Project description:Comparison of temporal small RNA gene expression from Mus musculus blood. The RNA-seq data comprise 5 groups at ages: 2, 9, 15, 24 and 30 months. Jena Centre for Systems Biology of Ageing - JenAge (www.jenage.de)
Project description:We found that BAP1 (BRCA1 Associated Protein-1) shows loss of heterozygosity in over 25% of pancreatic cancer patients and functions as tumor suppressor. Conditional deletion of Bap1 in murine pancreas led to genomic instability, accumulation of DNA damage, and an inflammatory response that evolved to pancreatitis with full penetrance. Concomitant expression of oncogenic KrasG12D led to malignant transformation and development of invasive and metastatic pancreatic cancer. At the molecular level, BAP1 maintains the integrity of the exocrine pancreas by regulating genomic stability and its loss confers sensitivity to radio- and platinum-based therapies.
Project description:To investigate the gene expression profilie of systemic Candida albicans infection(invasive candidiasis), we designed RNA-Seq analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells for Control mice(uinfected) and systemic Candida albicans-infected mice(infected for 7days).
