ABSTRACT: Consecutive caerulein injections induce an acute pancreatitis in mice. Here, we recorded gene expression levels at different stages of pancreatic regeneration in wild-type mice as well as KrasG12D-mutated mice. Tissue was collected from mice pancreata, cell sorting was not performed. t=0h refers to the time where caerulein was injected. control referes to NaCl-treated samples (no caerulein). 13 time points were used for wild-type mice, 9 time points were used for KrasG12D-mutated mice. Multiple replicates were generated for each time point. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
Project description:Transgenic KrasG12D mice can recapitulate pancreas intra-epithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Caerulein is a cholecystokinin analogue and induces acute pancreatitis when injected intra-abdominally. Caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis will accelerate PanIN progression in KrasG12D mice. We compared mRNA profile changes between KrasG12D mice with acute caerulein-induced pancreatitis and wild-type mice without acute pancreatitis. The experiment had two groups. Experiment group: KrasG12D mice with acute caerulein-induced pancreatitis (N=6). Three mice in experiment group received 1-week caerulein injection, and the other three mice received 2-week caerulein injection. All experiment group mice started to receive caerulein injection at 1-month of age, and were sacrificed at the last day of caerulein injection. Control group: wild-type mice without acute pancreatitis (N=6). The mice were sacrificed at 1.5-month of age. Whole pancreas tissue lysate samples were subjected to mRNA array assay.
Project description:Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a disease with unclear immunologic triggers. This study shows that the pancreatic stellate cells are involved in the regulation of the immune response and can cause autoimmunity when the NF-κB signalling in these cells is disrupted.
Project description:To investigate the underlying changes during acinar-to-ductal metaplasia induced by different oncogenes and by acute pancreatitis, pancreatic tissue was isolated from 10 week old control wt, KrasG12D, Pi3kCAH1047R and Mek1dd mice and from mice of the same genotypes after induction of acute pancreatitis.
Project description:Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a disease with unclear immunologic triggers. This study shows that the pancreatic stellate cells(PSCs) are involved in the regulation of the immune response and can cause autoimmunity when the NF-κB signalling in these cells is disrupted. The PSCs were isolated from animals which show autoimmune pancreatitis (NEMO knockout group) or chronic pancreatitis (NEMO wildtype group).

Project description:We report a reprogrammable mouse system in which reprogramming factor expression in vivo can be controlled temporally by treatment with doxycycline (Dox). Transient expression of reprogramming factors in vivo results in tumor development in various tissues, consisting of undifferentiated dysplastic cells. We analyzed the kidney tumors developed in reprogrammable mice for global gene expressions and DNA methylations. Reprogrammable mice at 4 weeks of age were treated with Dox for 7 days followed by the withdrawal. Seven days after the withdrawal, kidney tumors were analyzed for gene expressions and DNA methylations with microarray and RRBS method, respectively. Normal kidney tissue at the same age and ES cells were analyzed as controls. To examine the early changes of gene expressions, transgene-expressing kidney cells were FACS sorted and they are utilized for microarray analysis. Primary liver tumors in reprogrammable mice and transplanted secondary kidney tumors in the subcutaneous tissues of immnodeficient mice were also analyzed for gene expressions.
Project description:Cdx2/IL-1beta mice have less intestinal metaplasia at the squamocolumnar junction thanIL-1beta mice alone. This study was to identify a mechanism for this effect by examining differences in gene expression patterns when Cdx2 is co-expressed. We dissected out intestinal metaplasia nodules from the squamocolumnar junction in Cdx2/IL-1beta mice and Il-1beta mice and measured gene expression on a Mouse Gene 2.0ST Affymetrix array in Oct 2013.
Project description:The gene expression profile of E. coli K-12 MG1655 grown in minimal medium treated with 0.12 mg/L of the biocide triclosan has been analysed using whole genome oligonucleotide microarrays. "Control" RNA was isolated from three independently grown 50ml MOPS minimal media cultures of E. coli K-12 MG1655. âTestâ RNA was isolated from three independently grown 50ml MOPS minimal cultures of E. coli K-12 MG1655, to which was added 0.12 mg/L of triclosan after reaching mid-logarithmic growth phase (OD600 ~ 0.7 +/- 0.02). Keywords: dose response Cy5-labelled cDNA probes were synthesised from three independent biological extractions of RNA from E. coli MG1655 unexposed to triclosan. Cy3-labelled cDNA probes were synthesised from three independent biological extractions of RNA from E. coli MG1655 exposed to 0.12 mg/L of triclosan. A dye-swap control was also included, whereupon the control cDNA probes were labelled with Cy3 and the test cDNA probes labelled with Cy5. Probes were mixed to allow comparison of the control and test expression profiles and hybridised onto an E. coli spotted oligonucleotide array.
Project description:Mouse pancreas from wild type and MistKO animals were induced either with caerulein or saline as control and processed for RNA. Targets from three biological replicates of each were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Mouse Expression chips 430. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with differential expression patterns of genes which might contribute to pancreatitis.
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.
