| description | Purpose: The purpose of this study is to characterize genes whose expressions in the initial segment (IS)-caput epididymis were affected by unilateral orchidectomy (UOD), bilateral orchidectomy (BOD), and Nell2 gene ablation. Methods: The unilateral or bilateral orchidectomy of WT mice was performed from 8 weeks old and continued for 4 weeks until tissue sampling at 12 weeks old. Contralateral epididymis was used as a control for UOD. Sham operation was also done as a control for BOD. Nell2-/- mice and their control WT mice were used wthen they were 14-week-old. IS-caput epididymal mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NovaSeq6000. Results: RNA-seq data identified differentially expressed transcripts. Conclusions: Our results show that the expression of many genes was affected by UOD, BOD, and Nell2 ablation. IS-caput epididymal mRNA profiles of mice with experimental treatments were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NovaSeq6000. |
