Project description:To identify molecular mechanism underlying the protection from diet-induced hepatic steatosis in AHNAK deficiency mice, we examined microarray analysis with liver sample from HFD-fed AHNAK KO and WT mice. Two-condition experiment, regular chow (CD) -fed WT vs. CD-fed AHNAK KO and High fat diet(HFD)-fed WT vs. HFD-fed AHNAK KO mice. Biological replicates: 3 control, One replicate per array.
Project description:Liver samples of mice harboring liver-specific deletion of Lats2 (Lats2-CKO) were compared to WT mice. This effect was tested along with the effect of diet - high cholesterol diet (Paigen-PD) vs. normal chow (ND).
Project description:Isolated glomeruli from mice were analyzed. The grouping was as follows: WT mice exposed to normal diet, podocyte specific Pdzd8 KO mice exposed to normal diet, WT mice exposed to 12w high fat diet, podocyte specific Pdzd8 KO mice exposed to 12w high fat diet.
Project description:To establish the consequences of whole-animal deletion of CYP2E1, we isolated RNA from dissected brain tissue (cerebellum, medial prefrontal cortex, dorsal hippocampus, and ventral hippocampus) of 16-week male and female WT and KO mice. Mice were maintained on a normal chow diet and were euthanized using CO2 and decapitation prior to brain dissection.
Project description:The popularity of high fat foods in modern society has been associated with epidemic of various metabolic diseases characterized by insulin resistance, the pathology of which involves complex interactions between multiple tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue (WAT). To uncover the mechanism by which excessive fat impairs insulin sensitivity, we conducted a multi- tissue study by using TMT-based quantitative proteomics. 3-week-old ICR mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 19 weeks to induce insulin resistance. Liver, skeletal muscle and epididymal fat were collected for proteomics screening. Additionally, PRM was used for validating adipose differential proteins. By comparing tissue-specific protein profiles of HFD mice, multi-tissue regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis and corresponding underlying mechanisms was systematically investigated and characterized. NC: normal birth weight + chow diet; NH: normal birth weight + high fat diet; LC: low birth weight + chow diet; LH: low birth weight + high fat diet.
Project description:We performed RNA-sequencing of liver, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues from Fam13a KO/WT mice on high fat diet and chow. We observed genes in pathways relevant to adipose biology to be differentially expressed between WT and KO, and there to be a more pervasive effect of Fam13a KO on the transcriptome in SAT when compared to VAT.
Project description:Both PIK3R1(Y657X) mutant and wild-type C57Bl/6J mice were maintained on chow until 16 weeks old, at which time they were fasted for 16 hours and then refed chow for 6 hours. The tissues were harvested and snap-frozen at three time points: chow diet before overnight fast (ad libitum chow, ALC), after 16 hour fast (overnight fast, ONF), and after 6 hour refeeding (refed 6 hours, RF6).
