ob/ob mice is an obese mice. CIDE family proteins including Cidea, Cideb and Cidec play important role in lipid metabolism. Cidea is mainly expressed in the brown adipose tissue (BAT). Cidec is mainly expressed in the BAT and white adipose tissue (WAT). We generated ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice to investigate the phenotype of fat tissue. ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice are lean when compared with ob/ob mice. The tissue weight and TAG content of BAT and WAT was extreamly decreased in ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice compared with that in ob/ob mice.

View SamplesWe performed a zebrafish forward genetic screen by Tol2 mediated gene-trap approach and uncovered one mutant stac (The number of the transgenic line: B55) that showed severe cell-death distributed in the various brain and trunk in the homozygote embryos. Analysis of stac homozygous embryos demonstrates typical apoptosis. So it is necessary to analyze whether the apoptosis and cell cycle regulated signaling transductions are changed in the mutant, in order to provide valuable clues to some other species. And the up-regulated and down-regulated genes in the mutant compared to the WT were examined by zebrafish cDNA microarray.

View SamplesIsoleucine (Ile) is one of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that are essential substrates for protein synthesis in all organisms. In this study, we characterized an Arabidopsis mutant, lib (low isoleucine biosynthesis), that has defects in both cell proliferation and cell expansion processes during root development. This mutant carries a mutation in OMR1 gene that encodes a threonine deaminase/dehydratase (TD) which results in a defect in isoleucine production. Microarray analysis indicated that the partial deficiency of Ile in the lib mutant triggers a decrease in transcript levels of the genes encoding the major enzymes involved in the BCAA degradation pathway; the analysis also indicated that many genes involved in the biosynthesis of methionine-derived glucosinolates are up-regulated.
Partial deficiency of isoleucine impairs root development and alters transcript levels of the genes involved in branched-chain amino acid and glucosinolate metabolism in Arabidopsis.

View SamplesClioquinol (CQ or iodochlorhydroxyquin, 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline) is a hydrophobic chelator of copper, zinc, and iron. It was extensively used as an antibiotic for the treatment of diarrhea and skin infection in the mid-1900s, but then withdrawn because it was reported to be associated with subacute myelo-optic neuropathy (SMON) in Japan. Interest in this drug was recently revived as it was shown that CQ specifically kills cancer cells and significantly decreases A level. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of CQs drug effects and side effects are still unclear.

We previously established exogenous global regulator IrrE mutants that confer Escherichia coli with significantly enhanced tolerance to stresses, including ethanol.
