small RNA Seq of Subcutaneous adipose tissue from endothelial-AGO1-knockout (EC-AGO1-KO) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates fed 16 week of high fat high sucrose diet

Purpose:to reveal the changes in small RNA, esp. microRNA to correlate with transcriptome changes occuring due to EC-AGO1-KO and further explain the observed phenotype. Methods: Subcutaneous adipose tissue were harvested.Small RNA library was prepared and for sequencing. Results: We found substantial changes in miRNA due to EC-AGO1-KO. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed analysis of Ago1 regulated small RNA transcriptomes in subcutaneous adipose tissue between WT and KO mice. We conclude that small RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions. Overall design: Three biological replica, each collected from an individual mice, per genotype were processed.
