Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Endothelium in embryonic hematopoietic tissues generates hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells; however, it is unknown how its unique potential is specified. We show that transcription factor Scl/Tal1 is essential for both establishing the hematopoietic transcriptional program in hemogenic endothelium and preventing its misspecification to a cardiomyogenic fate. Scl-/- embryos activated a cardiac transcriptional program in yolk sac endothelium, leading to the emergence of CD31+Pdgfr+ cardiogenic precursors that generated spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes. Ectopic cardiogenesis was also observed in Scl-/- hearts, where the disorganized endocardium precociously differentiated into cardiomyocytes. Induction of mosaic deletion of Scl in Sclfl/flRosa26Cre-ERT2 embryos revealed a cell-intrinsic, temporal requirement for Scl to prevent cardiomyogenesis from endothelium. Scl-/- endothelium also upregulated the expression of Wnt antagonists, which promoted rapid cardiomyocyte differentiation of ectopic cardiogenic cells. These results reveal unexpected plasticity in embryonic endothelium such that loss of a single master regulator can induce ectopic cardiomyogenesis from endothelial cells.

Description
Purpose: Foxp2 is the first and for now the only gene connected to speech and language in humans. Two aminoacid substitutions took place in this protein during recent human evolution, after our split from the last common ancestor with chimpanzees, and are most likely to have undergone positive selection in human lineage (Enard et al., 2002). Methods: Transgenic mice in which the wild-type (murine) version of Foxp2 was replaced with the one bearing two human-specific amino acid substitutions (i.e. "humanized" Foxp2) - Foxp2hum/hum, have been compared to their wild-type (WT) counterparts in terms of behavior, electrophysiology and striatal gene expression. The latter was analyzed through RNA-sequencing performed on pooled indexed libraries on three flow cells on Illumina GAIIx. The reads were mapped to mouse genome (mm9) by TopHat 1.4.1 and were counted using Bedtools. mRNA profiles were obtained with more than 20 million reads for every sample. Differential gene expression was analyzed with DESeq using multifactor model (Anders and Huber, 2010). Results: Wild-type and Foxp2hum/hum mice did not show any significant differences in expression at individual gene level, neither in dorsomedial nor in dorsolateral striatum. However, when genes were grouped into functional categories and analyzed accordingly, this revealed a significant downregulation of functional categories related to synaptic signalling and plasticity in dorsomedial striatum of Foxp2hum/hum mice. Overall design: RNA-sequencing was performed on dorsomedial and dorsolateral striatum of wild-type and Foxp2hum/hum mice, on three flow cells Illumina GAIIx. The libraries from each sample were indexed and pooled together.

Description
Tumor progression is associated with an immunosuppressive microenvironment that consists of several elements, such as regulatory T cells, type 2 macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Here, we identify for the first time a BDCA1+CD14+ population of immunosuppressive cells that resides both in the blood and tumor of melanoma patients. We demonstrated that the presence of these cells in dendritic cell (DC)-based anti-tumor vaccines significantly suppresses CD4+ T cells in an antigen-specific manner. In an attempt to reveal the mechanism of this suppressive activity, we noticed that BDCA1+CD14+ cells express elevated levels of the check-point molecule PD-L1, which thereby hinders T cell proliferation. Importantly, although this suppressive BDCA1+CD14+ population expresses markers of both BDCA1+ DCs and monocytes, functional, transcriptome and proteome analyses clearly revealed that they comprise a unique population of cells that is exploited by tumors to evade immunity. Thus, targeting these cells may improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Overall design: mRNA profiles of BDCA1+ DCs, BDCA1+CD14+ cells and monocytes, isolated from 3 healthy volunteers, were generated by deep RNA sequencing using HiSeq 2000 System (TruSeq SBS KIT-HS V3,Illumina)

Description
Major- and minor-group rhinoviruses enter their host by binding to the cell surface molecules ICAM-1 and LDL-R, respectively, which are present on both macrophages and epithelial cells. Although epithelial cells are the primary site of productive HRV infection, previous studies have implicated macrophages in establishing the cytokine dysregulation that occurs during rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations. Even though major- and minor-group rhinoviruses are nearly genetically identical, these viruses do not replicate with equal success in monocyte-lineage cell lines. In human primary macrophages, differential mitochondrial activity and signaling pathway activation was observed between major- and minor-group rhinovirus upon initial HRV binding, indicating discordant receptor-dependent response to these rhinovirus types. As well, variances in phosphorylation of kinases (p38, JNK, ERK5) and transcription factors (ATF-2, CREB, CEBP-alpha) were observed between the major- and minor- group HRV treatments. The difference between major- and minor- group HRV activation of signaling pathways was confirmed through RNA-sequencing and observation of differential production of the asthma-relevant cytokines CCL20, CCL2, and IL-10. This is the first report of genetically similar viruses eliciting dissimilar cytokine release, transcription factor phosphorylation, and MAPK activation from macrophages. These results suggest that receptor dependence plays a role in establishing the inflammatory microenvironment initiated in part by monocytic-lineage cells in the human airway upon exposure to rhinovirus. Overall design: RNA sequencing of monocyte-derived macrophages after mock infection or infection by HRV16 or HRV1A
