D-galactosamine (GalN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) effect on GBP5 deficient liver
Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare transcriptome profilings of liver from GBP5 knockout and WT control mice treated with GalN/LPS. Methods: GBP5 knockout and WT control mice were treated with GalN (800 µg/g body weight) and LPS (100 ng/g body weight) for 6 h to induce liver inflammation and injury. RNA samples were pooled from livers of GBP5 KO and WT mice (n=4 for each group). RNA-seq was performed by using HiSeq X Ten platform. Paired-end clean reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome (Ensembl_GRCm38.89) with TopHat (version 2.0.12), and the aligned reads were used to quantify mRNA expression by using HTSeq-count (version 0.6.1). Conclusion: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of liver transcriptomes from GBP5 KO and WT mice treated with GalN/LPS, generated by RNA-seq technology. The RNA-seq analysis showed that 405 genes were down-regulated and 33 genes were up-regulated in the liver of GBP5 KO mice. GO analysis showed that the down-regulated genes were primarily related to the immune system process and response to stress. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that phagocytosis and Jak-STAT signaling pathway were significantly decreased in the liver of GBP5 KO mice. Overall design: RNA samples were pooled from livers of GBP5 KO and WT mice (n=4 for each group). mRNA profiles of GBP5 KO and WT livers treated with GalN/LPS were generated by deep sequencing, in a single test, using HiSeq X Ten platform.
