Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
The oocytes of many species, both invertebrate and vertebrate, contain a large collection of localized determinants in the form of proteins and translationally inactive maternal mRNAs. However, it is unknown whether mouse oocytes contain localized MmRNA determinants and what mechanisms might be responsible for their control. We collected intact MII oocytes, enucleated MII oocyte cytoplasts (with the spindle removed), and spindle-chromosome complexes which had been microsurgically removed. RNA was extracted, amplified, labeled, and applied to microarrays to determine if any MmRNA determinants were localized to the SCC.

Description
The elaboration of a quality oocyte is integrally linked to the correct developmental progression of cumulus cell phenotype. In humans and non-human primates, oocyte quality is diminished with in vitro maturation. To determine the changes in gene expression in rhesus monkey cumulus cells (CC) that occur during the final day prior to oocyte maturation and how these changes differ between in vitro and in vivo maturation (IVM and VVM), we completed a detailed comparison of transcriptomes using the Affymetrix gene array. We observe a large number of genes differing in expression when comparing IVM-CC and VVM-CC directly, but a much larger number of differences comparing the transitions from the pre-oocyte maturation to post- IVM and post-VVM state. We observe a truncation or delay in the normal pattern of gene regulation, but also remarkable compensatory changes in gene expression during IVM. Among the genes affected in cumulus cells by IVM are those that contribute to productive cell-cell interactions between cumulus cell and oocyte and between cumulus cells. Numerous genes involved in lipid metabolism are incorrectly regulated during IVM, and the synthesis of sex hormones appears not suppressed during IVM. We identify a panel of 24 marker genes, the expression of which should provide the foundation for understanding how IVM can be improved, for monitoring IVM conditions, and for diagnosing oocyte quality.

Description
The function of Structural maintenance of chromosome flexible domain containing 1 (Smchd1) was examined during mouse preimplantation development using an siRNA knockdown approach. Transient SMCHD1 deficiency during the period between fertilization and morula/early blastocyst stage compromised embryo viability and resulted in reduced cell number, reduced embryo diameter, and reduced nuclear volumes at the morula stage. RNAseq analysis of Smchd1 knockdown morulae revealed aberrant increases in expression of mRNAs related to the trophoblast lineage, indicating SMCHD1 inhibits trophoblast lineage gene expression and promotes inner cell mass formation. siRNA knockdown also reduced expression of cell proliferation genes, including S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2). Smchd1 expression was elevated in Caudal type homeobox transcription factor 2 (Cdx2)-/- blastocysts, indicating enriched expression, and further indicating a role in inner cell mass development. These results indicate that Smchd1 plays dual roles in the preimplantation embryo, promoting a lineage-appropriate pattern of gene expression supporting inner cell mass formation, whilst controlling lineage formation and gene expression in the trophectoderm. Overall design: Effects of SMCHD1 siRNA knockdown were tested in mouse embryos

Description
In this study, we tested if miRNAs are altered in amygdala and ventral striatum as a consequence of prenatal ethanol exposure and/or social enrichment. miRNA samples from 72 male and female adolescent rats were analyzed by RNA-Seq analysis and Affymetrix miRNA arrays. Several miRNAs showed significant changes due to prenatal ethanol exposure or social enrichment in one or both brain regions. Some of the miRNA changes caused by ethanol were reversed by social enrichment. The top predicted gene targets of these miRNAs were mapped and subjected to pathway enrichment analysis. We also directly examined the evidence for modulation of target mRNAs in whole transcriptome microarray data from the same rats. Among the pathways most strongly affected were p53, CREB, Glutamate and GABA signaling. Together, our data suggest a number of novel epigenetic mechanisms for social enrichment to reverse the effects of ethanol exposure.

Description
To compare the RNAs present in dendrites and somas of individual neurons, we manually separated the dendrites and soma of primary mouse hippocampal neurons using a micropipette and performed RNA-sequencing on each subcellular fraction such that we obtained the subcellular transcriptomes of the same cell. Overall design: 16 individual neurons were collected and dissected (yielding a total of 32 soma and dendrite samples) from multiple cultures across multiple days. ERCC spike-in control RNA was added to each sample.

Description
Ethanol inhibits the proliferation of neural stem cells in the fetal, adolescent, and adult brain. The consequences are cognitive deficits associated with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and alcohol use disorder. We tested the hypothesis that ethanol affects progression through cell cycle checkpoints by differentially modifying transcriptional processes. Monolayer cultures of NS-5 neural stem cells were treated for 48 hr with the mitogenic agent FGF2 or the anti-mitogenic TGF1 in the absence or presence of ethanol. Cell cycle elongation was induced by a global down-regulation of genes involved in cell cycle progression, including the cyclin E system. Checkpoint regulation occurred downstream of p21 and Jun-oncogene signaling cascades. Thus, ethanol can affect cell cycle progression by altering transcript expression of strategic genes downstream of the G1/S checkpoint.
