sFgfr2b allele. Pregnant females were injected with doxycycline intraperitonally at E14.5. Doxycycline then induced the transcription soluble FGFR2b in the embryos, which inhibited FGF signalling by sequestering FGF ligands, preventing them from binding to the native FGFR2b receptor. We harvested embryonic lungs after 9 hrs of inhibition. We took the left lobe of each sample for RNA isolation. We set-up our matings so that 50% of the embryos in a litter were expected to contain the soluble FGFR2b. The remaining littermates will serve as the control group. We will compare the gene expression profiles of the experimental embryonic lungs with those of littermate controls.
Project description:To determine if Sox9 was sufficient to drive mucous differentiation in the gastric epithelium, we bred mice carrying alleles for ROSA26rtTA.IRES.EGFP, TetO-Sox9, and Fgf20Cre.GFP. In these mice, cells expressing Cre will induce rtTA from the ROSA26rtTA.IRES.EGFP allele. To explore transcriptional changes following adult misexpression of Sox9, we isolated RNA from the corpus of Fgf20Cre.GFP/Cre.GFP; ROSA26rtTA.IRES.EGFP/rtTA.IRES.EGFP; TetO-Sox9 pup (misexpression animals) and ROSA26rtTA.IRES.EGFP/rtTA.IRES.EGFP; TetO-Sox9 pup (control) animals and performed RNA-sequencing.
Project description:Transgenic mice (Scgb1a1-rtTA/[tetO]-KRAS.G12D/Nkx2-1+/-) develop mucinous lung tumors. Gene expression analysis was performed using mRNAs from the whole lungs of the mice compared to that of the control mice. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying development of mucinous lung tumors and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. mRNAs were isolated from the whole lungs of the transgenic mice (Scgb1a1-rtTA/[tetO]-KRAS.G12D/Nkx2-1+/-) after 2 months doxycycline administration and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify genes induced in mucinous lung tumors.
Project description:We conditionally activated Yap in hepatocytes of adult mice by two different methods: we deleted the Lats1/2 kinases via injecting AAV8-Cre into Lats1/2 double floxed mice (Lats1/2 KO) and we overexpressed YAP via doxycycline feeding of mice that expressed the tetracycline-activated transactivator (rtTA) under the hepatocyte-specific ApoE promoter and human YAP from a rtTA-responsive TetO promoter (Apo>YAP).
Project description:We investigated the effect of GNAS(R201C) expression in the Kras;Gnas model of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms where transgenic mutant GNAS is doxycycline inducible (LGKC; p48(Cre), Kras(LSL-G12D), Rosa26(LSL-rtTA)), Tg(TetO-GNAS(R201C)) using scRNA-seq of dissociated pancreatic tissues.
Project description:We investigated the transcriptomic effect of GNAS(R201C) expression in murine cell lines derived from the Kras;Gnas model of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms where transgenic mutant GNAS is doxycycline inducible (LGKC; p48(Cre), Kras(LSL-G12D), Rosa26(LSL-rtTA)), Tg(TetO-GNAS(R201C)) using bulk RNA-seq.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment is to assess and characterize injury response of the gastric chief cells in trancriptomic level. Gif lineage cells (TdTom- GFP+) from Gif-rtTA; TetO-Cre; Rosa-mTmG mice line after Dox administration were isolated from the mouse gastric corpus without injury or at 2d after DMP777-mediated acute injury.
