Comment[GEAAccession] E-GEAD-303 MAGE-TAB Version 1.1 Investigation Title Mastication affects transcriptomes of mouse microglia Experiment Description We investigated whether mastication affects microglia by comparing microglia transcriptomes from hard-diet-fed mice with those from soft-diet-fed mice. We kept twelve male mice of 10 weeks old by feeding either a hard or soft diet for 2, 4 or 8 months. After each period, we removed the whole brains from four mice, each two of which were fed with either a hard or soft diet, and isolated microglia from each brain. The total RNA extracted from each brain's microglia was subjected to DNA microarray analysis.

After a one-week acclimation-breeding period, a half of them were fed with a pelleted (hard) diet (CE-2, FEED ONE, Kanagawa, Japan) and another half were with a powdered (soft) diet (CE-2) for 2, 4 or 8 months. These diets contained the same ingredients. After 2, 4 or 8 months, four mice, each two of which were fed with either a hard or soft diet, were euthanized by cervical dislocation, and the whole brains were removed. Microglia were isolated from each brain according to the established method. Each total RNA from microglia of the 2-month-fed mice was extracted with RNAiso Plus (Takara Bio, Otsu, Japan). Each total RNA from microglia of the 4-month- and 8-month-fed mice was extracted with an miRNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen). According to Agilent instructions. According to Agilent instructions.
