Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the major secretory immunoglobulin isotype at mucosal surfaces where it regulates microbial commensalism and excludes luminal factors from contacting intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). IEC endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induces a polyreactive IgA response which protects from small intestinal inflammation. IEC ER stress causes expansion and activation of peritoneal B1b cells independent of microbiota and T cells that culminates in increased lamina propria and luminal IgA. Xbp1dIEC mice exhibit IEC ER stress by conditional deletion of X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1). Here we examine single-cell transcriptomes of peritoneal cavity cells of germ-free Xbp1dIEC mice (KO) compared to littermate controls (WT). Overall design: Single-cell gene expression profiles of peritoneal cavity cells of 10-week-old germ-free Xbp1dIEC and WT mice were generated using a droplet-based system (10X Genomics Chromium).

View SamplesTo identify transcription factors critically involved in the Tfh cell transcriptional network, antigen-specific Tfh and non-Tfh cells from a day 8 immune response were analyzed by RNA-seq. Overall design: Ovalbumin-specific T cells from OT-II TCR-transgenic mice were transferred into C57BL/6 recipients, which were immunized subcutaneously with nitrophenol coupled to ovalbumin. Eight days after immunization, transgenic T cells from pooled inguinal lymph nodes were sorted for a CD44hi CXCR5+ PD-1+ Tfh and CD44hi CXCR5- PD-1- non-Tfh cell phenotype for analysis by RNA-seq.

View SamplesAlthough protein acetylation is widely observed, it has been associated with few specific regulatory functions making it poorly understood. To interrogate its functionality, we analyzed the acetylome in Escherichia coli knockout mutants of cobB, the only known sirtuin-like deacetylase, and patZ, the best-known protein acetyltransferase. For four growth conditions, more than 2,000 unique acetylated peptides, belonging to 809 proteins, were identified and differentially quantified. Nearly 65% of these proteins are related to metabolism. The global activity of CobB contributes to the deacetylation of a large number of substrates and has a major impact on physiology. Apart from the regulation of acetyl-CoA synthetase, we found that CobB-controlled acetylation of isocitrate lyase contributes to the fine-tuning of the glyoxylate shunt. Acetylation of the transcription factor RcsB prevents DNA binding, activating flagella biosynthesis and motility, and increases acid stress susceptibility. Surprisingly, deletion of patZ increased acetylation in acetate cultures, which suggests that it regulates the levels of acetylating agents. The results presented offer new insights into functional roles of protein acetylation in metabolic fitness and global cell regulation.

View SamplesPolarity defects are a hallmark of most carcinomas. Cells from invasive micropapillary carcinomas (IMPCs) of the breast are characterized by a striking cell polarity inversion and represent a good model for the analysis of polarity abnormalities. We have performed an in-depth investigation of polarity alterations in 24 IMPCs, compared with invasive carcinomas of no special type (ICNST).
LIN7A is a major determinant of cell-polarity defects in breast carcinomas.

View SamplesThe maintenance of the TFH phenotype depends on continuous signals via ICOS. For a global assessment of differences in gene expression after interruption of the ICOS pathway a genome wide transcriptome analysis was performed. We used the OT-II adoptive transfer system to isolate antigen-specific TFH cells (day 6 after immunization) after short-term (6 hours) blockade of the ICOS pathway using a monoclonal antibody against ICOS-L.
ICOS maintains the T follicular helper cell phenotype by down-regulating Krüppel-like factor 2.

View SamplesIPF (n=20) and control (n=19) samples were obtained through the LTRC and were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 following TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 library preparation. Overall design: Cross-sectional samples were analyzed. IPF diagnosis was based on American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria, and all IPF samples displayed typical patterns of usual interstitial pneumonia. RNA libraries were prepared from 200 ng of high quality total RNA according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The concentration and size distribution of TruSeq libraries was determined on an Agilent Bioanalyzer DNA 1000 chip (Santa Clara, CA), and a final quantification, using Qubit fluorometry (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), was conducted to confirm sample concentration. Libraries were loaded onto paired end flow cells at concentrations of 8-10 pM to generate cluster densities of 700,000/mm2 following Illumina’s standard protocol using the Illumina cBot and cBot Paired end cluster kit version 3. The flow cells were sequenced as 51 X 2 paired end reads on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 using TruSeq SBS sequencing kit version 3 and SCS version 1.4.8 data collection software. Base-calling was performed using Illumina’s RTA version 1.12.4.2.
