Tribbles-1 regulates hepatic lipogenesis through post-transcriptional regulation of C/EBPα [array]

ABSTRACT: Comparison of gene expression in livers of either WT mice or mice with hepatic specific deletion of the gene Tribbles1. Animal groups were both Trib1 cKO mice homozygous for a floxed allele of Trib1. Mice aged 8-10 weeks were treated with adeno associated virus (AAV) encoding Cre recombinase (AAV_Cre) or no gene (AAV_null). The WT group is mice treated with AAV_Null, the liver-specific KO group treated with AAV_Cre. Gene expression data was then used in Ingenuity Pathway analysis to attempt to identify upstream transcription factors that might be responsible for the gene expression changes observed. All animals were 8-10 weeks of age, and all animals were homozygous for the floxed allele of Trib1. WT animals were treated with AAV_Null, Trib1 liver specific KO mice were treated with AAV_Cre. Mice were euthanized at 1-week post injection of AAV, and RNA collected from whole liver tissue.
