Temporal analysis of candidate genes/EST expression by
whole-organ expression profiling of mouse neonatal cerebellum.
(A) Graphical representation of temporal regulation of
the 10 of 12 genes from the training set with confirmed expression in
the cerebellar EGL (Table 1). Note that they show a similar pattern
comprising relatively high levels of expression at PN 3–7 relative to
PN 15–30. (B) Temporal analysis of the remaining 2 of
12 genes (Table 1) from the training set. (C and
D) Pattern of temporal regulation of 18 additional genes
tested (“test set,” Table 1). Note that 8 of 10 genes
(C) displayed a similar pattern to genes in
A. Conversely, HMG1 exhibited a late peak
at PN 15. Seven of nine genes (D) showed a nonspecific
temporal pattern of regulation. It should be noted that the failure to
identify expression of EST69 and FKBP13
could be because of technical reasons such as faulty probe design or
low endogenous levels of expression in vivo.
x axis, duplicate samples of mouse cerebella harvested
at PNs 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 21, and 30 were analyzed; y
axis, absolute value of Avg Diff as reported by Affymetrix software
(scale set at 2,000).
