RNA-Sequencing of heart tissue obtained from cardiac specific-Dsg2-/- and wild-type (Dsg2+/+) mice at 2-weeks and 10-weeks of age

ABSTRACT: We studied how loss of the desmosome associated protein, desmoglein-2 (Dsg2), in the heart leads to Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy with particular interest in the early stages of disease progression. Mice expressing the cardiac αMHC-Cre promoter were crossed with Dsg2 floxed mice in which exon 4-5 of the Dsg2 gene was flanked by loxP sites, resulting in Cre-mediated excision of Dsg2 in cardiac myocytes. Wild type Dsg2+/+ (Cre-, Dsg2flx/flx) and knockout Dsg2-/- (Cre+, Dsg2flx/flx) mice were generated. RNA-seq was performed on heart tissue obtained from wild-type and Dsg2-/- mice at 2-weeks and 10-weeks of age.
