MicroRNA-sequencing from the striatum of ELAVL4 (HuD) KO mice and wild type littermate adult mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to determine how deletion of the RNA-binding protein HuD affects the levels of microRNAs in the striatum of Elav4 (HuD) KO using miRNA-seq Methods: Total RNA from striatum of male adult Elavl4 (HuD) KO and wild-type (WT) littermates (n=3 per genotype) crossbred to C57Bl/6 for more than 10 generations were analyzed by small RNA sequencing, in triplicate, using an Illumina NextSeq platorm. The percentage of the number of bases with Q >30 for all 6 samples were >93%. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow (see diagram below), about 6.3 million sequence reads per HuD KO sample and 3.3 million per WT sample were mapped miRBase v22. The expression level (Reads count) of miRNAs were calculated using miRDeep2. The number of identified miRNA per group was calculated based on the mean of CPM in group > 1. Conclusions: We found 309 miRNAs from 54 unique families (FC>1.75- and p<0.05) were significantly upregulated while 161 miRNAs from 143 unique families (FC<0.55 and p<0.05) were significantly downregulated in the striatum of HuD KO mice vs WT samples.
