View SamplesThe transcription factor T-bet induces differentiation of CD4+ T cells into the Th1 lineage and also allows for a degree of functional plasticity. Here, we show that T-bet acts through super-enhancers to recruit the elongation factor P-TEFb. Th1-specific genes are poised for activation in Th2 cells and P-TEFb recruitment activates transcriptional elongation. T-bet also induces extensive P-TEFb binding at super-enhancers, where it acts to stimulate enhancer RNA transcription. P-TEFb inhibition selectively blocks activation of lineage-specific genes and reverses Th1-associated retinitis pathology. T-bet-mediated recruitment of P-TEFb to super-enhancers at otherwise poised genes provides a model for how lineage-specifying factors promote differentiation towards specific cell fates whilst maintaining a degree of functional plasticity. Overall design: Strand-specific total and poly-A+ RNA-Seq in Th1 and Th2 cells from two independent donors

View SamplesThe hippocampus is part of a brain network essential for memory function. Paradoxically, the hippocampus is also the brain structure that is most sensitive to hypoxic-ischemic episodes. Here we show that the expression of genes associated with glycolysis and glutamate metabolism in astrocytes and the coverage of excitatory synapses by astrocytic processes undergo significant decreases in the CA1 field of the monkey hippocampus during postnatal development. Given the established role of astrocytes in the regulation of glutamate concentration in the synaptic cleft, our findings indicate that a developmental decrease in astrocytic processes underlies the selective vulnerability of CA1 during hypoxic-ischemic episodes in adulthood, its decreased susceptibility to febrile seizures with age, as well as contribute to the emergence of selective, adult-like memory function.
Developmental regulation of gene expression and astrocytic processes may explain selective hippocampal vulnerability.

View SamplesNeuroinflammatory and neuroimmune mechanisms, as exemplified by infiltrating immune cells and activation of resident endothelial/glial cells, respectively, are known to be involved in the establishment and maintenance of chronic pain. An immune system pathway that may be involved in the activation of both immune and glial cells is complement. The complement pathway is made up of a large number of distinct plasma proteins which react with one another to opsonize pathogens and induce a series of inflammatory responses to help fight infection. Cleaved products and complexes produced by complement activation are responsible for a range of effects including mediation of immune infiltration, activation of phagocytes, opsonization/lysis of pathogens and injured cells, and production of vasoactive amines such as histamine and serotonin.

View SamplesFN044, FN211, FN242 and FN303 are the fast neutron generated mutants in cv. Steptoe background. These 4 mutants have lesion mimic phenotype and increase disease resistance to stem rust. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, ling zhang.

View SamplesThis study aims at isolate a subpopulation of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) enrich in thymic epithelial progenitors. While recent studies have shown that bipotent TEC progenitors exist in adults, the identity of thymic epithelial progenitors (TEPCs) is still debated. Using an exclusively in vivo approach, we show that quiescent UEA1– TECs actively proliferate during thymic regeneration in 6-month-old mice and possessed a MHCIIlo Sca1hi CD49fhi CD24lo Plet1– phenotype. We then performed RNA sequencing of UEA1- quiescent (label-retaining cells, called LRCs) cells and compared them to UEA1- GFP- (nonquiescent, NonLRCs) TECs. Overall design: We analyzed 2 samples with one replicate each. Each sample contains pooled cells isolated from 11 mice to reach a minimum of 10000 cells/replicate.
