Purpose:To take a comprehensive effort in characterizing the brain vasculature gene expression upon hyperglycemia.;	;	Methods: We extracted mRNA from brain microvasculature fragments isolated from a genetic mouse model of hyperglycemia (Ins2-AKITA) and WT mice and analyzed their transcriptome with RNA sequencing The samples were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer at the SNP&SEQ sequencing facility (Science for Life laboratory (SciLifeLab), Uppsala sequencing node). The reads were aligned to the Ensembl mouse gene assembly (NCBIM37) using Tophat2 software (version 2.0.4). The duplicated reads were removed using the picard tool (version 1.92). To identify the genes significantly enriched in the pericyte samples as compared with microvascular samples, statistical tests were performed using the Cufflinks tool (version 2.2.1);	;	Results: Twenty-three genes were significantly regulated in mutant when compared to WT (False Discovery Rate < 0.05);	 SOURCE: Liqun He Uppsala University
