Purpose: Parturition is delayed by approximately 12 hours in transgenic mice expressing human corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in placenta. The goal of the study was to identify the pathways in reproductive tissues (uterus and placenta) altered by placental expression of human CRH. Methods: Human BAC RP11-366K18 (CHORI) containing human CRH and cis-regulatory region was inserted into the mouse genome by microinjection and random integration to create the BAC1 line. The CRISPR/Cas9 system was used to delete a CRH regulatory element from the BAC1 line to create the CR1 line, eliminating expression of CRH in placenta. Total expression of uterus and placenta by RNA-seq at embryonic day 18.5 were compared between BAC1, CR1, and nontransgenic mice. Results: Genes known to be associated with luteolysis and initiation of parturition (Cav1, Gja1, Oxtr, Ptgs1, Ptgs2) were not differentially expressed in uterus of this model. Conclusions: CRH-mediated delay of parturition is likely independent of luteolysis. Overall design: mRNA-seq was performed on uterus and placenta harvested at embryonic day 18.5 from nontransgenic mice, Tg(BAC1) mice, and Tg(CR1) mice.

View SamplesWe have developed a protocol to generate hematopoietic and cardiac derivatives in vitro by Mesp1 induction in ES cells. The goal of this study is to analyze the heterogeneity of Mesp1+ mesoderm by single-cell RNA-seq Overall design: 48 Mesp1-induced single cells were captured using the Fluidigm C1 microfluidic system. RNA extraction, RT and cDNA amplication were then performed according to the manufacturer's manual.

View SamplesWe used a murine ES cell line in which HoxA3 expression is under control of a tetracycline-responsive element and differentiated these cells as embryoid bodies (EBs). Endothelial (Flk-1 VE-cadherin double positive, FV) and hematopoieitc progenitors (c-Kit CD41 double positive, K41) were isolated from differentiated EBs that had been induced for 6 hours by doxycycline (Dox) treatment.

View SamplesWe have developed a method to generate muscle stem cells from pluripotent stem cells via teratoma formation. The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome of a7+ VCAM+ myogenic cells derived from pluripotent stem cells versus satellite cells Overall design: RNA from a7+ VCAM+ myogenic cells derived from teratoma, transplanted muscles, E14.5 mouse embryos, and hindlimbs of 8-week-old mice.

View SamplesDuring embryogenesis, the endothelial and the hematopoietic lineages first appear during gastrulation in the blood island of the yolk sac. We have previously reported that an Ets variant gene 2 (Etv2/ER71) mutant embryo lacks hematopoietic and endothelial lineages, however, the precise roles of Etv2 in yolk sac development remains unclear.
Etv2 is expressed in the yolk sac hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors and regulates Lmo2 gene expression.

View SamplesDuring mammalian gastrulation, pluripotent epiblast stem cells migrate through the primitive streak to form the multipotent progenitors of the mesoderm and endoderm germ layers. Msgn1 is a bHLH transcription factor and is a direct target gene of the Wnt/bcatenin signaling pathway. Msgn1 is expressed in the mesodermal compartment of the primitive streak and is necessary for the proper development of the mesoderm. Msgn1 mutants show defects in somitogenesis leading to a lack of trunk skeletal muscles, vertebra and ribs.
The Wnt3a/β-catenin target gene Mesogenin1 controls the segmentation clock by activating a Notch signalling program.
