This study takes on the problem of bridging transcriptional data to neuronal phenotype and function by using publicly available datasets characterizing distinct neuronal populations based on gene expression, electrophysiology and morphology. In addition, a non-published PatchSeq dataset of Pvalb-cre positive cells in CA1 was used, which is the dataset submitted here. Taken together, these datasets were used to identify cross-cell type correlations between these data modalities. Detected correlations were classified as “class-driven” if they could be explained by differences between excitatory and inhibitory cell classes, or “non-class driven” if they could be explained by gradient like phenotypic differences within cell classes. Some genes whose relationships to electrophysiological or morphological properties were found to to be specific to either excitatory or inhibitory cell types. The Patch Seq data specifically allowed simultaneous single-cell characterization of gene expression and electrophysiology, showing that the gene-property correlations observed across cell types were further predictive of within-cell type heterogeneity. Overall design: Patchseq data was collected from single cells of the mouse hippocampus CA1 in order to investigate correlations between gene expression patterns and electrophysiological properties of various interneuron cell classes 19 individual cells Re-analysis details included in supplementary file readme.txt.

View SamplesIn order to investigate how electrophysiological properties vary within the Pthlh population in the dorsolateral striatum we performed PatchSeq analysis of neurons labeled in 5HT3a(EGFP) and Pvalb(cre)::RCE/tdTomato mouse lines, which included Th, Npy/Mia, Cck, and Cck/Vip expressing cells. Overall design: 98 FACS-sorted single cells isolated from the dorso-lateral striatum from either a 5ht3a-EGFP mouse line or a Lhx6-cre mouse crossed onto a R26R-tdTomato reporter mouse line

View SamplesSuperparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are currently being investigated for a range of biomedical applications. Their use have been related with different cytotoxic mechanisms including the generation of oxidative stress and the induction of metal detoxification pathways, among others. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to in-house fabricated citrate coated SPIONs (C-SPIONs) in the nematode C. elegans to compare in vivo findings with previous in vitro studies. C-SPIONs (500 g/ml) affected the transcriptional response of signal transduction cascades (i.e. TFG-beta), protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and RNA transport, among other biological processes. They also triggered a lysosomal response, indicating a relevant biological role of this cellular compartment in the response to this nanoparticle treatment in C. elegans. Interestingly, other pathways frequently linked to nanotoxicity like oxidative stress or apoptosis were not identified as significantly affected in this genome-wide in vivo study despite the high dose of exposure.

View SamplesSuperparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) are currently being investigated for a range of biomedical applications. Their use have been related with different cytotoxic mechanisms including the generation of oxidative stress and the induction of metal detoxification pathways, among others. Different NP coatings are being explored, among them albumin which has been applied in some drugs delivery systems. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to in-house fabricated SPIONs coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA-SPIONs) in the nematode C. elegans to compare in vivo findings with previous in vitro studies. BSA-SPIONs (500 g/ml) affected the transcriptional response of glycan metabolic pathways related to innate immune response, xenobiotics degradation, and triggered a lysosomal response, indicating a relevant biological role of this cellular compartment in the response to this nanoparticle treatment in C. elegans. Remarkably, key biological functions such as apoptosis or protein processing were not affected with significance despite the high dose of exposure.

View SamplesSirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase downregulated in aging and age-associated diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and high fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders. Thus, we performed a small molecule screen and identified an unexpected metabolic vulnerability associated with SIRT3 loss. Overall design: RNA sequencing in SV40T immortalized SIRT3 WT (triplicates) and SIRT3 KO MEF (duplicates) lines under normal conditions.

View SamplesExpression of DREAM in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord is related to endogenous control mechanisms of acute and chronic pain. In primary sensory trigeminal neurons high levels of endogenous DREAM protein are preferentially localized in the nucleus, suggesting a major transcriptional role. Here, we show that DREAM participates in the control of trigeminal pain perception through the regulation of prodynorphin and BDNF. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of trigeminal neurons in daDREAM transgenic mice revealed that cathepsin L (CTSL) and the monoglyceride lipase (MGLL) are new DREAM downstream targets and have a role in the regulation of trigeminal nociception.

View SamplesPurpose: To compare diversity of primary human CD8+ T cells that have divided 0, 1, or 2 times on day 3 of ex vivo expansion from naïve resting state. Methods: Naïve T cells were enriched from human peripheral blood monoluclear cells (PBMCs), labeled with CFSE dye, and expanded for 3 days using rapid expansion protocol (Li, Y. & Kurlander, R.J. Journal of Translational Medicine, 2010). On day 3, 10,000 single live CFSE+ CD8+ T cells from each of divisions 0, 1, and 2 were sorted and immediately processed using 10X Genomics single-cell RNA-sequencing platform. Results: We found that undivided cells display the highest gene expression diversity. Using 1,000 most variably expressed genes, we created a force-directed layout, representing a phenotypic map of cellular differentiation across division states. To understand the basis of T-cell diversity, we defined and quantified regions of interest on this map based on diffusion pseudo-time (DPT), a metric of cell differentiation state. Finally, we examined gene expression in cells from each region and found that undivided cells acquire gene expression associated with effector cell function, while remaining cells go on to grow and differentiate. Conclusions: Our study provides insights into T-cell differentiation within an ex vivo expansion system for cancer immunotherapy applications. Overall design: A total of 4,060 cells (division 0: n = 552 cells, division 1: n = 1,777 cells, division23: n = 1,731 cells) were sequenced to an average of 52,040 post-normalization reads per cell capturing a median of 18,770 unique molecular identifier (UMI) counts per cell mapping to 3,544 unique genes per cell.

View SamplesCells adapt to environmental stressors such as heat shock and extracellular acidosis through formation of nuclear membrane-less compartments called Amyloid bodies (A-bodies). Stressors activate formation of Amyloid bodies (A-bodies) via induction of ribosomal intergenic spacer RNA (rIGSRNA). RNA-seq on non-ribosome depleted RNA from human MCF7 cells exposed to heat shock (43C, 30 minutes) revealed the heat shock-specific expression profile of rIGSRNA. Overall design: Expression profile of the ribosomal intergenic spacer (i.e. rIGSRNA) in cells exposed to heat shock
