Next Generation Sequencing Analysis of gene expression profile in E9.5 Mesp1Cre/+/Dgcr8-/- embryonic heart cells transfected with NC miRNA and miR-541 mimics. Mus musculus

Purpose: To compare the E9.5 Dgcr8 conditional knockout embryonic heart cells transfected with NC miRNA and miR-541 mimics Methods: In vitro cultured E9.5 Dgcr8 conditional KO heart cells transfected with miR-541-5p and NC miRNA were extracted with TRIZOL 48hrs after transfection, and 10ng total RNA was reverse transcribed and amplified by Smart-seq2 protocol as described (Picelli et al., 2014). Duplicated biological samples were analyzed using Illumina HiSeqX10, Clean reads were mapped to mouse genome (mm9) using BWA software. Results: Genes differentially expressed in E9.5 Dgcr8 cKO embryonic heart cells transfected with NC miRNA and miR-541 were identified. Conclusions: miRNA-541 significantly changes the gene expression profiles of E9.5 Dgcr8 cKO embryonic heart cells and promote the cardiac function Overall design: Perform RNAseq of E9.5 Dgcr8 cKO embryonic heart cells transfected with NC miRNA and miR-541 mimics
