Quorum sensing controls the expression of multiple virulence factors. PA14 genes lasR and rhlR are necessary for quorum sensing via homoserine lactones.
Quorum sensing enhancement of the stress response promotes resistance to quorum quenching and prevents social cheating.

View SamplesTranscriptional profiling of murine dendritic cells stimulated with LPS and IFNg after shRNA knockdown of redox regulators. Overall design: shRNA targeting redox regulators were delivered to bone marrow derived dendritic cells. Cells were stimulated with LPS and IFNg prior to transcriptional profiling by RNAseq over a time course. Each sample sequenced on two Illumina lanes.

View SamplesThymic lymphomas develop spontaneously in LN3 mice. As for T-ALL in general, ex vivo LN3 lymphoma cells require stromal support to remain viable in culture. We found that primary stromal cells from thymic lymphomas, but not from wild-type thymi, support ex vivo lymphoma survival. By FACS sorting stromal populations, we identified dendritic cells in the tumor microenvironment as the cells capable of supporting lymphoma survival.
Endogenous dendritic cells from the tumor microenvironment support T-ALL growth via IGF1R activation.

View SamplesThe liver parenchyma is composed of hepatocytes and bile duct epithelial cells (BECs). Controversy exists regarding the cellular origin of human liver parenchymal tissue generation during embryonic development, homeostasis or repair. Here we report the existence of a hepatobiliary hybrid progenitor (HHyP) population in human fetal liver using single-cell RNA sequencing. HHyPs are anatomically restricted to the ductal plate of fetal liver and maintain a unique transcriptional profile distinct from fetal hepatocytes, mature hepatocytes and mature BECs. In addition, molecular heterogenicity within the EpCAM+ population of freshly isolated fetal and adult human liver reveals diverse gene expression signatures of hepatic and biliary lineage potential. Finally, we FACS isolated fetal HHyPs and confirmed their hybrid progenitor phenotype in vivo. Our study suggests that hepatobiliary progenitor cells previously identified in mice also exist in humans, and can be distinguished from other parenchymal populations, including mature BECs, by distinct gene expression profiles. Overall design: Primary samples from 5 2nd trimester human fetal livers and 3 uninjured adult human livers for single cell RNA sequencing by Smartseq2.
Single cell analysis of human foetal liver captures the transcriptional profile of hepatobiliary hybrid progenitors.

View SamplesAll highly and poorly permeable metastases from the same mouse brain were collected by laser capture microdissection. Total RNA from both metastatic lesions and immediate microenvironment was isolated from 5 mice bearing 231-BR metastases. As control 4 healthy mouse brains were included.

View SamplesTo gain insight into the signaling pathway(s) required for ABL1/ABL2-dependent bone metastasis, we evaluated the consequences of single or double inactivation of ABL1 and ABL2 on the transcriptome of breast cancer cells. Double ABL1/ABL2 knockdown was required to decrease the levels of p-CrKL by more than 90%, indicative of inactivation of the endogenous ABL kinases. To examine the consequences of depleting the ABL kinases on the transcriptome of metastatic breast cancer cells we employed next generation sequencing (RNAseq) analysis. We found that 180 genes were significantly down-regulated and 40 genes were significantly up-regulated in ABL1/ABL2 knockdown cells. Overall design: Four samples were analyzed control, Abl single knockdown, Arg single knockdown, Abl/Arg double knockdown. Experiments were performed in triplicate.
