Project description:mRNA expression was compared between wild type and hepatocyte-specific caveolin-1 knockout livers in healthy and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) mice mRNA expression was compared between gender
Project description:Purpose: A1CF is an RNA binding protein that has not been extensively studied on a transcriptome-wide scale. Here we profile the livers of wild-type and A1cf knockout mice to detect differences in gene expression. Methods: mRNA profiles of 6-8 week old wild-type and A1cf knockout mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Reads that passed quality filters were aligned to mm10 genome and analyzed for differential expression using CuffDiff2 and DESeq2. Results: We mapped reads to the mm10 genome and found a subset of fewer than 500 differentially expressed genes in A1CF deficiency. Conclusions: Our study represents the first transcriptomic profiling of A1CF deficiency in the liver.
