Organism |
Mus musculus |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing

Summary |
Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular functions. The goal of this study is to compare NGS-derived salivary gland transcriptome profilings (RNA-seq) to better understand the molecular nature of the physiological differences in adult murine salivary glands. Methods: Major murine salivary gland mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the gene level with STAR followed by Cufflinks. In vivo NaCl reabsorption measurements were performed for validation. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 15 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10) and identified 1991 genes that were differentially expressed across three major salivary glands. RNA-seq data provided valuable insights into the nature of the functional differences among the major salivary glands Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of murine salivary gland transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. Our results confirm functions of many genes, identified using genetically modified mice. We conclude that RNA-seq-based transcriptome characterization would offer a comprehensive and sensitive evaluation of the gene expression.
