Evolution of neuronal and endothelial transcriptomes in primates


ABSTRACT: Neurons and endothelial cells were identified by immunohistochemistry in human brains, isolated by laser-capture-microdissection and used to find genes preferentially expressed in the two cell types. Keywords: cell type comparison Laser capture microdissection was used to isolate approximately 1000 neurons and endothelial cells from 6 (for neurons) and 7 (for endothelial cells) human post mortem brain samples. RNA was isolated and amplified (3 linear amplifications) and genome wide expression was measured. This allowed the identification of genes that are differentially expressed between neurons and endothelial cells in the human brain.

The study of gene expression evolution in vertebrates has hitherto focused on the analysis of transcriptomes in tissues of different species. However, because a tissue is made up of different cell types, and cell types differ with respect to their transcriptomes, the analysis of tissues offers a composite picture of transcriptome evolution. The isolation of individual cells from tissue sections opens up the opportunity to study gene expression evolution at the cell type level. We have stained ne  ...[more]
