Project description:RNA-sequencing analysis from whole heart ribosome depleted RNA from the 2-week old WT and Lmna-/- mice (N=5) . Strand specific RNA seq libraries where prepared form ribosome-depleted cardiac RNA samples using the Illumina TruSeq stranded total RNA library preparation kit. The samples weresequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 instrument using the paired-end sequencing reagents to generate100 base paired end reads.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE6397: Comparison between gene expression in heart from Lmna H222P heterozygous and control mice; GSE6398: Comparison between gene expression in heart from Lmna H222P homozygous and control mice Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:Over 180 LMNA gene mutations have been identified in human diseases including cardiac and skeletal myopathies, lipodystrophies, and premature aging syndromes. Postulated mechanisms by which these mutations result in different phenotypes include perturbation of normal nuclear structure and chromosome organization, and gene activity. We investigated whether a cardiomyopathic LMNA mutation, E161K, displayed abnormal gene expression. We compared the gene expression profile in the E161K LMNA-mutant heart to that of an end stage LMNA-normal heart. We compared the gene expression levels between two end-stage cardiomyopathic hearts in order to detect the gene expression differences more likely to reflect the LMNA mutation state. A region of left ventricle tissue that was grossly less fibrotic and contained cardiomyocytes of the LMNA-mutant heart was selected for RNA isolation. A region of a male heart that was also end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, but LMNA-normal and also devoid of obvious fibrosis was selected for RNA isolation. Two technical replicates were performed for each sample, and data were analyzed using two different normalization strategies (Mas5 and RMA).
Project description:The present research is devoted to the identification of gene(s) severely affected by LMNA mutations, leading to striated muscle laminopathies and more specifically the cardiomyopathy. For this purpose, we developped a large-scale gene expression approach on heart and skeletal tissues from Lmna H222P heterozygous Knock-In mouse model. Experiment Overall Design: In the project presented here we performed differential expression in heart from a mouse model of EDMD: a LmnaH222P knock-in mouse created via homologous recombination by Gisele Bonne in Paris, France (Arimura et al., 2005). The mutant male LmnaH222P knock-in homozygous mice display reduced locomotion activity with abnormal stiff walking posture and all of them die by 9 months of age. As for cardiac phenotype, they develop chamber dilation and hypokinesia with conduction defects. These results demonstrate that LmnaH222P knock-in homozygous mice represents a good model for studying laminopathies affecting striated muscles as they develop a dystrophic condition of both skeletal and cardiac muscles reminiscent of the human diseases. Genes were identified as differentially expressed if they met a false discovery rate threshold of 0.05 in a two-sample t-test (q-value) and showed at least a two-fold difference in expression independent of absolute signal intensity.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a point mutation in the LMNA gene that activates a cryptic donor splice site and yields a truncated form of prelamin A called progerin. Small amounts of progerin are also produced during normal aging. Studies with mouse models of HGPS have allowed the recent development of the first therapeutic approaches for this disease. However, none of these earlier works have addressed the aberrant and pathogenic LMNA splicing observed in HGPS patients because of the lack of an appropriate mouse model. We report herein a genetically modified mouse strain that carries the HGPS mutation. These mice accumulate progerin, present histological and transcriptional alterations characteristic of progeroid models, and phenocopy the main clinical manifestations of human HGPS, including shortened life span and bone and cardiovascular aberrations. By using this animal model, we have developed an antisense morpholino–based therapy that prevents the pathogenic Lmna splicing, dramatically reducing the accumulation of progerin and its associated nuclear defects. Treatment of mutant mice with these morpholinos led to a marked amelioration of their progeroid phenotype and substantially extended their life span, supporting the effectiveness of antisense oligonucleotide–based therapies for treating human diseases of accelerated aging. 6 samples, three from LmnaG609G/G609G mice and three from control Lmna+/+ mice
