Recent reports have proposed a new paradigm for obtaining mature somatic cell types from fibroblasts without going through a pluripotent state, by briefly expressing canonical iPSC reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc (abbreviated as OSKM), in cells expanded in lineage differentiation promoting conditions. Here we apply genetic lineage tracing for endogenous Nanog, Oct4 and X chromosome reactivation during OSKM induced trans-differentiation, as these molecular events mark final stages for acquisition of induced pluripotency. Remarkably, the vast majority of reprogrammed cardiomyocytes or neural stem cells derived from mouse fibroblasts via OSKM mediated trans-differentiation were attained after transient acquisition of pluripotency, and followed by rapid differentiation. Our findings underscore a molecular and functional coupling between inducing pluripotency and obtaining “trans-differentiated” somatic cells via OSKM induction, and have implications on defining molecular trajectories assumed during different cell reprogramming methods. Overall design: poly RNA-Seq was measured before, during and after conversion of mouse embryonic fibroblasts to neural stem cells using OSKM trans-differentiation method.

View SamplesThe mammalian innate immune system senses many bacterial stimuli through the toll-like receptor (TLR) family. Activation of the TLR4 receptor by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the most widely studied TLR pathway due to its central role in host responses to gram-negative bacterial infection and its contribution to endotoxemia and sepsis. Here we describe a genome-wide siRNA screen to identify genes regulating the human macrophage TNF- response to LPS. We include a secondary validation screen conducted with six independent siRNAs per gene to facilitate removal of off-target screen hits. We also provide microarray data from the same LPS-treated macrophage cells to facilitate downstream data analysis. These data provide a resource for analyzing gene function in the predominant pathway driving inflammatory cytokine expression in human macrophages.

View SamplesTo investigate the role of NKX3.1 in prostate differentiation, we employed transcriptome analysis of mouse seminal vesicle (from 15-month-old Nkx3.1+/+ mice); mouse prostate (from 4-month-old Nkx3.1+/+ and Nkx3.1-/- mice); human prostate cells (RWPE1 cells engineered with empty vector (altered pTRIPZ), NKX3.1 wild type over-expression, and NKX3.1 (T164A) mutant over-expression); and tissue recombinants (generated from combining engineered mouse epithelial cells (seminal vesicle epithelial cells or prostate epithelial cells from 2-month-old mice) and rat UGS mesenchymal cells). Mouse tissue or human cells were snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis.
