Mice are used universally as model organisms for studying heart physiology, and a plethora of genetically modified mouse models exist to study cardiac disease. Transcriptomic data for whole-heart tissue are available, but not yet for isolated ventricular cardiomyocytes. Our lab therefore collected comprehensive RNA-seq data from wildtype murine ventricular cardiomyocytes as well as from knockout models of the ion channel regulators CASK, dystrophin, and SAP97. We also elucidate ion channel expression from wild-type cells to help forward the debate about which ion channels are expressed in cardiomyocytes. Researchers studying the heart, and especially cardiac arrhythmias, may benefit from these cardiomyocyte-specific transcriptomic data to assess expression of genes of interest.
老鼠被普遍用作研究心脏生理学的模型生物,并且存在大量的基因修饰小鼠模型来研究心脏疾病。全心脏组织的转录组数据是可用的,但尚未用于分离的心室心肌细胞。因此,我们的实验室从野生型鼠心室心肌细胞以及离子通道调节剂 CASK、肌营养不良蛋白和 SAP97 的基因敲除模型中收集了全面的 RNA-seq 数据。我们还阐明了来自野生型细胞的离子通道表达情况,以帮助推进关于哪些离子通道在心肌细胞中表达的争论。研究心脏的研究人员,特别是心律失常的研究人员,可能会从这些心肌细胞特异性转录组数据中受益,以评估感兴趣基因的表达。
