Project description:This study profiled the expression of miRNA during myogenesis of the C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line. Cells were harvest at different stages during myogenesis including proliferating, confluence, 1 day post-differentiation induction, 2 day post-differentiation induction and 4 days post-differentiation induction. Keywords: time course
Project description:To predict Rp58-regulated gene involved in myogenesis, RNA profiling experiments were performed, comparing RNA derived from C2C12 with or without expressing shRNA for Rp58. As a result, 271 genes were upregulated in C2C12 stably expressing shRNA-Rp58 cells compared with control C2C12 cells. As Rp58 is repressor in C2C12, we hypothesized that Rp58 regulates gene cluster which expression is downregulated in accordance with Rp58 expression and myogenesis progression. In this regard, we also characterized dynamic gene expression patterns during myogenesis by microarray at 4 different stage (GM, day 0, 2, 4) of C2C12 myogenesis assays and found that 399 genes expression is characterized as downregulation pattern during myogenesis. Importantly, this down regulation gene set and upregulated genes by shRNA for Rp58 were highly overlapped. Keywords: time course, shRNA
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in cells differentiation by targeting protein coding genes. The expression level of miRNA and mRNA between D0 and D4 differentiated C2C12 showed a great significance. It is closely related to myogenesis, and is helpful to understand function of miRNAs and disease related to muscle. We performed microarray and transcriptome profiling in differentiating C2C12 cells cells (at 0 and 4 days named D0 and D4, respectively) to detail the expression of mRNA and miRNAs during differentiation.

Keywords: time course This experiment was a reference design miRNA microarray where all time points were compared to a pooled proliferating C2C12 sample, made up of 4 proliferating biological replicates. Each time point had four bioloigcal replicates of which two were labelled with Cy3 and two were labelled with Cy5.
Project description:ChIP-seq analysis of LSD1 in C2C12 cells. We found that LSD1 directly regulates the expression of fiber and metabolism genes during myogenesis. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of myogenesis.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Importantly, this down regulation gene set and upregulated genes by shRNA for Rp58 were highly overlapped. Experiment Overall Design: C2C12 murine skeletal muscle cells were purchased from American Type Experiment Overall Design: culture Collection (ATCC). These cells were mainteined in GM (DMEM Experiment Overall Design: supplemented with 10% FBS). Cells were grown in GM and after reaching Experiment Overall Design: counfluence, the medium was switched to DM (DMEM supplemented with 2% hourse serum) and further incubated. The medium was changed every 2 days. Culture was performed by using within five passages cells. For the experiment of shRNA for Rp58, transfection was performed by using Lipofectamin 2000 (Invitrogen). Stable transfectants were obtained by selection of the transfected C2C12 cells for two weeks. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis - RNA was isolated as described from C2C12, and cRNA was synthesized. 10 ug of cRNA were hybridized to Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arrays. Intensity values were quantified using RMA algorithm. Experiment Overall Design: MAPPFinder (www.genmapp.org) was used to integrate expression data with known pathways.
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff2 knock-out mouse model, 48 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain.
