View SamplesHow various ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers bind to nucleosomes to regulate transcription is not well defined in mammalian cells. Here, we present genome-wide remodeller-interacting nucleosome profiles for Chd1, Chd2, Chd4, Chd6, Chd8, Chd9, Brg1 and Ep400 in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. These remodellers bind to nucleosomes at specific positions, either at one or both nucleosomes that flank each side of nucleosome-free promoter regions (NFRs), at enhancer elements, or within gene bodies. At promoters, bidirectional transcription commonly initiates on either side of remodeller-bound nucleosomes. Transcriptome analysis upon remodeller depletion reveals reciprocal mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by remodellers. At active genes, certain remodellers are positive regulators of transcription, whereas others act as repressors. At bivalent genes, which are bound by repressive Polycomb complexes, the same remodellers act in the opposite way. Together, these findings reveal how remodellers integrate promoter nucleosomal architecture to regulate ES cell transcription programs.

View SamplesWe performed single-cell RNA-seq on CD14+ monocytes isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Using the 10x chromium technology, we analyzed 425 and 431 cells from 2 individual donors. Overall design: Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were prepared by centrifugation on a Ficoll gradient. Blood CD14+ monocytes were isolated from healthy donors' PBMC by positive selection using magnetic beads. Monocytes were 93-95% CD14+CD16- as assessed by flow cytometry. Cellular suspensions (1700 cells) were loaded on a 10X Chromium instrument (10X Genomics) according to manufacturer's protocol.

View SamplesMyocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most severe manifestations of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the leading cause of death from non-infectious diseases worldwide. It is known, that the central component of CAD pathogenesis is a chronic vascular inflammation. However, the mechanisms underlying the changes that occur in T, B and NK-lymphocytes, monocytes and other immune cells during CAD and MI are still poorly understood. One of those pathogenic mechanisms might be the dysregulation of intracellular signaling pathways in the immune cells.

View SamplesWe performed single-cell RNA-seq on CD4 T cells isolated from the tonsils of one healthy donor. We used the 10x chromium technology. Overall design: Tonsil CD4 T cells were enriched by negative selection using magnetic beads. Cell populations (CXCR5+PD-1low T cells, CXCR5+PD-1int T cells and CXCR5+PD-1high T cells ) were further isolated by cell sorting. Cellular suspensions (3500 cells) were loaded on a 10X Chromium instrument (10X Genomics) according to manufacturer's protocol.

View SamplesThere are an estimated 21million diabetics in the United States and 150 million diabetics worldwide. The World Health Organization anticipates that these numbers will double in the next 20 years. Metabolic syndrome is a well recognized set of symptoms that increases a patients risk of developing diabetes. Insulin resistance is a factor in both metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. It is characterized by decreased insulin stimulated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues, decreased adiponectin levels, increased adipocyte FFA and cytokine production, and increased insulin and hepatic glucose output. Prevention or reversal of insulin resistance should serve as an important strategy in addressing the growing health concerns posed by the Diabetes epidemic. While increased adiposity is associated with insulin resistance, the role of the cell types present within adipose (adipocytes, pre-adipocytes, endothelial cells, macrophages, fibroblasts, leukocytes and smooth muscle cells) in insulin resistance is unclear. In an effort to begin dissection of this question, we examined the transcriptional response of the buoyant and non-buoyant fractions isolated from insulin sensitive or TNF induced insulin resistant hMSC derived adipocytes before and after treatment with insulin.
