M cells are the main site of bacterial translocation in the intestine. We used the in vitro M cell model to study the effect of the commensal bacteria; Lactobacillus salivarius, Eschericha coli and Bacteroides fragilis, on M cell gene expression.

View SamplesThe goal of the study was to understand how integrin beta1 expressed in epithelial cells directs developmental angiogenesis. Integrin beta1 was deleted specifically in the pituitary glands of embryonic mice. RNA was isolated from knockout and WT control pituitaries dissected at e12.5, one day prior to the initiation of developmental angiogenesis. Overall design: RNA from the e12.5 pituitaries of 3 WT and 2 KO littermate embryos was profiled.
Epithelial cell integrin β1 is required for developmental angiogenesis in the pituitary gland.

View SamplesAging 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.

View SamplesL-Arginine (L-Arg) is the substrate for both inducible nitric oxide synthase and arginase, which are upregulated in human IBD and in mouse colitis models. We have found that L-Arg supplementation enhances wound restitution in vitro, and improves the clinical parameters of weight loss, survival, and colon weight/length, in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced murine colitis. Our aim was to further identify the potential mechanisms underlying the clinical benefit of L-Arg supplementation.

View SamplesCytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis is a key event for the death of pancreatic beta cells in the development of type-1 diabetes. We identified BRD0476 as a novel suppressor of cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis.

View SamplesPatients with chronic illnesses such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) often have reduced quality of life. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain/discomfort associated with altered bowel function, such as diarrhea or constipation, without gross structural changes or inflammation [1]; IBD is characterized by gross inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract which can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea and bloody stools. IBS and IBD can profoundly affect quality of life and are influenced by stress and resiliency.The impact of mind-body interventions (MBIs) on IBS and IBD patients has not previously been examined. In this study IBS and IBD patients were enrolled in a 9-week relaxation response based mind-body group intervention (RR-MBI), focusing on elicitation of the RR and cognitive skill building. We performed Peripheral blood transcriptome analysis to identify genomic correlates of the RR-MBI.

View SamplesThe objective of this study was to determine the effects of LANA on the expressions of the cellular genes. Overall design: BJAB cells were transduced with lentiviral vector expressing LANA or the control vector, total RNA was extracted for the detection of relative expression of cellular genes in LANA expressing cells.
KSHV LANA upregulates the expression of epidermal growth factor like domain 7 to promote angiogenesis.
