Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of SREBP transgenic and SREBP/Endotrophin Transcriptomes

Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived liver transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq). Methods: Alb-CRE/rosa26 rtTA/SREBP(S1a/Ctrl) vs Alb-CRE/rosa26 rtTA/SREBP/TRE-ETP (S1a/ETP) transgenic mice liver (RNAseq) Results: an increase in the levels of markers that are important for immune responses and inflammation and initiating and promoting tumour growth . In addition, genes abundantly expressed in neutrophils (Elane, Mpo, Ngp, Prtn3, Chil3, Cd177, S100a8, S100a9, and Lcn-2) were up-regulated Conclusions: Our data reveal that ETP can act as a “second hit” during NAFLD progression and can play an important role in the development of NASH and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). RNAseq experiment on livers from S1a/Ctrl and S1a/ETP mice . RNA from three mice(pooled) were used per group (doxycycline(200mg/kg) treatment for 10 months).
