| description | To assess the role of LSD1 in mouse small intestinal epithelium, we isolated small intestinal crypts from wild type (WT) (Villin-Cre -; Lsd1f/f) and intestinal-epithelial-specific knock-out (KO) (Villin-Cre+; Lsd1f/f) mice. We dissociated crypts into single cells, and FACS sorted Epcam+ cells, to avoid immune-cell contamination. RNA was directly isolated from these sorted cells, and this was used for RNA seq. As KO crypts are different from WT crypts (KO crypts lack Paneth cells), identifying genes specifically regulated by LSD1 helps us to identify how LSD1 regulates intestinal crypt biology. Specifically, because we were able to combine this with ChIP-seq of the same cells, to identify where H3K4me1 levels (target of the histone demethylase LSD1) were different in the genome. |
