View SamplesA number of macrophage and macrophage-like cells are responsible for immune response to challenges. Despite their shared role, these immune cells differ in the inflammatory response and impact on physiology and behavior. The purpose of this study was to profile mRNA levels (transcriptome) to better understand differences between immune cells under homeostasis using two mouse strains. Overall design: total RNA samples were obtained from 12 mice per strain and immune cell type and were subjected to paired-end RNA sequencing

View SamplesProstate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death amongst males. The main clinical dilemma in treating prostate cancer is the high number of indolent cases that confer a significant risk of over diagnosis and over treatment. In this study we have performed a genome expression profiling of tumor tissue specimens from 36 patients with prostate cancer to identify transcripts that delineate aggressive and indolent cancer. We included normal prostate biopsies from 14 patients in our analysis. Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis separated the cancer samples into two groups with a significant overrepresentation of tumors from patients with biochemical recurrence in one of the groups (Chi2, p=0.02). The samples were separated by basically three clusters of genes that showed differential expression between the two sample clusters - totaling 371 transcripts. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that one cluster contained genes associated with invasive properties of the tumor, another genes associated with the cell cycle, and the last cluster genes involved in several biological functions. We successfully validated the transcripts association with recurrence using two publicly available patient datasets totaling 669 patients. Twelve genes were found to be independent predictors of recurrence in multivariate logistical regression analysis.

View SamplesThe mechanisms instructing genesis of neuronal subtypes from mammalian neural precursors are not well-understood. To address this issue, we have characterized the transcriptional landscape of radial glial precursors (RPs) in the embryonic murine cortex. We show that individual RPs express mRNA but not protein for transcriptional specifiers of both deep and superficial layer cortical neurons. Some of these mRNAs, including the superficial versus deep layer neuron transcriptional regulators Brn1 and Tle4, are translationally repressed by their association with the RNA-binding protein Pumilio2 and the 4E-T protein. When these repressive complexes are disrupted in RPs mid-neurogenesis by knocking down 4E-T or Pum2, this causes aberrant co-expression of deep layer neuron specification proteins in newborn superficial neurons. Thus, cortical RPs are transcriptionally primed to generate diverse types of neurons, and a 4E-T-Pum2 complex represses translation of some of these neuronal identity mRNAs to ensure appropriate temporal specification of daughter neurons.

View SamplesAdult neural stem cells (NSCs) derive from embryonic precursors, but little is known about how or when this occurs. We have addressed this issue using single cell RNAseq at multiple developmental timepoints to analyze the embryonic murine cortex, one source of adult forebrain NSCs. We computationally identify all major cortical cell types, including the embryonic radial precursors (RPs) that generate adult NSCs. We define the initial emergence of RPs from neuroepithelial stem cells at E11.5. We show that by E13.5 these RPs express a transcriptional identity that is maintained and reinforced throughout their transition to a non-proliferative state between E15.5 and E17.5. These slowly-proliferating late embryonic RPs share a core transcriptional phenotype with quiescent adult forebrain NSCs. Together, these findings support a model where cortical RPs maintain a core transcriptional identity from embryogenesis through to adulthood, and where the transition to a quiescent adult NSC occurs during late neurogenesis. Overall design: We applied the high-throughput single-cell mRNA sequencing technique, Drop-seq, to the embryonic mouse cortex. 2000-5000 single cells from wildtype CD1 embryos of gestational ages E11.5, E13.5, E15.5 and E17.5 were characterized.

View SamplesThe neural stem cell decision to self-renew or differentiate is tightly regulated by its microenvironment. Here, we have asked about this microenvironment, focusing on growth factors in the embryonic cortex at a time when it is largely comprised of neural precursor cells (NPCs) and newborn neurons. We show that cortical NPCs secrete factors that promote their maintenance while cortical neurons secrete factors that promote differentiation. To define factors important for these activities, we used transcriptome profiling to identify ligands produced by NPCs and neurons, cell surface mass spectrometry to identify receptors on these cells, and computational modeling to integrate these data. The resultant model predicts a complex growth factor environment with multiple autocrine and paracrine interactions. We tested this communication model, focusing on neurogenesis, and identified IFN, Nrtn and glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) as ligands with unexpected roles in promoting neurogenic differentiation of NPCs in vivo.

View SamplesT4 and T5 neurons are components of the neuronal circuit for motion vision in flies. To identify genes involved in neuronal computation of T4 and T5 neurons, we perfomed transcriptome analysis. Nuclei of T4 and T5 neurons were immunoprecipitated, total RNA was harvested and used for mRNA-seq with Illumina technology. In two biological replicates, we mapped 154 and 119 million reads to D. melanogaster genome. mRNA-seq provided information about expression levels of 17,468 annotated transcripts in the T4 and T5 neurons.
