A functional interaction between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) and components of the circadian clock has been suggested; however, it remains to be clarified whether those transcriptional factors interact with each other to regulate the expression of their target genes.

View SamplesKRAP (Ki-ras-induced actin-interacting protein) is a cytoskeleton-associated protein and a ubiquitous protein among tissues, originally identified as a cancer-related molecule. KRAP-deficient (KRAP-/-) mice show enhanced metabolic rate, decreased adiposity, improved glucose tolerance, hypoinsulinemia and hypoleptinemia. KRAP-/- mice are also protected against high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance despite of hyperphagia.

View SamplesTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is defined by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, and is the most lethal and aggressive subtype of breast cancer. However, the genes which relate to promote tumor aggressiveness in TNBC remain unclear.

View SamplesThrough RNA sequencing and gene ontology analyses, we report that immune activation is elicited in the spleen of 4 HIV-1-infected humanized mice when compared to 4 mock-infected humanized mice. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles in the splenic human mononuclear cells of HIV-1-infected humanized mice at 6 weeks post-infection (n=4) and mock-infected humanized mice (n=4) were generated by RNA sequencing. RNA was extracted using QIAamp RNA Blood Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA sequencing was conducted in Medical & Biological Laboratories, co (Nagoya, Japan).

View SamplesIt remains controversial whether human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are distinct from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in their molecular signatures and differentiation properties. We examined the gene expression and DNA methylation of 49 hiPSC and 10 hESC lines and identified no molecular signatures that distinguished hiPSCs from hESCs. Comparisons of the in vitro directed neural differentiation of 40 hiPSC and four hESC lines showed that most hiPSC clones were comparable to hESCs. However, in seven hiPSC clones, significant amount of undifferentiated cells persisted even after neural differentiation and resulted in teratoma formation when transplantated into mouse brains. These differentiation-defective hiPSC clones were marked by higher expression of several genes, including those expressed from long terminal repeats of human endogenous retroviruses. These data demonstrated that many hiPSC clones are indistinguishable from hESCs, while some defective hiPSC clones need to be eliminated prior to their application for regenerative medicine.

Overall design: mRNA profiles of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) sort-purified from small intestinal lamina propria and mesenteric white adipose tissue of 9-week-old wild type (WT) mice were generated by sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq1500.

View SamplesGroup 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are tissue-resident innate lymphocytes that are derived from common lymphoid progenitor (CLP). While specific progenitors and transcription factors essential for ILC2 differentiation have been well studied, external factors that regulate the commitment from CLP to ILC lineage, site that promote ILC2 terminal differentiation, and stromal cells that provide optimal microenvironment for ILC2 specific development are not fully understood. we demonstrated that the three key external factors such as concentration of IL-7 and the strength and duration of Notch signaling conditionally determined the fate of CLP toward T cell, B cell, or ILC lineages, which seems to be an important process from CLP to CHILP differentiation in the fetal liver. Furthermore, we identified ILC progenitors lacking the developmental potential to become T or B cells, and KLRG1- immature ILC2 that require STAT5 for functional maturation in the mesentery. We also identified PDGFRa+gp38+ mesenchymal cells in the mesentery that support ILC2 differentiation from ILC progenitors but not from CLP. Finally, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of mesenteric cells demonstrated that PDGFRa+gp38+ cells are heterogeneous populations. Collectively, our result suggested that early differentiation of ILC2 occurs in the primary lymphoid organ with regulation of environmental factors, and final differentiation occurs in the peripheral tissues once after CHILP migrate into the periphery. Overall design: Duplicate samples (mouse 1 and mouse 2) were processed for single cell-based RNA sequencing with Illumina HiSeq 2500 with 50 paired-end reads, using barcorded RNA library.
