Identification of Stk25 as a genetic modifier of Tau phosphorylation in Dab1-mutant mice. by Tohru Matsuki, Mariam Zaka, Rita Guerreiro, Marcel P van der Brug, Jonathan A Cooper, Mark R Cookson, John A Hardy, Brian W Howell

“…Genomic regions that regulate the phospho Tau phenotype in dab1 mutants have previously been identified. Using a microarray gene expression comparison between dab1-mutants from the high-phospho Tau expressing and low-phospho Tau expressing strains, we identified Stk25 as a differentially expressed modifier of dab1-mutant phenotypes. …”

Dissociation of mitochondrial and ribosomal biogenesis during thallium administration in rat kidney. by Sho Sugahara, Kana Unuma, Shuheng Wen, Takeshi Funakoshi, Toshihiko Aki, Koichi Uemura

“…To obtain insight into Tl toxicity in the kidney, rats were intraperitoneally administered Tl2SO4 (30 mg/kg), and the kidneys were removed 2 or 5 days later to examine the effects of Tl. Transcriptome analysis using DNA microarray of the rat kidney 2 and 5 days after Tl administration showed that cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins are the most upregulated category; many of the genes involved in ribosome biosynthesis were upregulated by Tl administration. …”
