α1ACT is essential for survival and early cerebellar programming in a critical neonatal window [RNA-Seq]

Previous study has shown that alpha1ACT is a transcription factor involved with regulating neuronal gene expression. We performed a time-series RNA-seq study using pc12 cell lines stably expressing pcDNA3-alpha1ACT at 4 time points (6hr, 24hr, 3day, and 10day) to explore the transcriptional profiles that capture transient and prolonged dynamic changes regulated by alpha1ACT during cell cycle and differentiation PC12 cell lines expressing pcDNA3 (EV) and expressing pcDNA3-α1ACT at 4 different time points (6h, 24h, 3d, 10d) were analyzed by Agilent Bio-analyzer and submitted to university of Chicago Functional genomic facility for library preparation (TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold, RS-122-2301) and sequencing on Illumina HiSeq2500 platform, with 3 biological replicates for each condition.
