Tead1 regulation of β-cells

Purpose: The goal of this study is to determine the regulatory role of tead1 in β-cells by analyzing the transcriptomal changes with Tead1 deletion in β-cells Methods: Isolated islet mRNA profiles of β-cell Tead1 KO mice compared to control floxed mice at 1 year of age were assessed by RNA-seq using Illumina Hiseq2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level using the CLC genomic workbench. qRT-PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of beta cell transcriptomes following Tead1 deletion in beta cells. islated islet total RNA was used for libraby prep from 3 pooled samples for each of 2 samples for each genotype.
