Project description:In order to determine whether dis-regulation of a genetic pathway could explain the increased apoptosis of parp-2-/- double positive thymocytes, the gene expression profiles in double positive thymocytes derived from wild-type and parp-2-/- mice were analysed using Affymetrix oligonucleotide chips (mouse genome 430 2.0).
Project description:To explore the mechanisms by which DCAF8 deficiency induces functional defects in hematopoietic stem cells with an aging-like phenotype, and given DCAF8’s role as a substrate receptor in the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, we conducted proteomic analysis on Lineage negative bone marrow cells from wild-type and Dcaf8 knockout mice. This analysis aimed to identify protein alterations, providing insights into potential substrates of DCAF8 in murine hematopoietic cells.

This analysis aimed to identify ubiquitinated proteins and assess changes in ubiquitination, providing insights into potential substrates of DCAF8 in murine hematopoietic cells.
Project description:The type I JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib is approved for therapy of MPN patients but evokes resistance with longer exposure. Several novel type I JAK inhibitors were studied and we show that they uniformly induce resistance via a shared mechanism of JAK family heterodimer formation.Here we studied the expression profiles of SET2 cell lines persistent to several different type I JAK inhibitors in comparison to naive SET2 cells or in comparison to SET2 cells with acute exposure to ruxolitinib. Analysis of RNA isolated from several type I JAK inhibitor SET2 cell lines in comparison to naïve SET2 cells
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.
