View SamplesCD34+ cord blood hematopoietic progenitors were expanded in vitro as previously described (Balan et al., J Immunol, 2014) and then differentiated on a mixed feeder layer of OP9 cells expressing or not the Notch ligand Delta-like 1, with FLT3-L, TPO and IL-7. At the end of the cultures, single live Lin- HLA-DR+ cells were index sorted in 96-well plates containing lysis buffer, and snap frozen. Four putative cell types were sorted according to their expression patterns of key combinations of cell surface markers: putative pDCs, putative cDC1s, putative pre-cDC2s and putative cDC2s. Single cell RNA-sequencing libraries were subsequently generated for 90 single cells and 6 control wells using an adaptation of Smart-Seq2 (Villani et al., Science, 2017). Cells were sequenced at a depth of 1-3M reads/cell. Overall design: A total of 90 single cells and 6 controls from one culture were processed using a protocol adapted from Smart-Seq2 protocol (Villani et al., Science, 2017), which allows for the generation of full-length single cell cDNA, and sequencing libraries were generated using Illumina Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit. A few samples (10) were profiled but excluded from the processed data since they were either bulk (5) or blank (1) control samples or excluded due to QC (4). Therefore, there are 86 samples included here.

View SamplesSeveral reports have focused on the identification of biological elements involved in the development of abnormal systemic biochemical alterations in chronic kidney disease, but this abundant literature results most of the time fragmented. To better define the cellular machinery associated to this condition, we employed an innovative high-throughput approach based on a whole transcriptomic analysis and classical biomolecular methodologies. The genomic screening of peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed that 44 genes were up-regulated in both chronic kidney disease patients in conservative treatment (CKD, n=9) and hemodialysis (HD, n=17) compared to healthy subjects (NORM) (p<0.001, FDR=1%). Functional analysis demonstrated that 11/44 genes were involved in the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS). Western blotting for COXI and COXIV, key constituents of the complex IV of OXPHOS, performed on an independent testing-group (12 NORM, 10 CKD and 14 HD) confirmed the elevated synthesis of these subunits in CKD/HD patients. However, complex IV activity was significantly reduced in CKD/HD patients compared to NORM (p<0.01). Finally, CKD/HD patients presented higher reactive oxygen species and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels compared to NORM. Taken together these results suggest, for the first time, that CKD/HD patients may have an impaired mitochondrial respiratory system and this condition may be both the consequence and the cause of an enhanced oxidative stress.

View SamplesFor both PBMC and cells from the in vitro cultures, RNA purification and library generation was performed using the Chromium Single Cell Controller apparatus and associated protocols (10X Genomics). Libraries were sequenced by 75-bp single-end reading on a NextSeq500 sequencer (Illumina). Reads were aligned on the GRCh38 human genome assembly. Data analysis was performed using the R software package Seurat (https://github.com/satijalab/seurat) Overall design: Single cell RNA-seq data were generated on the 10X emulsion platform (10X Genomics, Pleasanton, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. NextSeq data from the Chromium platform were processed using CellRanger v1.3.1, and subsequent normalization, QC, filtering, and differential gene expression analysis was performed in R using Seurat v1.4.0.16.

View SamplesWe performed single-cell RNA-seq on CD14+ monocytes isolated from the blood of healthy donors. Using the 10x chromium technology, we analyzed 425 and 431 cells from 2 individual donors. Overall design: Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were prepared by centrifugation on a Ficoll gradient. Blood CD14+ monocytes were isolated from healthy donors' PBMC by positive selection using magnetic beads. Monocytes were 93-95% CD14+CD16- as assessed by flow cytometry. Cellular suspensions (1700 cells) were loaded on a 10X Chromium instrument (10X Genomics) according to manufacturer's protocol.
