Project description:To describe the protein profile in hippocampus, colon and ileum tissue’ changing after the old faeces transplants, we adopted a quantitative label free proteomics approach.
Project description:Microarrays were used to assess the gene expression patterns in the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus of the rTg4510 mouse line at 6.1 months of age. This line harbors a repressible mutant human Tau transgene under the Camk2a promoter. Both mice with just the tet-Transactivator alone and no transgenes ('double negative') were used as comparison groups. Cellular layers of the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) from 5 or 6 mice per genotype at age 6.1 months were laser capture dissected, RNA was isolated, and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays performed.
Project description:We carried out a global survey of age-related changes in mRNA levels in the C57BL/6NIA mouse hippocampus and found a difference in the hippocampal gene expression profile between 2-month-old young mice and 15-month-old middle-aged mice correlated with an age-related cognitive deficit in hippocampal-based explicit memory formation. Middle-aged mice displayed a mild but specific deficit in spatial memory in the Morris water maze. Experiment Overall Design: No technical replicates; 14 biological replicates for 15-month-old mice, 9 biological replicates for 2-month-old mice. Whole hippocampus.
