Project description:Setdb1 is one of the H3K9 methyltransferases and represses gene expression by H3K9 methylation. In an attempt to elucidate the role of Setdb1 in the TLR4-mediated inflammatory responses, we performed DNA microarray analysis using lipid A (the active component of LPS)-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from macrophage specific Setdb1 KO (KO) and WT mice. The genes upregulated by lipid A treatment in WT macrophages and further increased in KO macrophages contain many genes associated with interleukins and chemokines. Peritoneal macrophages from WT and KO mice were stimulated with lipid A 10 ng/ml or vehicle for 4 h. Microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0.
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
