Profiling of Sox9-related genes in chondrogenesis using Sox9-3'EGFP knock-in and Sox9-EGFP/EGFP null chimeric mouse embryos

ABSTRACT: To define the repertoire of Sox9-dependent genes that contribute to the regulation of chondrogenesis, we generated Sox9-3'enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) knock-in mice (Sox9-3'EGFP) and Sox9-EGFP/EGFP null chimeras. EGFP-positive cells of Sox9-3'EGFP knock-in and Sox9-EGFP/EGFP null chimeric embryos harvested from limb buds at embryonic day 12.5 were sorted using a FACSAria flow cytometer (Becton-Dickinson). Total RNA of sorted cells was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) and amplified according to the instructions provided by Affymetrix. Microarray analysis using the Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:Purpose: SOX9Y440X is the most commonly reported SOX9 mutation identified in human patients with Campomelic dysplasia, a dominant semi-lethal skeletal disease characterized by congenital shortening and angulation of long bones (campomelia). To understand how the SOX9Y440X mutant cause the abnormal limb development and compare with previously heterozygous Sox9 null mutant, a mouse model with Sox9Y440X mutation has been generated. The goal of this study is to carry out transcriptome analyses (RNA-seq) of E13.5 limbs collected from Sox9+/IRES-EGFP and Sox9+/Y440X-IRES-EGFP mice. GFP+ and GFP- cells were collected from each genotype by FACS. Comparing transcriptome profiles of cells from these two genotypes aims to reveal how the SOX9Y440X mutant causes abnormal limb development. Method: Forelimbs (FL) and hindlimbs (HL) mRNA profiles of E13.5 Sox9+/IRES-EGFP (WT) and Sox9+/Y440X-IRES-EGFP (CD) mice were generated by sequencing. 4-6 pairs of FL and HL buds were collected separately for each genotype. Limb tissues were then digested into single cells, then EGFP positive and negative cells were collected by FACS for each sample. Total RNA from each sample was prepared using Ambion RNA isolation kit (Cat. AM1580). 100ng of total RNA was used from each sample for RNA-sequencing. cDNA libraries were prepared by TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Prep Kit (Illumina). Pair-End sequencing of 101bp was done using HiSeq 1500 Sequencer Model. Data processing: Reads was pre-processed and aligned to the mouse GRCm38 (mm10) reference genome and expression levels were quantified using the nfcore/rnaseq workflow. The count matrix from featureCounts was used in the downstream analyses. The Nextflow pipeline for downstream analysis is available at https://github.com/fuxialexander/sox9. With R library edgeR 3.36.0, read counts were normalized using the ‘TMM’ method. We identified differentially expressed genes between the WT and CD groups in GFP+ or GFP- samples with the ‘glmQLFTest’ function and a Benjamini & Hochberg adjusted P-value cutoff of 0.05. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of mouse foetal limbs transcriptomes between Sox9Y440X mutant and wild type. Our work contributes to gain insight into the molecular signalling pathways affected by SOX9Y440X in vivo.
