High dietary fat intake is a major risk factor for the development of obesity, which is frequently associated with diabetes. To identify genes involved in diabetic nephropathy, GeneChip Expression Analysis was employed to survey the glomerular gene expression profile in diabetic KK/Ta mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD).

View SamplesWe noticed that ThPOK repression is readily abrogated upon in vitro TCR stimulation of peripheral CD8 T cells. This observation prompted us to investigate a role of ThPOK in the CD8 T cell response to an acute viral infection. We observed that clonal expansion is significantly less in both primary and secondary CD8 T cell responses in the absence of functional ThPOK. To approach this mechanism, we carried out a microarray analysis for comparison of gene expression between ThPOKhd/hd and ThPOKwt/wt P14 memory T cells.
ThPOK derepression is required for robust CD8 T cell responses to viral infection.

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.

View SamplesProphase I of meiosis involves dynamic chromosome segregation processes including synapsis, meiotic recombination, and cohesion. Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss in humans, we performed expression profiling of male and female gonads of mice undergoing meiotic prophase I.

View SamplesAnalysis of Foxp3(+)epigenetics(-) T cells, Foxp3(-)epigenetics(+) T cells, and Foxp3(+)epigenetics(+) T cells. Results indicate regulatory T cell (Treg) ontogenesis requires two independent processes, expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 and establishment of Treg epigenetic programs induced by T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation.
T cell receptor stimulation-induced epigenetic changes and Foxp3 expression are independent and complementary events required for Treg cell development.

View SamplesThe recent interest in the role of bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells in the benefits of estrogen on cardiovascular health brought us to evaluate if estrogen could affect cardiac repair more broadly by regulating biological processes involved in the functional organization of the bone marrow stem cell niche.

View SamplesActivation of oncogenic ras pathway accounts for up to 90% low-grade superficial urothelial carcinomas of bladder, and p53 deficiency is very common in high-grade muscle invasive carcinomas. These two pathways in bladder urothelial tumorigenesis used to be considered divergent and their potential collaboration has not been illustrated.
