Studies in rodents and newborn humans, demonstrate the influence of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in temperature control and energy balance, which also has a critical role in the regulation of body weight. Here, we obtained samples of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) from neonates, infants and children in order to compare the changes in gene expression with age
Gene pathway development in human epicardial adipose tissue during early life.

Influence of hyperthyroid conditions on gene expression in extraocular muscles of rats.

View SamplesExtraocular muscles (EOMs) are a highly specialized type of tissue with a wide range of unique properties, including characteristic innervation, development, and structural proteins. Even though EOMs are frequently and prominently involved in thyroid-associated diseases, little is known about the immediate effects of thyroid hormone on these muscles. In order to create a comprehensive profile of changes in gene expression levels in EOMs induced by thyroid hormone, hyperthyroid conditions were simulated by treating adult Sprague-Dawley rats with intraperitoneal injections of 25 g T3 per 100 g body weight over the course of six weeks; subsequently, microarray analysis was used to determine changes in mRNA levels in EOMs from T3-treated animals relative to untreated controls.

View SamplesMany symptoms associated with allergic asthma result from the sequelae of type 2 inflammation. Interleukin (IL)-25 promotes type 2 inflammatory responses, and T2M cells represent an IL-4 and IL-13 producing granulocytic IL-25 responsive population.
Interleukin-25 induces type 2 cytokine production in a steroid-resistant interleukin-17RB+ myeloid population that exacerbates asthmatic pathology.

View SamplesKnockdowns of c-JUN and JUND had opposite effects on PC3 prostate cell migration. We predicted that c-JUN and JUND control the same set of cell migration genes, but in opposite directions. To test this hypothesis, mRNA with expression changes in c-JUN and JUND knockdown PC3 cell lines were compared to mRNA levels in control (luciferase knockdown) PC3 cells by RNA-seq. Overall design: mRNA profiles of luciferase knockdown (WT), c-Jun knockdown, and Jun-D knockdown in PC3 cells were generated using deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq. Knockdowns were stable shRNA expression from a lentiviral construct selected with puromycin.
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling regulates the opposing roles of JUN family transcription factors at ETS/AP-1 sites and in cell migration.
