a1ACT is essential for survival and early cerebellar programming in a critical neonatal window [RNA-Seq]

Previous study has shown that alpha1ACT is a transcription factor involved with regulating neuronal gene expression. We performed a time-series RNA-seq study using pc12 cell lines stably expressing pcDNA3-alpha1ACT at 4 time points (6hr, 24hr, 3day, and 10day) to explore the transcriptional profiles that capture transient and prolonged dynamic changes regulated by alpha1ACT during cell cycle and differentiation Overall design: PC12 cell lines expressing pcDNA3 (EV) and expressing pcDNA3-a1ACT at 4 different time points (6h, 24h, 3d, 10d) were analyzed by Agilent Bio-analyzer and submitted to university of Chicago Functional genomic facility for library preparation (TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold, RS-122-2301) and sequencing on Illumina HiSeq2500 platform, with 3 biological replicates for each condition.
