The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of fish oil-derived n-3 PUFA therapy, which had statistically and clinically significant beneficial effects on muscle mass and strength, on skeletal muscle gene expression profile.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to conduct a randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a high-protein (HP) diet weight loss (WL) on changes in body composition, insulin sensitivity and skeletal muscle gene expression profile in postmenopausal women who were obese and randomized to one of three dietary intervention groups: 1) a weight maitenance group, 2) a weight loss group (normal protein intake, 0.8 g protein/kg body weight per day) and 3) a weight loss group (high protein intake, 1.2 g protein/kg body weight per day) and studies before and after they lost 10% of their body weight (WL groups) or a time-matched weight maintenacne period.

View SamplesWe aim to understand the role that Cdx2 plays in specifying the rostro-caudal identity of differentiating motor neurons. We find that expressing Cdx2 in combination with FGF signaling is sufficient to produce motor neurons with a more caudal identity. ChIP-seq analysis of Cdx2 finds that it binds extensively throughout the Hox regions in progenitor motor neurons. Analysis of polycomb-associated chromatin over Hox regions in the subsequently generated motor neurons finds that Cdx2 binding corresponds to chromatin domains encompassing de-repressed caudal Hox genes. These results suggest a direct role for Cdx2 in specifying caudal motor neuron identity.

View SamplesSuz12(Bgal/Bgal) ESCs express a truncated form of Suz12 fused to Beta-galactosidase. These cells maintain a reduced level of H3K27me3 despite this mutation to a core component of PRC2, unlike Eed-/- ESCs whose H3K27me3 is ablated. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed in wild type and Suz12(Bgal/Bgal) ESCs, here used to demonstrate the coverage of the Suz12 gene in mRNA reads.

View SamplesFlower maturation consists of several events that contribute to reproductive success as flowers open, including petal expansion, stamen filament elongation, pollen release, nectary maturation, stigma growth, and gynoecium maturation to support pollen tube growth. The Arabidopsis transcription factors ARF6 (Auxin Response Factor 6) and ARF8 regulate all of these processes, in part by activating jasmonate biosynthesis. Jasmonates in turn activate genes encoding the transcription factors MYB21 and MYB24, which mediate a subset of the processes controlled by ARF6 and ARF8. This experiment was designed to characterize gene expression in flowers before and after they open, and to determine how arf6 arf8 and myb21 myb24 mutation combinations affect these gene expression patterns.

View SamplesMammalian lung development is a complex morphogenetic process, which initiates near mid-gestation and continues through early postnatal life. The lung arises as two lateral buds that emerge from the ventral foregut endoderm at ~ 9 days after fertilization (in mouse) and undergo numerous rounds of dichotomous branching to form the bronchial tree. This stage of development is referred to as the pseudoglandular phase, histologically characterized by loose mesenchyme surrounding undifferentiated epithelial tubes.
