Sex differences in rat adrenal cortex are manifested as larger adrenal volume of cortex and higher corticosterone secretion by females compared with males. The molecular bases of these sex related differences are poorly understood.

View SamplesThe hst3hst4 strain (FY background) has the HST3 and HST4 genes, encoding putative NAD-dependent deacetylases that regulate histone 3 K56 acetylation, deleted. Expression profiling using Affymetrix microarrays was used to assess the change in the gene expression in this strain in comparison to wild-type under normal growth conditions.
Histone H3 K56 hyperacetylation perturbs replisomes and causes DNA damage.

View SamplesOT-1 Transgenic CD8 T-cells were isolated from spleens of WT, PKC theta KO, and p50 cRel DKO mice. The T-cells were either cultured with non-pulsed DC (WT only and signified as "WT - UN") or with BMDCs pulsed with the OVA peptide SIINFEKL (N4) (WT, PKC theta KO, and p50 cRel DKO and signified as 'genotype - N4') at a ratio of 1:10 (DC:T-cell) for 18 hours. DCs then were depleted from the culture and RNA was made from the T-cells to measure gene expression at the early / late stage of T-cell activation

DIDO as a Switchboard that Regulates Self-Renewal and Differentiation in Embryonic Stem Cells.
Specimen part
View SamplesTransition from symmetric to asymmetric cell division requires precise coordination of differential gene expression. Embryonic stem cells (ESC) strongly express Dido3, whose C-terminal truncation impedes ESC differentiation while retaining self-renewal. We show that Dido3 binds to its gene locus via H3K4me3 and RNA pol II and, at differentiation onset, induces expression of its splice variant Dido1, which then leads to Dido3 degradation and downregulation of stemness genes. We propose that Dido isoforms act as a switchboard to regulate genetic programs for ESC transition from pluripotency maintenance to promotion of differentiation.

View SamplesExperience-dependent plasticity (EDP) is essential for anatomical and functional maturation of sensory circuits during development and can be readily studied is the rodent barrel cortex. Using this model we aimed to uncover changes on the transcriptome level and applied RNA sequencing upon altered sensory experience in juvenile mice in a cortical column and layer specific manner. From column- and layer-specific barrel cortical tissue, high quality RNA was purified and sequenced. The current dataset entails an average of 50 million paired-end reads per sample, 75 base pairs in length. Overall design: Wild type mice were deprived of their C-row whiskers from P12 until P23-P24, after which acute brain slices were prepared and tissues were excised from L2/3 and L4 from specific barrel columns. RNA isolated from these tissue sections was then subjected to RNA-sequencing.
