Project description:1 year-old male 129/SV mice. Animals were acclimatized to housing in single cages for one week. Soleus muscle was harvested, total RNA isolated and subjected to transcript profiling with custom microarrays with custom-designed ATLASTM cDNA nylon filter as described (Dapp, C., Schmutz, S., Hoppeler, H. & Fluck, M. (2004) Physiol Genomics 20, 97-107). Keywords: Transcriptome
Project description:1 year-old male 129/SV mice. Animals were acclimatized to housing in single cages for one week followed by 7 days of hindlimb suspension and one day of reloading. Soleus muscle was harvested, total RNA isolated and subjected to transcript profiling with custom microarrays with custom-designed ATLASTM cDNA nylon filter as described (Dapp, C., Schmutz, S., Hoppeler, H. & Fluck, M. (2004) Physiol Genomics 20, 97-107). Keywords: transcriptome
Project description:Wildtype Swiss webster mice were exposed to four weeks of either standard housing (SH) or environmental enrichment (EE) starting at one month of age. EE chambers were large mouse cages containing two nesting/burrowing materials, a running wheel, and toys that were changed every 3-4 days for novelty and exploration. By contrast, SH control mice were housed with an equal number of littermates in smaller, standard cages containing only one nesting material and no toys or running wheel. We used an antibody for Rbfox3 (NeuN) to sort neuronal nuclei from the dissociated frontal cortices of male mice reared in EE and SH conditions. Isolated neuronal nuclei were then subjected to ATAC-seq or nuclear RNA isolation (random hexamer priming) as per published protocols.

Project description:1 year-old male Tenascin-C deficient 129/SV mice with the targeted insertion of a beta-lactamase cassette in the NcoI site of exon 2 of the TNC gene (Forsberg, E., Hirsch, E., Frohlich, L., Meyer, M., Ekblom, P., Aszodi, A., Werner, S. & Fassler, R. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci U. S. A 93, 6594-6599) were used for the study. Animals were derived from the original strain and back-crossed with wildtype 129/SV mice (Institut für Labortierkunde, University of Zurich). Animals were acclimatized to housing in single cages for one week. Soleus muscle was harvested, total RNA isolated and subjected to transcript profiling with custom microarrays with custom-designed ATLASTM cDNA nylon filter as described (Dapp, C., Schmutz, S., Hoppeler, H. & Fluck, M.

Project description:Social isolation is a growing global public health concern, associated not only with mental health disorders but also with metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms by which chronic social isolation disrupts glucose homeostasis via sympathetic nervous system activation. To elucidate adipose tissue transcriptional responses under socially isolated conditions, inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) was collected from male C57BL/6J mice subjected to either standard group housing or single housing for 8 weeks (n = 3 per group). Bulk RNA sequencing was performed to characterize differential gene expression. Analysis revealed substantial transcriptional reprogramming in iWAT from isolated mice, including upregulation of thermogenic and lipid metabolic pathways, such as Ucp1, and activation of key transcriptional regulators like Pparg. These findings suggest that social isolation induces sympathetic-driven metabolic remodeling in adipose tissue. The dataset provides valuable insight into how psychosocial stress influences peripheral metabolic gene networks and may contribute to stress-related metabolic disorders.
