GSE81446 RNA sequencing identifies differentially expressed genes in embryonic cardiomyocytes following knockdown of DNMT1 expression for 72 h

This study aims to identify the differentially expressed genes in embryonic cardiomyocytes following the knockdown of DNMT1 expression. Methods: Primary cardiomyocytes were isolated from mouse embryonic day (E) 13.5 ventricles, and cultured for 48 h at 37 °C to reach 70-80% confluency. Cells were transfected with either Qiagen FlexiTube GeneSolution (with 4 siRNAs) DNMT1 siRNA (#GS13433) or AllStars negative control siRNA (#1027281) at 12 nM using lipofectamine RNAiMAX (n=3 per treatment). At 72 h after transfection, cells were released with Accutas e (Innovative Cell Technologies, San Diego, CA) and dissociated with Accumax (Innovative Cell Technologies). To sort cardiomyocytes, dissociated cells were stained with anti-VCAM1 antibody conjugated with allophycocyanin (APC; BioLegend, San Diego, CA) and magnetically sorted using anti-APC microbea ds and magnetic assisted cell sorting (MACS) columns (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Total RNA was isolated from the sorted cardiomyocytes with the RNAqueous®-Micro Total RNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). RNA-Seq libraries were prepared with the NEBNext® mRN A Library Prep Master Mix Set for Illumina and NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (NEB, Ipswich, MA). The Illumina-adapted libraries were pooled at equal molar ratio and sequenced with one High Output 1x75 cycles run on a NextSeq500 sequencer (Illumina). The fastq files generated from RNA-Seq wer e uploaded to the UF Research Computing ...
