View SamplesAs Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, multiplies in the cytoplasm of nucleated host cells, infection with this parasite is highly likely to affect host cells. We performed an exhaustive transcriptome analysis of T. cruzi-infected HeLa cells using an oligonucleotide microarray containing probes for greater than 47,000 human gene transcripts. In comparison with uninfected cells, those infected with T. cruzi showed greater than threefold up-regulation of 41 genes and greater than threefold down-regulation of 23 genes. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of selected, differentially expressed genes confirmed the microarray data. Many of these up- and down-regulated genes were related to cellular proliferation, including seven up-regulated genes encoding proliferation inhibitors and three down-regulated genes encoding proliferation promoters, strongly suggesting that T. cruzi infection inhibits host cell proliferation, which may allow more time for T. cruzi to replicate and produce its intracellular nests. These findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular T. cruzi infection influences the host cell, leading to pathogenicity.

View SamplesDuring cerebellar development, the main portion of the cerebellar plate neuroepithelium (NE) gives birth to Purkinje cells and interneurons, while the germinal zone at its dorsal edge, called the rhombic lip (RL), generates granule cells and cerebellar nuclei neurons. However, it remains elusive how these components work together to generate the intricate structure of the cerebellar anlage. In this study, we found that a polarized cerebellar anlage structure self-organizes in three-dimensional (3D) human ES cell (hESC) culture. This NE is capable of differentiating into electrophysiologically functional Purkinje cells. The addition of FGF19 promotes spontaneous generation of dorsoventrally polarized NE structures containing cerebellar and basal plates. Furthermore, further addition of SDF1 promoted the generation of stratified cerebellar plate NE with RL-like germinal zones self-forming at the edge. Thus, hESC-derived cerebellar progenitors exhibit substantial self-organizing potential for generating a polarized structure reminiscent of the early human cerebellar anlage at the first trimester.

View SamplesThe Arabidopsis RWP-RK protein RKD4 is expressed specifically in early embryogenesis and triggers embryonic cell division sequences. We used Affymetrix ATH1 microarrays to analyze the pattern of gene expression changes in response to induced ectopic expression of RKD4 in post-embryonic organs.

View SamplesMalignant mesothelioma (MM) is an asbestos-related malignancy and largely unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Novel, more effective therapeutic strategies are needed for this fatal disease. We performed microarray analysis of MM using Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 array. Aberrant expression of the genes participating in semaphorin signaling were detected in malignant mesothelioma cells. All MM cells downregulated the expression of more than one gene for SEMA3B, 3F, and 3G when compared with Met5a, a normal pleura-derived cell line. In 12 of 14 epithelioid MM cells, the expression level of SEMA3A was lower than that in Met5a. An augmented expression of VEGFA was detected in half of the MM cells. The expression ratio of VEGFA/SEMA3A was significantly higher in the epithelioid MMs than in Met5a and the non-epithelioid MMs. Next, gene expression profiling for the polycomb and trithorax group genes revealed that expression of BAP1, the catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive deubiquitinase complex, and many trithorax group genes was downregulated in MMs compared with the expression of the same genes in Met5a cells. Perturbation of the polycombtrithorax balance plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of malignant mesothelioma.

View SamplesIn the alveoli, lung fibroblasts are in close contact with alveolar epithelial cells type 2, and are considered to support alveolar epithelial cells, forming an alveolar stem cell niche. However, what fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions occur during the alveolar maturation stage remains unclear. To understand the lung fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions, we performed time-course 3´SAGE-seq analysis of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Overall design: Lung epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts from various developmental stages (E18.5, P0.5, P2, P7, P28, and P56) were purified by cell sorting. The time series transcriptome of the epithelial cells and fibroblasts was generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.

View SamplesWe report the application of single-nucleus-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of transcriptome in immortazalized human myoblast KD3. By obtaining over sixty billion bases of sequence from mRNA, we generated comprehensive transcriptome profiles from KD3 undifferentiated myoblast and differentiated multi-nucleated myotube and mono-nucleated cells. We find that the data from single-nucleus RNA-seq is consistent with the transcriptome from single-cell RNA-seq. The pri-mRNA expression characterized by single-nucleus RNA-seq can reflect the actual miRNA level in the whole cell. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome in 1 cell type in 3 differential stages.

View SamplesDuring cerebral development, a variety of neurons are sequentially generated by self-renewing progenitor cells, apical progenitors (APs). A temporal change in AP identity is thought to produce a diversity of progeny neurons, while underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we performed single cell genome-wide transcriptome profiling of APs at different neurogenic stages, and identified a set of genes that are temporally expressed in APs in a manner independent of differentiation state. Surprisingly, the temporal pattern of such AP gene expression was not affected by arresting cell cycling. Consistently, a transient cell cycle arrest of APs in vivo did not prevent descendant neurons to acquire their correct laminar fates. in vitro cell culture of APs revealed that transitions in AP gene expression involved in both cell-autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms. These results suggest that timers controlling AP temporal identity run independently of cell cycle progression and Notch activation mode.
