WT and Hira-null undifferentiated mESCs and day15 differentiated cardiomyocytes
Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) resulting from the knockout of Hira in undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and in day 15 differentiated cardiomyocytes.Methods: RNA extraction was done in duplicate from WT and Hira-null mESCs at day0 and day15 using TRIzol reagent. RNAseq was done onIllumina Nextseq500 and processed by the ICH genomics facility, reads were aligned and normalised using BOWTIE and DEseq R2 package. Gene lists were filtered using adjusted p-value = 0.05 and absolute fold change = 2. Results:We identified 1680 transcripts changed in the absence of HIRA in day 15 differentiated cardiomyocytes. GO term cardiovascular system development was the most downregulated gene set(p-value = 0.01 and FDR =0.1. Conclusion: this study analysis the role of HIRA in early cardiac mesoderm development usinf an invitro mESCs  model. Overall design: mRNA profile of WT(control) and Hira-null (KO) undifferentiated mESCs and mESCs- derived cardiomyocytes at day15 were generated by deep sequencing in duplicates using Illumina Nextseq 500 platform.
