The experiment aimed at determing the influence of mast cell deficiency on the transcriptome of skin-infiltrating leukocytes in K14HPV16 mice at 2month and 6month of age. Overall design: Skin-inflitrating leucocytes were FACS-purified from mast cell proficient (Mcpt5-Cre-) and mast cell deficient (Mcpt5-Cre+) K14HPV16 mice. Mast cells (CD117 high, FCeR1 high) were excluded from the sorting gate. In order to control for minimal mast cell contamination during sorting from K14HPV16 Mcpt5-Cre- skin, mast cell signature transcripts were identified by comparing transcriptomes of samples fromK14HPV16 Mcpt5-Cre- mice in which mast cells were flow cytometrically included vs excluded.
Although Abundant in Tumor Tissue, Mast Cells Have No Effect on Immunological Micro-milieu or Growth of HPV-Induced or Transplanted Tumors.

MB49 cells were injected i.d. into Mcpt5-Cre+ R26DTA animals and cre-negative littermates. Macrophages were sorted at 20 d.p.i. Overall design: Macrophage RNA profiles of MB49 TAMs (tumor-associated macrophages), harvested at 20 d.p.i. in MC-Proficient and MC-deficient animals

View SamplesGene expression profiling by high-throughput sequencing reveals qualitative and quantitative changes in RNA species at steady-state but obscures the intracellular dynamics of RNA transcription, processing and decay. We developed thiol(SH)-linked alkylation for the metabolic sequencing of RNA (SLAM-seq), an orthogonal chemistry-based epitranscriptomics-sequencing technology that uncovers 4-thiouridine (s4U)-incorporation in RNA species at single-nucleotide resolution. In combination with well-established metabolic RNA labeling protocols and coupled to standard, low-input, high-throughput RNA sequencing methods, SLAM-seq enables rapid access to RNA polymerase II-dependent gene expression dynamics in the context of total RNA. When applied to mouse embryonic stem cells, SLAM-seq provides global and transcript-specific insights into pluripotency-associated gene expression. We validated the method by showing that the RNA-polymerase II-dependent transcriptional output scales with Oct4/Sox2/Nanog-defined enhancer activity; and provides quantitative and mechanistic evidence for transcript-specific RNA turnover mediated by post-transcriptional gene regulatory pathways initiated by microRNAs and N6-methyladenosine. SLAM-seq facilitates the dissection of fundamental mechanisms that control gene expression in an accessible, cost-effective, and scalable manner. Overall design: Wildtype mouse embryonic stem cells (mES cells) were subjected to s4U metabolic RNA labeling for 24 h (pulse, 100 µM s4U), followed by washout (chase) using non-thiol-containing uridine. Total RNA was prepared at various time points along the chase (0h, 0.5h, 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h, and 24h). Total RNA was then subjected to alkylation and mRNA 3' end sequencing library preparation (QuantSeq, Lexogen).
