Project description:To investigate gene expression changes induced by Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 (LPA3) activation in peri-implantation uteri, we performed microarray analysis in LPA3 agonist (T13)-injected pseudopregnant uteri. On 3.5 dpc, pseudopregnant mice were subjected with intrautero-injection of vehicle (0.01% BSA-PBS) or T13 and then uteri were dissected 24-36 hr after the injection. We found that several thousand genes were up- or down-regulated by T13 injection. Interestingly, well-known decidual markers such as Bmp2 and Wnt4 were dramatically induced by T13, which we certificated in quantitive RT-PCR.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profile during WAT -beige transition by treatment of beta adrenergic receptor agonist .
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profile during WAT -beige transition by treatment of beta adrenergic receptor agonist . Stromal vascular fractions (SVF) from mice (n = 3/group) that received vehicle or beta3 adrenergic receptor agonist, CL, treatment were served for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We are trying to find out angiogenic factors genes dynamics during white adipose tissues (WAT) - beige transition.
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.
