Project description:The IgH 3' regulatory region (3'RR) controls class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation in mice. Similar numbers of B cells are found in spleen of 3'RR-deficient mice and wt mice. We compare their transcriptoma in order to find differences in their maturation status. B splenocytes from four wt mice and four 3'RR-deficient mice are investigated. Splenic B cells are purified with anti-B220-coupled beads.

Project description:c-myc-3'RR mice prone to develop Burkitt lymphoma (BL) were crossed with p53+/- mice in order to obtain c-myc-3'RR/p53+/- mice. These mice develop a wider spectrum of lymphoma including BL, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and plasma cell lymphoma (PCL). Transcriptoma analysis of these lymphomas is investigated in these arrays.

These mice develop a wider spectrum of lymphoma including BL, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and plasma cell lymphoma (PCL). Transcriptoma analysis of these lymphomas is investigated in these arrays. Four different plasma cell lymphoma (PCL1-4), three different mantle cell lymphoma (MCL1-4) and four different Burkitt lymphoma (BL1-4) were compared.
Project description:We created mice, which are deficient for Myc specifically in cardiac myocytes by crossing crossed Myc-floxed mice (Mycfl/fl) and MLC-2VCre/+ mice. Serial analysis of earlier stages of gestation revealed that Myc-deficient mice died prematurely at E13.5-14.5. Morphological analyses of E13.5 Myc-null embryos showed normal ventricular size and structure; however, decreased cardiac myocyte proliferation and increased apoptosis was observed. BrdU incorporation rates were also decreased significantly in Myc-null myocardium. Myc-null mice displayed a 3.67-fold increase in apoptotic cardiomyocytes by TUNEL assay. We examined global gene expression using oligonucleotide microarrays. Numerous genes involved in mitochondrial death pathways were dysregulated including Bnip3L and Birc2. Keywords: wildtype vs Myc-null
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:CD69 is a transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of activated leukocyte. The ligand for CD69 and the intracellular signaling pathway of this molecule are yet unknown. It is widely used as a marker of activated lymphocyte, but its function in immune system is not known. We used micro-array to define genes whose expression is regulated by activation antigene CD69. CD4 T cells were isolated from the spleen of wt B6 and CD69-deficient B6 mice and in vitro activated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads. On one groupe of wt B6 cells, CD69 was activated using a anti-CD69 and secoundary antibody. RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays was performed for wt B6, CD69-activated wt B6 and CD69-deficient B6 CD4 T cells.
