How neurons are wired to form precise circuits is crucial to understand the development of cortical functions. Glutamatergic pyramidal cell and GABAergic interneuron wire up the cortex through differentiated cellular events. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underlie the unique features of interneuron wiring.

View SamplesIt is unknown how soon the diaphragm begins to start the process of atrophy following the start of MV. We hypothesized that genes responsible for maintaining diaphragmatic contractile function, stress response, energy transduction would be altered over the course of a 5 hour cardiothoracic surgery.

View SamplesPurpose: Aim of the study is to identify changes in hepatic gene expression induced by either a 40kcal% coconut oil rich high fat diet (HFD), a 40kcal% soybean oil plus coconut oil high fat diet (SO-HFD) or a low fat vivarium chow diet (Viv). Methods: Livers from mice that had been fed one of the above mentioned diets for 35 weeks, were used to make cDNA libraries that were then sent for deep sequencing, using the Illumina TruSeq RNA. Result: Many genes involved in metabolism, lipid binding, transport and storage and many Cyp genes are dysregulated in the two high fat diets as compared to Viv HFDs in SO-HFD mice. Comparing the two HFDs shows more metabolism and disease related genes dysregulated in SO-HFD vs HFD. Conclusion: A diet high in soybean oil may be more detrimental to metabolic health than a diet high in saturated fats. Overall design: cDNA isolated from livers from mice fed HFD, SO-HFD or Viv for 35 weeks, were 50bp pair-ended sequenced in triplicate using Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep v2 Kit.

View SamplesFor placental mammals, the transition from the in utero maternal environment to postnatal life requires the activation of thermogenesis to maintain their core temperature. This is primarily accomplished by induction of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown and beige adipocytes, the principal sites for uncoupled respiration. Despite its importance, how placental mammals license their thermogenic adipocytes to participate in postnatal uncoupled respiration is not known. Here, we provide evidence that the 'alarmin' IL-33, a nuclear cytokine that activates type 2 immune responses, licenses brown and beige adipocytes for uncoupled respiration. We find that, in absence of IL-33 or ST2, beige and brown adipocytes develop normally but fail to express an appropriately spliced form of Ucp1 mRNA, resulting in absence of UCP1 protein, and impairment in uncoupled respiration and thermoregulation. Together, these data suggest that IL-33 and ST2 function as a developmental switch to license thermogenesis during the perinatal period. Overall design: mRNA profiles of brown adipose tissues and inguinal white adipose tissues from postnatal day 0.5 and 24, respectively, WT and IL-33 knockout mice.

View SamplesPsoriasin (S100A7) has been shown to be highly expressed in invasive estrogen receptor negative breast cancers. Expression of S100A7 in human breast tumors represents a poor prognostic marker and correlates with lymphocyte infiltration in high-grade morphology. Recent studies have shown that S100A7 downregulation in ER- cells lines inhibits tumor growth in in vivo mouse model systems. However, not much is known about its mechanisms in regulating breast cancers.
