The experiment aimed at determing the influence of mast cell deficiency on the transcriptome of skin-infiltrating leukocytes in K14HPV16 mice at 2month and 6month of age. Overall design: Skin-inflitrating leucocytes were FACS-purified from mast cell proficient (Mcpt5-Cre-) and mast cell deficient (Mcpt5-Cre+) K14HPV16 mice. Mast cells (CD117 high, FCeR1 high) were excluded from the sorting gate. In order to control for minimal mast cell contamination during sorting from K14HPV16 Mcpt5-Cre- skin, mast cell signature transcripts were identified by comparing transcriptomes of samples fromK14HPV16 Mcpt5-Cre- mice in which mast cells were flow cytometrically included vs excluded.
Although Abundant in Tumor Tissue, Mast Cells Have No Effect on Immunological Micro-milieu or Growth of HPV-Induced or Transplanted Tumors.

View SamplesRNA seq was used to compare the expression profile of macrophages in presence and absense of mast cells. MB49 cells were injected i.d. into Mcpt5-Cre+ R26DTA animals and cre-negative littermates. Macrophages were sorted at 20 d.p.i. Overall design: Macrophage RNA profiles of MB49 TAMs (tumor-associated macrophages), harvested at 20 d.p.i. in MC-Proficient and MC-deficient animals

View SamplesInduced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been derived from various somatic cell populations through ectopic expression of defined factors. It remains unclear whether iPSCs generated from different cell types are molecularly and functionally similar.

View SamplesInduced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been derived from various somatic cell populations through ectopic expression of defined factors. It remains unclear whether iPS cells generated from different cell types are molecularly and functionally similar. Here, we show that iPS cells obtained from fibroblasts, hematopoietic and myogenic cells exhibit distinct transcriptional and epigenetic patterns. Moreover, we demonstrate that cellular origin influences the in vitro differentiation potentials of iPS cells into embryoid bodies and different hematopoietic cells. Our results suggest that low-passage iPS cells retain a transient epigenetic memory of their somatic cells of origin, which manifests as differential gene expression and altered differentiation capacity. These observations might affect ongoing attempts to use iPS cells for disease modeling and also could be exploited for potential therapeutic applications to enhance differentiation into desired cell lineages.

View SamplesAnalysis of genes that were differentially expressed in axolotl extract reprogrammed tumour xenografts compared to untreated controls. The study provided insight into the biological processes, signalling pathways and gene networks affected by the oocyte extract treatment which resulted in halted tumour growth in mice.
Cancer reversion with oocyte extracts is mediated by cell cycle arrest and induction of tumour dormancy.

View SamplesSalivary glands or larval ovaries were isolated from transgenic flies expressing RNAi targeting Nautilus (control) or linker histone H1 using a Tub-Gal4 driver. Overall design: ~200 larvae were used to isolate salivary glands or ovaries, independently. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent following manufacturer''s guidelines. Then 5 µg of total RNA was separated on a polyacrylamide gel, and 18-29 nt small RNAs were isolated for cloning.

View SamplesRNA sequencing libraries were made for A-498 and 786-O to detect the transcripts regulated by the lincRNA comparing knockdown and the non-targeting control. Overall design: Two siRNAs were designed, non-target control and the siRNAs were introduced to the cell lines A-498 and 786-O separately by Lipofectamine 2000. After 16 hours total RNA were extracted. Barcoded cDNA libraries were then prepared from total RNA using the Illumina TruSeq RNAseq kit, and sequenced (single-end 36-bp reads) on an Illumina HiSeq instrument.

View SamplesWe developed a 5''RNA-seq methodology to concurrently assess gene expression and start-site usage changes. We applied this methodology to study hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in mice harboring a human deleterious mutation. Overall design: 5''RNA-seq analysis of transcriptomes from mouse hearts with or without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Biological replicates were pooled into a single sequencing run. 5''RNA-seq methodology consists of enhanced sequencing of 5'' ends and computational assessment of changes at start-sites of genes.
