Project description:To further characterize the roles of cortisol signaling via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in developing zebrafish, we have used morpholino oligonucleotides to knockdown GR protein translation and measured gene expression in RNA extracted from 24 and 36 hours post fertilization (hpf) embryos. The GR morpholino was characterized previously in Nesan et al., 2012, Endocrinology 181, 35-44) Single-cell zebrafish embryos were microinjected with either active morpholino or mispair control. Embryos were frozen at 24 and 36 hpf and total RNA extracted for microarray analysis. Three independent replicates (different breeding events on separate days) were performed for each treatment per timepoint.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish embryo comparing wild type untreated embryos with embryos injected with morpholino of zf-grna. This assay is used for determination of expression profiling of trunk muscle at 16, 24, 48, 72 hpf under GRN-A deficiency. Two-condition experiment, wild type vs. MO-grnA treated cells. Biological replicates: each group contains 200 embryos.
Project description:Aiming to identify insulin-independent modulators of glucose homeostasis, we performed a drug screen on zebrafish insulin (ins) mutants and identified androgen receptor (AR) antagonists. To investigate how AR antagonism mediates glucose level reduction in ins mutants, we evaluated the effects of antagonist treatment using transcriptomic studies. RNA-Seq analyses were performed on 120 hours post fertilization (hpf) ins mutants treated with Flutamide or Cyproterone starting at 84 hpf compared to vehicle (DMSO) treated mutants.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish embryos comparing wild type untreated embryos with embryos injected with morpholino of zf-grna. This assay is used for the determination of expression profiling at 22 hpf under GRN-A deficiency. Two-condition experiment: wild type vs. MO-grnA treated cells. 3 biological replicates: each group contains 200 embryos.
Project description:RNA-seq was performed to reveal the RNA expression profile at two different stages (shield and tail-bud stage) in the embryogenesis of zebrafish (wild type strain AB). Zebrafish embryos were collected at the shield stage and tail-bud stage, which correspond to 6 hours post fertilization (hpf) and 10 hpf, respectively. Total RNA was extracted with miRNeasy Mini Kit, libraries for sequencing were prepared with TruSeq stranded mRNA library prep kit (Illumina), and paired-end sequencing was performed using NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina).
Project description:In our previous study, we found zebrafish embryos treated with 5uM 11,12-EET (epoxyeicosatrienoic acid) had increased stem cell marker, runx1, expression in the AGM. EET also induced ectopic runx1 expression in the tail. To systematically study how EET regulates gene expression, we performed microarray analysis on EET-treated embryos. Zebrafish whole embryos were synchronized at fertilization. Embryos were grown at 28 degree overnight. 25 embryos per group were treated with DMSO or 5uM 11,12-EET starting from 24 hpf (hour post fertilization) until 36 hpf at 28 degree. The triplicates were from three different clutches of embryos, and split into DMSO v.s. EET for each clutch. EET vs. DMSO
Project description:In this dataset we performed RNA-seq on pools of livers dissected at 120 hpf from dnmt1(s904) mutants and phenotipically wild-type looking siblings.
