Understanding the molecular mechanisms defining and maintaining the identity of a specific neuronal cell type is a central goal in neuroscience. The vomeronasal organ (VNO) of mice contains hundreds of distinct vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs). The VSNs are classified into two major cell types that are segregated in apical and basal regions of the VNO, express vomeronasal receptors of different superfamilies, and send axons to different portions of the accessory olfactory bulb. How apical or basal identity of VSNs is established and maintained is largely unknown. Here we attempt to assess the role of a single transcription factor, AP-2, in the VNO of mice.

View SamplesIn eukaryotic organisms gene regulatory networks require an additional level of coordination that links transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Messenger RNAs have traditionally been viewed as passive molecules in the pathway from transcription to translation. However, it is now clear that RNA-binding proteins play a major role in regulating multiple mRNAs in order to facilitate gene expression patterns. These tracks show the associated mRNAs that co-precipitated with the targeted RNA-binding proteins HuR, IMP-1 and PABP using RIP-Chip (Ribonomic) profiling

View SamplesThrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) is an anti-angiogenic matricellular protein with regulatory functions in inflammation and cancer. The type 1 repeats (TSR) domains of TSP-1 have been shown to interact with a wide range of proteins that result in the anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties of TSP-1. To evaluate potential therapeutic effects of TSRs in inflammatory bowel disease, we conducted clinical, histological and gene microarray analyses on a mouse model of induced colitis.

Comparisons between each treatment group provides evidence for the dysregulation of genes associated with the spindle assembly checkpoint.

View SamplesBy using a model of inflammation-induced carcinogenesis the effects of TSP-1 in induced tumors were analyzed. Mice received a single injection of azoxymethane (AOM) and multiple cycles of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) for inducing chronic inflammation-related cancers. Proliferation and angiogenesis status were analyzed as well as their transcript profile by using a gene microarray approach.
