Gan mice express Wnt1, Ptgs2, and Ptges, which develop inflammation-associated gastric tumors (Oshima et al, Gastroenterology 131: 1086, 2006). We examined the role of MyD88 in tumorigenesis by construction of Myd88-/- Gan mice and bone marrow transplantation into Gan mice from Myd88-/- mice. Overall design: Total RNA was prepared from wild-type normal glandular stomach (n=3: WT 1–WT 3), B6 C2mE mice (n=3: C2mE 1–C2mE 3), B6 Gan mice (n=3: Gan1–Gan3), B6 Gan MyD88-/- mice (n=3: Gan 1 (MyD88-/-)–Gan 3 (MyD88-/-)), and B6 bone marrow transplanted Gan mice from Myd88-/- mice (n=3: BMT-Gan 1 (from MyD88-/-)–BMT-Gan 3 (from MyD88-/-)). We used Illumina HiSeq 2000, and examined expression profiles.

View SamplesNoxo1, a component of NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) complex, is upregulated in gastric cancer cells in a inflammation-dependent manner, and plays an important role in tumorigenesis (Oncogene, 33: 3820, 2014). To examine the mechanism of NOX1/ROS signaling in tumorigenesis, MKN45 gastric cancer cells were treated with apocynin, an inhibitor for NOX, and their gene expression was examined by RNA sequencing. Based on expression data, Sox2 was shown to be suppressed by apocynin, suggesting a role of Sox2 in a inflammation-associated gastric tumorigenesis. Overall design: Total mRNA expression profiles of Apocynin administrated MKN45 in 2 trials.

View SamplesAnalysis of livers of male and female B6C3F1 mice exposed to prototype treatments from five classes of model hepatotoxicants. These hepatotoxicants include compounds that activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), induce the inflammatory response, activate the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), stimulate the hypoxia signal transduction pathway, and activate the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). The results provide insights into the shared and unique pathways that are activated across these model hepatotoxicants.

View SamplesMany environmentally-relevant chemicals and drugs activate the nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR). Activation of PXR can lead to increases in liver weight in part through hepatocyte replication similar to a large number of compounds that activate other nuclear receptors such as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha and the constitutive activated receptor (CAR). PXR controls the expression of a large battery of genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism. Identification of genes that are accurate predictors of PXR activation would be useful in high-throughput screens to assess potential toxicity and drug-drug interactions. Here, we identified PXR-dependent genes in the mouse liver after exposure to pregnenolone 16alpha-carbinonitrile (PCN), a chemical that is often used as a model PXR agonist.

View SamplesApc(D716) mutant mice develop benign intestinal adenoma, while Apc(D716) and p53 R270H compound mutant mice develop invasive adenocarcinoma in the intestine. We examined expression profile of tumor-derived organoids using Apc(D716), Apc(D716) p53 Null, Apc(D716) p53 R270H mutant mice by RNA sequencing, and identified mutant p53-induced gene set. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from Apc(D716) p53(+/+) tumor organoids, Apc(D716) p53(flox/flox) tumor organoids, and Apc(D716) p53(M/M) tumor organoids. For each genotype, two mice were used and organoids were prepared independently. p53(flox) allele is null mutation, whereas p53(M) allele carrys R270H mutation. We used Illumina HiSeq 2500, and examined expression profiles.

View SamplesTo investigate why dipeptides accumulate in immature CML cells, we examined upstream gene expression patterns. We isolated the most primitive long-term stem cells, short-term stem cells, and KLS- progenitor cells from healthy littermate control and CML-affected mice and performed gene expression profiling using next-generation RNA-sequencing. Overall design: Gene expression profiles of the most primitive long-term (LT) stem cells (CD150+CD48-CD135-KLS+ cells), short-term (ST) stem cells (CD150-CD48-CD135- KLS+ cells), and KLS- progenitor cells from healthy littermate control and CML-affected mice

View SamplesHair follicle (HF) regeneration begins when communication between quiescent epithelial stem cells (SCs) and underlying mesenchymal dermal papillae (DP) generates sufficient activating cues to overcome repressive BMP signals from surrounding niche cells. We uncovered a hitherto unrecognized DP transmitter, TGF2, which activates Smad2/3 transiently in HFSCs concomitant with entry into tissue regeneration.

View SamplesThe many steps involved in the production of a mature mammalian mRNA are extensively coupled, and levels of both precursors and products can be measured using expression and genomic tiling microarrays. Different probes in these arrays targeting the same transcript often give different signals; then, precursor (nascent) RNA which is present transiently at low concentrations is difficult to detect.
