RNA-seq in mouse Th17 cells

Purpose: To gain more mechanistic insights into the effects of LDHB deletion on T cells, we performed RNAseq in WT and LDHB cKO Th17 cells which cultured in 5% O2. Methods: Total RNA was isolated according to the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) and treated with DNase I. RNA quality was assessed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and RNA Nano Chip kit (Agilent Technologies, CA). RNA-seq libraries were generated using TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Globin Complete kit (Illumina, CA). Approximately 60–80 million paired-end 150 bp reads were generated per sample using Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform Results: RNA-seq revealed quite small different transcriptome patterns mRNA profiles of Th17 cells were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina GAIIx.
