Project description:Adult myogenic progenitor cells (activated satellite cells) express both HGF and its receptor cMet. Following muscle injury, autocrine HGF-Met stimulation plays a key role in promoting activation and early division of satellite cells. Magic-F1 (Met-Activating Genetically Improved Chimeric Factor-1) is an HGF-derived, engineered protein that contains two Met-binding domains that promotes muscle hypertrophy, protecting myogenic precursors against apoptosis, increasing their fusion ability and enhancing muscle differentiation. Hemizygous and homozygous Magic-F1 transgenic mice displayed constitutive muscle hypertrophy. We described here microarray analysis on Magic-F1 myogenic progenitor cells showing an altered gene signatures involving muscle hypertrophy and vasculogenesis compared to wild-type cells. In parallel, we performed a functional analysis on homozygous Magic-F1 transgenic mice versus control, demonstrating that Magic-F1+/+ mice display impairment on running performance. Finally, we show that induced muscle hypertrophy affects positively vascular network, increasing vessel number in fast twitch fibers. This is due to unique features of mammalian skeletal muscle and its remarkable ability to adapt promptly to different physiological demands by changing gene expression profile. Biological triplicates of Magic-F1+/+ and control satellite cells were used for microarray analysis.
Project description:We produced RNA-Seq reads from messenger RNA isolated from seedling, root, and floral bud tissue for 17 MAGIC founder accessions (inbred strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana (see Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23 for a description of the MAGIC genetic mapping resource). The resulting RNA-Seq data provide a resource to assess tissue-specific expression across different accessions of A. thaliana. Note that comparable read data for accessions Col-0 and Can-0, which are also founders of the MAGIC lines, has previously been released under GEO series GSE30795 (Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23).
Project description:We produced RNA-Seq reads from messenger RNA isolated from root tissue for the 19 MAGIC founder accessions (inbred strains) of Arabidopsis thaliana (see Gan et al. 2011. Nature 477:419-23 for a description of the MAGIC genetic mapping resource). The read data was generated with biological replication (two replicates). The resulting RNA-Seq data provide a resource to assess root gene expression across different accessions of A. thaliana. Comparable RNA-Seq read data for the MAGIC founder accessions for aerial seedling tissue has previously been released under GEO series GSE30720 (Gan et al. 2011. Nature, 477:419-23).

Library construction and sequencing was performed such that each set of biological replicates were sequenced as a pool (with 9-plex barcoding; each 9-plex was run on two HiSeq lanes).
