Project description:XIAP (X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis; ILP, BIRC4) is involved not only in apoptosis, but also in signal tranduction in the NF-kappaB, TGF-beta, bone morphogenic protein, and JNK signalling pathways. We have analyzed whether XIAP deletion leads to changes in gene expression, particularly after inflammatory stimulation. Experiment Overall Design: Fibroblasts from wild-type and XIAP knockout mice were analyzed with and without TNFa stimulation (4 hours) using Affymetrix U74Av2 arrays.
Project description:Nucleolus-associated DNA was isolated from MEF cells before and after conditional knock-out of UBF and hybridized against genomic DNA in biological replicates. Two different types of immortalized MEF cells were used. MEFs were immortalized by genetic depletion of p53, iMEFs were immortalized by transfection of the SV40 Tt antigen.
