RNA-seq of cerebellum from Eif2b5[R191H] mice

The integrated stress response (ISR) is a conserved signaling pathway triggered by a variety of insults that include ER stress, mitochondrial stress, amino acid deprivation, and viral infection. The essential stress sensor and key effector of this pathway is eIF2B, and loss-of-function mutations in any of its 5 subunits can lead to Vanishing White Matter disease (VWM) in humans. We generated and characterized mouse models harboring different pathogenic mutations to model VWM and to understand the impact of chronic ISR activation on organismal and cellular physiology. Here, we performed bulk RNA-seq on the cerebellum from 5-month-old homozygous Eif2b5[R191H] (n=4) and WT mice (n=5).
