View SamplesAim: to perform a genome-wide investigation of chromatin landscape and gene expression patterns downstream of calcium and kinase signaling in Jurkat T cells. Methods: PMA and ionomycin were used to activate the calcium and kinase signalling networks involved in T cell activation. Global gene expression was measured using RNA-seq, whilst ATAC-seq was used to probe chromatin landscape following 3 hours of stimulation with PMA, ionomycin or both. All experiments were performed in triplicate. For RNA-seq all sequencing was performed using paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2500 instrument. For ATAC-seq sequencing was performed using a HiSeq 1500. Results: we mapped approximately 60 million reads per sample for ATAC-seq, and 22 million reads per library for RNA-seq. Overall we identified 57,825 transcripts and 19,763 ATAC-seq peaks. We identifiead 1648 genes whose expression was increased by 2-fold or more by at least one treatment in comparison to untreated cells. Similarly, we identified 3972 ATAC peaks that were induced by at least 2-fold by treatment in comparison to untreated cells. Conclusions: we found that chromatin landscape was associated with gene expression downstream of calcium and kinase signaling in Jurkat cells. Further to this we found that activation of the full complement of TCR-responsive genes is dependent upon both PMA and ionomycin, and amounts to more than just the sum of both. Overall design: RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing were performed after 3 hours of treatment with either PMA, ionomycin or co-treatment with PMA and ionomycin.

View SamplesAging is a key factor in Alzheimer''s disease, but it''s correlation with the pathology and pathological factors like amyloid-beta remains unclear In our study we aimed to provide an extensive characterisation of age-related changes in the gene expression profile of APP23 mice and controls and correlate these changes to pathological and symptomatic features of the model We found a clear biphasic expression profile with a developmental and aging phase. The second phase, particularly, displays aging features and similarties with the progression of Alzheimer pathology in human patients Processes involved in microglial activation, lysosomal processing, neuronal differantion and cytoskeletal regulation appear key factors in this stage. Interestingly, the changes in the gene expression profile of APP23 mice also seem to occur in control animals, but at a later age. The changes appear accelerated and/or exacerbated in APP23 mice. Overall design: mRNA profiles of APP23 mice and wild-type control littermates aged 1.5, 6, 18 or 24 months. For all the age groups, samples of 3 mice of each genotype were analyzed
Aging, microglia and cytoskeletal regulation are key factors in the pathological evolution of the APP23 mouse model for Alzheimer's disease.

View SamplesPurpose: Identify zebrafish microglia transcriptome in the healthy and neurodegenerative brain. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed on FACS-sorted microglia (3x), other brain cells (3x) and activated microglia (4x). Microglia activation was induced using nitroreductase-mediated cell ablation. 10-20 million reads per sample were obtained. Reads were mapped to zebrafish genome GRC10. Results: We identified the zebrafish microglia transcriptome, which shows overlap with previously identified mouse microglia transcriptomes. Transcriptomes obtained 24h and 48h after treatment appeared highly similar. Therefore, these datasets were pooled. Additionally, we identified an acute proliferative response of microglia to induced neuronal cell death. Overall design: Zebrafish microglia transcriptomes of homeostatic microglia (triplicate), other brain cells (triplicate), activated microglia 24h (duplo), activated microglia 48h (duplo). In data analysis all activated microglia samples were pooled.

View SamplesPhysical exercise training is a known protective factor against cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, the underlying specific molecular mechanisms still remain uncompletely explored. To identify molecular mechanisms by which exercise training induces this favorable phenotype a genomic approach was used in an animal model of mild exercise previously demonstrated by our group to induce cardioprotection.

View SamplesBackground: Tissue macrophages contribute to development and protection, both requiring appropriately timed and located source(s) of factors controlling growth, cell differentiation and migration. Goal: To understand the role of microglia (tissue macrophages of the central nervous system), in promoting neurodevelopment and controlling neuroinflammation. Summary of findings: We show that microglia fulfill both these roles. In contrast to adult cells, neonatal microglia show a unique neurogenic phenotype with stem cell-like potential. Neonatal microglia are protective against neuroinflammation, and their transplantation ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. A CD11c+ microglial subset predominates in primary myelinating areas of the developing brain and expresses genes for neuronal and glial survival, migration and differentiation. CD11c+ microglia are also found in clusters of repopulating microglia after experimental ablation and in neuroinflammation in adult mice, but despite some similarities, they do not recapitulate neurogenic neonatal microglia characteristics. Conclusions: We therefore identify a unique phenotype of neonatal microglia that deliver signals necessary for neurogenesis and myelination and suppress neuroinflammation. Overall design: The overall design was to compare transcriptomes of subsets of microglia isolated from neonatal mice, healthy adults, and adult mice with a neuroinflammatory disease (Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, EAE), and to compare anti-inflammatory function of adult and neonatal microglia. Microglia were isolated by cell-sorting based on surface phenotype, and RNAseq data was analyzed using WGCNA, GO and DAVID approaches. Expression of selected genes and pathways was confirmed by histology and flow cytometry. Functional analysis involved transfer of isolated microglia to the central nervous system of animals with EAE and evaluation of outcome. EAE = Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
