Project description:Transcription factor Gata2 has been shown to regulate the development of the GABAergic neurons in the mouse midbrain. To gain information about the possible target genes of the Gata2 transcription factor, we used cDNA microarrays to compare gene expression in the embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) wild-type and Gata2 mutant embryos. In this dataset, gene expression in control and Gata2cko dorsal and ventral midbrain tissues is reported. The ventral_mb_mut_rep3 sample was identified as outlier in sample correlation analysis and excluded from the differential gene expression analysis. The samples 13-18 are part of the GEO dataset GSE89354:GSM2367121-GSM2367126.
Project description:The data revealed differential expression between floor plate and ventral lateral region in E10.5 mouse embryo midbrain. Several differentially expressed genes in these regions have been reported in the literature, demonstrating reliability of tissue dissection. Midbrain floor plate and non-overlapping adjacent ventral lateral region of mouse E10.5 embryo midbrain was dissected. Each sample was a pool from 6 embryos. Three replicates for each region were used for the experiment.

Project description:RNA-SEQ profiling of mouse whole midbrain and dopaminergic neurons from the mouse mid-brain Murine whole midbrain and murine midbrain dopaminergic neurons
Project description:The circadian nature of mood and its dysfunction in affective disorders is well recognized, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. We showed that the circadian nuclear receptor REV-ERBa, which is associated with bipolar disorder, impacts midbrain dopamine production and mood-related behavior in mice. Genetic deletion of the Rev-erba gene or pharmacological inhibition of REV-ERBa activity in the ventral midbrain induced mania-like behavior in association with a central hyperdopaminergic state. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in the ventral midbrains of wild-type (WT) and Rev-erba knock-out (RKO) mice.
Project description:We report the distribution of histone H3K4me1 and H3K27ac within the genome of mouse embryonic midbrain. We prepared the chromatin from 11 dpc embryonic midbrain and made chromatin precipitation with antibody against H3K4me1 and H3K27ac (rabbit polyclonal antibody). High-throughput sequencing applied for the ChIP analysis revealed the differential distribution of modified histone within developing midbrain. ChIP analysis of mouse 11 dpc embryonic midbrain and forelimb buds against anti-H3K4me1 and H3K27ac antibody.
Project description:Here we report 20 658 single nuclei chromatin accessibility profiles of ventral midbrain cell types from two genetically diverse and commonly used mouse strains, C57BL6/J and A/J. In total we identify over 260 000 unique accessible sites. The distinct chromatin profiles are consistent with gene expression levels from single cell RNA-seq data and can distinguish ten midbrain cell types. Transcription factor (TF) binding motifs enriched at accessible regions controlling cell identity genes highlight the key TFs of each major cell type. The gene regulatory differences between the mouse strains manifest more on transcriptome than chromatin level.
