Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
We developed a mouse line targeting midbrain dopamine neurons for Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP). Here, we briefly report on the basic characterization of this mouse line including confirmation of expression of the transgene in midbrain dopamine neurons and validation of its effectiveness in capturing mRNA from these cells. We also report a translational profile of these neurons which may be of use to investigators studying the gene expression of these cells. Finally, we have donated the line to Jackson Laboratories for distribution and use in future studies.

Description
Three cell types, intermediolateral column motoneurons, medial motoneurons, and lateral motoneurons were isolated from a single adult spinal cord using laser capture microscopy. Four hundred captures were collected for each cell type. For a given cell type, RNA was extracted from the 400 captures using an Arcturus picopure kit. RNA was split in half and two targets were produced using a double amplification protocol. Each target was hybridized to Affymetrix chips and signals were normalized with R-pack. Inverse logs are provided. Five animals were used in these experiments, and all three cell types were collected from each animal. Thus, for each cell type, there are five biological replicates, and for each biological replicate there are two technical replicates. In all thirty chips were analyzed. Techinical replicates are indicated as Set 1 and Set 2. Animal numbers are indicated by Pair1 through Pair 5.

Description
We report the mRNAs bound to ribosomes in peripheral astrocyte processes, thus suggesting local translation in astrocytes. Overall design: Isolation of a synaptoneurosome fraction from mouse cortex in which Astrocyte ribosomes were labeled with eGFP. Immunoprecipitation of GFP from this fraction to obtain astrocyte ribosomes away from the cell body. Performed RNA seq on these purified ribosomes and their bound mRNAs.

Description
Background: Recent characterization of the transcriptional landscape of cell lines and whole tissues has suggested widespread transcription of the genome, including loci that produce regulatory non-coding RNAs that function within the nucleus. Methods: Here, we have defined the nuclear transcriptional landscape of the three major cellular divisions of the nervous system using flow sorting of genetically labeled nuclei from bacTRAP mouse lines followed by characterization the unique expression of coding, non-coding and intergenic RNAs in the mature mouse brain with RNAseq, and validation with independent methods. Results: Our findings reveal diverse expression across the cell-types of all classes of RNAs, including long non-coding RNAs - several of which were confirmed as highly enriched in the nuclei of specific cell-types using anatomical methods. Finally, we also discovered several examples of cell-type specific expression of tandem gene fusions, and report the first cell-type specific expression of circular RNAs, notably a neuron specific and nuclear enriched RNA arising from the gene Hnrnpu. Conclusion: These non-coding RNA expression data should provide an important context for studies evaluating the function of a variety of ncRNA in the nervous system. Overall design: Three to four independent replicate samples (each from one mouse) were collected for each of three sample types: Neuronal nuclear RNA, Astrocyte nuclear RNA, Oligodendrocyte nuclear RNA. Controls include low-coverage presorted nuclear RNA from each mouse.

Description
The mature CNS contains PDGFRA+ oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) which may remain quiescent, proliferate, or differentiate into oligodendrocytes. In human gliomas, rapidly proliferating Olig2+ cells resembling OPCs are frequently observed. We sought to identify, in vivo, candidate pathways uniquely required for OPC differentiation or quiescence. Using the bacTRAP methodology, we generated and analyzed mouse lines for translational profiling the major cells types (including OPCs), in the normal mouse brain. We then profiled oligodendoglial (Olig2+) cells from a mouse model of Pdgf-driven glioma. This analysis confirmed that Olig2+ tumor cells are most similar to OPCs, yet, it identified differences in key progenitor genes - candidates for promotion of differentiation or quiescence.
