Project description:Purpose: To identify the role of glycosylation of dentin matrix protein1 (DMP1), S89G-DMP1 point mutation mouse model was created with changing S89 to glycine(S89G). RNA sequencing were performed to compare the transcriptome differences between the neural stem cells or astrocytes separated form S89G-DMP1 and WT mice. Methods: mRNA profiles of astrocytes and neural stem cell separated from S89G-DMP1 and WT were generated by RNA sequencing. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat2(for astrocytes) or with HISAT2o (for neural stem cells). Results: Differential expression analyses with DESeq2 use raw read counts: 762 transcripts were downregulated and 991 transcripts were up-regulated in S89G-DMP1 astrocytes; 475 transcripts were downregulated and 343 transcripts were up-regulated in S89G-DMP1 neural stem cells. All the differential expressed genes were used for Heatmap analysis and KEGG or GO enrichment analyses. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed transcriptome changes of astrocytes and neural stem cells with deglycosylated DMP1.
Project description:In mouse bone marrow, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) has the potential to form osteocytes, adipocytes and cartilage. In the process of osteogenesis, MSCs differenetiate into stromal cells, such as CAR cells. Osteoblast is responsible for the formation of osteocytes and osteoblasts may be differentiated from a subset of CAR cells. Dmp1-Cre targeted CAR cells are thought to enrich for a osteoblast progenitor population. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profiles among Dmp1-Cre targeted and non-targeted CAR cells. Gene expression diffferences were compared to support the hypothesis that Dmp1-Cre targeted CAR cells may be enriched for osteoblast progenitors. Dmp1-Cre targeted and non-targeted CAR cells were FACS sorted from three mice. RNA were extracted from these sorted cells and processed for microarray using Affymetrix mogene 1.0 ST chip. Cells from one mouse represent one sample
Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 5,264 nuclei in mouse adult testis. This dataset includes two samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
