| description | In order to better understand the molecular basis for the heart defects seen in Zic3 null and epiblast CKO embryos, we investigated whether complete or epiblast-specific deletion of Zic3 would impact later embryonic heart development at the transcriptional level by whole genome expression microarray. The whole heart was carefully dissected out from 15.5 dpc Zic3 +/y, Zic3 flox/y, Zic3 flox/y; Sox2-cre, and Zic3 -/y embryos, total RNAs were extracted and purified using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN). Spectrophotometry (NanoDrop-1000 Spectrophotometer, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and microfluidic electrophoresis (Experion Automated Electrophoresis System, Bio-Rad Laboratories) were used for RNA quality control. In vitro transcription was performed using Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems/Ambion). cRNAs were hybridized onto Illumina MouseWG-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChips (Illumina) per manufacturer's instructions. |
