Project description:We used microarrays to compare interferon-alpha (IFNa)- and interferon-gamma (IFNg)-stimulated genes under an equivalent biological input. The goal was to compare IFNa- and IFNg-stimulated genes, as well as to identify common and distinct sets of type I and II ISGs. Bone marrow macrophages derived from mouse bone marrow in M-CSF for 7 days. The cells were stimulated with 62U/mL IFNa and 1U/mL of IFNg for 2.5 hrs in culture. These concentrations induced equivalent STAT1 phosphorylation in BMMs.
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.
Project description:We have examined the transcriptional events in mouse bone marrow derived macrophages (MBDM) with interferon-gamma (Ifng)at 2, 4 & 8 h following treatment or pre-treatment (0 h).
Project description:Changes in mouse liver mRNA profiles following intraperitoneal cytokine injection. Either interferon-gamma-/-, albumin-cre(-) Socs3(w/fl) mice, or albumin-cre(+) Socs3(-/fl) mice were injected with either phosphate-buffered saline, interferon-gamma, or interleukin-6, and livers taken after 4h.
