Project description:Pglyrp1-/-, Pglyrp2-/-, Pglyrp3-/-, and Pglyrp4-/- mice are all more sensitive than wild type (WT) mice to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. The purpose of this study was to determine which genes are differentially induced by DSS treatment in the colon of Pglyrp1-/-, Pglyrp2-/-, Pglyrp3-/-, and Pglyrp4-/- mice compared to WT mice. The results demonstrate higher induction of proinflammatory gene expression in Pglyrp1-/-, Pglyrp2-/-, Pglyrp3-/-, and Pglyrp4-/- mice than in WT mice after DSS treatment. The majority of genes whose expression is increased in Pglyrp1-/-, Pglyrp2-/-, Pglyrp3-/-, and Pglyrp4-/- mice but not in WT mice are interferon-inducible genes. Thus, Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins Pglyrp1, Pglyrp2, Pglyrp3, and Pglyrp4 protect mice from excessive inflammatory response and damage to the colon by limiting expression of interferon-inducible genes in the colon.
Project description:To describe the protein profile in hippocampus, colon and ileum tissue’ changing after the old faeces transplants, we adopted a quantitative label free proteomics approach.
Project description:This study aims to investigate the protein expression profiles in a murine model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis using advanced Astral-DIA quantitative proteomics technology. A total of 12 colon tissue samples were analyzed, including 6 from healthy control mice and 6 from DSS-treated mice with induced colitis. Experimental Design Species: Mus musculus (C57BL/6 strain). Tissue Source: Colon tissues were dissected, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and homogenized to extract proteins. Groups: Control Group: Healthy mice without intervention. DSS Group: Mice subjected to 2.5% DSS administration for 7 days to induce colitis, validated by histopathological assessment.
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.
Project description:The objective of the study was to evalute the changes in gene expression associated to UCP2 invalidation in colon tumors from AOM/DSS-treated mice We used microarrays (Mouse Gene 2.0) to investigate gene expression in Ucp2+/+ and Ucp2-/- colon tumors
