BackgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) is sometimes accompanied by accelerated coagulability, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory responses, which are not attributable to the cardiac events alone. We hypothesized that the liver plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of ACS. We simultaneously analyzed the gene expression profiles of the liver and heart during acute myocardial ischemia in mice.
Altered hepatic gene expression profiles associated with myocardial ischemia.

View SamplesThe liver may regulate glucose homeostasis by modulating the sensitivity/resistance of peripheral tissues to insulin, by way of the production of secreted proteins, termed hepatokines.
A liver-derived secretory protein, selenoprotein P, causes insulin resistance.

View SamplesBCAA were administered to atherogenic and high-fat (Ath & HF) diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model mice and platelet-derived growth factor C transgenic mice (Pdgf-c Tg). Liver histology, tumor incidence, and gene expression profiles were evaluated.

View SamplesWe created a rat sugar cataract model and examined the effects of various inhibitors on lens clouding. Lenses were removed from 6-week-old SD rats and cultured in M199 medium containing 30 mM galactose.

View SamplesTo understand the molecular mechanism by which regulate skeletal development, we attempted to identify transcription factors that were highly expressed in developing cartilage during the embryonic stage.
The transcription factor Foxc1 is necessary for Ihh-Gli2-regulated endochondral ossification.
Specimen part
View SamplesThe early blood vessels of the embryo and yolk sac in mammals develop by aggregation of de novo forming angioblasts into a primitive vascular plexus, which then undergoes a complex remodeling process. Angiogenesis is also important for disease progression in the adult. However, the precise molecular mechanism of vascular development remains unclear.

TET2 repression by androgen hormone regulates global hydroxymethylation status and prostate cancer progression.
Specimen part, Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men. We identified that miR-29 family is the most androgen-responsive miRNA in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cells. For the screening of miR-29b target, we performed microarray analysis in two prostate cancer cells. Because TET2 is the primary target of miR-29 family by our analysis, we also performed TET2 signaling by microarray.

View SamplesWe performed global scale microarray analysis to identify detailed mechanisms by which nonpermissive temperature induces cell growth arrest and differentiation in astrocyte RCG-12 cells harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen by using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Astrocyte RCG-12 cells used in this study were derived from primary cultured rat cortical glia cells infecting with a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen. Although the cells grew continuously at the permissive temperature, the nonpermissive temperature led to cell growth arrest and differentiation. Of the 15,923 probe sets analyzed, nonpermissive temperature differentially expressed 556 probe sets by >2.0-fold.
