We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in the liver of wild-type C57BL-6 mice exposed to a high-fat diet that might have been caused by the oral consumption of the probiotic B. pseudocatenulatum CECT 7765.

View Samples8 week old rats injected with streptozotocin or buffer alone at age of 8 weeks, heart obtained at 12 weeks (thus animals were diabetic for 4 weeks). Left vent of heart.

View SamplesEffect of type 1 diabetes (induced by streptozotocin 60 mg/kg) on lung gene expression. Wistar rats, male. At age 8 weeks control rats got IP buffer, diabetic rats got streptozotocin. At age 12 weeks animals were anesthetized and lungs removed. RNA was extracted with Trizol, and gene expression array analysis was performed using Affymetrix RAE 230A microarrays according to the directions from the manufacturer. Arrays were scanned using a Hewlett Packard Gene Array scanner, and analyzed with Affymetrix MAS 5.0 software. Expression levels reported are the output from the MAS software.

View SamplesAuxin is a key phytohormone regulating central processes in plants that include embryo development, lateral root growth and flower maturation among others. Auxin is sensed by a set of F-Box proteins of the TIR1/AFB3 family triggering auxin dependent responses by a pathway that involves an interplay between the Aux/IAA transcription repressors and the ARF transcription factors. We have previously shown that the AFB3 auxin receptor has a specific role in coordinating primary and lateral root growth to external and internal nitrate availability (Vidal et al., 2010). In this work, we used an integrated genomics, bioinformatics and molecular genetics approach to dissect regulatory networks acting downstream AFB3 that are activated by a transient nitrate treatment in Arabidopsis roots. Our systems approach unraveled key components of the AFB3 regulatory network leading to changes in lateral root growth in response to nitrate.
Systems approaches map regulatory networks downstream of the auxin receptor AFB3 in the nitrate response of Arabidopsis thaliana roots.

View SamplesVaccinia virus infection of mouse lungs produces a focal infection within the lung remaining at the large bronchi throughout the course of infection. Animals die of respiratory failure with little edema and few infiltrating immune cells. It is well established that poxviruses control the host immune system by encoding multiple host defense pathway antagonists.

View SamplesEfforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.
Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in primate taste buds reveals links to diverse processes.
