Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 16,015 nuclei in human adult testis. This dataset includes five samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
Project description:In order to establish a consensus catalog of dorsal rott ganglion cell types, we used comprehensive transcriptome analysis of single cells for unsupervised identification and molecular classification of sensory neurons independent of any a priori knowledge of sensory subtypes. RNA-Seq was performed on 799 dissociated single cells dissected from the mouse lumbar dorsal root ganglion distributed over a total of nine 96-well plates
Project description:To explore the mechanism underlying the PDN, we performed transcriptome analysis via RNA-seq on dorsal root ganglion from control and PDN rats.
Project description:Aim: Dorsal root ganglion neuron-derived immortal cell lines including ND7/23 and F-11 cells have been used extensively as in vitro model systems of native peripheral sensory neurons. However, while it is clear that some sensory neuron-specific receptors and ion channels are present in these cell lines, a systematic comparison of the molecular targets expressed by these cell lines with intact peripheral neurons is lacking. Methods: we examined the expression of RNA transcripts in the human neuroblastoma-derived cell line, SH-SY5Y, and two dorsal root ganglion hybridoma cell lines, F-11 and ND7/23, using Illumina next-generation sequencing. Results: The expression profile of these three cell lines did not resemble any specific dorsal root ganglion neuron subclass. The cell lines lacked many markers for nociceptive sensory neurons, such as the transient receptor potential V1 gene, but expressed markers for both myelinated and unmyelinated neurons. Conclusion: This paper provides insights into the receptor repertoire expressed in common dorsal root ganglion neuron-derived cell lines, and illustrates the limits and potentials of these cell lines as tools for neuropharmacological exploration.
Project description:To analyze axon transcriptome of dentate gyrus granule cells, dorsal root ganglion cells and retinal ganglion cells, we perfomed axon RNA sequencing.Neurons were cultured in microfluidic chambers and axons were isolated. Total RNA of axons was collected separately and subjected to library construction using M01440v2 NuGEN Trio RNA-seq kit. After sequencencing,we used TPM method to normalize RNA-seq reads.
Project description:Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). As one of the most disturbing symptoms, mechanical allodynia (MA) in PDPN remains largely unexplored. This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing results from rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The goal of this experiment was to investigate the transcriptional changes of distinct cell types in the DRG along MA development.
Project description:To identify the mechanism by which the miR-183 cluster works to cause change of the fate of early dorsal root ganglion progenitor cells, we compared RNA expression in E12.5 lumbar dorsal root ganglia from the miR conditional knockout mice to control mice
Project description:We used microarray-based expression genomics in 25 inbred mouse strains to identify dorsal root ganglion (DRG)-expressed genetic contributors to mechanical allodynia a prominent symptom of chronic pain. Expression genetics identifies a role for the Chrna6 (alpha 6-nicotinic receptor) gene in pain in mice and humans. Dorsal root ganglion tissue across multiple inbred mouse strains, both male and female
