This dataset is part of a study that investigated how the hematopoietic system coordinates the rapid and efficient regeneration of the megakaryocytic lineage during stress scenarios. We found that the phenotypic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment contains stem-like megakaryocyte-committed progenitors (SL-MkPs), a cell population that shares many features with multipotent HSCs and serves as a lineage-restricted emergency pool for inflammatory insults. This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing data of 30 hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells which, in the context of our study, confirmed that MK-specfic transcripts are of highly variable expression in HSCs. The dataset further showed that variations in MK transcript expression in HSCs is not correlated with global transcriptomic rearrangements. Overall design: Murine bone marrow cells were sorted by Lin-cKit+CD150+CD48- (referred to as cd150+ in the following) and Lin-cKit+CD150- (referred to as cd150- in the following). Transcriptomes of 11 cd150- and 9 cd150+ HSCs were determined using QUARTZ, a single-cell RNASeq protocol

View SamplesHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major health problem as it afflicts an increasing number of patients worldwide. Albeit most of the risk factors for HCC are known, this is a deadly syndrome with a life expectancy at the time of diagnosis of less than 1 year. Definition of the molecular principles governing the neoplastic transformation of the liver is an urgent need to facilitate the clinical management of patients, based on innovative methods to detect the disease in its early stages and on more efficient therapies. In the present study we have combined the analysis of a murine model and human samples of HCC to identify genes differentially expressed early in the process of hepatocarcinogenesis, using a microarray based approach. Expression of 190 genes was impaired in murine HCC from which 65 were further validated by low-density array RT PCR. The expression of the best 45 genes was then investigated in human samples resulting in 18 genes which expression was significantly modified in HCC. Among them, JUN, methionine adenosyltransferase 1A and 2A, phosphoglucomutase 1, and acyl CoA dehydrogenase short branched chain indicate defective cell proliferation as well as one carbon pathway, glucose and fatty acid metabolism, both in HCC and cirrhotic liver, a well known preneoplastic condition. These alterations were further confirmed in public transcriptomic datasets from other authors. In addition, vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein, an actin-associated protein involved in cytoskeleton remodelling, was also found to be increased in the liver and serum of cirrhotic and HCC patients. In addition to revealing the impairment of central metabolic pathways for liver homeostasis, further studies may probe the potential value of the reported genes for the early detection of HCC.

View SamplesAn unbalanced karyotype, a condition known as aneuploidy, has a profound impact on cellular physiology and is a hallmark of cancer. Determining how aneuploidy affects cells is thus critical to understanding tumorigenesis. Here we show that aneuploidy interferes with the degradation of autophagosomes within lysosomes. Mis-folded proteins that accumulate in aneuploid cells due to aneuploidy-induced proteomic changes overwhelm the lysosome with cargo, leading to the observed lysosomal degradation defects. Importantly, aneuploid cells respond to lysosomal saturation. They activate a lysosomal stress pathway that specifically increases the expression of genes needed for autophagy-mediated protein degradation. Our results reveal lysosomal saturation as a universal feature of the aneuploid state that must be overcome during tumorigenesis. Overall design: RPE-1 cells either untreated or treated with one of Reversine, Bafilomycin A1 or MG132, each condition was done in triplicate. D14-*_Control: untreated control D14-*_Rev: cells treated with 0.5uM Reversine for 24hrs and harvested 48hrs later D14-*_Baf: cells treated with 0.1uM BafA1 for 6hrs D14-*_Mg: cells treated with 1uM MG132 for 24 hrs

Following, cells were transduced with a lentiviral vector carrying the Eomes gene or with an empty vector. Infected cells were then enriched by MACS separation using the reporter gene NGFR as selection marker. Finally, cells were frozen for RNA analysis.

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to establish an in vitro model to investigate the initial stages of human implantation based on co-culture of a) immortalized cells representing the receptive (Ishikawa) or non-receptive (HEC-1-A) endometrial epithelium with b) spheroids of a trophoblastic cell line (JEG-3) modified to express green fluorescent protein. After co-culturing Ishikawa cells with trophoblast spheroids, 310 and 298 genes increased or decreased their expression compared to non-co-cultured Ishikawa control cells, respectively; only 9 genes (5 increased and 4 decreased) were differentially expressed in HEC-1-A upon co-culture with trophoblast spheroids. Compared to HEC-1-A, the trophoblast challenge to Ishikawa cells differentially regulated the expression of 495 genes. In summary, upon co-culture with the trophoblast spheroids, non-receptive epithelium is characterized by a muted transcriptional response which in turn fails to activate the full transcriptional response that trophoblast spheroids undergo when co-cultured with receptive epithelium. Overall design: GFP expressing JEG-3 spheroids were co-cultured with confluent monolayers of receptive Ishikawa or non-receptive HEC-1-A epithelia. After 48 hours of co-culture, GFP+ (trophoblast JEG-3 spheroid cells) and GFP- cell fractions (receptive Ishikawa or non-receptive HEC-1-A epithelial cells) were isolated by fluorescence-activated flow cytometry (FACS). The specific transcriptional changes of the isolated cell populations were analyzed by RNA-seq profiling. Statistical significance of gene expression differences was set at an absolute log2 fold change (log2FC) =1 and an adjusted p-value <0.05.
