ABSTRACT: This represents an unbiased evaluation of the transcriptional response in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus areas in the Df(16)A/+ mice, a mouse model of human 22q11 microdeletion syndrome. These mice were generated by chromosomal engineering and carry a microdeltion of ~1.3Mb in the mouse locus syntenic to the human 22q11.1 The reasoning behind this expression profiling is that alterations in transcriptional programs reflect either downstream (immediate or remote) effects of the deficiency or reactive (compensatory) changes, and can thus point to affected biological processes and molecular functions. Keywords: disease state analysis, genetic modification

These mice were generated by chromosomal engineering and carry a microdeltion of ~1.3Mb in the mouse locus syntenic to the human 22q11.1; The reasoning behind this expression profiling is that alterations in transcriptional programs reflect either downstream (immediate or remote) effects of the deficiency or reactive (compensatory) changes, and can thus point to affected biological processes and molecular functions. Experiment Overall Design: A total of 20 PFC and 20 HPC from 10 Df(16)A/+ mutants and 10 WT control mice was used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. All mice were male littermates 8 weeks of age.
Project description:Df16(A)+/- mice line is a model of human 22q11 microdeletion syndrome. We conducted an unbiased evaluation of the transcriptional difference in the prefrontal cortex between mutant and wild type animals at exon level. These mice were generated by chromosomal engineering and carry a microdeltion of ~1.3Mb in the mouse locus syntenic to the human 22q11.1 The reasoning behind this expression profiling is that consistent alterations in transcriptional programs reflect either downstream (immediate or remote) effects of the deficiency or reactive (compensatory) changes, and can thus point to affected biological processes and molecular functions. Df(16)A+/- mice line is a model of human 22q11 microdeletion syndrome.

Df(16)A+/- mice line is a model of human 22q11 microdeletion syndrome. Adult mutant mice and their wild type littermate were selected. Prefrontal cortex tissues were dissected, total RNA were extracted, processed and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain difference of expression profiles between mutant and wild mice at exon level.
Project description:Df16(A)+/- mice line is a model of human 22q11 microdeletion syndrome. We conducted an unbiased evaluation of the transcriptional difference in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus areas between mutant and wild type animals at two early developmental stages (embryonic day 17 and postnatal day 6). These mice were generated by chromosomal engineering and carry a microdeltion of ~1.3Mb in the mouse locus syntenic to the human 22q11.1 The reasoning behind this expression profiling is that consistent alterations in transcriptional programs reflect either downstream (immediate or remote) effects of the deficiency or reactive (compensatory) changes, and can thus point to affected biological processes and molecular functions. Df(16)A+/- mice line is a model of human 22q11 microdeletion syndrome and Dp(16)B mice line is a model of human 22q11 microduplication. We conducted an unbiased evaluation of the transcriptional difference in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus areas between the mice with microdeletion, microduplication and heterogygous balanced normal copy number of the mouse syntenic locus.

Mutant mice and their wild type littermate from two development stages (embryonic day 17 and postnatal day 6) were selected. Hipocampal and prefrontal cortex tissues were dissected, total RNA were extracted, processed and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain temporal gene expression difference of expression profiles between mutant and wild mice. Adult male mice of microdeletion, microduplication were used and mice with heterozygous balanced copy number as reference. Hipocampal and prefrontal cortex tissues were dissected, total RNA were extracted, processed and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. we attempted to distinguish primary versus secondary gene targets of the 22q11.2 microdeletion by looking for genes whose expression changes in negative correlation as a result of genomic losses or gains in this locus.
Project description:22q11-deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a developmental anomaly caused by a microdeletion on human chromosome 22q11. Although mouse models indicated Tbx1 as the gene responsible of the syndrome, the phenotypic spectrum of del22q11 patients is complex suggesting that gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, probably during embryonic development, are crucial in delineating the pathogenesis of 22q11DS. In order to define cis-acting regulatory effects of 22q11Ds haploinsufficiency during development we analysed the expression pattern of MM16 mouse genes, that is the syntenic region to 22q11, in RNA from total embryos at different stages (from 4.5 dpc to 14.5 dpc; corresponding to pharyngeal development) by a low density microarray (22q11DS-chip).

Project description:We analysed the effect of the deficiency Df(2R)ED3921 and Df(2R)ED50000 on gene expression in embryos (stage 0-11), and wing imaginal discs and brains from 3rd instar larvae. Df(2R)ED3921 and Df(2R)ED50000 were described in Ragab et al. (2005) Genetics 172:1069-1078 2005.
