Project description:FADD-IEC KO and CASP8 IEC-KO mice spontaneously develop chronic colitis charcterized by inflammatory gene expression. We characterized the role of MLKL, RIPK3, ZBP1, in the upregulation of inlflammatory genes in these mice. We used microarray to study the effect of MLKL, RIPK3 and ZBP1 on the gene expression profile in FADD IEC-KO and/or CASP8 IEC-KO mice and detect effects on specific inflammatory genes.
