ABSTRACT: In this study we explored the antiviral gene expression induced in the CNS of MHV-infected mice, by performing whole-genome expression profiling. Three different mouse strains (BALB/c, 129SvEv and 129SvEv IFNAR-/- mice), differing in their susceptibility to infection with MHV, were used.
Project description:In order to study the physiological consequences of a high-copper diet on hepatic gene expression, 6 mM CuCl2 was added to the drinking water for a period of 1 month. After this period, livers of seven control mice and eight copper-treated mice were isolated and were subjected to microarray analysis and copper measurements. The hepatic gene expression profile of copper-treated mice was compared to non-treated mice using a pooled reference.
Project description:Nine time points for microarray analysis were chosen to study early and late transcriptional responses in copper metabolism upon copper overload in HepG2 cells. Samples of copper-treated cells were hybridized using non-treated samples as a reference.
Project description:Mice were obtained from in house breeding of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J-Chr 1A/Na breeding pairs (Jackson Laboratories, USA). To produce F1 hybrids, C57BL/6J females were mated with C57BL/6J-Chr 1A/Na males. The F1 hybrids were intercrossed, producing 82 F2 progeny (41 males and 41 females). Microarray analysis was performed on six pairs of affected and non-affected male animals from the F2 progeny selected on the basis of their motor activity levels (average daily levels of distance moved over a 3 days recording: 768±74 cm/hr (affected) versus 1765±175 cm/hr (non-affected)(p<0.0001).
Project description:A gene expression study using microarray analysis was performed to elucidate the underlying mechanism leading to embryonic lethality in homozygous Commd1 null (Commd1-/-) mouse embryos. A gene expression profile of 9.5 dpc Commd1-/- embryos were generated and were compared to a gene expression profile of both 8.5 dpc and 9.5 dpc normal embryos.
Project description:An experiment was performed to investigate the perservation of gene expression upon metastasis of primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas to the cervical lymph node.
Project description:Genome wide gene expression was compared between nonHS, HS temporal lobe epilepsy patients (TLE) and autopsy control hippocampi in a 3-way analysis. In many TLE patients the hippocampus is subject to massive neuronal damage, gliosis and hippocampal sclerosis (HS), while in others there is no apparent hippocampal damage (nonHS). This three way analysis enabled us to differentiate between pathology and epilepsy related processes.
Project description:Infection of cells with murine hepatitis virus strain A59 (MHV-A59) results in massive amounts of viral RNA within infected cells. When applying transcriptional profiling by means of microarray analysis, this could potentially cause problems since high amounts of viral RNA could in theory interfere with the analysis. Since coronavirus RNAs are polyadenylated, the viral RNAs are also amplified by oligo(dT) primers (a standard procedure when processing RNA samples for array hybridization). In this experiment we compared two different array platforms for the potential interference of viral RNA, using MHV-A59 infection of LR7 (murine fibroblasts) as a model.
Project description:Direct comparison of gene expression in 13.5dpc embryonic gonad/mesonephros between male Mrotm1H/Mrotm1H mice and male wild-type littermates. Two independent pools of 10 gonads (5 mice) were compared on 4 microarrays (two colourswaps).
