A Translational Profiling Approach for the Molecular Characterization of CNS Cell Types

TL;DR: This genetically targeted translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) methodology is a generalizable method useful for the identification of molecular changes in any genetically defined cell type in response to genetic alterations, disease, or pharmacological perturbations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of a Translational Profiling Approach for the Comparative Analysis of CNS Cell Types

TL;DR: In this article, translational profiles for 24 central nervous system (CNS) cell populations and identified known cell-specific and enriched transcripts for each population were presented. But, the translational profile for each cell population was not used in whole-tissue microarray studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normal aging induces A1-like astrocyte reactivity

TL;DR: The aging-induced up-regulation of reactive astrocytes genes was significantly reduced in mice lacking the microglial-secreted cytokines known to induce A1 reactiveAstrocyte formation, indicating that microglia promote astroCyte activation in aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell type–specific mRNA purification by translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP)

TL;DR: This protocol provides a step-by-step guide to implement the TRAP methodology, which takes 2 d to complete once all materials are in hand and bypasses the need for tissue fixation or single-cell suspensions and reports on mRNAs in the entire cell body.
