Mapping genetic determinants of host susceptibility to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in mice. [PDF]

, 2016
Background: P. aeruginosa is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human bacterial infections. The remarkable variability in the clinical outcomes of this infection is thought to be associated with genetic predisposition.

Intra- and inter-individual genetic differences in gene expression [PDF]

, 2008
Genetic variation is known to influence the amount of mRNA produced by a gene. Given that the molecular machines control mRNA levels of multiple genes, we expect genetic variation in the components of these machines would influence multiple genes in a ...

Stress of Strains: Inbred Mice in Liver Research

Gene Expression, 2019
Inbred mice are the most popular animals used for in vivo liver research. These mice are genetically defined, readily available, less expensive to maintain than larger animals, and enjoy a broad array of commercial reagents for scientific characterization. C57BL/6 mice are the most commonly used strain. However, other strains discussed, including BALB/

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

DNA Methylation Changes More Slowly Than Physiological States in Response to Weight Loss in Genetically Diverse Mouse Strains

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Responses to a high fat, high sucrose (HFHS) diet vary greatly among inbred strains of mice. We sought to examine the epigenetic (DNA methylation) changes underlying these differences as well as variation in weight loss when switched to a low-fat chow ...

Modeling the Genetic Basis of Individual Differences in Susceptibility to Gulf War Illness

Brain Sciences, 2020
Between 25% and 30% of the nearly one million military personnel who participated in the 1991 Persian Gulf War became ill with chronic symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal to nervous system dysfunction.

Male mice emit distinct ultrasonic vocalizations when the female leaves the social interaction arena. [PDF]

, 2013
Adult male mice emit large number of complex ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) when interacting with adult females. Call numbers and call categories differ greatly among inbred mouse strains.

The response of recombinant inbred strains of mice to bacterial lipopolysaccharides.

Journal of Immunology, 1977
Fourteen recombinant inbred strains of mice have been produced by the inbreeding of the F2 generation of a cross between C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ progenitor mice.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Organ Specificity and Commonality of Epigenetic Aging in Low‐ and High‐Running Capacity Rats

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is not associated with epigenetic clocks, including newly developed ones. On the other hand, CRF is associated with global methylation profiles and promoter methylation in organ‐specific and organ‐common manner. ABSTRACT Epigenetic drift, which is gradual age‐related changes in DNA methylation patterns, plays a ...
