Transcriptome profiling of FGL2-stimulated enteric neural crest cells to investigate metabolic dysregulation in Hirschsprung disease pathogenesis

This dataset comprises bulk RNA sequencing data from primary mouse enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) stimulated with fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) or left untreated as controls. ENCCs were isolated from embryonic day 14–15 C57BL/6J mice and cultured under defined conditions to ensure >95% expression of P75 and nestin markers. Following FGL2 stimulation, total RNA was extracted, and sequencing libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina. Paired-end sequencing (2 × 150 bp) was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The study aims to identify transcriptional changes and signaling pathway alterations induced by FGL2 in ENCCs, providing insights into the role of FGL2-mediated metabolic dysregulation in the pathogenesis of Hirschsprung disease.
