Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Project description:To uncover molecular mechanisms underlying reduction of responses to restraint stress by racemic (R,S)-linalool inhalation, gene expression profiling at the hypothalamus of restraint stressed rats exposed to racemic (R,S)-linalool was carried out. Inhaled (R,S)-linalool returned the expression of 560 stress-induced probe sets to a normal status. These genes were associated with synaptic transmission via neurotransmitters including anxiolytic neuropeptides such as oxytocin and neuropeptide Y, and also included a number of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I necessary for neural development and plasticity. These results reveal some of the molecular mechanisms for odor inhalation under stress condition at the hypothalamus.
Project description:The experiment was designed to determine the gene expression changes cultured brown adipocytes in response to the inflammatory stimulus of LPS treatment. Both wild type and TLR4 knockout cells were applied to enable assessment of the contribution of TLR4 to the response.
