In this project we explore the mitochondrial properties of SCA1+/PDGFRA+/CD31- (S+P+) cardiac fibroblasts (CF) from uninjured adult mouse hearts. We fractionated S+P+ cells on the basis of mitochondrial mass using MitoTracker green-FM and flow cytometry into three fractions: high, mid and low mitoch...
In this project we explore the role of the master hypoxia regulator, Hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (Hif-1a), in governing cardiac fibroblast (CF) function in homeostasis. CF-specific Hif-1a conditional knockout (cKO) mice were generated by breeding Pdgfra-merCremer (PdgfraMCM/+) Cre recombinase dr...
Six patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis were challenged daily for 8 days with birch pollen extract. A mucosal biopsy was obtained from one nostril at basline (day 0) and from the other nostril after allergen challenge (day 9). The mucosal biopsies were digested into single cells, and then sorte...
Protein glycosylation is an essential posttranslational modification in all domains of life. Its impairment in human can result in severe diseases named Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDGs). Most of the glycosyltransferases (GTs) responsible for proper glycosylation are polytopic membrane p...
The current study uses a transcriptomic approach to identify genes associated with differences in wood density, that are likely to be of value as candidate genes in Sitka breeding programmes for improved wood density. Following extensive wood density analysis from a Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (B...
This series represents 52 tissues hybridized across 5 different chip patterns. Probes were placed at every exon-exon junction in each transcript. Keywords = junction alternate splicing oligonucleotide Keywords: parallel sample. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Aging is associated with major nuclear changes affecting genomic integrity and gene expression. Here we compare the gene expression profiles in the neocortex of young (5 months old) and old (30 months old) B6xC3 F1 mice. In a related study, we compare genes that change expression with age to SIRT1 a...
