-myosin heavy chain promoter controlled MerCreMer expression enables conditional, cardiomyocyte specific and tamoxifen dependent gene inactivation of floxed genes. Administration of tamoxifen has been linked to development of acute and transient cardiomyopathy. The mechanism for this is unknown.
Cre-loxP DNA recombination is possible with only minimal unspecific transcriptional changes and without cardiomyopathy in Tg(alphaMHC-MerCreMer) mice.

View SamplesGenome-scale methods have identified subchromosomal structures so-called topologically associated domains (TADs) that subdivide the genome into discrete regulatory units, establish with their target genes. By re-engineering human duplications at the SOX9 locus in mice combined with 4C-seq and Capture Hi-C experiments, we show that genomic duplications can result in the formation of novel chromatin domains (neo-TADs) and that this process determines their molecular pathology. Overall design: RNA-seq of embryonic limb buds for WT and mutant animals carrying structural variations at the Sox9/Kcnj locus.
Formation of new chromatin domains determines pathogenicity of genomic duplications.

View SamplesThe noncluster homeodomain containing gene, HOX11/TLX1 (TLX1) is detected at the breakpoint of the t(10;14)(q24;q11) chromosome translocation in patients with T cell Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). This translocation results in the inappropriate expression of TLX1 in T cells. The oncogenic potential of TLX1 was demonstrated in IgH-TLX1Tg mice, which developed mature B cell lymphoma after a long latency period suggesting the requirement of additional mutations to initiate malignancy.
Ectopic TLX1 expression accelerates malignancies in mice deficient in DNA-PK.

Overall design: C57BL/6 mice was exposed to vehicle or multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) by intratracheal installation. 5 mice was exposed to 162 ug of MWCNTs ( XNRI-7; lot05072001K28, Hadoga Chemical industry (formerly known as Mitsui) disolved in 0.9% NaCl and 10% v/v cellfree cellular broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collected from C57BL/6 mice. 6 mice was exposed to the previously decribed saline/BAL solution but without carbon nanotubes.

View SamplesA subset of GC B cells that have stopped cycling, upregulated CD38 and downregulated BCL-6 is functionally verified as GC-derived memory B cell precursors (GC-MPs). RNA-seq analyses of the transcriptome were used to probe the developmental trajectory of these cells and their responses to IL-9, a cytokine that is found to drive the memory development from the GC. Overall design: Differential gene expression analyses between GC-MP cells and regular GC B cells in G1 phase (GC-MPP cells); Gene expression profiling of different GC subsets in comparison to memory B cells and plasma cells; acute effects of in vivo IL-9 or anti-IL-9 treatment on GC-MP or GC-MPP cells.

View SamplesImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease where platelets are destroyed prematurely. In the majority of children the disease resolves but in some it becomes chronic. To investigate whether the two forms of the disease are similar or separate entities we performed DNA microarray analysis of T-cells from newly diagnosed children and children with chronic ITP. We found complete separation of the expression files between the two forms of the disease. Furthermore, the gene expression of several cytokines differed between the two forms of the disease. This was also reflected in plasma with increased levels of IL-16 and TWEAK and lower levels of IL-4 in newly diagnosed compared with chronic ITP. Thus, our data indicate that the two forms of the disease may be separate entities.
