Project description:We have applied a recently developed, highly accurate and sensitive single-cell RNA-seq method (STRT/C1) to perform a molecular census of two regions of the mouse cerebral cortex: the somatosensory cortex and hippocampus CA1. We isolated cells fresh from somatosensory cortex (S1) and hippocampus CA1 area of juvenile (P22 - P32) CD1 mice, 33 males and 34 females. Cells were collected without selection, except that 116 cells were obtained by FACS from 5HT3a-BACEGFP transgenic mice. A total of 76 Fluidigm C1 runs were performed, each attempting 96 cell captures and resulting in 3005 high-quality single-cell cDNAs, containing Unique Molecular Identifiers allowing counting of individual mRNA molecules, even after PCR amplification.

Project description:Cajal-Retzius cells have important role in cerebral cortex development, such as secreted Reln protein, maintain normal lays of cerebral cortex. To explore novel secretory protein of Cajal-Retzius cells and to survey the roles of Cajal-Retzius cells in cerebral cortex development, we analyzed transcriptome profiles of 6753 single cells of the embryonic 18 days.
Project description:Study on selective vulnerability of certain brain regions to oxidative stress. Here we selected 4 brain regions (hippocampal CA1 and CA3, cerebral cortex, and cerebellar granular layer) to study this phenomenon. Experiment Overall Design: Neurons were collected from the 4 regions of the rat brain and subjected to Affymetrix RAE230A analysis, in order to identify genes related to the differential vulnerability of the neurons to oxidative stress.
Project description:We analyzed transcriptomic characteristic of motor cortex from Sprague-Dawley rats brain with cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CIR).
