View SamplesWe surveyed DNA methylation profiles of all human RefSeq promoters in relation to gene expression and differentiation in adipose tissue, bone marrow and muscle mesenchymal progenitors, as well as in bone marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitors. We unravel strongly overlapping DNA methylation profiles between adipose stem cells (ASCs), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and muscle progenitor cells (MPCs), while hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are more epigenetically distant from MSCs seen as a whole. Differentiation resolves a fraction of methylation patterns common to MSCs, generating epigenetic divergence.

View SamplesIn order to assess whether culturing adipose-derived adult stem cells (ADASCs) affect their gene expression (see Sample Growth Condition Protocol), we wanted to identify possible genes that were differentially expressed between cultured polyclonal CD31- ADASCs and freshly isolated (uncultured) polyclonal CD31- ADASCs. To that end, RNA was isolated from cultured and uncultured ADASCs from three different donors and analyzed using the Affymetrix Microarray HG-U133A. Then, using the Affymetrix program MAS 5.0 we performed three comparisons and could identify differentially expressed transcripts common between the three donors, using the Affymetrix program DMT 3.0.

View SamplesThe molecular determinants of a healthy human liver cell phenotype remain largely uncharacterized. In addition, the gene expression changes associated with activation of primary human hepatic stellate cells, a key event during fibrogenesis, remain poorly characterized. Here, we provide the transriptomic profile underpinning the healthy phenotype of human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as activated HSCs (aHSCs)

View SamplesMethods: Triplicate RNA samples from morphologically stage-matched embryos were sequenced to compare expression profiles over time. Strand-specific libraries were prepared using the TruSeq stranded total RNA-ribozero kit (Illumina) and 100-bp paired-end sequencing was performed to depth of 10 million reads per library on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. Methods: On average, 19 million 100 bp paired-end reads per library were generated. These were then adapter and quality trimmed using cutadapt and SolexaQA. Each sequencing data set was independently mapped to the zebrafish genome with a bowtie2 index generated from Danio_rerio.Zv9.70 (Ensembl) downloaded from Illumina's iGenomes collection. Zebrafish genome danRer7was used to provide known transcript annotations from Ensembl using TopHat2 (version 2.0.9) with the following options: “tophat2 --GTF genes.gtf --library-type fr-firststrand -p 24 --mate-inner-dist -8 --mate-std-dev 6 zv9” (on average, 75.38% reads mapped uniquely to the genome). Transcriptomes were assembled with Cufflinks (version 2.2.0) using options: 'cufflinks -p 32 --GTF genes.gtf' and differential expression analysis between control and knockdown embryos was performed using Cuffdiff. A FDR corrected p-value of 0.05 was applied as the cut off to identify differentially regulated transcripts Results: We could show that MO assisted depletion of Rad21 and CTCF affected the transcriptional profiles of embryos in different ways. Overall design: mRNA profiles of (2.5, 3.3, 4.5, 5.3, 10 hpf) wild type (WT) and morpholino depleted Rad21 MO (Rad21) and CTCF MO (CTCF) embryos were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesHow genomic information is selectively utilized to direct spatial and temporal gene expression patterns during differentiation remains to be elucidated but it is clear that regulated changes in higher-order genomic architecture plays a fundamental role. Specifically, long range interactions within and between chromosomes and the position of chromosome territories in the nucleus are controlled by TADs and LADs respectively, but the relationship between these genomic organizers remains poorly understood Overall design: We analyzed the large-scale spatial reorganization of chromatin by generating matched Hi-C and nuclear lamin-chromatin contact datasets throughout a dual adipose/neuronal induction of human primary adipose stem cells. We have mapped Hi-C (TADs) and lamin-associated domains (LADs) in multiple steps during adipose stem cell differentiation to characterize the spatial and temporal link between genomic architecture and gene expression. We identify a new level of 4D genomic organization involving a long-range clustering of individual TADs or TAD pairs into TAD cliques. LADs appear to regulate their formation. (ASCs). We unveil a lineage-specific dynamic assembly and disassembly of repressive cliques of linearly non-contiguous TADs, and a time course-coupled relationship between TAD clique size and lamina association. Our findings reveal a new level of developmental genome organization and provide an overview of large-scale changes in the 4D nucleome during lineage-specific differentiation.
