Murine MafB/c-MAF double KO (Maf-DKO) primary macrophages are known for their unlimited non-tumorigenic self-renewal ability (Aziz et al., 2009). In an in vitro screen for cytokines and small molecules we identified Niacinamide (NAM) a potent inhibitor of their proliferative potential characterized by a reversible cell cycle arrest.

View SamplesMicroglia play important roles in life-long brain maintenance and in pathology, but are also crucial in the developing central nervous system; yet their regulatory dynamics during development have not been fully elucidated. Genome-wide chromatin and expression profiling coupled with single-cell transcriptomic analysis throughout development reveal that microglia undergo three temporal developmental stages in synchrony with the brain: early, pre-, and adult microglia, which are under the control of distinct regulatory circuits. Knockout of the transcription factor MafB caused disruption of homeostasis in adulthood and increased inflammation. Environmental perturbations, such as the microbiome or prenatal immune activation, led to dysregulation of the developmental program, particularly in terms of inflammation. Together, our work identifies a stepwise developmental program of microglia integrating immune response pathways that may be associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders. Overall design: Yolk sac progenitors (CD45+CD11B+CX3CR1-GFP+), microglia from early brain (CD45+CD11B+CX3CR1-GFP+), and microglia from later stages (CD45intCD11BintCX3CR1-GFP+) were isolated from CX3CR1+ C57BL/6J mice or microglia from perturbation models (CD45intCD11Bint) from mice of C57BL/6J background
Microglia development follows a stepwise program to regulate brain homeostasis.

View SamplesGranulomas are immune cell aggregates formed in response to persistent inflammatory stimuli. Granuloma macrophage subsets are diverse and carry varying copy numbers of their genomic information. The molecular programs that control the differentiation of such macrophage populations in response to a chronic stimulus, though critical for disease outcome, have not been defined. In this study, we performed scRNA-Seq experiments to gain insights into the transcriptional regulation of polyploid macrophage differentiation in response to chronically persistent inflammatory stimuli. Overall design: scRNA-Seq was performed on FACS-sorted 2c and >4c DNA content polyploid macrophages after six days of bacterial lipoprotein, FSL-1 treatment of bone marrow-derived macrophage precursors. 2c DNA content macrophages treated with M-CSF alone were used as controls. CEL-Seq2 protocol was used for single cell sequencing (Hashimshony et al. 2016).

View SamplesSaccharomyces cerevisiae flocculation occurs when fermentable sugars are limiting and is therefore considered as a way to enhance the survival chance of Flo-expressing yeast cells. In this paper, the role of Flo1p in mating was demonstrated by showing that the mating efficiency, which contributes to the increased survival rate as well by generating genetic variability, is increased when cells flocculate. This was revealed by liquid growth experiments in a low shear environment and differential transcriptome analysis of FLO1 expressing cells compared to the non-flocculent wild-type cells. The results show that a floc provides a uniquely organized multicellular ultrastructure that provides a suitable microenvironment to induce and perform cell conjugation.
