Project description:To analysis TCR induced Med23-dependent gene expression programs in T cells, we have employed microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to be regulated by Med23 in unstimulated or stimulated T cells. Mice CD4 T cells from wildtype and Med23 knockout mice were left unstimulated or stimulated for 6 hr, and gene expression difference was identified among four samples. Expression of seven genes (Med23, IFNg, IL2, Egr2, c-Fos, c-Jun and Foxp1) was validated in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR.
Project description:H3K4me3 chromatin profiling in SUMOylation-competent and -deficient bone marrow derived dendritic cells unstimulated or stimulated with LPS
Project description:The purpose of this study was to explore the splicing landscape in unstimulated versus stimulated B cells in both ELL2 sufficient and deficient mice. This would allow us to see the magnitidue of splicing changes in the transition from unstimulated to stimulated B cells, as well as the importance of ELL2 in this process.

Project description:PURPOSE: To provide a detailed gene expression profile of the normal postnatal mouse cornea. METHODS: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on postnatal day (PN)9 and adult mouse (6 week) total corneas. The expression of selected genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: A total of 64,272 PN9 and 62,206 adult tags were sequenced. Mouse corneal transcriptomes are composed of at least 19,544 and 18,509 unique mRNAs, respectively. One third of the unique tags were expressed at both stages, whereas a third was identified exclusively in PN9 or adult corneas. Three hundred thirty-four PN9 and 339 adult tags were enriched more than fivefold over other published nonocular libraries. Abundant transcripts were associated with metabolic functions, redox activities, and barrier integrity. Three members of the Ly-6/uPAR family whose functions are unknown in the cornea constitute more than 1% of the total mRNA. Aquaporin 5, epithelial membrane protein and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) omega-1, and GST alpha-4 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in distinct corneal epithelial layers, providing new markers for stratification. More than 200 tags were differentially expressed, of which 25 mediate transcription. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing a detailed profile of expressed genes in the PN9 and mature mouse cornea, the present SAGE data demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression after eye opening and provide new probes for exploring corneal epithelial cell stratification, development, and function and for exploring the intricate relationship between programmed and environmentally induced gene expression in the cornea.
