Transcriptome of beta-cells isolated from mice expressing p16ink4a and GFP transgenes and of control ß-cells isolated from mice expressing only the GFP transgene Overall design: RNAseq of murine beta-cells sorted based on GFP expression from three Ins-rtTA/tet-GFP/tet-p16ink4a mice and two control Ins-rtTA/tet-GFP mice following 10 days tet-mediated induction.

View SamplesDual oxidases play a role in innate host defense at barrier epithelia. We examined the effect of loss of dual oxidase function (duoxa-/-) on gene expression in the mouse terminal ileum at homeostasis. To control for cage/litter effects, duoxa-/- were cohoused with wild type littermate controls.

View SamplesMolecular heterogeneity among spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in the mouse cochlea was investigated in two genetic backgrounds: 1) wildtype, 2) Vglut3-/-, which lack inner hair cell-driven glutamatergic activation of SGNs. Overall design: Individual spiral-ganglion neurons expressing the fluorescent reporter tdTomato were dissociated and manually placed into PCR tubes; single-cell libraries were made by the Smart-seq2 approach; sequencing was done using the NextSeq platform (Illumina) at an average read depth of 4.5 million; bioinformatic analysis was conducted in R. Genotypes: bhlhb5::cre/+; Ai14/+ (wildtype) and bhlhb5::cre/+;Ai14/+; Vglut3-/- (Vglut3-/-). Age: P25-P27

Drosophila larvae fed palm fruit juice (PFJ) delay pupation via expression regulation of hormetic stress response genes linked to ageing and longevity.

View SamplesPFJ (4 ml for a final concentration of 19,000 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per kg diet or 0.86 mg GAE per kcal diet) was supplemented to larvae of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) given a semi-purified diet to observe for possible effects on energy metabolism and lifespan. Larvae were used five days since the egg stage for gene expression studies. Results from the microarray data analysis carried out show that fruit fly larvae given PFJ had up-regulated transport and metabolic processes, while development and morphogenesis processes were down-regulated.

Fat bodies extracted from these larvae were used five days since the egg stage for gene expression studies. Results from the microarray data analysis carried out show that fruit fly larva fat bodies given PFJ had up-regulated heat shock protein genes, while cell cycle and growth genes were down-regulated.

View SamplesGut dysbiosis is closely involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it remains unclear whether IBD-associated gut dysbiosis plays a primary role in disease manifestation or is merely secondary to intestinal inflammation. Here, we established a humanized gnotobiotic (hGB) mouse system to assess the functional role of gut dysbiosis associated with two types of IBD - Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).

View SamplesBackground :To evaluate the impact of the duration of chronic inflammation on gene expression in skeletal muscle biopsies (MBx) from untreated children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and identify genes and biological processes associated with the disease progression, expression profiling data from 16 girls with active symptoms of JDM greater or equal to 2 months were compared with 3 girls with active symptoms less than 2 months.

View SamplesThe Hippo pathway is an emerging signaling cascade involved in the regulation of organ size control. It consists of evolutionally conserved protein kinases that are sequentially phosphorylated and activated. The active Hippo pathway subsequently phosphorylates a transcription coactivator, YAP, which precludes its nuclear localization and transcriptional activation. Identification of transcriptional targets of YAP in diverse cellular contexts is therefore critical to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms in which the Hippo pathway restricts tissue growth.
Hippo signaling regulates microprocessor and links cell-density-dependent miRNA biogenesis to cancer.
