Project description:We sequenced mRNA extracted from the cerebral cortices including hippocampi of mice at postnatal day 14 (P14) and compared the gene expression levels between the control group and the RelA conditional knockout (Cnp-Cre; RelA cKO) group.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA extracted from the spinal cords of mice at 4 and 4.5 weeks after tamoxifen administration and compared the gene expression levels between the control group and the Ddx20 conditional knockout (Plp-CreER; Ddx20 cKO) group.
Project description:DOT1L has a proven function in the cortical and cerebellar development of the mouse model, but has never been studied in the developing spinal cord. Here, we created a transgenic mouse line for Dot1l conditional knock-out in the spinal cord over neurogenesis. We investigated the changes in the trascriptome by performing bulk RNAseq of lumbar spinal cords in controls and Dot1l-cKO. The DEG analysis of cKO littermates revealed a higher degree of differentiation profile as opposed to the controls, concurrent with decreased cell proliferation and altered axonal projection and interneuron migration, supporting the importance of DOT1L activity in the developing spinal cord.
Project description:Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a mouse model for multiple sclerosis (MS) a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. We have observed dysfunction of the RNA binding protein hnRNP A1 in neurons from the brains of patients with MS, and the spinal cords of mice with EAE. Here, we sought to characterize the consequences of EAE-induced dysfunction of hnRNP A1 on the RNAs it binds by using CLIPseq to establish both the normal central nervous system RNA binding profile of hnRNP A1 in the spinal cords of naive mice, and any alterations to the binding profile of hnRNP A1 in the spinal cords of mice with EAE.
Project description:We prepared spinal cords from SOD1-G93A and WT mice treated with vehicle or the RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1s, which were single cell RNA sequenced using the DropSeq protocol.
Project description:The goal of this study is to elucidate the influence of treadmill training on transcriptome of the upper lumbar spinal cord after thoracic spinal cord hemisection. mRNA profiles of spinal cords at 23 days-post injury with/without treadmill training were generated. The expression levels of 650 genes in the trained animal were increased ( > 2-fold) compared to untrained animals. Our study represents the detailed analysis of transcriptomes of spinal cord distal to the hemisected lesion after treadmill training, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.
