Profiling of microRNA expression of mouse cardiac neural crest cells and non neural crest cells

ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigate the miRNA expression profile of cardiac neural crest cells (NCCs) and non-NCCs. Rosa-mT-mG reporter mice, which possess loxP sites on either side of a membrane-targeted tdTomato (mT) cassette and express strong red fluorescence in all tissues and cell types, were applied in this study. The presence of Wnt1-Cre leads to the deletion of the mT cassette and the expression of the membrane-targeted EGFP (mG) cassette located just downstream in NCCs. E10.5 Rosa-mT-mG/Wnt1-Cre EGFP positive embryos were collected. The 3rd, 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches and outflow tract were dissected out, digested and sorted for both EGFP+ cranial NCCs and EGFP- control cells by FACS sorting. Total RNAs were prepared for microRNA microarray from cardiac NCCs and non-NCCs.

Project description:S23 experiment: We sought to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) enriched in the neural crest cell (NCC) population from E11.5 mouse embryos. To accomplish this, we utilized a transgenic mouse line harboring Cre-recombinase under the control of the Wnt1 NCC-specific promoter and also carrying the R26R-YFP allele. We sorted YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) from E11.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos via FACS and compared the relative enrichment of miRNAs in the YFP+ population by miRNA microarray. 220 experiment: We sought to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) enriched in the neural crest cell (NCC) population from E10.5 mouse embryos. To accomplish this, we utilized a transgenic mouse line harboring Cre-recombinase under the control of the Wnt1 NCC-specific promoter and also carrying the R26R-YFP allele. We sorted YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) from E10.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos via FACS and compared the relative enrichment of miRNAs in the YFP+ population by miRNA microarray. 221 experiment: Our research has shown that heterozygous deletion of the miRNA processing enzyme Dicer leads to developmental delay of the thymus in mouse embryos. We sought to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) affected by the loss of a single copy of Dicer in the neural crest cell (NCC) population from E10.5 mouse embryos. To accomplish this, we utilized a transgenic mouse line harboring a floxed allele of Dicer, Cre-recombinase under the control of the Wnt1 NCC-specific promoter, and also carrying the R26R-YFP allele. We sorted YFP+ (NCCs) cells from E10.5 Dicerfl/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R and Dicer+/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R mouse embryos via FACS and compared the relative expression of miRNAs in the Dicer-heterozygotes compared to Dicer-wildtypes by miRNA microarray. S23 experiment: RNA from YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) cells sorted by FACS from E11.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos was isolated and hybridized to Exiqon miRNA microarrays v10. Cells from five E11.5 embryos were sorted into YFP+ and YFP- populations and pooled. 220 experiment: RNA from YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) cells sorted by FACS from E10.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos was isolated and hybridized to Exiqon miRNA microarrays v10. Cells from ten E10.5 embryos were sorted into YFP+ and YFP- populations and pooled. 221 experiment: RNA from YFP+ (NCCs) cells sorted by FACS from E10.5 Dicerfl/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R and Dicer+/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R mouse embryos was isolated and hybridized to Exiqon miRNA microarrays v10. Cells from ten embryos were sorted into YFP+ populations and pooled for each genotype.
