Description
We investigated whether in vitro expansion of human alveolar epithelial type II cells is possible. We found that human endogenous human alveolar epithelial type II cells can be cultured and passaged. The culture system enabled retroviral gene transduction into human alveolar epithelial type II cells. We performed RNA sequencing of human alveolar epithelial type II cells transduced with mutant surfactant protein C or control vector. Overall design: Cultured human alveolar epithelial type II cells were transfected with retroviral vector containing mutant surfactant protein C or control retroviral vector. The retroviral vector contained LNGFR as a marker. After gene transduction, transduced cells were purified by magnetic-activated cell sorting. The transcriptome of the cells was generated by 5'Tag-seq using Ion Genestudio S5 Sequencer.

Description
In the alveoli, lung fibroblasts are in close contact with alveolar epithelial cells type 2, and are considered to support alveolar epithelial cells, forming an alveolar stem cell niche. However, what fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions occur during the alveolar maturation stage remains unclear. To understand the lung fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions, we performed time-course 3´SAGE-seq analysis of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Overall design: Lung epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts from various developmental stages (E18.5, P0.5, P2, P7, P28, and P56) were purified by cell sorting. The time series transcriptome of the epithelial cells and fibroblasts was generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.

Description
Intratracheal transfer of isolated lung fibroblasts in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis recapitulates the activation process of lung fibroblasts after epithelial injury. In order to investigate gene expression signatures of transferred fibroblasts, we purified transferred fibroblasts 2, 4, and 7 days after the transfer and performed transcriptome analysis. We also isolated Acta2 high and low cells by using Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice 4 days after the transfer. Overall design: Lung fibroblasts were isolated from untreated Col-GFP mice after tissue dissociation and negative selection for lineage markers. Isolated lung fibroblasts were intratracheally transferred into wild type mice, which received intratracheal bleomycin treatment 7 days before the transfer. Col-GFP+ cells were purified from the host lungs by FACS sorting on 2, 4, and 7 days after the transfer. Acta2 high and low cells were prepared by transferring lung fibroblasts from Acta2-mKO1 reporter mice. mRNA was isolated from sorted cells, and gene expression profiles were acquired by next generation sequencing.

Description
Oligodendrocyte dysfunction underlies many neurological disorders but rapid assessment of mutation-specific effects in these cells has been impractical. To enable functional genetics in oligodendrocytes, here we report a highly efficient method for generating oligodendrocytes and their progenitors from mouse embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, independent of mouse strain or mutational status. We demonstrate that this approach, when combined with genome engineering, provides a powerful platform for the expeditious study of genotype-phenotype relationships in oligodendrocytes. Overall design: Cells were lysed directly in 1 ml of TRIzol (Thermo Fisher) and stored at -80°C. Once all samples were collected, samples were thawed on ice and RNA was separated with chloroform using Phase Lock Gel tubes (5prime). RNA was isolated using the miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacture's protocol. One microgram of each sample was then subject to ribosome depletion, fragmented, and library prepared using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Kit with Ribo Zero Gold (Illumina) according to the manufacturer's protocol and indexed using TruSeq adapters. One hundred base pair paired-end reads were generated for each sample on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Case Western Reserve University Sequencing Core; Cleveland, OH). Samples include mESC derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) from four different wildtype mouse strains at 0 hr, 24, hr, 48 hr, and 72 hr after treatment with thyroid hormone T3 (n = 4 biological replicates per time point). Two additional samples include mutant OPCs (shiverer and MYRF knockout ''delMYRF'') at 72 hr time point.

Description
Here we report that Nono instead functions as a chromatin regulator cooperating with Erk to regulate mESC pluripotency. We demonstrate that Nono loss leads to robust self-renewing mESCs with enhanced expression of Nanog and Klf4, epigenome and transcriptome re-patterning to a “ground-like state” with global reduction of H3K27me3 and DNA methylation resembling the Erk inhibitor PD03 treated mESCs and 2i (both GSK and Erk kinase inhibitors)-induced “ground state”. Mechanistically, Nono and Erk co-bind at a subset of development-related, bivalent genes. Ablation of Nono compromises Erk activation and RNA polymerase II C-terminal Domain serine 5 phosphorylation, and while inactivation of Erk evicts Nono from chromatin, revealing reciprocal regulation. Furthermore, Nono loss results in a compromised activation of its target bivalent genes upon differentiation and the differentiation itself. These findings reveal an unanticipated role of Nono in collaborating with Erk signaling to regulate the integrity of bivalent domain and mESC pluripotency. Overall design: mRNA-seq of parental and Nono-KO mES cells

