Project description:Studying the differences in glycosylation in B cells of normal mice and mice with an autoimmune disease (nephrotoxic nephritis). Differences in glycosylation in B cells of normal mice and mice with an autoimmune disease (nephrotoxic nephritis) were studied via gene expression analysis. RNA from mouse resting spleen B cells and B cells stimulated with antiCD40, CpG, and IL4 for 5 days, was isolated and prepared. One sample for each class was prepared. RNA was labeled and hybridized to the GLYCOv3 array. Resulting Gene expression patterns were analyzed.
Project description:We induced acute nephritis by single injection of sheep nephrotoxic serum in mice and then treated the mice with prostaglandin E2. We used microarrays to examine the global gene expressions during recovery from nephrotoxic nephritis by prostaglandin E2.
Project description:We induced acute nephritis by single injection of sheep nephrotoxic serum in mice and then treated the mice with prostaglandin E2. We used microarrays to examine the global gene expressions during recovery from nephrotoxic nephritis by prostaglandin E2. Acute nephristis was induced in female mice by single injection of sheep Nephortoxc Serum (NTS), followed by prostaglandin E2 administration daily starting from day 2 after NTS administration. Mice were sacrificed on day 7 and RNAs were isolated from kidney. The RNA samples were subjected to mouse gene 1.0 ST array analysis.
Project description:Goal is to investigate the molecular changes in renal leukocytes during nephrotoxic nephritis in BTLA-KO mice compared to wild-type mice
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:Lupus nephritis with pronounced signs of chronic kidney disease leads to significant changes in the heart. It is not yet clear whether these changes are caused by the chronic kidney disease or by the autoimmune disease. It is also unclear which factors are responsible for the cardiovascular changes. Therefore, the gene expression of mice with lupus nephritis (NZB_W) will be compared with healthy controls (NZW).
