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:To investigate the differences in microRNA expression profiles between fibrotic and normal livers, we performed microRNA microarrays for total RNA extracts isolated from mouse livers treated with carbontetrachloride (CCl4) or corn-oil for 10 weeks (n=3/group). MicroRNAs were considered to have significant differences in expression level when the expression difference showed more than two-fold change between the experimental and control groups at p<0.05. We found that 12 miRNAs were differentially expressed in CCl4-induced fibrotic liver. To induce chronic liver fibrosis, seven-week-old mice received 0.6 ml/kg body weight of carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4) dissolved in corn-oil by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, twice a week for 10 weeks (n=3). As a control, same number of mice was injected with equal volume of corn-oil for 10 weeks.
Project description:Identification of differentially expressed genes in young (3 month old) versus aged (24 month old) mouse hematopoietic stem cells. Comparison of genes differentially expressed in hematopoietic stem cells of young mice with conditional deletion of mTOR within vascular endothelium.
Project description:Identification of differentially expressed genes in young (3 month old) versus aged (24 month old) mouse bone marrow derived endothelial cells. Comparison of genes differentially expressed in bone marrow derived endothelial cells of young mice with conditional deletion of mTOR within vascular endothelium.
Project description:Metabolite profiling was performed on metabolites extracted from the entorhinal cortex and primary visual cortex of 14-15 month old APOE3/3, APOE3/4 and APOE4/4 mice. Metabolites were run on a TOF Mass Spectrometer using an ANP column. Initial analysis was done in an untargeted manner, and processing was done to determine the differentially expressed metabolites based on their mass and retention times. Further analysis was then performed to assign identities to the differentially expressed metabolites using a database of biologically-relevant metabolites whose standards had been run under identical conditions as the samples in the study.
