Project description:Identification of the embryonic germ cell Meioc-/- transcriptome, MEIOC targets in postnatal testis, and YTHDC2 targets in postnatal testis in mouse
Project description:In the normal adult testis GDNF specifically targets spermatogonial stem cells and early progenitor spermatogonia. Inhibition of GDNF signaling for 9 days alters only 171 of the 15,000 transcripts expressed in the mouse testis. Many of these transcripts are known to be expressed by the spermatogonial stem cells. One transcript that is affected is Kif26A, a known suppressor of GDNF signaling.
Project description:Global gene expression patterns were determined from NGS on hypertrophying tibialis anterior muscles after 2, 10, 20 and 30 days resistance training (1 hour post exercise) and control muscles.
Project description:Pregnant C3H mice were given tap water (control group) and tap water containing 85 ppm sodium arsenite from gestational day 8 to 18 (arsenic group), respectively. The DNA methylomes of testis of F2 mice were investigated by RRBS method.
Project description:Pregnant females were distributed into two experimental groups: control group and MC-LR group which were exposed to 0 and 10 μg/L of MC-LR through drinking water separately during fetal and lactational periods. In 30 days old, the animals were euthanized. Testes were determined to investigate the different expressions of piRNAs using a piRNA microarray.
Project description:The busulfan-treated mouse model showed abnormal testis morphology and reduced sperm number and testis weight. Testicular and sperm damage was most severe at 30 days after busulfan treatment. The protein level of MGAT1 was increased in busulfan-treated mouse testis. The busulfan-treated mouse testes were also subjected to label-free quantification proteomics, which revealed 190 significantly downregulated proteins. Clustering heatmap, gene ontology, KEGG pathway and protein interaction analyses were performed and then validated by molecular experiments. An increased understanding of reproductive proteins function in vitro and in vivo will help to prevent and treat reproductive diseases.
Project description:To identify mechanisms behind immunosuppression during virus infections, we infected mice with LCMV-Armstrong and LCMV-Clone 13 expression patterns. LCMV-Armstrong induces a T-cell reaction that resolves infection within 8-10 days, while LCMV-Clone13 generates a persisten infection through immunosuppression. We used microarray to uncover splenic gene expression patterns specific to each LCMV infection at 5, 9, and 30 days
Project description:Murine testis developmental time course created from tissue samples collected from birth through adulthood and hybridized to M430_2 chips in duplicate. Experiment Overall Design: Time course of gene expression in the murine postpartum testis development (duplicates in day 0, 3, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20, 30, 35). Total 20 samples.
Project description:Liver undergoes both size increase and differentiation during postnatal period, which in mice is approximately first 30 days. The mechanisms of simultaneous postnatal liver cell proliferation and maturation are not clear. In these experiments, role of yes associated protein (Yap), the downstream effector of Hippo Kinase signaling pathway was investigated.
