A reduction in Ptprq associated with specific features of the deafness phenotype of the miR-96 mutant mouse diminuendo.

The European journal of neuroscience | 2014

miR-96 is a microRNA, a non-coding RNA gene which regulates a wide array of downstream genes. The miR-96 mouse mutant diminuendo exhibits deafness and arrested hair cell functional and morphological differentiation. We have previously shown that several genes are markedly downregulated in the diminuendo organ of Corti; one of these is Ptprq, a gene known to be important for maturation and maintenance of hair cells. In order to study the contribution that downregulation of Ptprq makes to the diminuendo phenotype, we carried out microarrays, scanning electron microscopy and single hair cell electrophysiology to compare diminuendo mutants (heterozygous and homozygous) with mice homozygous for a functional null allele of Ptprq. In terms of both morphology and electrophysiology, the auditory phenotype of mice lacking Ptprq resembles that of diminuendo heterozygotes, while diminuendo homozygotes are more severely affected. A comparison of transcriptomes indicates there is a broad similarity between diminuendo homozygotes and Ptprq-null mice. The reduction in Ptprq observed in diminuendo mice appears to be a major contributor to the morphological, transcriptional and electrophysiological phenotype, but does not account for the complete diminuendo phenotype.

cPath (tool)

RRID:SCR_001749

Data management software that runs the Pathway Commons web service. It makes it easy to aggregate custom pathway data sets available in standard exchange formats from multiple databases, present pathway data to biologists via a customizable web interface, and export pathway data via a web service to third-party software, such as Cytoscape, for visualization and analysis. cPath is software only, and does not include new pathway information. Main features: * Import pipeline capable of aggregating pathway and interaction data sets from multiple sources, including: MINT, IntAct, HPRD, DIP, BioCyc, KEGG, PUMA2 and Reactome. * Import/Export support for the Proteomics Standards Initiative Molecular Interaction (PSI-MI) and the Biological Pathways Exchange (BioPAX) XML formats. * Data visualization and analysis via Cytoscape. * Simple HTTP URL based XML web service. * Complete software is freely available for local install. Easy to install and administer. * Partly funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, via the Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) and aims to meet silver-level requirements for software interoperability and data exchange.
