Cover: Spontaneous null mutation in the actin depolymerizing molecule, destrin (Dstn), leads to changes in the gene expression profile in vivo. The Dstn mutant mouse suffers abnormal actin dynamics as evidenced by accumulation of filamentous actin in the corneal epithelial cells (phalloidin staining, top). The microarray analysis demonstrated a dramatic change in the gene expression profile (right; red and green indicate up- and downregulation of gene expression in the mutant compared with wild-type mice), which is likely involved in the mechanisms causing disease phenotypes including the irregular surface and neovascularization observed in the cornea of Dstn mutant mice (bottom). For details, see Verdoni AM, Aoyama N, Ikeda A, and Ikeda S. Effect of destrin mutations on the gene expression profile in vivo. Physiol. Genomics 34: 9-21, 2008 (first published April 1, 2008); doi: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00285.2007.
