Deficiency of STING-signaling leads to neurogenic abnormalities and Autistic-Like Behaviors in the embryonic cortex [single-cell RNA-seq]

Purpose: To gain futher insight into how STING causes abnormal cortical development in mice ,single cell RNA-seq was used to analyze the cell type changes resulting from the cerebral cortices of P0 STING conditional knock out mice and littermate wild-type. Methods: Single cell isolation was prepared from P0 telencephalic tissue of wild-type(WT) and STINGf/f;Nestin-Cre mice. The fragmented cDNAs containing barcode and UMI sequences was built the library . Agilent 2100 Bioanalyze was used to quality controlled and quantified.Single cell RNA-sequencing analysis was used by the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform in Annoroad Genomics Results: Clustering and labeling of these cells visualized on a t-SNE plot between the wild-type(WT) and STINGf/f;Nestin-Cre mice brain cortex Conclusions: Single cell RNA-seq data would provide a overall understanding of how STING gene influences cortical development in mice. Single cell isolation of P0 wild type (WT) and STINGf/f;Nestin-Cre mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
