RANKL (receptor acrivator of NFkB ligand) is a member of TNF superfamily cytokines. In the gastrointestinal tract, RANKL is expressed in the stromal cells of Peyer's patches, and involved in the development of the specialized intestinal epithelial cells, called M cells.
The Ets transcription factor Spi-B is essential for the differentiation of intestinal microfold cells.

View SamplesRNA-seq is a powerful tool to analyze differential expression of cellular pathways under different conditions. The goal of this study is to analyze the potential pathways involved in cellular defense against high glucose challenge with or without FGF1 intervention. Overall design: MPC cells were starved for 12 hours in serum-free RPMI-1640 medium and pretreated with FGF1 wild type or FGF1 variant (100 ng/mL) for 1 hour. Then, the cells were challenged with high glucose (25 mM) (with D-mannitol as an osmotic control) for 12 hours. After that, cells were harvested for RNA-seq analysis.

View SamplesSkin-derived precursors (SKPs) are multipotent dermal stem cells that reside within a hair follicle niche and that share properties with embryonic neural crest precursors. Here, we have asked whether SKPs and their endogenous dermal precursors originate from the neural crest or whether, like the dermis itself, they originate from multiple developmental origins. To do this, we used two different mouse Cre lines that allow us to perform lineage tracing: Wnt1-cre, which targets cells deriving from the neural crest, and Myf5-cre, which targets cells of a somite origin. By crossing these Cre lines to reporter mice, we show that the endogenous follicle-associated dermal precursors in the face derive from the neural crest, and those in the dorsal trunk derive from the somites, as do the SKPs they generate. In spite of these different developmental origins, SKPs from these two locations are functionally similar, even with regard to their ability to differentiate into Schwann cells, a cell type only thought to be generated from the neural crest. Analysis of global gene expression using microarrays confirmed that facial and dorsal SKPs exhibit a very high degree of similarity, and that they are also very similar to SKPs derived from ventral dermis, which has a lateral plate origin. However, these developmentally-distinct SKPs also retain differential expression of a small number of genes that reflect their developmental origins. Thus, an adult neural crest-like dermal precursor can be generated from a non-neural crest origin, a finding with broad implications for the many neuroendocrine cells in the body.

View SamplesWe report the miRNA profiling in MEF cells, ES cells and three Pluripotent Stem Cells obtained by three different reprogramming approaches from MEF cells based on Solexa sequencing. iPS cells are reprogrammed by four factors (OSKM) from MEF cells. NT-ESCs were established by reprogramming MEF cells into ESCs using nuclear transfer. NT-iPSCs were established to reflect the combination of nuclear transfer and iPS technologies. iPSCs, NT-ESCs, and NT-iPSCs were exactly derived from the same MEF cells. The results indicate NT-ESCs give expression to the unique miRNAs other than both ESCs and iPSCs while pluripotent cells acquire or retain the pluripotent specific miRNAs compared with MEF. Furthermore, the comparison of different reprogramming cells suggests that several miRNAs have key roles in distinctly developmental potential reprogrammine cells. Overall design: Small RNA profiles of MEF, ES, iPS, NT-ES and NT-iPS cells were generated by Solexa sequencing. MEF and ES cells were performed in triplicate. iPS, NT-ES and NT-iPS cells were sequenced in duplicate.

View SamplesMulticiliated cells (MCCs) possess multiple motile cilia on the cell surface and are widely distributed throughout the vertebrate body to perform important physiological functions by regulating fluid movement in the intercellular space. However, neither their function during organ development nor the molecular mechanisms underlying multiciliogenesis are yet well understood. We aim to study the function of miR-34b in multiciliogenesis.

View SamplesRNAseq analysis was performed to evaluate gene expression differences between strains 1-9 and PAK-AR2.P. aeruginosa PAK-AR2 and 1-9 cells were grown to OD600 of 0.8 before harvesting. The collected cells were treated with RNAprotect Bacteria Reagent (Qiagen) and subjected to snap freezing in liquid nitrogen and delivered to BGI in dry ice for transcriptome resequencing analysis.The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined between PAK-AR2 and 1-9 with the standards of false discovery rate (FDR ) = 0.001, fold change |log2Ratio|=1.A total of 4,355,305 reads matched to the referenced genome in the sample of PAK-AR2, and 3,544,484 reads in the sample of 1-9.Transcriptome data showed that expression of 361 genes were upregulated while 459 genes were down regulated by at least 2-fold when comparing the srpA mutant strain 1-9 to its parent strain PAK-AR2.These genes were classified into 21 major cellular processes based on the annotation of KEGG_B_class or further grouped into several major metabolic pathways, such as ribosomal proteins, type III secretion system (T3SS), type VI secretion system (T6SS), chemotaxis, cell motility, and cell shape control.More and more small proteins that were ignored from typical genome annotations have now been experimentally demonstrated to play important regulatory roles on various bacterial metabolic. Overall design: Gene expression of PAK-AR2 and 1-9 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeqTM 2000.
