KRAP (Ki-ras-induced actin-interacting protein) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein and a ubiquitous protein among tissues, originally identified as a cancer-related molecule. KRAP-deficient (KRAP-/-) mice show enhanced metabolic rate, decreased adiposity, improved glucose tolerance, hypoinsulinemia and hypoleptinemia. KRAP-/- mice are also protected against high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance despite of hyperphagia.

View SamplesDuring embryogenesis, the endothelial and the hematopoietic lineages first appear during gastrulation in the blood island of the yolk sac. We have previously reported that an Ets variant gene 2 (Etv2/ER71) mutant embryo lacks hematopoietic and endothelial lineages, however, the precise roles of Etv2 in yolk sac development remains unclear.
Etv2 is expressed in the yolk sac hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors and regulates Lmo2 gene expression.

View SamplesIngestion of collagen peptide elicits beneficial effects on the body. Improvement of blood lipid is one of the effects, but its mechanism remains unclear. Male BALB/cCrSlc mice were bred with the AIN-93M diet containing 14% casein or AIN-93M-based low-protein diet containing 10% casein or diet containing 6% casein+4% collagen peptide (n=12/group) for 10 weeksTotal, free, and esterified cholesterol levels in the blood decreased in the collagen peptide group. DNA microarray analysis of the liver revealed that expression of the genes related to lipid metabolic process, such as PPAR signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism, increased in the collagen peptide group compared to the 10% casein group. In contrast, expression of the genes related to unfolded protein response (UPR) and protein level of phospho-IRE1 decreased. Our data suggest that lipid metabolism in the liver was altered by collagen ingestion, which probably results in the decreased levels of blood cholesterol.
Collagen peptide ingestion alters lipid metabolism-related gene expression and the unfolded protein response in mouse liver.

View SamplesWe compared the gene expressions of the intestine, liver and spleen tissues between mice at 4 months of age and mice at 28 months of age. We used microarrays to examine the age-related changes of gene expressions of the jejunum, ileum, distal colon, liver and spleen in mice. Abbreviations used: C, 28-month-old mice; Y, 4-month-old mice.

View SamplesWe performed the long-term administration experiment using a yogurt fermented with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 and Streptococcus thermophilus 1131 (LB81 yogurt) for 20 months in order to understand the effects of the long-term intake of probiotics on mice. Microarrays were used to compare the gene expressions of the intestine, liver and spleen tissues between control mice and LB81 yogurt-intake mice at 28 months of age.
