Project description:Analysis of metabolic pathway gene expression. The hypothesis tested in the present study is to assess mRNA level changes in metabolic genes in enterocytes from intestine specific PGC-1β konckout mice. Total RNA obtained from ileum samples from IKOPGC-1β mice was compared to the total RNA extracted from their wild-type littermates.
Project description:Analysis of metabolic pathway gene expression. The hypothesis tested in the present study is to assess mRNA level changes in metabolic genes in enterocytes from transgenic mice overexpressing PGC-1β specifically in the intestine. Total RNA obtained from ileum samples from iPGC-1β mice was compared to the total RNA extracted from their wild-type littermates.
Project description:Analysis of metabolic pathway gene expression. The hypothesis tested in the present study is to assess mRNA level changes in metabolic genes in intestinal tumors from APCmin mice overexpressing PGC-1β specifically in the intestine. Total RNA obtained from ileum tumor samples from iPGC-1β/APCmin mice was compared to the total RNA extracted from FVBN/APCmin mice.
Project description:The aim of the study was to assess whether changes in the expression of miRs could be implicated in the modulation of the NOTCH pathway in head and neck paragangliomas. Several miRs, notably including families (miR-34s, miR-200s) that target the NOTCH signaling pathway, resulted differentially expressed in paragangliomas compared to the reference normal tissue, i.e., Jacobson's nerve. Total RNA from paraganglioma samples compared to total RNA from Jacobson's nerves (normal controls, chosen because Jacobson's nerve is a frequent site of origin of tympanic paraganglioma) and from SH-SY5Y cells (chosen based on their sympathoadrenal origin).
Project description:miRNA expression profiles of PBMCs in healthy subjects following extra virgin olive oil intake. The aim of the present study was to investigate the whole-genome gene and miRNA profiles of PBMCs after EVOO intake. Results provide the information of changes in PBMPs transcriptome following EVOO intake. RNA obtained from PBMCs of the same patients before and after extra virgin olive oil intake (paired samples). Comparisons: T0 vs. T1 (paired samples) - Controls
