Project description:We wished to investigate the role of E-cadherin loss in our mouse parietal cell/pre-parietal cell E-cadherin knock-out, p53 knock-out, oncogenic Kras induced model of gastric cancer. As such, we isolated RNA from stomach tissue from our E-cadherin knock-out model (Atp4b-Cre;Cdh1(fl/fl);Kras(LSL-G12D/+);Trp53(fl/fl);Rosa26(LSL-YFP/LSL-YFP)) and our E-cadherin heterozygous model (Atp4b-Cre;Cdh1(fl/+);Kras(LSL-G12D/+);Trp53(fl/fl);Rosa26(LSL-YFP/LSL-YFP)). We then performed a microarray on this stomach tissue from four independent mice of each genotype. Differentially expressed genes were identified and gene set overlap analysis was used to identify pathways enriched in one model over the other.
Project description:Age- and sex-matched (male, 2-3 months old) ERT2 AlbCre Ifnar fl/fl and ERT2 AlbCre Ifnar +/+ mice were injected intraperitoneally with 40 mg/kg tamoxifen for 5 consective days. Mice were then intravenously infected with 2x10^6 focus forming units of LCMV Cl13 and liver tissue of either genotype was harvested 1.5 days post infection and analyzed for transcriptomic changes (n = 3). Liver tissue of uninfected animals of both genotypes was harvested as control (n = 3).
Project description:Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans AK-01 was grown on Hexadecane and Hexadecanoic acid. A microarray was run in triplicate for each growth condition and transcription was assessed for all predicted protein coding ORFs.
