View SamplesPeriostin participates in different processes involved in connective tissue homeostasis. It is also involved in repairment of damaged tissues. We used the osteoblast murine cell line MC3T3-E1 cell line to show how overexpresion of periostin is able to increase their adhesion properties while diminishing their migration capacity. By differential gene expression we evaluated putative targets involved in those cellular properties.

View SamplesPrecursor T-cell lymphoblastic neoplasms are aggressive haematological neoplasm that most often manifest with extensive marrow and blood affectation (T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or T-ALL) or less commonly as a thymic mass with limited bone marrow infiltration (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma or T-LBL). Here we show data from RNA-Seq in a sample series of T-LBL from Spanish patients.The goal was to determine the levels of expression of coding genes and microRNAs, and to identify all genetic variants including SNVs, indels, and fusion transcripts. Overall design: Expression data were determined by comparson of each tumour sample with two control thymuses (404 and 405). Genetic variants were determined by comparison of tumour sequences with canonical ENSEMBL normal-references of each gene.
RNA-Seq reveals the existence of a CDKN1C-E2F1-TP53 axis that is altered in human T-cell lymphoblastic lymphomas.

View SamplesThe goal of this study was to analyze global gene expression in specific populations of somatosensory neurons in the periphery, including major, non-overlapping populations that include nociceptors, pruriceptors, and prorioceptors. The mammalian somatosensory nervous system encodes the perception of specific environmental stimuli. The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contains distinct somatosensory neuron subtypes that innervate diverse peripheral tissues, mediating the detection of thermal, mechanical, proprioceptive, pruriceptive, and nociceptive stimuli. We purified discrete subtypes of mouse DRG somatosensory neurons by flow cytometry using fluorescently labeled mouse lines (SNS-Cre/TdTomato, Parv-Cre/TdTomato) in combination with Isolectin B4-FITC surface staining (IB4). This allowed identification of transcriptional differences between these major populations, revealing enrichment of voltage-gated ion channels, TRP channels, G-protein coupled receptors, transcription factors, and other functionally important classes of genes within specific somatosensory neuron subsets.
Transcriptional profiling at whole population and single cell levels reveals somatosensory neuron molecular diversity.

View SamplesT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive type of blood cancer resulting from malignant transformation of T-cell precursors. Several oncogenes, including the 'T-cell leukemia homeobox 1' TLX1 (HOX11) transcription factor, have been identified as early driver events that cooperate with other genetic aberrations in leukemic transformation of progenitor T-cells. The TLX1 controlled transcriptome in T-ALL has been investigated extensively in the past in terms of protein-coding genes, but remains unexplored thus far at the level of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), the latter renown as well-established versatile and key players implicated in various cancer hallmarks. In this study, we present the first extensive analysis of the TLX1 regulated transcriptome focusing on lncRNA expression patterns. We present an integrative analysis of polyA and total RNA sequencing of ALL-SIL lymphoblasts with perturbed TLX1 expression and a primary T-ALL patient cohort (including 5 TLX1+ and 12 TLX3+ cases). We expanded our initially presented dataset of TLX1 and H3K27ac ChIP data in ALL-SIL cells (Durinck et al., Leukemia, 2015) with H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and ATAC-seq data to accurately define (super-) enhancer marked lncRNAs and assigned potential functional annotations to candidate TLX1-controlled lncRNAs through an in silico guilt-by-association approach. Our study paves the way for further functional analysis of selected lncRNAs as potential novel therapeutic targets for a precision medicine approach in the context of T-ALL. Overall design: polyA+ RNA-seq data was generated for a primary T-ALL patient cohort

The study forms part of a wider study where we compare the effects of IL-4 in different human and mouse macrophages. Our results support the notion that in vitro culture conditions greatly affect the macrophage response to IL-4.
