Project description:Expression profiling of wild-type and Prdm1 null mouse trophoblast giant cell cultures using Illumina whole genome mouse V2 arrays. The hypothesis tested was that Prdm1/Blimp1 regulates expression of genes required for spiral artery trophoblast giant cell function. Prdm1 null and littermate control wild-type trophoblast stem cell clones were generated from blastocyst outgrowths. Total RNA was obtained from multiple replicates of four wild-type TS cell clones and four Prdm1 null TS cell clones differenitated for zero, two, four and six days by growth factor withdrawal and hybridized to Illumina WG6_V2 arrays

Project description:Blimp1/Prdm1 governs terminal differentiation of endovascular trophoblast giant cells and defines multipotent progenitors in the developing placenta
Project description:Expression profiling of Prdm1 mutant E9.5 placenta was performed using Illumina whole genome V2 arrays. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that Blimp1 regulates the transcription of key genes involved in trophoblast differentiation. We demonstrate that the invading SpA-TGCs display robust Blimp1 expression and Blimp1 functional loss selectively disrupts specification of this discrete TGC sub-type. Transcriptional profiling experiments identified additional SpA-TGC lineage restricted marker genes that potentially regulate placental morphogenesis. Prdm1BEH/+ (Vincent et al., 2005) animals were intercrossed to generate null placental tissue. Total RNA obtained from 10 Prdm1+/+ and 11 Prdm1-/- E9.5 placenta samples was hybridized to Illumina WG6_V2 beadchips.
Project description:Our goal was to transcriptionally profile Prdm1+ cell lineages of maternal and embryonic origin in mid-gestation mouse placenta in order to study vascular mimicry and additional processes in the placenta. Profiling of 61 single cells and 17 clusters of 2 or 3 cells chosen based on expression of Prdm1, a paternally inherited Prdm1-Venus fluorescent reporter, progenitor trophoblast marker Gjb3 and spiral artery trophoblast giant cell marker Prl7b1.
