Project description:We used Affymetrix miRNA arrays to analyze the expression of miRNAs in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of 8-week-old C57BL/6J wt mice. We compared these microarray-based expression profiles to ones obtained by miRNA sequencing from the same brain regions of the same mouse strain. miRNA expression profiling of frontal cortex and hippocampus from C57BL/6J mice (N=3) was performed with Affymetrix miRNA array

Project description:PURPOSE: To provide a detailed gene expression profile of the normal postnatal mouse cornea. METHODS: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on postnatal day (PN)9 and adult mouse (6 week) total corneas. The expression of selected genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: A total of 64,272 PN9 and 62,206 adult tags were sequenced. Mouse corneal transcriptomes are composed of at least 19,544 and 18,509 unique mRNAs, respectively. One third of the unique tags were expressed at both stages, whereas a third was identified exclusively in PN9 or adult corneas. Three hundred thirty-four PN9 and 339 adult tags were enriched more than fivefold over other published nonocular libraries. Abundant transcripts were associated with metabolic functions, redox activities, and barrier integrity. Three members of the Ly-6/uPAR family whose functions are unknown in the cornea constitute more than 1% of the total mRNA. Aquaporin 5, epithelial membrane protein and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) omega-1, and GST alpha-4 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in distinct corneal epithelial layers, providing new markers for stratification. More than 200 tags were differentially expressed, of which 25 mediate transcription. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing a detailed profile of expressed genes in the PN9 and mature mouse cornea, the present SAGE data demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression after eye opening and provide new probes for exploring corneal epithelial cell stratification, development, and function and for exploring the intricate relationship between programmed and environmentally induced gene expression in the cornea.

Project description:Purpose: We carried out small RNA sequencing to determine miRNA expression patterns of hippocampus and frontal cortex in six inbred mouse strains. We analyzed miRNA expression levels, isomiR distribution and miRNA editing events. Methods: We constructed small RNA libraries starting from the total RNA extracted from the hippocampus and frontal cortex of three animals per strain. The sequencing was carried out using Illumina HiSeq2000 (single-end). The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped to the mouse genome (mm10) and to known miRNAs (miRBase v21) using miRDeep2, SeqBuster, and sRNAbench, to obtain miRNA and isomiR expression levels and to predict novel miRNAs. Genome alignments were analysed for miRNA editing using FreeBayes. Results: We detected significant miRNA and isomiR expression level differences between the strains and brain regions. Most of the miRNA loci produced a number of isomiRs. Some miRNAs were consistently edited with a pattern that matches the activity of known RNA editing enzymes.
Project description:Here we used mass spectrometry-based proteomics technology to explore SEPs with potential function in five brain regions of the mouse. SEPs with unique peptides were identified in hippocampus, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex and parietal cortex.
