Analysis of expression changes in renal collecting duct epithelial cells by adenoviral mediated Krppel like transcription factor 5 (KLF5) overexpression. KLF5 is a key regulator of static and inflammatory stage in renal collecting duct epithelial cells. We thought these results provide insights into downstream genes of KLF5 in renal collecting duct epithelial cells.

View SamplesAnalysis of class switch recombination, maturation or differenciation of B cells at gene expression levels. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that TLR signaling in B cells plays an pivotal role for class switch, maturation and differenciation. Overall design: Total RNA obtained from cultured splenic B cells. Gene expression compared between control and cKO B cells.

View SamplesICR-derived glomerulonephritis (ICGN) mice is a novel inbred strain of mice with a hereditary nephrotic syndrome. Deletion mutation of tensin 2 (Tns2), a focal adhesion molecule, has been suggested to be responsible for nephrotic syndrome in ICGN mice, however, existence of other associative factors has been suggested. To identify additional associative factors and to better understand onset mechanism of nephrotic syndrome in ICGN mice, comprehensive gene expression analysis using DNA microarray was conducted. Immune-related pathways were markedly altered in ICGN mice kidney as compared with ICR mice. Furthermore, gene expression level of complement component 1, s subcomponent (C1s), whose human homologue has been reported to associate with lupus nephritis, was markedly low in ICGN mice kidney.
Gene expression analysis detected a low expression level of C1s gene in ICR-derived glomerulonephritis (ICGN) mice.

View SamplesWe performed the newly mapping of genome-wide NFATc1 binding events in VEGF-stimulated primary cultured endothelial cells, by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). Combined NFATc1 ChIP-seq profile and the epigenetic histone marks revealed that predominant NFATc1-occupied peaks were overlapped with promoter marking but not silencer marking. DNA microarrays with NFATc1 expression or knockdown indicated the predominant NFATc1 binding targets were correlated with induced patterns.

View SamplesKlf5 has essential functions during early embryogenesis and in the derivation of ES cells from inner-cell mass of blastocyst. Among Kruppel-like factor (Klf) family members, only Klf5 shows peri-implantation lethal phenotype, but the precise mechanisms still remain unknown. To understand and identify molecular mechanisms, we performed microarray analysis by using E3.0 WT and Klf5 KO embryos when first phenotype of Klf5 deficiency appears.

View SamplesSetdb1 is one of the H3K9 methyltransferases and represses gene expression by H3K9 methylation. In an attempt to elucidate the role of Setdb1 in the TLR4-mediated inflammatory responses, we performed DNA microarray analysis using lipid A (the active component of LPS)-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from macrophage specific Setdb1 KO (KO) and WT mice.

We perfomed microarray analysis using peritoneal macrophages stimulated with TDM, a mycobacterial cell wall glycolipid that is known to be a Mincle ligand.

View SamplesRetinoid X receptor (RXR)-gamma is a nuclear receptor-type transcription factor expressed mostly in the skeletal muscle, and regulated by nutritional conditions. Previously, we established transgenic mice overexpressing RXR-gamma in the skeletal muscle (RXR-gamma mice), which showed lower blood glucose than the control mice. We used microarrays to investigate their glucose metabolism gene expression change.
