IL-1R-associated kinases (IRAKs) participate in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signal transduction. MALP-2 is a TLR2 ligand, and stimulation of macrophages with MALP-2 activates expression of various genes including proinflammatory cytokines.
Sequential control of Toll-like receptor-dependent responses by IRAK1 and IRAK2.

View SamplesPolarization of macrophages to M1 or M2 cells is important for mounting responses against bacterial and helminth infection respectively. Jumonji domain containing 3 (JMJD3), a histone 3 K27 demethylase, has been implicated in the activation of macrophages. Here we show that JMJD3 is essential for M2 macrophage polarization to helminth infection and chitin, though JMJD3 is dispensable for M1 responses. Furthermore, Jmjd3 is critical for proper bone marrow macrophage differentiation in a demethylase activity-dependent manner. Jmjd3 deficiency affected trimethylation of H3K27 in only a limited numbers of genes. Among them, we identified Irf4 as the target transcription factor critical for controlling M2 macrophage polarization. Collectively, these results show that JMJD3-mediated H3K27 demethylation is critical for regulating M2 macrophage development leading to anti-helminth host responses.
The Jmjd3-Irf4 axis regulates M2 macrophage polarization and host responses against helminth infection.

View SamplesTreatment of DBA/2J mice with a combination of L-methionine and valproic acid significantly attenuated progressive hearing loss. We examined gene expression in the whole cochlea of the mice. This study was aimed to detect genes of which change in expression levels were associated with attenuation of progressive hearing loss in the mice.
Attenuation of progressive hearing loss in DBA/2J mice by reagents that affect epigenetic modifications is associated with up-regulation of the zinc importer Zip4.

View SamplesLiver global gene expression patterns of 9 GNMT-knockout mice histopathologically determined to have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) together with 10 MAT1A-knockout mice histopathologically determined to have steatosis and NASH. All these have their respective wild type patterns. These were analyzed to define signatures to study the pathogenesis of NAFLD-derived HCC, explore which subtypes of cancers can be investigated using mouse models and define a signature of HCC differential survival that can be used to characterize HCC subtypes of different survival derived from mixed etiologies.

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to examine the role of indigenous lactobacilli in the physiological development of the stomach in mice using microarray analysis. In lactobacilli-associated gnotobiotic mice, an increased expression of the genes related to the muscle system development, such as nebulin and troponin, was observed. On the other hand, the expression of the gastrin gene dramatically decreased. A microarray analysis of the stomachs infected with H. pylori also showed both the up-regulation of muscle cell genes and the down-regulation of gastrin genes.

View SamplesAquaporin-11 (AQP11), a new member of the aquaporin family, is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Aqp11/ mice neonatally suffer from polycystic kidneys derived from the proximal tubule. Its onset is proceeded by the vacuolization of ER. However, the mechanism for the formation of vacuoles and the development of cysts remain to be clarified. Here, we show that Aqp11/ mice and polycystic kidney disease animals share a common pathogenic mechanism of cyst formation.
