ABSTRACT: Gene-level expression profiles of 7 Aip knock-out (triplicates from each) and 9 Aip wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines were studied using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Exon 1.0 ST Arrays All samples were quantile-normalized by the RMA method (Robust Multichip Average) using re-mapped gene annotations from Brainarray Custom CDF files (MoEx10stv1, Version 14.1.0, http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/default.asp). A 2-way ANOVA was constructed to identify genes that differentially expressed between KO and WT samples. False discovery rate control (FDR) with Benjamini and Hochberg method was used to correct for multiple testing
Project description:LncRNAs played a crucial role in the cell growth, development and some diseases relating to central nerve system.This study suggest that with regulating the LncRNAs expression level we might design novel therapy for spinalcord injury. In this dataset, we profiled the expression pattern of LncRNAs by microarray method after spinal cord injury (SCI). Through Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis seek LncRNAs potential function in the repair of spinal cord injury. Fifteen samples were analyzed. In these sample, we divided into five groups (sham operation, 1 day post-injured, 3 days post-injured, 1 week post-injued and 3 weeks post-injured) and each group contained three mice.After RNA extraction,RNA form mice in the same group were mixed by equal mass for the preparation of microarray.Compared with spinal cord without injury, the differential expression level of LncRNAs had a few changes at 1day post-injury, reached the peak at 1 week after SCI, and subsequently declined until 3 weeks post-injury. Genes with an FDR≤0.05 and a fold-change ≥2 were selected. Subsequently we analysis the significant differential expression genes.

Strains used were Mock, PR8, X31, VN6+2 (1x10^5pfu) Time Point: 12 h post infection (Mock, PR8, X31, VN); Mock group has four biological replicates, virally infected groups have five replicates. Total samples: 19.

Project description:Mephedrone (Meph) is a novel psychostimulant whose recreational consumption is often associated to other drugs, especially alcohol (EtOH). This kind of drug consumption during adolescence is a matter of concern. We studied, in adolescent CD-1 mice, whether low-moderate doses of EtOH could enhance the psychostimulant (locomotor acivity) and reinforcing (conditioned place preference, CPP) effects of mephedrone. Simultaneously we also determined the most relevant transcriptional changes associated to a reinforcing treatment. A single dose of Meph (10 mg/kg, sc) induced an increase of about 100% in locomotor activity, which was a further enhanced by 40% when associated with a dose of EtOH (1 g/kg). The hyperlocomotion was partially antagonized by ketanserin and haloperidol, but only haloperidol blocked the potentiation induced by EtOH. Furthermore, Meph (25 mg/kg) induced significant positive conditioning, which increased by 70% when administered with 0.75 mg/kg EtOH. Microarray analysis of mRNA extracted from anterior striata of the mice used in CPP experiments reported significant modifications in genes related with neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity, which were further validated by Real-time PCR for all three drug-treated groups. Four groups were compared in the study: adolescent Swiss CD-1 mice treated with saline, ethanol, mephedrone or mephedrone + ethanol during the conditioned place preference (CPP) ten-day procedure, aimed at evaluating reward. Twelve samples are provided, which correspond to triplicates of each treatment group. The samples provided were subsequently normalized and analyzed using the GeneSpring GX 7.3.1 software.
Project description:In order to examine the long term effects of the OPs, murine liver cells (BNL CL.2, ATCC® TIB-73) have been exposed to sub-lethal doses of three OPs: diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) representative of sarin and soman, O,S-diethyl methylphosphonothioate (OSD) serving as a simulant for VX, and paraoxon as an example of OP insecticides. Dosing levels of these compounds was set at 20% of the IV LD50 for each, with a 4 hour exposure time. Gene arrays and physiological tests were run at three time points following exposure; 2 hours, 2 days, and 2 weeks. The physiological results showed little to no effect upon exposure to sub-lethal dose of OPs. Gene expression and microRNA (miRNA) profiles using GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays and miRNA arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) found that the OPs did alter expression of genes related to several systems previously implicated in OP exposure with no long term effects. In addition, a significant number of sRNA/snRNA and ribosomal RNA were found to be affected suggesting the need for further study of the changes in these regulators. Three biological replicates of liver cells were exposed to three representative OPs and then harvested at three time points (2 hours, 72 hours, and two weeks) following exposure. These time points were designed for a determination of both early and late effects as well as identification of persistent, chronic changes. The RNAs from the collected cells were extracted and processed on commercial microarrays to determine the gene expression patterns and miRNA profiles associated with response to exposure to the OPs.
Project description:Microarray expression profiling of manually sorted m-citirin-labeled layer 4 visual cortex star pyramid neurons from deprived and non-deprived hemispheres. Monocular deprivation by TTX-injection (at P12-13 and again at P13-14), followed by manual sorting of m-Citrin-labeled Layer 4 Visual Cortex Star Pyramid neurons in deprived and non-deprived hemispheres. RNA was extracted using PicoPure RNA Isolation Kit, reverse transcribed, and amplified using a standard T7 IVT protocol (Affymetrix Small Sample Target Labeling Assay Version II).
Project description:We performed a study of gene expression changes that occur during mouse aging in the striatum and cortex in specific neuronal populations. Using translating ribosome afifnity purificaiton, we captured cell type-specific mRNAs from Drd1a-expressing cortical neurons, Drd1a-expressing striatal neurons, Drd2-expressing cortical neurons, and Drd2-expressing striatal neurons. 31 total samples were anlayzed. We generated the followinf pairwise comparisons: Old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd1a expressing cortical cells; old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd2 expressing cortical cells; old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd1a expressing striatal cells; old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd2 expressing striatal cells. We used a restriction of Benjamini-Hochberg FDR <0.05, and a fold-change restriction of 1.2-fold.
Project description:Cyclosporine A (CSA) leads to the precocious onset of hair follicle growth, which is driven by premature activation and proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Here, we identify gene expression changes associated with CSA treatment in hair follicle stem cells prior to the onset of proliferation as a readout for the early events in stem cell actvation. Hair follicle bulge stem cells were FACS-isolated from mouse skin during the 2nd telogen. Two biological replicated were performed.
