Description
The edr1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana displays enhanced resistance to the powdery mildew Golovinomyces cichoracearum, resulting in cell death and an absence of visible disease symptoms. To better characterize and understand the defense response of edr1, a time course of early signaling responses was performed after inoculation with powdery mildew and compared to the responses of wild-type Col-0. These time points represent early stages in the infection process, before any signs of susceptibility or resistance are visible.

Description
Deficiencies in the ATM gene are the underlying cause for ataxia telangiectasia, a congenital syndrome characterized by neurological, motor and immunological defects, as well as a predisposition to cancer risks. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression and a useful tool for cancer diagnosis, staging, and prediction of therapeutic responses to clinical regimens. In particular, miRNAs have been used to develop signatures for breast cancer profiling. We are interested in the consequences of ATM deficiency on miRNA expression in breast epithelial cells and the potential contribution to cancer predisposition. In this study we investigate the effects of ATM loss on the miRNA expression and related gene expression changes in normal human mammary epithelial cells (HME-CC). We have identified 81 significantly differently expressed miRNAs in the ATM-deficient HME-CCs using small RNA sequencing. Many of these differentially expressed miRNAs have been described and implicated in tumorigenesis and proliferation. These changes include down-regulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs, such as hsa-miR-29c and hsa-miR-16, as well as the over-expression of pro-oncogenic miRNAs hsa-miR-93 and hsa-mir-221. All 81 miRNAs were combined with genome wide gene expression profiles to investigate possible targets of miRNA regulation. We identified messenger RNA (mRNA) targets of these miRNAs that were also significantly regulated after the depletion of ATM. Predicted targets included many genes implicated in cancer formation and progression, including SOCS1 and the proto-oncogene MAF. Integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression allows us to build a more complete understanding of the pathways and networks involved in the breast cancer predisposition observed in individuals deficient in ATM. This study highlights miRNA and predicted mRNA target expression changes in ATM-deficient HME-CCs and suggests a mechanism for the breast cancer-prone phenotype seen in ATM deficient cells and patients. Additionally, this study provides preliminary data for defining miRNA profiles that may be used prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer predisposition. Overall design: Examination of small RNA population in human mammary epithelial cell lines. Each condition was preformed in triplicate.

Description
The objective of this set of samples is to identify genes that are differentially expressed following the introduction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) by ionizing radiation in wild-type murine pre-B cells. The data generated in this project will be compared to the data generated in GSE9024, in which genes that are differentially expressed following the introduction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) by the Rag proteins in murine pre-B cells were examined. In order to understand the differences between the physiologic and genotoxic responses to DSB DNA damage, we need to compare cells that are all in the same compartment of the cell cycle. We are therefore examining the response to IR-induced damage in cells that are arrested in G1, which would correspond to our previous study of G1 arrested cells with Rag-induced breaks. This will illuminate the difference directly, allowing us to better understand the signaling responses to the different types of DNA damage.

Description
The objective is to identify genes that are differentially expressed following the introduction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the Rag proteins in murine pre-B cells. Cells lacking Artemis are used since the Rag-induced DSBs will not be repaired, and thus, will provide a continuous stimulus to the cell.

Description
Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) derive from embryonic precursors, but little is known about how or when this occurs. We have addressed this issue using single cell RNAseq at multiple developmental timepoints to analyze the embryonic murine cortex, one source of adult forebrain NSCs. We computationally identify all major cortical cell types, including the embryonic radial precursors (RPs) that generate adult NSCs. We define the initial emergence of RPs from neuroepithelial stem cells at E11.5. We show that by E13.5 these RPs express a transcriptional identity that is maintained and reinforced throughout their transition to a non-proliferative state between E15.5 and E17.5. These slowly-proliferating late embryonic RPs share a core transcriptional phenotype with quiescent adult forebrain NSCs. Together, these findings support a model where cortical RPs maintain a core transcriptional identity from embryogenesis through to adulthood, and where the transition to a quiescent adult NSC occurs during late neurogenesis. Overall design: We applied the high-throughput single-cell mRNA sequencing technique, Drop-seq, to the embryonic mouse cortex. 2000-5000 single cells from wildtype CD1 embryos of gestational ages E11.5, E13.5, E15.5 and E17.5 were characterized.

Description
CD33-/- and/or TREM2-/- mice were crossed with the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease to generate single and double CD33/TREM2 knock-out mice on 5xFAD background. Transcriptome and gene expression analyses were performed to analyze the impact of CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out on the transcriptome of microglia in the context of amyloid pathology. The results revealed that CD33 and/or TREM2 knock-out reprogrammed microglial gene expression signatures in 5xFAD mice in an age-dependent manner. Differential gene expression in 5xFAD;CD33-/- microglia depended on the presence of TREM2. These data suggest that TREM2 acts downstream of CD33. Overall design: Microglia were isolated from brains of WT, 5xFAD, 5xFAD;CD33-/-, 5xFAD;TREM2-/-, and 5xFAD;CD33-/-;TREM2-/- mice at 4 and 8 months of age, using FACS sorting for CD11b and CD45. RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus Micro Kit (Qiagen). Libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA LT Prep Kit (Illumina) and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer using single-end 50. Reads were aligned to mouse genome mm10 using the STAR aligner. Read counts for individual genes were obtained using HTSeq.

Cells lacking Artemis are used since the Rag-induced DSBs will not be repaired and, thus, will provide a continuous stimulus to the cell. Cells lacking Artemis and Atm are used to determine which gene expression changes depend on Atm and cells lacking Artemis that express an I kappa B alpha dominant negative are used to determine which gene expression changes depend on NFkB.

Description
The mammalian brain is complex, with multiple cell types performing a variety of diverse functions, but exactly how each cell type is affected in aging remains largely unknown. Here we performed a single-cell transcriptomic analysis of young and old mouse brains. We provide comprehensive datasets of aging-related genes, pathways and ligand–receptor interactions in nearly all brain cell types. Our analysis identified gene signatures that vary in a coordinated manner across cell types and gene sets that are regulated in a cell-type specific manner, even at times in opposite directions. These data reveal that aging, rather than inducing a universal program, drives a distinct transcriptional course in each cell population, and they highlight key molecular processes, including ribosome biogenesis, underlying brain aging. Overall, these large-scale datasets provide a resource for the neuroscience community that will facilitate additional discoveries directed towards understanding and modifying the aging process. Overall design: Total of 16 mice brains with raw data for 50,212 single cells and processed data for 37,089 single cells

Description
Differences in the selective pressures experienced by males and females are believed to be ubiquitous in dioecious organisms and are expected to result in the evolution of sexually antagonistic alleles, thereby driving the evolution of sexual dimorphism. Negative genetic correlation for fitness between the sexes has been documented, however, the identity, number and location of loci causing this relationship are unknown.
