Project description:White adipose tissue is primary involved in the response to insulin after feeding, while brain is not directly sensitive to insulin levels. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in white adipose tissue upon eIF6 haploinsufficiency and compare the gene expression profiles to brain. We identified distinct classes of down-regulated genes and up-regulated genes in the two tissues.
Project description:To investigate the gene expression change in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of patDp/+ mice compared with wild type mice, the whole genome microarray profiling was performed. Total RNA from WAT of young adult stage mice (9-10 weeks old) was extracted and subject to microarray analysis. Expression change of sfrp5 gene was further validated by real-time PCR, suggesting this gene might contribute to the obesity in patDp/+ mice.
Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric alterations. The mutation responsible for this disease is an abnormally expanded and unstable CAG repeat within the coding region of the gene encoding huntingtin (Htt). Knock-in mouse models of HD with human exon 1 containing expanded CAG repeats inserted in the murine huntingtin gene (Hdh) provide a genetic reconstruction of the human causative mutation within the mouse model. The goal of this study is RNA expression profiling by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in 6 month old knock-in mice with CAG lengths of 175 along with littermate control wild-type animals. mRNA expression profiles were obtained via RNA-seq analysis performed on samples from the Brown Adipose tissue, White Adipose tissue around Gonad, White Adipose tissue around Intestine, Brain - Brainstem, Brain - Cerebellum, Brain - Hippocampus, Brain - Hypothalamus/Thalamus, Corpus callosum, Gastrocnemius, Heart, and Skin of 6 month old knock-in mice with CAG lengths of 175 along with littermate control wild-type animals.
Project description:We run microarrays from three per group Sv129 female mice, ten weeks old, which were maintained at 28°C (warm conditions) or 6° C (cold stimulated) for ten days, while standard animal house temperature is 22 °C. After ten days, three types of tissue were collected: Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT), Mesenteric (visceral) White Adipose Tissue (MES) and Posterior Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue (WAT)
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse white adipose tissues. The objective of this study is to explore gene expression profiles of obese adipose tissue by DNA microarray data analysis. Male db/db (BKS.Cg-m+/+ Lepr db/J, 6 weeks old) and db/+ (BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Lepr db/J, 6 weeks old) mice were used in this experiment.
Project description:Slc35d3 adipose-specific knockin (SAKI) mice were generated by crossbreeding mice carrying the Slc35d3 transgene locus controlled by loxp-stop-loxp sequence (LSL-Slc35d3) with adiponectin-derived Cre mice, which is a mouse model that expresses the cre enzyme specifically in adipose tissues. Male 6-week-old Slc35d3 adipose-specific knockin mice (SAKI group) and their control mice (wild-type mice, WT group) were fed a normal standard chow diet (NCD, 10 kal% fat, D09100304, Research Diets, Inc) for 10 weeks. All mice reached the experimental endpoint at 16 weeks of age. Mice in WT group were used as controls. Upon reaching the experimental endpoint, inguinal white adipose tissue (IngWAT) from three SAKI mice and three WT mice were removed for RNA sequencing.
Project description:To investigate the gene expression change in the white adipose tissue (WAT) of patDp/+ mice compared with wild type mice, the whole genome microarray profiling was performed. Total RNA from WAT of young adult stage mice (9-10 weeks old) was extracted and subject to microarray analysis. Expression change of sfrp5 gene was further validated by real-time PCR, suggesting this gene might contribute to the obesity in patDp/+ mice. We measured the gene expression change in WAT of young adult stage mice. Three patDp/+ mice and threewild type mice were used in the experiment.
Project description:We run microarrays from three per group Sv129 female mice, ten weeks old, which were maintained at 28M-BM-0C (warm conditions) or 6M-BM-0 C (cold stimulated) for ten days, while standard animal house temperature is 22 M-BM-0C. After ten days, three types of tissue were collected: Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT), Mesenteric (visceral) White Adipose Tissue (MES) and Posterior Subcutaneous White Adipose Tissue (WAT) Different adipose tissue depots were taken for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to determine the differences between white and brown adipose tissues at different temperatures
Project description:Whole genome microarray expression was measured in metabolic active tissues (gonadal white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle) of 6 week old mice to detect changes in gene expression related to early onset of diabetes and obesity.
