small RNA libraries from wild-type and Hen1 mutant testes were made with either polyA tailing (VASAGFPHen1minus/plus) or adapter ligation (Hen1Testis and WTTestis) and sequenced on an Illumina GAII platform. Overall design: RNA was isolated from total testis tissue of both Hen1 wildtype and Hen1 mutant animals. After size selection from gel, the small RNA libraries wre made.

View SamplesThis data series contains small RNA high-throughput sequencing data for each of the mutator class genes. Samples are from stage-matched adult C. elegans grown at 20°C. Overall design: Small RNAs were isolated from synchronized wild type and mutant C. elegans and subjected to Illumina HiSeq sequencing. The series contains fastq and tab-separated files for 19 libraries.

View SamplesGerm plasm, the Balbiani body and nuage are evolutionary conserved structures essential for germ cell specification and maintenance. We describe Tdrd6a as a component of these structures with two distinct molecular functions. First, Tdrd6a facilitates the accumulation of the typical antisense-bias of piRNAs, without having effects on piRNA biogenesis signatures. Second, we show that Tdrd6a is required for Balbiani body and germ plasm integrity, and associates with RNA-binding proteins and germ plasm mRNAs. On the cell-biological level, maternally contributed Tdrd6a strongly impacts germ cell formation, but is dispensable for fertility. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing we demonstrate that Tdrd6a promotes early germ cell development and regulates the stoichiometry of germ plasm mRNAs. We propose that Tdrd6a functions as a scaffold to recruit correct ratios of germ plasm transcripts and to accumulate antisense piRNA complexes in order to ensure both specification and maintenance of germ cells. Overall design: Single cell were sorted directly in Trizolfrom embryos spawned by mz tdrd6a-/- mother and wt mother carrying a kop::egfp-f-nos1-3'UTR transgene. Thereafter single cell trizol extractio was performed followed by RT, IVT and RNA-seq library prep.

View SamplesWe used microarray to compare global gene expression profiles between 5 GNAQ/11 mutant uveal melanoma cell lines (GNAQ mutant: 92-1, omm1.3, mel270; GNA11 mutant: omm-gn11 and upmd-1) and 5 GNAQ/11 wild type melanoma cell lines(sk-mel-2, mm415, mm485, sk-mel-5 and mum2c). Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor that mainly metastasizes to the liver in about 50% patients. Over 80% of UMs harbor GNAQ or GNA11 activating mutation. Currently there is no effective treatment available for UM patients. Results provide insights into downstream signaling of oncogenic GNAQ/11 and identification of therapeutic targets in UM.

Differential induction of TLR3-dependent innate immune signaling by closely related parasite species.
Specimen part, Cell line
View SamplesThe closely related protozoan parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum display similar life cycles, subcellular ultrastructure, invasion mechanisms, metabolic pathways, and genome organization, but differ in their host range and disease pathogenesis. Type II () interferon has long been known to be the major mediator of innate and adaptive immunity to Toxoplasma infection, but genome-wide expression profiling of infected host cells indicates that Neospora is a potent activator of the type I (/) interferon pathways typically associated with antiviral responses. Infection of macrophages from mice with targeted deletions in various innate sensing genes demonstrates that host responses to Neospora are dependent on the toll-like receptor Tlr3 and the adapter protein Trif. Consistent with this observation, RNA from Neospora elicits TLR3-dependent type I interferon responses when targeted to the host endo-lysosomal system. Although live Toxoplasma fail to induce type I interferon, heat-killed parasites do trigger this response, albeit much weaker than Neospora, and co-infection studies reveal that T. gondii actively suppresses the production of type I interferon. These findings reveal that eukaryotic pathogens can be potent inducers of type I interferon and that related parasite species interact with this pathway in distinct ways.
