We applied RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to map the global changes in gene expression of interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) of mice subjected to acute cold exposure for 3 days. Here we find extensive changes in the iBAT transcriptome in response to cold with a prominent induction of genes associated to lipid-related metabolic processes. Overall design: RNA-seq of poly-A enriched RNA isolated from brown adipose tissue of 5 mice housed at room temperature (22°C) and 5 mice exposed to cold (4°C) for 3 days.

View SamplesIn the retina of adult teleosts, stem cells are sustained in two specialized niches: the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) and the microenvironment surrounding adult Mller glia. Recently, Mller glia were identified as the regenerative stem cells in the teleost retina. Secreted signaling molecules that regulate neuronal regeneration in the retina are largely unknown. In a microarray screen to discover such factors, we identified midkine-b (mdkb). Midkine is a highly conserved heparin-binding growth factor with numerous biological functions. The zebrafish genome encodes two distinct midkine genes: mdka and mdkb. Here, we describe the cellular expression of mdka and mdkb during retinal development and the initial, proliferative phase of photoreceptor regeneration. The results show that in the embryonic and larval retina mdka and mdkb are expressed in stem cells, retinal progenitors and neurons in distinct patterns that suggest different functions for the two molecules. Following the selective death of photoreceptors in the adult, mdka and mdkb are co-expressed in horizontal cells and proliferating Mller glia and their neurogenic progeny. These data reveal that Mdka and Mdkb are signaling factors present in the retinal stem cell niches in both embryonic and mature retinas, and that their cellular expression is actively modulated during retinal development and regeneration.
