Project description:The effects of Gata4 inhibition on global gene expression in TM4 Sertoli cells was analyzed. Using microarray analysis we identified a set of genes that are downregulated or upregulated following siRNA-mediated silencing of Gata4 in the murine Sertoli cell line TM4. Among the downregulated genes were regulators of blood-testtis barrier function and lactate metabolism. TM4 cells were transfected with non-targeting (NT) siRNA and Gata4 siRNA respectively. 72h post transfection cells were lysed and RNA was extracted.
Project description:The effects of Gata4 inhibition on global gene expression in mLTC-1 cells was analysed. Using microarray analysis we identified a set of genes that are downregulated or upregulated following siRNA-mediated silencing of Gata4 in the murine Leydig tumor cell line mLTC-1. Among the downregulated genes were enzymes of the androgen biosynthetic pathway. mLTC-1 cells were transfected with non-targeting (NT) siRNA and Gata4 siRNA respectively. 72h post transfection cells were lysed and RNA was extracted.
