Protocadherin 12 (Pcdh12) is a transmembrane adhesive protein with homophilic adhesive properties and expressed in endothelial cells, the glycogen trophoblast cells of the placenta, and the mesangial cells of kidney glomeruli. Pcdh12-deficient mice are alive although they show alterations in placenta development.
Protocadherin 12 deficiency alters morphogenesis and transcriptional profile of the placenta.

However, the underlying mechanisms by which ABA elicits its immune modulatory effects are not well understood. This project used a systems approach in combination with functional and in vivo studies to investigate the target gene pathways modulated by ABA in the context of an inflammatory LPS challenge.

View SamplesBackground: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality among US men. Epidemiological evidence suggests that high vitamin D status protects men from prostate cancer and the active form of vitamin D, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D) has anti-cancer effects in cultured prostate cells. Still, the molecular mechanisms and the gene targets for vitamin D-mediated prostate cancer prevention are unknown.

View SamplesCombination therapy with estrogen and a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) is a promising approach to safely alleviate important side effects related to estrogen deficiency in women at high risk for breast cancer. Data related to endometrial safety of estrogen+SERM co-therapies are limited, however. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the endometrial profile of low-dose E2 and Tam alone and in combination.

View SamplesWe analyzed Purkinje cell transcriptome dynamics in the developing mouse cerebellum during the first three postnatal weeks, a key developmental period equivalent to the third trimester in human cerebellar development. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of developmental Purkinje cell transcriptomes and provides a valuable dataset for gene network analyses and biological questions on genes implicated in cerebellar and Purkinje cell development. Overall design: Laser capture microdissection was employed to obtain a highly enriched population of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Deep sequencing was performed on RNA isolated from 1000 Purkinje cells at five developmental timepoints (postnatal days P0, P4, P8, P14 and P21) in triplicate.
A gene expression signature in developing Purkinje cells predicts autism and intellectual disability co-morbidity status.

View SamplesThe HT29 derivative cell line HT29-MTX-E12 (E12) produces an adherent mucus layer predominantly of the gastric MUC5AC mucin when grown on transwells. This mucus layer supports Helicobacter pylori survival in culture. E12 cells were infected with H. pylori and the transcriptome of infected and uninfected E12 were compared. Also included for comparison was the HT29 parent cell line grown on transwells.
