Project description:In order to identify the effects of the knock-down of the gene of interest on the mouse ES transcriptome, we performed Affymetrix Gene-Chip hybridization experiments for the knock-down cell line. Transcriptome analysis of the knock-down transgenic mouse ES cell line. The knock-down cell line (shE13) was generated by stably expressing a specific short-hairpin RNA against E13 sequence thus knocking-down E13 expression in parental mouse ES cell line E14Tg2a.4 (E14, Hooper M et al., 1987). The specific mouse gene knocked down in the ES cell line is E130012A19Rik.
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff3 knock-out mouse model, 21 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain. n = 6 mus musculus wild type samples and n = 6 knock-down experiments have been screened for a currently known mus musculus miRNAs and validated by TaqMan
