Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the gene expression profile for three main cell lines (supporting, interstitial/stromal, and germ cells) isolated from developing gonads during the process of the testis cord and ovarian cyst formation (between TS13 and TS34).
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:The aim of this study was to analyze the gene expression profile for three main cell lines (supporting, interstitial/stromal, and germ cells) isolated from developing gonads at the critical period of sexual differentiation (between 11.5, and 13.5 dpc). Three cell lines (supporting, interstitial/stromal, and germ cells) were isolated from murine fetal XX and XY gonads at three time points (11.5, 12.5, and 13.5 dpc). Transgenic mouse strains with the expression of cell type specific fluorescent markers were used to isolate the cell lines. Cells were sorted using FACS method and then the RNA was extracted.
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. Gene expression was measured in whole testis from males aged 62-86 days. Samples include 190 first generation lab-bred male offspring of wild-caught mice from the Mus musculus musculus - M. m. domesticus hybrid zone.
Project description:The goal of this study is to determine the complete gene expression profile for each cell type of the developing gonad during the critical window in which it adopts the testis or ovarian fate. Transgenic mice with cell type specific fluorescent markers were used to isolate germ cells, supporting cells, interstitial cells (including steroidogenic precursors), and endothelial cells in the developing testis and ovary. The gonads were dissociated in trypsin, and the fluorescent cells were isolated by FACS. The RNA was collected from the isolated cells and their gene expression profiles were determined by microarray analysis.
Project description:Our research aims to chart the circRNA expression profile and assess their impact on the lung PMN. We developed a lung PMN model and employed comprehensive RNA sequencing to analyze the differences in circRNA expression between normal and pre-metastatic lungs.Overall, our study highlights the crucial role of circRNAs in the formation of lung PMNs, supporting their potential as diagnostic or therapeutic targets for lung metastasis.

Project description:Neural crest cells are migratory progenitor cells that contribute to nearly all tissues and organs throughout the body. Their formation, migration and differentiation are regulated by a multitude of signaling pathways, that when disrupted can lead to disorders termed neurocristopathies. While work in avian and amphibian species has revealed essential factors governing the specification and induction of neural crest cells during gastrulation and neurulation in non-mammalian species, their functions do not appear to be conserved in mice, leaving major gaps in our understanding of neural crest cell formation in mammals. Here we describe Germ Cell Nuclear Factor (GCNF/Nr6a1), an orphan nuclear receptor, as a critical regulator of neural crest cell formation in mice. Gcnf null mutant mice, exhibit a major disruption of neural crest cell formation. The purpose of this experiment is to examine gene expression changes in response to Gcnf mutation in E9.0 mouse embryos.
