Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)
Description
Background: The ability of an organism to repair damages to DNA is inextricably linked to aging and cancer. We have characterized and compared the transcriptome of C. elegans mutants deficient in DNA base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair or both to elucidate the transcriptional changes incurred by the reduction of these repair pathways.

Description
In the clinical setting, mutations in the CFTR gene enhance the inflammatory response to P. aeruginosa (PA01) infection, but measurements of the inflammatory response to pathogen stimulation by isolated airway epithelia can yield variable results. In this series, we exposed CFBE41o- cells over-expressing F508/F508 CFTR and CFBE41o- cells rescued with wt-CFTR to P. aeruginosa biofilms. P. aeruginosa elicited a more robust increase in cytokine and chemokine expression (e.g., IL-8, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCR4 and TNF-) in CFBE-wt-CFTR cells compared to CFBE-F508-CFTR cells. These results demonstrate that CFBE41o- cells complemented with wt-CFTR mount a more robust inflammatory response to P. aeruginosa than CFBE41o- F508/F508-CFTR cells.

Description
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene disruption in a murine medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC 3.10 cell line) on the transcriptome of these cells during its adhesion with thymocytes. The mTEC-thymocyte adhesion is a crucial step for the negative selection of autoreactive thymocytes and prevention of autoimmune diseases. To generate Aire mutant cell clones, a total of 5x10^5 mTEC 3.10 cells were electro-transfected (Lonza Nucleofector) with CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid targeting the Aire Exon 3 (plasmid "all in one" encoding Aire Exon 3 gRNA + Cas9 + GFP, from Sigma-Aldrich). The GFP positive mTEC single cells were sorted by using a FACS Aria III cytometer and cells were cloned by expansion in culture. Sanger sequencing of PCR products from the Aire Exon 3 of these clones was used in order to evaluate the occurrence of indel mutations within the targeted Exon 3. The mTEC 3.10 clone E6 was identified and validated as a compound heterozygous Aire KO (Aire +/-). This clone features the Aire allele 1 that encodes a mutant Aire protein carring a neutral aminoacid substitution (A118P) and allele 2 encoding a truncated Aire protein. Wild type (WT) mTEC 3.10 cells or mTEC 3.10 clone E6 were cultured in the presence (or not) of thymocytes in order to establish cell adhesion. The total RNA preparations from WT or clone E6 mTEC cells (before or after mTEC- thymocyte co-cultures) were then sequenced through RNA-sequencing using a Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument and the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation kit resulting in about 50 million paired-end stranded specific 100 bp reads per sample. Sequencing reads were mapped to Mus musculus reference genome (mm10) using STAR v.2.5.0a. Read counts over transcripts were calculated using HTSeq v.0.6.1p2 based on a current UCSC annotation file for GRCm38/mm10 (Dec. 2011). Overall design: The mRNA profiles of mTEC 3.10 cells carring WT Aire (before or after co-culture with thymocytes) or heterozygous KO mTEC 3.10 cells (clone E6, Aire +/-) (before or after co-culture with thymocytes) were generated by sequencing, in duplicates, using a Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument.

Description
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) underlie the pathogenesis of multiple disorders. Nevertheless, physiological levels of ROS are required for intracellular signalling and maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. DJ-1, a Parkinsons disease-associated protein, is involved in the regulation of oxidative stress. Our aim in this study was to determine the effect of DJ-1 disruption on gene expression in muscle cells. To this end, we transfected a murine myoblast cell line, C2C12 cells with siRNA targeting DJ-1.

Description
In this study, we investigate the anti-aging response induced by dietary restriction (DR) on gene expression level. For this, we carried out Ribosomal RNA depleted Total RNA sequencing in 16 weeks old Ercc1?/- ad libidum (AL), DR and wt mice. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from fresh liver samples from 16 weeks old Ercc1?/- AL, DR and wt mice. Ribosomal RNA was depleted from the extracts by using RiboMinus kit (Ambion) then sequenced according to the Illumina TruSeq v3 protocol on HiSeq2000 platform.

Description
This study takes on the problem of bridging transcriptional data to neuronal phenotype and function by using publicly available datasets characterizing distinct neuronal populations based on gene expression, electrophysiology and morphology. In addition, a non-published PatchSeq dataset of Pvalb-cre positive cells in CA1 was used, which is the dataset submitted here. Taken together, these datasets were used to identify cross-cell type correlations between these data modalities. Detected correlations were classified as “class-driven” if they could be explained by differences between excitatory and inhibitory cell classes, or “non-class driven” if they could be explained by gradient like phenotypic differences within cell classes. Some genes whose relationships to electrophysiological or morphological properties were found to to be specific to either excitatory or inhibitory cell types. The Patch Seq data specifically allowed simultaneous single-cell characterization of gene expression and electrophysiology, showing that the gene-property correlations observed across cell types were further predictive of within-cell type heterogeneity. Overall design: Patchseq data was collected from single cells of the mouse hippocampus CA1 in order to investigate correlations between gene expression patterns and electrophysiological properties of various interneuron cell classes 19 individual cells Re-analysis details included in supplementary file readme.txt.

Description
The signaling pathways orchestrating both the evolution and development of language in the human brain remain unknown. To date, the transcription factor FOXP2 is the only gene implicated in Mendelian forms of human speech and language dysfunction1,2. It has been proposed, that the amino acid composition in the human variant of FOXP2 has undergone accelerated evolution, and this change occurred around the time of language emergence in humans3,4. However, this remains controversial, and whether the acquisition of these amino acids in human FOXP2 has any functional consequence in human neurons remains untested. Here, we demonstrate that these two amino acids confer new functionality in terms of differential transcriptional regulation, and extend these observations to in vivo brain, showing that several of the differential FOXP2 targets significantly overlap with genes different between human and chimpanzee brain. We also identify novel relationships among the differentially expressed genes with additional critical regulators of neuronal development. These data provide support for the functional relevance of changes that occur on the human lineage by showing that the two amino acids unique to human FOXP2 can lead to significant differences in gene expression patterns across brain evolution, with direct consequences for human brain development and disease. Since FOXP2 has an important role in the use of language in humans, the identified targets may have a critical function in the development and evolution of language circuitry in humans.
