Project description:We sequenced mRNA in grossly enlarged testes from 1-year-old Stra8-deficient mice, and in testes from adult male wild-type controls, to verify that Stra8-deficient testes are enriched for genes normally expressed in type A spermatogonia.
Project description:To study effect of VRK1 deletion on spermatogenesis of the mouse, transciptomic analysis of genes in postnatal 8-day testicular cells of wild type and VRK1-deficient Mus musculus was performed. Gene expression in testes from from wild type and VRK1-deficient mutant Mus musculus, respectively, was measured. Four independent experiments for wild type and mutant, respectively, were performed.
Project description:Sohlh1 and Sohlh2 encode a germ cell-specific basic helix-loop-helix transcriptional regulator critical in spermatogonial differentiation. Seven-day-old Sohlh1 or Sohlh2 knockout and wild-type testes were arrayed on the Affy 430 2.0 platform.
Project description:Ip6k1 knockout male mice are infertile and display a delay in the first wave of spermatogenesis. To understand the underlying basis of this delay, we compared the gene expression profiles of whole testes from 17 days postpartum (17dpp) and 26 days postpartum (26dpp) Ip6k1 wild type (Ip6k1+/+) and Ip6k1 knockout (Ip6k1-/-) mice. We observed deregulation of several biological processes in Ip6k1-/- testes compared with Ip6k1+/+ testes.
Project description:Sohlh1 and Sohlh2 encode a germ cell-specific basic helix-loop-helix transcriptional regulator critical in spermatogonial differentiation. Seven-day-old Sohlh1 or Sohlh2 knockout and wild-type testes were arrayed on the Affy 430 2.0 platform. The following mice were analyzed at postnatal day 7: wild-type, Sohlh1-/-, and Sphlh2-/-. 4 samples/group.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA in grossly enlarged testes from 1-year-old Stra8-deficient mice, and in testes from adult male wild-type controls, to verify that Stra8-deficient testes are enriched for genes normally expressed in type A spermatogonia. Examination of mRNA levels in 6 whole-testis samples (3 replicates of each genotype). Specifically, we sequenced mRNA in grossly enlarged testes from three 1-year-old Stra8-deficient male mice, and in normal testes from three adult male wild-type controls
