Project description:These arrays contain data from gonodal adipose tissue of aP2-Pex5 -/- male mice 4 arrays from gonadal adipose tissue from control mice (Swiss background) are compared with 4 arrays from gonadal adipose tissue of aP2-Pex5 knockout mice. The latter lack functional peroxisomes in adipose tissue.
Project description:The goal of this study is to determine the effects of adipose-specific Glut4 overexpression or knockout on changes in adipose tissue global gene expression Three mice from each of four genotypes were studied using a total of 12 microarray chips: aP2-Cre transgenic mice (controls for adipose-Glut4-/- mice), adipose-Glut4-/- mice; FVB mice (littermate controls for adipose-GLUT4-Tg mice) and adipose-GLUT4-Tg mice with Glut4 transgenically overexpressed under the control of the aP2 promoter. Total RNA from perigonadal adipose tissue was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit from Qiagen. Affymetrix gene chip hybridization and analysis were performed at the Genomics Core Facility of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Project description:Analysis of visceral white adipose tissue (EWAT) from Yin Yang 1 adipose-specific knockout mice exposed to cold (4ºC) for 4 days. Control mice YY1flox/flox versus YY1flox/flox; Adiponectin Cre were cold exposed for 4 days.
Project description:We demonstrate that UTX deficiency increases neural progenitor cells (NPCs) proliferation, decreases terminal mitosis and neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, we discover that impairment of cortex development caused by lack of UTX is less significant in males than in females. And further knockdown of UTY in male UTX-deficient cortex makes the phenotype consistent with the female’s. In order to understand the amount of gene expression, gene expression differences, as well as differences in gene patterns and functional clustering and other aspects of the situation after UTX conditional knockout in cortex, we conducted RNA-seq.
