Project description:Fundic mucosa gene expression in wildtype vs gastrin knockout, gastrin replaced gastrin KO and gastrin-CCK double knockout mice Fundic mucosal scraping RNA were isolated from WT, Gastrin Knockout, Gastrin replaced KO and Gastrin-CCK double knockout mice. Targets from three biological replicates of each were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix murine 430A arrays. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with gastrin responsiveness and Gastrin-CCK double effect . Keywords: repeat

Project description:We are studying the role of PAI-1 in hypergastrinemic transgenic mice (PAI-1 knockout, HK-ATPase beta knockout and corresponding control strains). As a model of hypergastrinaemia, HK-ATPase beta knockout mice are preferred instead of giving a high dose of proton pump inhibitors daily. We have successfully crossed these two strains and generated double knockout mice (PAI-1--/HK-ATPase--) and 3 different control groups (PAI-1++/HK-ATPase++, PAI-1--/HK-ATPase++ and PAI-1++/HK-ATPase--) (9 animals in each group). The gastric phenotype of all mice has been examined by morphologic and molecular analysis after 12 months. Gastric biopsies and blood samples have been taken for histology, large scale gene expression analysis, verification of mRNA and protein expression and gastrin measurements. Global gene expression analysis has been done on gastric mucosal samples from all groups of mice. The differences between wild type mice and the transgenic animals are expected to provide novel hypotheses on the role of PAI-1 in gastrin-induced changes in the gastric mucosa.
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.
