Transcript sequencing of mononuclear fractions from dissociated murine skeletal muscle
The important role of mesenchymal progenitors is quickly emerging in various biological processes. Thus far an appropriate marker has been lacking. Here the fractionation of dissociated skeletal muscle and subsequent enrichment of MPs by an established method was employed. Endothelial and blood derived cells comprised the lineage positive fraction and the remaining cell suspension was fractionated using the surface marker Sca1(Ly6a) to enrich for MPs. RNA sequencing was performed on all fractions and subsequent transcriptomic data was interrogated for MP specific transcription factors. Hic1 was found to be highly enriched in the MP fraction. Overall design: Transcripome wide profiling of multiple skeletal muscle cell populations in at least triplicate
