We performed gene expression profile of different B cell populations found in old (18 months old) C57BL/6 female mouse (B1 cells were recovered from both young and old C57BL/6 mice). Mice were nave and healthy (no autoimmunity was detected at the time of the experiment).
Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)-driven accumulation of a novel CD11c⁺ B-cell population is important for the development of autoimmunity.

View SamplesWe sought to identify genes regulated by the transcription factor Th-POK (Zbtb7b) in liver Va14i NKT cells, by RNA microarray analysis of global gene expression in Va14i NKT cells from mice homozygous for the Th-POK-inactivating hd point mutation as compared with the same cell population isolated from heterozygous or wild-type age-matched mice.
The transcription factor Th-POK negatively regulates Th17 differentiation in Vα14i NKT cells.

Microarray Analysis of Defective Cartilage in Hoxc8- and Hoxd4-Transgenic Mice.
Specimen part
View SamplesHomeobox genes of the Hox class are required for proper patterning of skeletal elements and play a role in cartilage differentiation. In transgenic mice with overexpression of Hoxc8 during cartilage development, we observed severe defects, namely physical instability of cartilage, accumulation of immature chondrocytes, and decreased maturation to hypertrophy. To define the molecular basis underlying these defects, we performed gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix microarray platform.

View SamplesLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological pathways. Unlike protein coding genes, where methods to comprehensibly study their functional roles in cellular systems are available, techniques to systematically investigate lncRNAs have largely remained unexplored. Here, we report a technology for combined Knockdown and Localization Analysis of Non-coding RNAs (c-KLAN) that merges phenotypic characterization and localization approaches to study lncRNAs. Using a library of endoribonuclease prepared short interfering RNAs (esiRNAs) coupled with a pipeline for synthesizing labeled riboprobes for RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we demonstrate the utility of c-KLAN by identifying a novel transcript Panct1 (Pluripotency associated non-coding transcript 1) that regulates embryonic stem cell identity. We postulate that c-KLAN should be generally useful in the discovery of lncRNAs implicated in various biological processes.

View SamplesEndothelin-1 (ET-1) plays a critical role in connective tissue remodeling by fibroblasts during tissue repair and fibrosis. We investigated the molecular pathways in the transmission of ET-1 signals that lead to features of connective tissue remodeling, in particular the role of FAK (focal adhesion kinase).
Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase prevents experimental lung fibrosis and myofibroblast formation.
