Transcriptome analyses of skeletal muscle in aB-crystallin/HspB2 knockout and wild-type mice on a normal or high fat diet
We profiled the skeletal muscle transcriptome between wild type and aB-crystallin/HspB2 knock mice exposed to normal chow and high fat diets to examine the role of aB-crystallin/HspB2 in diet induced obesity.   Combined with metabolic profiling of the mice, these data reveal that aB-crystallin/HspB2 is involved in the genesis of insulin resistance on a high fat diet, and we provide extensive RNA profiling to illuminate potential mechanistic insights into the muscle-specific role of aB-crystallin/HspB2. Overall design: Hind limb muscle mRNA profiles of wild type and aB-crystallin/HspB2 knock mice exposed to either normal chow or high fat diets using RNAseq analysis
