Project description:Coffin–Lowry Syndrome (CLS) is a syndromic form of mental retardation caused by loss of function mutations in the X-linked RPS6KA3 gene, which encodes Rsk2, a serine/threonine kinase involved in spatial memory. We analyzed hippocampal gene expression profiles in Rsk2-KO mice to identify changes in molecular pathways. Total RNA was extracted from hippocampi from 6 KO and 6 WT (littermates) 2-month-old male mice. For each genotype, equivalent amounts of RNA from 2 mice were pooled and processed for hybridization to the genome wide oligonucleotide microarray (Murine 430A 2.0 Affymetrix, 22.000 probe sets). Thus, 3 independent pooled samples were hybridized for each genotype. We compared hippocampal gene expression profiles from rsk2-KO and normal littermate mice to identify changes in molecular pathways
Project description:Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been shown to suppress neuroinflammation through stabilizing epoxy fatty acids. Here we examined the role of sEH inhibitor TPPU in PS19 tauopathy mouse model by treating the 6-month-old wild-type and PS19 mice with vehicle or TPPU via drinking water continuously for 12 weeks, followed by performing single nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hippocampal tissues of the treated mice.

Project description:Complement C3aR is primarily expressed in microglial cells in the brain. Our study found elevated expression of C3aR in microglia in Alzheimer's disease. To understand the underlying molecular mechanism, we sorted microglia based on their C3aR expression from 9-month-old wild-type and APP-KI mice. Through RNA-seq analysis, we identified metabolic perturbations in C3aR-positive microglia from 9-month-old APP-KI mice. Furthermore, we performed RNA-seq on sorted microglial cells from wild-type, C3aR knockout, APP-KI, and APP-KI;C3aR knockout mice. This analysis revealed a dampening of metabolic dysfunction in the absence of C3aR.
Project description:Expression of PS19 Tau Transgenic mice from hippocampus at different ages 3, 6, 9, and 12 months We used Affy arrays to understand the global expression profile of PS19 Tau transgenic mice
Project description:We analysed 3~4 repeats of 3 groups of mouse MII oocytes including 2-month-old WT, 2-month-old Tet2-KO, 11-month-old WT to find Tet2 function on female mice fertility.
Project description:Droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq of fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) isolated from whole limb skeletal muscles of 8 month old WT and Dysferllin KO mice.
