Expression data from the transplanted kidney and the native kidney of NEP25 mice with/without the treatment of LMB2

A previous study revealed the appropriate amount of LMB2 (1.75 ng/g body wt dissolved in 0.1 ml of PBS containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin [BSA]) needed to induce reproducible a focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) lesions in NEP25 mice. We performed kidney transplantation between NEP25 mice and their wild-type littermates (WTm) which have the same genetic background (C57BL/6N). In this study, the transcriptomic profiles of transplanted and native kidneys with/without LMB2 in nephrotic model mice were investigated using the next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Reads were mapped on mm10 mouse reference genome and quantified using CLC Genomics Workbench version 10.1.1 (QIAGEN). mRNA profiles of murine kidney were generated by RNA sequencing using the NextSeq 500 (Illumina).
