Regulating lineage progression of cortical neural stem cells by extrinsic signaling molecule SHH [bulk RNA-seq]

Purpose:To asses changes in gene expression profiles from the P0 wild type littermate controls cortex, hGFAP-Cre, SmoM2f/+ mice cortex and ShhN IUE (ShhN palsmid were electroporated to wild type mice cortex at E13.5 and the cortex were dissected at P0) mice. Methords:Total RNA was isolated and sequenced using an illumina high-seq 2500. Raw data was analyzed using TopHat. Genes were considered significantly changed whicn perform fold-change>=2 and P value <= 0.05 Results: Compared to controls, 2466 genes were significantly down-regulated, and 5289 genes were up regulated in the RNA expression level of the SmoM2 mice; 3492 genes were significantly down-regulated, and 3577 genes were up regulated in the RNA expression level of the cortex of ShhN IUE mice. Cortex RNA profiles of P0 Wild type mice brain, ShhN IUE mice brain and hGFAP-Cre, SmoM2f/+ mice brain