Description
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an intractable disorder with a poor prognosis. Although lung fibroblasts play central roles in PF, their key regulatory molecules remain unclear. We performed transcriptome analysis of lung fibroblasts from bleomycin- and silica-treated murine lungs and identified 55 hub transcription factors highly connected to gene modules differentially expressed in PF. To elucidate whether fibroblast-specific intervention against the hub transcription factor Srebf1 modulates pathogenic activation of lung fibroblasts in vivo, we intratracheally-transferred active form of Srebf1-overexpressed fibroblasts into bleomycin-treated lungs and performed global transcriptome analysis. Overall design: Active form of Srebf1-overexpressed fibroblasts and mock-expressed fibroblasts were intratracheally-transferred to B6 mice at day 5 post-administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin. Expression of active form of Srebf1 was induced by doxycycline administration at day 7 post-administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin. Donor cells were recovered at day 10 post--administration of 2 mg/kg of bleomycin by cell sorting. Global transcriptome of transferred fibroblasts was generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.

Description
Recently there has been growing interest in the immunomodulatory effects of endogenous danger signals known as alarmins. In this study, we explore a new combination therapy of anti-CD4 depleting antibody with an alarmin, high mobility group nucleosome binding protein 1 (HMGN1). Extremely low dose of HMGN1 with anti-CD4 depleting antibody exerted robust anti-tumor effects in Colon26 subtaneous murine model. To understand transcriptomic differences of CD8+ T cells in the tumor-bearing mice after treated with anti-CD4 depleting antibody or combination therapy of HMGN1 with anti-CD4 depleting antibody, we performed CD8 T cell transcriptome analysis using 3'SAGE-seq and Ion Proton sequencer. Overall design: CD8+ T cells were purified from single cell suspension of each implanted mouse tumor by lineage sorting (CD45-CD11b-B220-CD49b-Ter119-CD4-CD8+) through FACSAria. CD8 T cell transcriptome analysis were generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.

Description
We conditionally inactivated mouse Cdx2, a dominant regulator of intestinal development, and mapped its genome occupancy in adult intestinal villi. Although homeotic transformation, observed in Cdx2-null embryos, was absent in mutant adults, gene expression and cell morphology were vitally compromised. Lethality was accelerated in mice lacking both Cdx2 and its homolog Cdx1, with exaggeration of defects in crypt cell replication and enterocyte differentiation. Cdx2 occupancy correlated with hundreds of transcripts that fell but not with equal numbers that rose with Cdx loss, indicating a predominantly activating role at intestinal cis-regulatory regions. Integrated consideration of a mutant phenotype and cistrome hence reveals the continued and distinct requirement in adults of a master developmental regulator that activates tissue-specific genes.

Description
As Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, multiplies in the cytoplasm of nucleated host cells, infection with this parasite is highly likely to affect host cells. We performed an exhaustive transcriptome analysis of T. cruzi-infected HeLa cells using an oligonucleotide microarray containing probes for greater than 47,000 human gene transcripts. In comparison with uninfected cells, those infected with T. cruzi showed greater than threefold up-regulation of 41 genes and greater than threefold down-regulation of 23 genes. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of selected, differentially expressed genes confirmed the microarray data. Many of these up- and down-regulated genes were related to cellular proliferation, including seven up-regulated genes encoding proliferation inhibitors and three down-regulated genes encoding proliferation promoters, strongly suggesting that T. cruzi infection inhibits host cell proliferation, which may allow more time for T. cruzi to replicate and produce its intracellular nests. These findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular T. cruzi infection influences the host cell, leading to pathogenicity.

Description
Our previous investigation indicated that high-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii TIMM 4097) tend to reside in the alveoli, whereas low-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii TIMM 4903) tend to be washed out from the alveoli and move into the central side of the respiratory system. To test this hypothesis, we performed microarray assay.
