PGC1beta is a transcriptional coactivator that potently stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration of cells. Here, we have generated mice lacking exons 3 to 4 of the Pgc1beta gene (PGC1beta E3,4-/E3,4- mice). These mice express a mutant protein that has reduced coactivation activity on a su...
Expression profiling using the UPenn Mouse PancChip 5.0 was used to elucidate the genetic mechanisms of PANDER-induced cell death in pancreatic islets. Murine islets were treated with PANDER (PANcreatic DERived factor) for 48 or 72 h (n=4 and n=3 respectively). Following linear amplification, the ...
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an aggressive mesenchmyal malignancy with few therapeutic options. The mechanisms underlying LMS development, including clinically actionable genetic vulnerabilities, are largely unknown. We performed genomic and transcriptomic profiling of a large cohort of LMS tumors and id...
