View SamplesGut microbiota and the circadian clock are both key regulators of the metabolic processes. Although recent evidence points to the impact of the circadian clock on microbiota, gut microbiota effect on diurnal host gene expression remains elusive. A transcriptome analysis of germ-free mice reveals subtle changes in circadian clock gene expression. However, a lack of microbiome leads to liver feminization and alters the expression of male-specific genes involved in lipid metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification associated with sustained activation of the Growth Hormone pathway. These results emphasize the mutual interaction of gut microbiota and its host even on unexpected functions. Overall design: Total RNA-Seq of testis and ovaries of conventional raised (convR) and Germ-free (GF) female mice under ad libitum feeding regime.

View SamplesGlomerular podocyte cells are critical for the function of the renal ultrafiltration barrier. The highly specialized cell-cell junction of podocytes, the slit diaphragm, has a central role in the filtration barrier. Dendrin is a poorly characterized cytosolic component of the slit diaphragm in where it interacts with nephrin and Cd2ap. In this study, we have generated a dendrin knockout mouse line and explored the molecular interactions of dendrin. Dendrin-deficient mice were viable, fertile and had normal life span.
Wtip- and gadd45a-interacting protein dendrin is not crucial for the development or maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier.

View SamplesPlatelet-derived growth factor-C (PDGF-C) is one of three known ligands for the tyrosine kinase receptor PDGFR. Analysis of Pdgfc null mice has demonstrated roles for PDGF-C in palate closure and the formation of cerebral ventricles, but redundancy with other PDGFR ligands might hide additional functions. In search of further developmental roles for PDGF-C, we generated mice that were double mutants for Pdgfc -/- and Pdgfra GFP/+. These mice display a range of severe phenotypes including cerebellar malformation, neuronal over-migration in the cerebral cortex, spina bifida and lung emphysema. We focused our analysis on the central nervous system (CNS), where PDGF-C was identified as a critical factor for the formation of meninges and assembly of the glia limitans basement membrane.

View SamplesAdipocyte precursor cells were treated with Pdgfa during 1 or 2 hours in vitro to identify early changes in transciprion in response to treatment. This experiment supports the evidence that Pdgfa induces proliferation and maintenance of adipocyte stem cells. Overall design: Adipocyte precursor cells were isolated by FACS and treated with 30ng/ml of recombinant mouse Pdgfa for 1 or 2 hours.
