Project description:Gene expression profiling of mouse cerebellum in which the experimental strain conditionally lack the Smarca5 gene that encodes for the catalytic subunit of multiple chromatin remodeling complexes. Deletion of Smarca5 was restricted to those cells expressing Cre-recombinase driven by the Nestin promoter.

Deletion of Smarca5 was restricted to those cells expressing Cre-recombinase driven by the Nestin promoter. Comparison of gene expression in P10 cerebella of Smarca5 cKO mice versus wild type controls. Three samples of each strain were used in a total of 3 replicates.

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the transcriptional regulator MeCP2. RTT is characterized by having apparently normal development until 6-18 months, when a progressive decline in motor and language functions begins and breathing abnormalities and seizures present. Here we present the first proteomic analysis in a RTT mouse model. Examining whole cortex tissue in symptomatic males (Mecp2Jae/y) and wild-type littermates, we have identified 465 proteins significantly altered. Pathway analysis identified biological pathways ubiquitous to multiple cell types as well as cell type specific pathways, underscoring the contributions of multiple central nervous system (CNS) cell populations to the disease pathogenesis.
Project description:The mucosal barrier protein MUC13 plays a critical role in maintaining epithelial homeostasis, yet its function remains poorly defined. In this study, we utilized a combination of genetic knockout models and transcriptomic profiling to elucidate the impact of MUC13 deficiency on tissue responses. Comparative analysis of corneal tissues from 6-week-old male Muc13-knockout (C57BL/6 background) and wild-type (WT) male mice revealed profound transcriptional perturbations in Muc13-/- mouse cornea. RNA sequencing identified a distinct repertoire of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the loss of MUC13. These findings demonstrate that MUC13 is a pivotal modulator of the epithelial barrier.
