View SamplesIsogenic UPF1+ or upf1- yeast strains were treated with 10 ug/ml thiolutin to inhibit global transcription. Targets were obtained from 16 time points: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60 minutes after transcription inhibition. Three biological replicates of each were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix YG-S98 arrays. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with differential expression over time between UPF1+ and upf1-.

View SamplesRat mammary glands were obtained from individual rats in RXR treated (a) and control (b) conditions (12 rats in each condition). The 24 samples were hybridized individually. Also, in each condition, samples were combined into different pools of 2, pools of 3, pools of 12. Technical replicates were also run.

View SamplesTransgenic animals were engineered to express human amyloid peptide controlled by a muscle-specific, heat-inducible promoter. At low temperatures (16C) Abeta expression is minimal, while at higher temperatures (20-25C) Abeta accummulates in large quantities and causes paralysis.

View SamplesNuclear receptor subfamily 1, group D, member 1 (Nr1d1) (also known as Rev-erb alpha) has been linked to circadian rhythm regulation, mood-related behavior, and disorders associated with social deficits. Recent work from our laboratory found striking decreases in Nr1d1 in nucleus accumbens (NAc) in the maternal condition and indirect evidence that Nr1d1 was interacting with numerous addiction and reward-related genes to modulate social reward. In this study, we applied our insights from the maternal state to non-parental adult mice to determine whether decreases in Nr1d1 expression in NAc via adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors and short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated gene knockdown were sufficient to modulate social reward and mood-related behaviors. We also used microarray analysis of to identify gene expression alterations induced by the lowering of Nr1d1 expression.

View SamplesEarly life respiratory viral infections and atopic characteristics are significant risk factors for the development of childhood asthma. It is hypothesized that repeated respiratory viral infections might induce structural remodeling by interfering with the normal process of lung maturation; however, the specific molecular processes that mediate these developments are not understood. To define relevant molecular pathways, we used a well-established Sendai virus infection model in weanling rats to compare transcriptome signatures between a post-infection asthma prone susceptible strain (BN) and a post-infection asthma resistant strain (F344). Specific to this weanling model and not described in adult models, Sendai virus infection in the susceptible strain resulted in morphological abnormalities in distal airways that persist into adulthood, suggesting a disruption of normal lung growth. Gene expression data from infected and control lungs across five time points indicated that specific features of the immune response following viral infection were heightened and prolonged in lungs from BN compared with F344 rats. These features included an increase in macrophage cell number and related gene expression, which then transitioned to an increase in mast cell number and related gene expression. In contrast to the heightened immune response in infected BN lungs, infected F344 lungs displayed more efficient re-epithelialization. We conclude that the structural defects that developed and persisted in infected BN but not F344 lungs were preceded by a pronounced macrophage and mast cell response to viral infection acting in parallel with an inadequate re-epithelialization.
