We characterized the Drosophila third instar eye disc using single cell RNA-seq and labelled the multiple cell populations. The results identified a novel transcriptional switch in photoreceptors relating to axonal projections. We then performed single cell RNA-seq on rbf (Rb) mutants and compared the results to the WT cell populations. This identified a specific cell population only in the Rb mutant tissue. This cell population has an upregulation of HIF1A and glycolitic genes such as Aldolase and Lactate dehydrogenase. As a result these cells produce lactate and undergo apoptosis. We also show this process to be directly regulated by E2F/Dp. The paper uncovers a novel metabolic aspect of Rb/E2F dependent apoptosis. Overall design: examining WT and Rb mutants third instar eye disc using single cell RNA-seq
Single cell RNA-sequencing identifies a metabolic aspect of apoptosis in Rbf mutant.

View SamplesAnalysis of transcriptional differences between control and RA-treated cells during cardiac differentiation. The hypothesis tested in these samples is that addition of RA during differentiation towards atrial-like cardiomyocytes while control cells treated with DMSO result in ventricular-like cardiomyocytes. Overall design: NKX2.5 (eGFP/w)-hESCs were differentiated to cardiomyocytes with spin EB protocol, with the addition of RA or DMSO. Cells were sorted at day-31 based on GFP resulting in CTplus, CTminus, RAplus or RAminus goups. RNA was isolated from each of these fractions for sequencing.

View SamplesThe etiology of trauma-hemorrhage shock-induced acute lung injury has been difficult to elucidate due, at least in part, to the inability of in vivo studies to separate the non-injurious pulmonary effects of trauma-hemorrhage from the tissue injurious ones. To circumvent this in vivo limitation, we utilized a model of trauma-hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) in which T/HS-lung injury was abrogated by dividing the mesenteric lymph duct. In this way, it was possible to separate the pulmonary injurious response from the non-injurious systemic response to T/HS by comparing the pulmonary molecular response of rats subjected to T/HS which did and did not develop lung injury as well as to non-shocked rats. Utilizing high-density oligonucleotide arrays and treatment group comparisons of whole lung tissue collected at 3 hours after the end of the shock or sham-shock period, 139 of the 8,799 assessed genes were differentially expressed.

View SamplesWhile it is clear that T cell derived IFN has to act on tumor stroma cells for rejection of solid tumors, it is not clear which tumor stroma cells are targets. We studied how IFN affects gene expression in tumor blood vessels in vivo. To study the effect on endothelial cells, we either used a model of ectopic IFN (MCA313 tumors) or IFN-GFP fusion protein (J558L tumors) expression in tumors, or we used T cell derived IFN in large vascularized 16.113 tumours. Tumors were grown in mice that were expressing the IFN receptor ubiquitously (J558L tumors + IFN-GFP treatment and 16.113 tumors + T cell treatment) or in some experiments the IFN-receptor was expressed exclusively in endothelial cells (MCA313 tumor + IFN treatment).
