Project description:To understand Tbx5-Hedgehog molecular networks in the posterior second heart field (pSHF), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with Tbx5-dependent expression changes. We microdissected the pSHF from E9.5 embryos and compared the Tbx5 mutant samples with than of wild-type using Agilent 4x44k Mouse Whole Genome Arrays (n = 4 WT pools and 4 Tbx5 -/+ pools).
Project description:To understand Sonic hedgehog homolog (Shh)-mediated molecular networks in the posterior second heart field (pSHF), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with Shh-dependent expressional changes. We microdissected the pSHF from E9.5 embryos and compared the Shh mutant samples with than of wild-type using Agilent 4x44k Mouse Whole Genome Arrays (n = 4 WT pools and 4 Shh - /- pools).

Microdissected pSHF from E9.5 mouse embryos was molecularly verified by real-time PCR. Shh mutant embryos were compared with wild-type embryos. Four independnet pools of RNAs from each biological group were measured on 1-color Agilent Mouse Whole Genome Arrays (n = 3 WT pools and 4 Shh -/- pools).

Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify the source of Wnt signals that lead to development/proliferation of the heart fields, particularly the second heart field. To this end, we knocked out Wntless (Wls), which is necessary for Wnt secretion, in Mesp1+ lineage cells. We performed single cell RNA-seq to better identify the source of Wnt signals and the effects of the loss of Wnt secretion in mesoderm.
