Global transcriptional profiles of abdominal skin epidermis during perinatal period
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report global transcriptional alteration and transcriptional heterogeneity of epidermal cells in remodeling mouse abdominal skin during perinatal period. By RNA-sequencing of FACS-isolated interfollicular epidermal (IFE) basal cells from abdominal skin of wildtype (WT) non-pregnant (NP) mice, pregnant mice, and Tbx3 cKO pregnant mice, we revealed pregnancy-associated genes and a key role of Tbx3 in regulating the pregnancy-associated transcriptome. To resolve the transcriptional heterogeneity of epidermal cells at single cell resolution, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of epidermal cells isolated from the abdominal skin of NP mice, pregnant mice, and post-partum mice by using Tbx3creERT2;R26H2B-EGFP mice. By unsupervised evaluation of clustering-based cell identities of total samples on the Seurat platform, we identified 14 main clusters, where the IFE1 cluster was appeared to be enriched in Dpc16 samples, and further revealed the pseudotime differentiation of Tbx3cre labeled cells during perinatal period.
