Project description:Analysis of DOCK8 deficient animals revealed a novel marker of NKT cell development, the integrin CD103. The role of CD103 was further investigated by RNA microarray comparing CD103 negative versus positive NKT cells. Total RNA was extracted from 3 biological replicates of thymic, CD103positive NKT cells and compared using an Illumina microarray to CD103negative NKT cells.
Project description:Analysis of DOCK8 deficient animals revealed a key role for this protein the survival and maintenance of natural killer T cells. This work lead to the identification of genes regulated by the guanine exchange factor, DOCK8. Total RNA was extracted from 3 biological replicates of thymic, DOCK8 deficient NKT cells and compared using an Illumina microarray to WT NKT cells.

Project description:This study was designed to assess the global transcriptional differences between villin-Grem villi compared to normal villi of age-matched mice. We found changes in key gene signatures asscoiated with tumorigenesis. Total RNA obtained from isolated villi from Villin-Gremlin mouse (n=6) and wildtype controls (n=6)
Project description:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with beta-interferon for 2, 6 and 18 hours, and interferon-responsive genes identified. This 'signature' was then analysed in newly diagnosed and long-standing type-1 diabetics, as well as pre-diabetic children and individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Project description:mRNA profiling of miR-210 transgenic (in vivo), mimic-transfected (in vitro) and miR-210 knockout activated mouse B-cells was performed to assess the effect of miR-210 overexpression on the B-cell transcriptome.
