Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
TLRs are considered important for innate immune responses that combat bacterial infections. Here, the role of TLRs in severe septic peritonitis using the colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) model was examined. We demonstrate that mice deficient for MyD88 and TRIF had markedly reduced bacterial numbers both in peritoneal cavity and peripheral blood, indicating that bacterial clearance in this model is inhibited by TLR signals. Moreover, survival of Myd88-/-;TrifLps2/Lps2 mice was significantly improved. The lack of TLR signals prevented the excessive induction of inflammatory cytokines and of IL 10. Notably, the expression of IFN-gamma, which has an essential protective role in septic peritonitis, and of IFN-regulated genes including several p47 and p65 GTPases as well as IP 10 was independent of TLR signaling. These results provide evidence that, in severe septic peritonitis, TLR deficiency balances the innate immune response in a favorable manner by attenuating deleterious responses such as excessive cytokine release, while leaving intact protective IFN-gamma production.

Description
Summary: The liver is the major site of gluconeogenesis, fat processing and distribution, as well as drug and xenobiotic metabolism. Altered gene expression in the liver is centrally invovled in both the immuosuppressive and the energetic actions of corticosteroids.

- Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Circadian rhythms are oscillations with a periodicity of 24 hours that are controlled by an endogenous clock and are observed in virtually all aspects of mammalian function from expression of genes to complex physiological processes. The master clock is present in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the anterior part of the hypothalamus and controls peripheral clocks present in other parts of the body . Although much is known about the mechanism of the central clock in the SCN, the regulation of clocks present in peripheral tissues is still unclear. This study is designed to examine fluctuations in gene expression in lungs within the 24 hour circadian cycle in normal animals. The objectives of this study is to identify and analyze circadian oscillation in gene expression in lungs, and to identify the role of circadian regulation in coordinating the functioning of this dynamic organ.

Description
Postnatal neural progenitors of the enteric nervous system are a potential source for future cell replacement therapies of developmental dysplasia like Hirschsprung's disease. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms driving the homeostasis and differentiation of this cell pool. In this work, we conducted Affymetrix gene chip experiments to identify differences in gene regulation between proliferation and early differentiation of enteric neural progenitors. We detected a total of 1333 regulated genes that were linked to different groups of cellular mechanisms involved in cell cycle, apoptosis, neural proliferation, and differentiation. As expected, we found a strong inhibition of cell cycle progression as well as an enhanced expression of neuronal and glial markers. We further found a marked inactivation of the canonical Wnt pathway during the beginning of cellular differentiation. Taken together, this data illustrated the various mechanisms taking place during the proliferation and early differentiation of enteric neural progenitor cells.
