Olfaction is one of the most crucial senses for vertebrates regarding foraging and social behavior. Therefore, it is of particular interest to investigate the sense of smell, its function on a molecular level, the signaling proteins involved in the process and the mechanism of required ion transport. In recent years, the precise role of the ion transporter NKCC1 in olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) chloride accumulation has been a controversial subject. NKCC1 is expressed in OSNs and is involved in chloride accumulation of dissociated neurons, but it had not been shown to play a role in mouse odorant sensation. To characterize transporter gene expression in NKCC1-/- mice, we examined the OE gene profile (Supplementary Table 1) using Illumina RNA-Seq to generate OE transcriptomes from NKCC1-/- and wild type mice. We analyzed RNA from OEs of male and female NKCC1+/+ (12 ± 1 weeks) and NKCC1-/- mice (16.5 ± 3.5 weeks, NMRI background); each RNA sample was prepared from an OE pool of 4 (mixed-gender pool RNA isolation) or 2 (gender RNA pool) different mice for each condition. Our data demonstrated the absence of a highly expressed ion transporter that could compensate for NKCC1. Overall design: The Illumina RNA-Seq protocol was utilized. In total, we amplified and sequenced up to 38 million 101 nt-long fragments from murine NKCC1+/+ and NKCC1-/- adult OEs.

View SamplesThe shoot apical meristem (SAM) contains undifferentiated stem cells that are responsible for the initiation of above-ground organs, and eventually the general architecture of the plant. To gain insight into the nature of genetic programs and the regulatory networks underlying SAM function in soybean, we have used Affymetrix soybean GeneChip to investigate the transcript profiles associated with micro-dissected SAMs or axillary meristems (AMs). While the microarray data disclosed the conservation of transcriptional signature between the two types of meristems, subsequent comparison of SAM transcript profile with that of non-meristem (NM) tissue revealed a total of 1090 and 1523 transcripts that are significantly up- or down-regulated in the SAM. Further in situ hybridization analysis on selected transcripts has implicated their roles in SAM maintenance and the establishment of organ polarity. We also identified a gene that could potentially serve as a novel marker that distinguishes the differentiating cells in the meristem from the pluripotent stem cells. Along with many unknowns, transcripts with putative annotation have also been identified that has allowed us to infer SAM regulatory roles for various families of transcription factors as well as products associated with auxin-mediated responses, cell division and proliferation, epigenetic regulation, miRNA regulation and protein turnover. Computational analysis on the promoter regions of Arabidopsis orthologs of genes with high expression in the soybean SAM revealed a conserved over-representation of three cis-acting regulatory motifs. Our microarray data thus represents a rich source of target genes for further study into the meristem function and maintenance.

View SamplesWe analyzed Purkinje cell transcriptome dynamics in the developing mouse cerebellum during the first three postnatal weeks, a key developmental period equivalent to the third trimester in human cerebellar development. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of developmental Purkinje cell transcriptomes and provides a valuable dataset for gene network analyses and biological questions on genes implicated in cerebellar and Purkinje cell development. Overall design: Laser capture microdissection was employed to obtain a highly enriched population of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Deep sequencing was performed on RNA isolated from 1000 Purkinje cells at five developmental timepoints (postnatal days P0, P4, P8, P14 and P21) in triplicate.

View SamplesWe used transgenic mouse embryos that are deficient in the two enzymatically active RNA editing enzymes ADAR1 and ADAR2 to compare relative frequencies but also sequence composition of mature miRNAs in these genetically modified backgrounds to wild-type mice by Illumina next gen sequencing. Deficiency of ADAR2 leads to a reproducible change in abundance of specific miRNAs and their predicted targets. Changes in miRNA abundance seem unrelated to editing events. Additional deletion of ADAR1 has surprisingly little impact on the mature miRNA repertoire, indicating that miRNA expression is primarily dependent on ADAR2. A to G transitions reflecting A to I editing events can be detected at few sites and at low frequency during the early embryonic stage investigated. Again, most editing events are ADAR2 dependent with only few editing sites being specifically edited by ADAR1. Besides known editing events in miRNAs a few novel, previously unknown editing events were identified. Some editing events are located to the seed region of miRNAs opening the possibility that editing leads to their retargeting. Overall design: GSM852140-8: sequencing of mature miRNAs of wt, ADAR2-/- and ADAR1-/-/ADAR2-/- female mouse embryos at E11.5 GSM863778-81: Gene expression was measured in wiltype, ADAR2-/- and ADAR1-/-/ADAR2-/- E11.5 whole female mouse embryos using Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarrays 8x60K.
