Differential gene expression in murine olfactory epithelium: effect of loss of ACE2
RNAseq differential gene expression profiling of olfactory mucosa in young wild type,  ACE2 deficient mice. Purpose: Next-generation gene expression profiling has revolutionized analysis of molecular pathways. The goals of this study were to compare NGS-derived olfactory mucosa transcriptome profiles (RNAseq) of  wild-type mice (control) and  ACE2 knockout mice. Selected genes and pathways will be analyze further by low-throughput techniques such as real-time RT-PCR. Methods: Olfactory mucosa mRNA profiles of 2 months old wild-type (WT) and  ACE2 knockout mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NovaSeq6000 S4 PE150 XP. For inspecting the quality of RNA-Seq data, the 100 most abundant genes are taken from all the samples and heatmaps were generated to observe the relation between samples/conditions. Results: Using our data analysis workflow, we mapped at least 47 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10). Conlusion: Our study represent the first detailed analysis of differential gene expression by RNAseq technology in murine olfactory mucosa.  It is also the first study examining effects of gene knockout for ACE2 on gene expression profile in murine olfactory mucosa. We conclude that these data would help future studies in olfactory mucosa cells aimed to reveal molecular mechanisms associated with aging and biological function of ACE2 genes. RNAseq differential gene expression profiling of olfactory mucosa in wild type and ACE2 deficient mice. Overall design: In this study 6 samples were analyzed. Analysis of 3 biological replicates for each experimental condition was performed. All mice used had C57BL/6J genetic background and were females.
