Comment[ArrayExpressAccession] E-GEOD-48078 MAGE-TAB Version 1.1 Public Release Date 2013-06-19 Investigation Title Gene expression changes caused by YAP overexpression and Nf2 deletion in the developing mouse brain Comment[Submitted Name] Gene expression changes caused by YAP overexpression and Nf2 deletion in the developing mouse brain Experiment Description The transcriptional coactivator YAP is the key downstream effector of the Hippo pathway. YAP overexpression in the developing mouse brain results in excessive expansion of the neural progenitor pool and severe perturbation of brain development. Nf2/Merlin is a tumor suppressor whose mutations are found in many human cancers. Loss of Merlin during brain development causes overexpansion of the neural progenitor pool. We used microarrays to identify the gene expression changes caused by YAP overexpression and Nf2 deletion. We used a double-transgenic system to overexpress YAP in the developing mouse brain by crossing mice carrying a doxycycline-dependent allele of YAP1-S127A (TetO-YAP1) with those expressing the reverse tetracycline-dependent transactivator rtTA under the control of the neural progenitor-specific Nestin promoter (Nes-rtTA) and feeding the dam with doxycycline-containing food (200 mg/kg) from E7.5. We conditionally deleted Nf2 using the telencephalon-specific Emx1-Cre.

Data from E11.5 and E13.5 mice were summarized as two separate groups. ID_REF = VALUE = Log2 RMA signal Biotinylated cRNA were prepared according to the standard Affymetrix 3' IVT Express protocol starting with 100 ng of total RNA (GeneChip 3' IVT Express Kit 702646 Rev. 8, 2008-2010, Affymetrix). Following fragmentation, 5 micrograms of biotinylated cRNA was hybridized for 16 hr at 45C on an array (Affymetrix HT MG-430 PM Array Plate). GeneChips were washed and stained in the Affymetrix GeneTitan system. Tissues were dissected in cold PBS, frozen in ethanol/dry ice slurry, and stored at -80 degree. Trizol extraction of total RNA was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. GeneChips were scanned using the Affymetrix GeneTitan system.
