View SamplesHere we show that hematopoietic transcription factors Scl, Lmo2, Runx1 and Bmi1 can convert a developmentally-distant lineage (fibroblasts) into induced hematopoietic progenitors (iHPs). We analyzed transcriptomic data for cell undergoing the transdifferentiation process at several time-points of the process.

View SamplesType II Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (Type II EATL) is an aggressive intestinal T-cell lymphoma with poor prognosis and has not been molecularly profiled. Through targeted amplicon sequencing, we identified a large portion of Type II EATL samples that harbor mutations in the STAT5B, JAK3 and GNAI2 genes. Here we performed gene expression profiling on four Type II EATL samples in order to better characterize this disease. As Type II EATL is suggested to arise from CD8+ IELs, we integrated our data with publicly available profile of CD8 and CD8 T-cells from healthy donors (GSE33374). Gene expression profiling independently demonstrated strong enrichment of several aspects of GPCR and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Moreover, an significant association was identified with genes containing STAT5B binding sites in their promoters.

View SamplesThe causal relationships between insulin levels, insulin resistance, and longevity are not fully elucidated. Genetic down-regulation of insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) signaling components can extend invertebrate and mammalian lifespan, but insulin resistance, a natural form of decreased insulin signaling, is associated with greater risk of age-related disease in mammals. We compared Ins2+/- mice to Ins2+/+ littermate controls, on a genetically stable Ins1-null background. Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of livers from 25 week-old mice suggested potential for healthier aging and altered insulin sensitivity in Ins2+/- mice. Halving Ins2 lowered circulating insulin by 25-34% in aged female mice, without altering Igf1 or circulating Igf1. Remarkably, decreased insulin led to lower fasting glucose and improved insulin sensitivity in aged mice. Moreover, lowered insulin caused significant lifespan extension, observed across two diverse diets. Our study indicates that elevated insulin contributes to age-dependent insulin resistance, and that limiting basal insulin levels can extend lifespan.

View SamplesTwenty one day old seedlings of the mutant and WT grown in hydroponic culture in three replications were subjected to 25% PEG stress for one hour. The leaf samples of stressed and control seedlings were collected and preserved in liquid nitrogen for RNA isolation. Total RNA from four samples i.e. mutant control (MC), mutant stress (MS), Nagina22 control (NC) and Nagina22 stress (NS) was extracted by following the manufacturer‰۪s instructions provided with SV Total RNA isolation system Kit (PROMEGA, USA). All the steps starting from cRNA preparation to hybridization were conducted following the instructions of Affymetrix (AffymetrixGeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual). Chips were washed and stained in the Affymetrix Fluidics Station 450, and then scanned using the Affymetrix Gene Chip Scanner 3000. The cell intensity data files (.CEL) generated by the Gene Chip Operating Software (GCOS 1.2).

View SamplesObesity has emerged as a formidable health crisis due to its association with metabolic risk factors such as diabetes, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Recent work has demonstrated the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in regulating mouse adipose development, but its implication in human adipocytes remain largely unknown at least partially due to the lack of a comprehensive lncRNA catalog, particularly those specifically expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT). In this study, we performed deep RNA-seq on adult subcutaneous, omental and fetal brown adipose tissues to de novo construct a catalog of 3,149 adipose active lncRNAs of which 1,351 are specifically detected in BAT. We further identified 318 lncRNAs conserved between human and mouse which, compared with non-conserved ones, are more broadly expressed in multiple cell types. One of these, lnc-dPRDM16, is transcribed divergently from Prdm16, tightly correlated with Prdm16 (R = 0.7) in both mouse and human, and co-expressed (R = 0.7) with protein-coding genes enriched in lipid and fatty acid catabolic processes. Loss of function of lnc-dPRDM16 led to a down-regulation of Prdm16 and an obvious reduction of adipogenesis in brown adipocyte culture. Together, our work has provided a comprehensive human adipose catalog built from diverse fat types, which when applied to our roadmap, identifies lnc-dPRDM16 as a promising modulator of adipose development for future clinical research.
