Cardiac transcriptome analysis of BBLN-transgenic mice by NGS
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The study applied NGS to determine the cardiac transcriptomes of BBLN-transgenic mice with FVB/N background in comparison to those of non-transgenic FVB/N mice at an age of 8 months. The BBLN (Bublin coiled-coil protein) is the chromosome 9 open reading frame, C9orf16, with largely unknown function. To investigate the cardiac phenotype of increased cardiac BBLN transcript levels we generated BBLN-transgenic (Tg-BBLN) mice. Echocardiography documented that Tg-BBLN mice developed features of heart failure at an age of 8 months. To elucidate pathomechanisms of heart failure induced by BBLN, we performed NGS of the cardiac transcriptomes of eight-month-old, male, BBLN-transgenic mice with cardiac-specific expression of BBLN under control of the myocardium-specific, alpha-MHC promoter. The non-transgenic control group are age-matched, male, nontransgenic FVB/N mice. NGS data of this study document transcriptome changes underlying the heart failure phenotype induced by transgenic BBLN expression.
