RNA Seq of Subcutaneous adipose tissue from endothelial-AGO1-knockout (EC-AGO1-KO) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates

Purpose: to profile transcriptome changes due to EC-AGO1-deficiency Methods: Subcutaneous adipose tissue were harvested. RNA was extracted using TRIzol and library was prepared for sequencing. Results: We found genes involved in pathways promoting angiogenesis, browning, insulin sensitivity to be upregulated, and those promoting inflammation and fibrosis to be decreased in KO compared with WT mice. Conclusions:Our study represents the detailed analysis of Ago1 regulate transcriptomes in SAT between WT and KO mice. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions. To elucidate the molecular changes underlying the observed metabolic phenotype in EC-AGO1-KO mice.
