Description
The process of neural tube closure is a highly complex morphogenetic event that results in the generation of the primordial central nervous system. During formation of the neural tube, the non-neural ectoderm separates from the neighboring neural ectoderm and forms a single layer epithelial sheet that overlies the closed neural tube. Previous work has shown that the non-neural ectoderm is necessary for proper cranial neural tube closure, however little is known about this cell population at the molecular level or how the non-neural ectoderm contributes to neural tube closure. In this study, we used a mouse genetic system to fluorescently label the non-neural ectoderm cells and FACS sorted these cells away from the other cell populations in the neural tube. We performed high throughput RNA-sequencing to identify the transcriptome of the non-neural ectoderm and compared the gene expression profile of non-neural ectoderm cells to the remaining population of cells within the neural tube in order to identify which genes are enriched within the non-neural ectoderm. This analysis provides a clue as to which underlying molecular processes may be important for non-neural ectoderm function during neural tube closure. Overall design: mTomato/mGFP dual fluorescent reporter mice were mated to Grhl3-cre mice to generate embryos that expressed a membrane-bound RFP throughout the embryo with specific expression of membrane-bound GFP in the Grhl3+ non-neural ectoderm. Embryos were dissected at 9.5 days post-fertilization and scored for correct genetic recombination. Non-neural tube tissue was dissected away and single cell suspensions were made followed by FACS to sort the GFP+ and RFP+ populations. RNA was isolated immediately and pooled samples of 1ug total RNA were used to generate libraries for sequencing with the Illumina TruSeq RNA sample preparation kit. Pooled RNA was generated from 25 individual embryos all aged betweed 21 and 25 somites. RNA-sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Activation of telomerase often endows cancer cells, but rarely normal somatic cells, with immortality. Especially, fetal lung fibroblasts are known to be hardly immortalized by TERT overexpression. We here established an immortal non-transformed lung fibroblast cell line only by TERT transfection, as well as an immortal transformed cell line by transfection of TERT and SV40 early antigens. Comparing the expression profiles of these cell lines with those of mortal cell strains with elongated lifespan after TERT transfection, 51 genes, including 19 upregulated and 32 downregulated, were explored to be the candidates responsible for regulation of cellular proliferation of lung fibroblasts. These included the genes previously reported to be involved in cellular proliferation, transformation, or self-renewal capacity, and those highly expressed in lung tissues obtained from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This set of lung fibrobrast cell lines/strains of identical genetic background with different proliferative capacity, mortal and immortal non-transformed fibroblasts may become useful model cells for research on lung fibroblast growth regulation and the candidate genes explored in this study may provide promising biomarkers or molecular targets of pulmonary fibrosis.

Description
Deregulated retinal angiogenesis directly cause vision loss in many ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. To identify endothelial-specific genes expressed in angiogenic retinal vessels, we purified genetically labeled endothelial cells from Tie2-GFP transgenic mice and performed gene expression profiling using DNA microarray. To find out genes associated with angiogenesis, comparisons of microarray data were carried out between GFP-negative non-endothelial retinal cells and GFP-positive retinal endothelial cells in angiogenic P8 retina.
