Project description:Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array was used to study gene expression profiles in three groups of mice: with thyroid hormone receptor ThrbPV (ThrbPV/PV) mutation only, with RAS mutation (KrasG12D) only, and with both ThrbPV/PV and KrasG12D mutations. Three groups mice: with thyroid hormone receptor ThrbPV (ThrbPV/PV) mutation only, with RAS mutation (KrasG12D) only, and with both ThrbPV/PV and KrasG12D mutations. Each group has three biological replicates.

Project description:Characterization of Directly Regulated Thyroid Hormone Mediated Gene Expression Following Short-Term Perturbations in Thyroid Hormone Levels in Juvenile Mice
Project description:Thyroid hormone is crucial for normal brain development. Thyroid hormone transporters control thyroid hormone homeostatis in brain. Mutations in the thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 result in a complex endocrine and neurological phenotype. We investigated the mechanisms of disease by analyzing gene expression profiles in fibroblasts from patients with mutations in MCT8. Performing comparative transcriptome analysis, we linked the genes differentially expressed in patient fibroblasts to the human brain transcriptome.
Project description:Thyroid hormone is known to be required for inner ear development. The influence of the thyroid hormone receptor α1 is however unclear, as most previous studies point to a predominant function of the TRβ1/2 isotypes. We report a RNA-seq analysis which completes a full histological and functional analysis showing that mice carrying a mutation of the TRα1 receptor have mild alteration of inner ear.
Project description:We used microarrays to investigate differential gene expression in different thyroid hormone receptor beta mouse models. Hypothyroid wild type, TRbeta KO and TRbeta GS mutant mice were treated with T3 or vehicle alone. Microarray analysis revealed that the gene expression pattern in TRbeta GS mutant mice was similar to that in TRbeta KO mice.
