Gene expression in response to changes in sulfur supply was studied in P. aeruginosa E601, a cystic fibrosis isolate that displays mucin sulfatase activity, and in P. aeruginosa PAO1. A large family of genes was found to be upregulated by sulfate limitation in both isolates, encoding sulfatases and sulfonatases, transport systems, oxidative stress proteins, and a sulfate-regulated TonB/ExbBD complex. These genes were localized in five distinct islands on the genome, and encoded proteins with a significantly reduced content of cysteine and methionine. Growth of P. aeruginosa E601 with mucin as sulfur source led to a sulfate starvation response, but also to induction of genes involved with type III secretion systems.

View SamplesGlobal microarray (HG U133 Plus 2.0) was used to investigate the effects of resistance exercise and resistance training on the skeletal muscle transcriptome profile of 28 young and old adults. Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were obtained pre and 4hrs post resistance exercise in the beginning (untrained state) and at the end (trained state) of a 12 wk progressive resistance training program.

View SamplesWe report an applicaton of small RNA sequencing using high throughput next generation sequencing to identify the small RNA content of cell lines. By sequencing over 30 million reads we could identify a new class of small RNAs previousy observed with tiling arrays and mapping to promoter regions of coding genes. We also identified a large number of small RNAs corresponding to internal exons of coding genes. By using different enzymatic treatments and immunoprecipitation experiments, we have determined that both the promoter associated small RNAs as well as ones within the body of the genes bear 5'' cap structures. Overall design: Examination of the expression of small RNAs (<200nt).

View SamplesGM-CSF receptor- deficient (Csf2rb/ or KO) mice develop a lung disease identical to hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (hPAP) in humans with recessive CSF2RA or CSF2RB mutations that impair GM-CSF receptor function. We performed pulmonary macrophage transplantation (PMT) of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) without myeloablation in Csf2rb/mice. BMDMs were administered by endotracheal instillation into 2 month-old Csf2rb/ mice. Results demonstrated that PMT therapeutic of hPAP in Csf2rb/ mice was highly efficacious and durable. Alveolar macrophages were isolated by bronchoalveolar lavage one year after administration subjected to microarray analysis to determine the effects of PMT therapy on the global gene expression profile.

View SamplesViral infection can dramatically alter a cell''s transcriptome. However, these changes have mostly been studied by bulk measurements on many cells. Here we use single-cell mRNA sequencing to examine the transcriptional consequences of influenza virus infection. We find extremely wide cell-to-cell variation in production of viral gene transcripts -- viral transcripts compose less than a percent of total mRNA in many infected cells, but a few cells derive over half their mRNA from virus. Some infected cells fail to express at least one viral gene, and this gene absence partially explains variation in viral transcriptional load. Despite variation in total viral load, the relative abundances of viral mRNAs are fairly consistent across infected cells. Activation of innate immune pathways is rare, but some cellular genes co-vary in abundance with the amount of viral mRNA. Overall, our results highlight the complexity of viral infection at the level of single cells. Overall design: Dataset consists of a total of five single-cell datasets generated using the 10x Genomics Chromium Single Cell 3'' Solution platform. All samples were generated from a tissue culture infection model using A549 cells from ATCC and Influenza A/WSN/1933 virus. Uninfected control sample identically processed. Infected samples were generated from cells infected for 6, 8, and 10 hours with a single replicate at 8 hours.
