Transcriptional profiling of cerebral cortex from a mouse model of Huntington's disease (Q140) crossed with Msh3 heterozygous and homozygous mice [Msh3_cortex]
As part of collaboration between UCLA and CHDI, UCLA is creating knockouts (KOs) of 123 genes, implicated in Huntington's disease (HD) through various computational modeling efforts. Cerebral cortex was isolated from 12-month-old Msh3+/- mice and Msh3-/- (KO) crossed with the Q140 knock-in (KI) HD mice and their respective controls. Transcriptomic analysis (RNASeq) was performed on 6 genotypes: WT, Msh3+/-, Msh3-/-, Q140, Q140 X Msh3+/- and Q140 X Msh3-/-, 8 replicates per genotype. Overall design: RNASeq analysis was performed on samples from the cerebral cortex tissues of 12-month-old Msh3+/-, Msh3-/-, Q140, Q140 X Msh3+/- and Q140 X Msh3-/-, and wild-type mice. N = 8 per group (4F/4M).
