Description
Background: NK cells during chronic viral infection have been well studied over the last decade. We performed an unbiased next-generation RNA-sequencing approach to identify commonalities or differences of the effect of HIV, HCV and HBV viremia on NK cell transcriptomes. Methods: Using cell sorting, we obtained CD3-CD56+ NK cells from blood of 6 HIV, 11 HCV, and 32 HBV infected and untreated patients. Library preparation and sequencing were done using Illumina mRNA-Seq Sample Prep Kit and the HiSeq 2000, HiSeq2500 or NextSeq 500, and further analysis by an in-house analytic pipeline. Results: In NK cells from HIV, HCV and HBV patients, transcriptome analysis identified 272, 53, and 56 differentially expressed genes, respectively (fold change >1.5, q-value 0.2). Interferon stimulated genes were induced in NK cells from HIV/HCV patients, but not during HBV infection. HIV viremia downregulated ribosome assembly genes in NK cells. In HBV, viral load and ALT variation had little effect on genes related to NK effector function. Conclusion: We compare, for the first time, NK cell transcripts of viremic HIV, HCV and HBV patients. We clearly demonstrate distinctive NK cell gene signatures in 3 different populations, suggestive for a different degree of functional alterations of the NK cell compartment as compared to healthy individuals. Overall design: We analyzed NK cell transcripts collected from the blood of well-characterized chronic HBV patients (n=32), chronic HCV patients (n=8), and HIV patients (n=6). Differential gene expression analysis, global module analysis, and unsupervised clustering analysis were performed by employing RNA-sequencing on blood NK cell transcriptomes.

Description
The transcription-related DNA damage response was analyzed on a genome-wide scale with great spatial and temporal resolution. Upon UV irradiation, a slowdown of transcript elongation and restriction of gene activity to the promoter-proximal ~25 kilobases is observed. This is associated with a shift from expression of long mRNAs to shorter isoforms, incorporating alternative last exons (ALEs) that are more proximal to the transcription start site. Notably, this includes a shift from a protein-coding ASCC3 mRNA to a shorter transcript isoform of which the RNA, rather than an encoded protein, is critical for the eventual recovery of transcription. The protein-coding ASCC3 isoform counteracts the function of the non-coding isoform, indicating crosstalk between them. Thus, the ASCC3 gene expresses both coding and noncoding transcript isoforms with opposite effects on transcription recovery after UV-induced DNA damage

Overall design: Cells were treated with DRB (100 µM, 3.5 hrs), followed by UVC irradiation (15 J/m2) or left untreated. Cells were washed with PBS to remove DRB immediately after UV irradiation and incubated for 10, 25 or 40 minutes, followed by cell lysis and nuclei isolation. Nuclei were processed for GRO-Seq.

Description
Expression profiles of 917 pathway repoter genes were determined by AmpliSeq-RNA in primary human hepatocytes treated with Diclofenac and a test compound 3 hours after treatment. Overall design: Vehicle control, diclofenac, and three doses of the test compound (small-molecule neurotransmitter receptor antagonist) were applied to three primary cell lines, with three biological replicates in each group. In some treatment groups read-outs were only available for two samples. All together 41 samples were profiled.

Description
Gene expression studies from hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) populations purified to variable degrees have defined a set of stemness genes. The present study describes the construction and comparative molecular analysis of l-phage cDNA libraries from highly purified primitive HSCs (PHSCs) which retained their long term repopulating activities (LTRAs), and from maturing HSCs (MHSCs) which were largely depleted of LTRAs. Library inserts were amplified and tagged by a T7 RNA polymerase promoter and used to generate biotinylated cRNA for Microarray hybridization. Microarray analysis of the libraries confirmed previous results but also revealed an unforseen preferential expression of translation and metabolism associated genes in the PHSCs. Therefore these data indicate that HSCs are quiescent only in regard of proliferative activities, but are in a state of readiness to provide the metabolic and translational activities required following induction of proliferation by factors which induce differentiation and exit from the HSC pool.

Description
A GFP-expressing recombinant A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 influenza virus was used to infect C57BL/6 wild type mice and on day 3 post infection, lung alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) were isolated and sorted based on GFP expression. GFP+ AEC represent the infected AEC and GFP- AEC represent the bystander AEC. AEC were also sorted from uninfected mice to serve as controls. Overall design: AEC from infected mice were pooled to make three (3) infected GFP+ AEC replicates for sequencing. Five (5) bystander GFP- replicates and five (5) uninfected AEC replicates were also isolated for sequencing

Description
There is increasing appreciation for sexually dimorphic effects, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are only partially understood. In the present study, we explored transcriptomics and epigenetic differences in the small intestine and colon of prepubescent male and female mice. In addition, the microbiota composition of the colonic luminal content has been examined. At postnatal day 14, male and female C57BL/6 mice were sacrificed and the small intestine, colon and content of luminal colon were isolated. Gene expression of both segments of the intestine was analysed by microarray analysis. DNA methylation of the promoter regions of selected sexually dimorphic genes was examined by pyrosequencing. Composition of the microbiota was explored by deep sequencing. Sexually dimorphic genes were observed in both segments of the intestine of 2-week-old mouse pups, with a stronger effect in the small intestine. Amongst the total of 349 genes displaying a sexually dimorphic effect in the small intestine and/or colon, several candidates exhibited a previously established function in the intestine (i.e. Nts, Nucb2, Alox5ap and Retnl). In addition, differential expression of genes linked to intestinal bowel disease (i.e. Ccr3, Ccl11 and Tnfr) and colorectal cancer development (i.e. Wt1 and Mmp25) was observed between males and females. Amongst the genes displaying significant sexually dimorphic expression, nine genes were histone-modifying enzymes, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms might be a potential underlying regulatory mechanism. However, our results reveal no significant changes in DNA methylation of analysed CpGs within the selected differentially expressed genes. With respect to the bacterial community composition in the colon, a dominant effect of litter origin was found but no significant sex effect was detected. However, a sex effect on the dominance of specific taxa was observed. This study reveals molecular dissimilarities between males and females in the small intestine and colon of prepubescent mice, which might underlie differences in physiological functioning and in disease predisposition in the two sexes.
