QuantSeq analysis in the hippocampus of WT and PHF2 t/g mice


ABSTRACT: Long-term memory formation is attributed to experience-dependent gene expression. Dynamic changes in histone methylation status are essential for epigenetic regulation of memory consolidation-related genes. Here, we demonstrated that plant homeodomain finger protein 2 (PHF2) histone demethylase is upregulated in the mouse hippocampus during experience and plays an essential role in memory formation. QuantSeq analysis was performed to examine differential gene expression in the hippocampus of WT and PHF2 t/g mice. Transgenic mice were created by injecting the CMV-Flag-PHF2 vector into fertilized eggs from C57BL6 mice. Transgenic lines were established from 9 founders that were identified via PCR-based genotyping. Among the transgenic lines, mice with high PHF2 expressed brains were singled out for breeding. First, selected heterozygote males were bred with heterozygote females which produced homozygote, heterozygote and wild littermates. Since it is difficult to differentiate between hetero and homo mice with genotyping, we separated homo mice from hetero mice by breeding each of hetero and homo mice with wild type mice and confirming the genotypes of their offspring. In other words, hetero mice bred with wild type mice would have both wild type and hetero genotype of offspring, while homo mice bred with wild type mice would only have hetero genotype of offspring. Through this process, we particularly selected the homo mice and this transgenic line was used and maintained for this experiment.
