Description
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are maternally inherited and are associated with a broad range of debilitating and fatal diseases. Assisted reproductive technologies designed to uncouple the inheritance of mtDNA from nuclear DNA may enable women who carry mtDNA mutations to have a genetically related child with a greatly reduced risk of disease. Here we report for the first time that pronuclear transplantation (PNT) between normally fertilised human zygotes provides an effective approach to preventing transmission of mtDNA disease. We found that the procedures previously used to perform PNT between abnormally fertilized human zygotes are highly inefficient when applied to those that undergo normal fertilization. We have therefore developed an alternative approach based on transplanting PN shortly after completion of the second meiotic division rather than shortly before onset of the first mitosis. This approach promotes highly efficient development to the blastocyst stage without affecting nuclear genome integrity. Furthermore, the expression profile of genes encoded by the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes was indistinguishable from unmanipulated control embryos. Importantly, levels of mtDNA transferred with the nuclear genome are below the threshold for mtDNA disease. Together these data indicate that transplantation of pronuclei early in the first cell cycle holds promise as a safe and effective approach to preventing transmission of mtDNA disease. Overall design: Single-Cell RNA-seq analysis of embryos generated by pronuclear transfer and unmanipulated control embryos The relationship between single cell samples and the embryo from which they were derived is indicated in the sample ''characteristics: sample type'' field.

Description
We characterized the Drosophila third instar eye disc using single cell RNA-seq and labelled the multiple cell populations. The results identified a novel transcriptional switch in photoreceptors relating to axonal projections. We then performed single cell RNA-seq on rbf (Rb) mutants and compared the results to the WT cell populations. This identified a specific cell population only in the Rb mutant tissue. This cell population has an upregulation of HIF1A and glycolitic genes such as Aldolase and Lactate dehydrogenase. As a result these cells produce lactate and undergo apoptosis. We also show this process to be directly regulated by E2F/Dp. The paper uncovers a novel metabolic aspect of Rb/E2F dependent apoptosis. Overall design: examining WT and Rb mutants third instar eye disc using single cell RNA-seq

Description
A permantly active form of the oncogene Akt was expressed in the keratinocytes of the basal proliferative layer of the epidermis. Stem cells of the hair follicle expressing the cell surface marker CD34 were isolated. RNA form the CD34(+) and CD34(-) keratinocytes was extracted and and hybridized to Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Affymetrix arrays.

Description
The etiology of trauma-hemorrhage shock-induced acute lung injury has been difficult to elucidate due, at least in part, to the inability of in vivo studies to separate the non-injurious pulmonary effects of trauma-hemorrhage from the tissue injurious ones. To circumvent this in vivo limitation, we utilized a model of trauma-hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) in which T/HS-lung injury was abrogated by dividing the mesenteric lymph duct. In this way, it was possible to separate the pulmonary injurious response from the non-injurious systemic response to T/HS by comparing the pulmonary molecular response of rats subjected to T/HS which did and did not develop lung injury as well as to non-shocked rats. Utilizing high-density oligonucleotide arrays and treatment group comparisons of whole lung tissue collected at 3 hours after the end of the shock or sham-shock period, 139 of the 8,799 assessed genes were differentially expressed.

Description
We analysed the transcriptional signature in endothelial cells extracted from the bone marrow of mice engrafted with human AML and compared it to the one of mice engrafted with human normal hematopoietic cells Overall design: Immunodeficient mice were transplanted with human AML cells derived from patients, or with normal human hematopoietic cells derived from cord blood. Mice were sacrificed once assessed the bone marrow engraftment, and the bones were processed to isolate endothelial cells using the CD31 marker. RNA was extracted, sequencing libraries were prepared and sequenced.
