Description
With the aim of understanding how Treg cells in highly vascularized tissues are related to Treg cells in other organs, we performed RNA-seq analysis of bulk Treg and Tconv cells isolated from liver, blood, spleen, and the liver-draining portal lymph node. This revealed a clear separation of cell transcriptomes by both tissue and Treg/Tconv identity, with cells from the liver falling between blood- and spleen-derived cells. Compared to splenic Treg cells, hepatic Treg cells were enriched for genes related to proliferation and activation, and genes encoding chemokine and cytokine receptors. Overall design: RNA was extracted from FACS-purified Tconv and Treg cells from various tissues of Foxp3Thy1.1 mice. Each sample contains cells pooled from 3 mice. 2 cell types from each of 4 tissues x 3 replicates = 24 samples.

Description
While unique subsets of Treg cells have been described in some non-lymphoid tissues, their relationship to Treg cells in secondary lymphoid organs and circulation remains unclear. We have identified a recirculating and highly suppressive effector Treg cell subset that expresses the a2 integrin, CD49b, and exhibits a unique tissue distribution. To identify genes and pathways enriched in CD49b+ Treg cells, we performed RNA-seq of splenic CD49b+ and CD49b- Treg cells that were of otherwise similar activation status based on expression of CD44 and CD62L. This revealed that splenic CD49b+ Treg cells express genes related to migration and activation, but are relatively depleted of genes whose expression is TCR-dependent in Treg cells. These results shed light on the identity and development of a functionally potent subset of mature effector Treg cells that recirculates through and surveys peripheral tissues. Overall design: RNA was extracted from FACS-purified splenic Tconv and Treg cells of different activation states from Foxp3GFP mice. 2 CD4+ T-cell lineages x 3 activation states x 4 replicates. There is no sample 3 (RNA was degraded); there are 23 samples in total.

Description
While unique subsets of Treg cells have been described in some non-lymphoid tissues, their relationship to Treg cells in secondary lymphoid organs and circulation remains unclear. We have identified a short-lived effector Treg cell subset that expresses the a2 integrin, CD49b, and exhibits a unique tissue distribution. Projection of the CD49b+ Treg signature onto the Treg phenotypic landscape as inferred by single-cell RNA-seq analysis, placed these cells at the apex of the Treg developmental trajectory. These results shed light on the identity and development of a functionally potent subset of mature effector Treg cells that recirculate through and survey peripheral tissues. Overall design: Single-cell RNA-seq libraries (10x Genomics) were prepared from FACS-purified Tconv and Treg cells from pooled spleens of Foxp3GFP mice.

Description
Thymic Treg cells, mature non-Treg CD4+ single positive thymocytes, peripheral (spleen) resting and activated Treg cells were sorted from Foxp3-gfp reporter (wid type, WT) mice or Foxp3 enhancer CNS3 knockout (KO, carrying the same GFP reporter) mice. Total RNA was extracted and used for RNA sequencing to assess gene expression profiles. Overall design: Two 6-8 week old littermates of male Foxp3-gfp and Foxp3?CNS3-gfp mice were used to sort Treg cells and conventional CD4+ T cells. Lymphocyte preparation and electronic sorting were performed at the same time. RNA extraction, SMART amplification, library preparation were conducted in parallel.

Description
We tracked the gene expression events following treatment of maize seedlings with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress agent tunicamycin. ER stress elicits the unfolded protein response (UPR) and when plants are faced with persistent stress, the UPR transitions from an adaptive or cell survival phase to programmed cell death. Overall design: Each sample was collected in 3 biological replicates and two technical replicates.

Description
Trans-splicing is a post-transcriptional event that joins exons from separate pre-mRNAs. Detection of trans-splicing is usually severely hampered by experimental artifacts and genetic rearrangements. Here, we develop a new computational pipeline, TSscan, which integrates different types of high-throughput long-/short-read transcriptome sequencing of different human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines to effectively minimize false positives while detecting trans-splicing. Combining TSscan screening with multiple experimental validation steps revealed that most chimeric RNA products were platform-dependent experimental artifacts of RNA sequencing. We successfully identified and confirmed four trans-spliced RNAs, including the first reported trans-spliced large intergenic noncoding RNA ("tsRMST"). We showed that these trans-spliced RNAs were all highly expressed in human pluripotent stem cells and differentially expressed during hESC differentiation. Our results further indicated that tsRMST can contribute to pluripotency maintenance of hESCs by suppressing lineage-specific gene expression through the recruitment of NANOG and the PRC2 complex factor, SUZ12. Taken together, our findings provide important insights into the role of trans-splicing in pluripotency maintenance of hESCs and help to facilitate future studies into trans-splicing, opening up this important but understudied class of post-transcriptional events for comprehensive characterization

Description
Hair follicles undergo recurrent cycling of controlled growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and relative quiescence (telogen) with a defined periodicity. Taking a genomics approach to study gene expression during synchronized mouse hair follicle cycling, we discovered that, in addition to circadian fluctuation, CLOCK-regulated genes are also modulated in phase with the hair growth cycle. During telogen and early anagen, circadian clock genes are prominently expressed in the secondary hair germ, which contains precursor cells for the growing follicle. Analysis of Clock and Bmal1 mutant mice reveals a delay in anagen progression, and the secondary hair germ cells show decreased levels of phosphorylated Rb and lack mitotic cells, suggesting that circadian clock genes regulate anagen progression via their effect on the cell cycle. Consistent with a block at the G1 phase of the cell cycle, we show a significant upregulation of p21 in Bmal1 mutant skin. While circadian clock mechanisms have been implicated in a variety of diurnal biological processes, our findings indicate that circadian clock genes may be utilized to modulate the progression of non-diurnal cyclic processes.
