View SamplesHere, we performed single nuclear RNA-seq (snRNA-seq) of control and Pitx2 deficient cardiac tissue 3 weeks post myocardial infarction. Next, unsupervised graph-based clustering of the combined snRNA-Seq data set mapped to both introns and exons, comprising 7848 cells. Overall, we identified nine transcriptionally distinct clusters representing all the major cardiac cell types, including cardiac fibroblasts (FB), cardiomyocytes (CM), endothelial cells (EC), vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC), macrophages (Mf), epicardial cells (EpiC), endocardial cells (EndoC), lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC), and mural cells or pericytes (PeC). Moreover, two distinct populations of fibroblasts, designated FB-1 and FB-2, were also identified. Overall design: Cardiac tissue dissociated, nuclei were isolated via density gradient centrifugation, and then ran through the 10X Chromium device to generate snRNA-seq libraries that were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500.

View SamplesColon cancers typically contain tumor cell populations with differential WNT signaling activity. Colon cancer cells with high WNT-activity have been attributed increase tumorigenic potential and stem cell characteristics.
Differential WNT activity in colorectal cancer confers limited tumorigenic potential and is regulated by MAPK signaling.

View SamplesIdiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is characterized by portal hypertension due to obstruction or stenosis of the intrahepatic peripheral portal branches. Researchers have suggested that IPH may be attributed to intrahepatic peripheral portal vein thrombosis, splenic factors, abnormal autoimmunity, and related factors, however, the etiology of IPH remains unclear.

View SamplesHepatic iron overload is a risk factor for progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although the molecular mechanisms underlying this association have remained unclear. We now show that the iron-sensing ubiquitin ligase FBXL5 is previously unrecognized oncosuppressor in liver carcinogenesis in mice. Hepatocellular iron overload evoked by FBXL5 ablation gives rise to oxidative stress, tissue damage, inflammation and compensatory proliferation in hepatocytes and to consequent promotion of liver carcinogenesis induced by exposure to a chemical carcinogen. The tumor-promoting effect of FBXL5 deficiency in the liver is also operative in a model of virus-induced HCC. FBXL5-deficient mice thus constitute the first genetically engineered mouse model of liver carcinogenesis induced by iron overload. Dysregulation of FBXL5-mediated cellular iron homeostasis was also found to be associated with poor prognosis in human HCC, implicating FBXL5 plays a significant role in defense against hepatocarcinogenesis. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from the nontumor and tumor tissue of an Alb-Cre/Fbxl5F/F male mouse (nontumor, n = 5; tumor, n = 5) or two littermate control Fbxl5F/F mice (nontumor, n = 6; tumor, n = 6) at 45 weeks of age.
