Transcriptome profiling of normal and transformed mouse urothelial cells

Transcriptome analysis of urothelial KRT5-traced and KRT8-traced YFP-sorted cells with and without combinatorial loss of Trp53 and Pten. Bladders from 2-month-old KRT5-CreERT2, Rosa26YFP/LacZ mice, 2-month-old KRT8-CreERT2, Rosa26YFP/LacZ mice, 5-month-old KRT5-CreERT2, p53flox/flox, Ptenflox/flox, Rosa26YFP/+ mice, and 5-month-old KRT8-CreERT2, p53flox/flox, Ptenflox/flox, Rosa26YFP/+ mice were enzymatically dissociated, sorted for YFP by FACS, harvested, resuspended in Trizol and snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis. Overall design: Total RNA obtained from YFP-sorted urothelial cells were harvested and processed for RNA isolation and transcriptome analysis using the MagMAX RNA isolation kit (Ambion). RNA was amplified using SMART-Seq® v4 Ultra® Low Input RNA Kit (Takara # 634891).
