Gene expression (RNA-Seq) analysis of primary human T cells reveals novel genes associated with Th2 memory differentiation and asthma susceptibility

ABSTRACT: A characteristic feature of asthma is the aberrant accumulation, differentiation or function of memory CD4+ T cells that produce Th2 cytokines (Th2 cells). By comparing gene expression profiles of T cell subsets isolated from peripheral blood of healthy and asthmatic individuals, we identified genes with known and potential roles in the normal differentiation of human Th1 and Th2 cells. Examination of gene expression in 3 human cell types in healthy and asthmatic individuals.

Transcriptional Profiling of Psoriasis Using RNA-seq Reveals Previously Unidentified Differentially Expressed genes

Project description:The transcriptomic profiling of psoriasis has led to an increased understanding of disease pathogenesis. Although microarray technologies have been instrumental in this regard, it is clear that these tools detect an incomplete set of DEGs. RNA-seq can be used to supplement these prior technologies. Here, the use of RNAseq methods substantially increased the number of psoriasis-related DEGs. Furthermore, DEGs that were uniquely identified by RNA-seq, but not in other published microarray studies, further supported the role of IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor-a synergy in psoriasis. Examination of one of these factors at the protein level confirmed that RNA-seq is a powerful tool that can be used to identify molecular factors present in psoriasis lesions, and may be useful in the identification of therapeutic targets that to our knowledge have not been reported previously. Further studies are in progress to determine the biological significance of DEGs uniquely discovered by RNA-seq. To define the transcriptomic profile of psoriatic skin, three pairs of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsy specimens were taken from patients with untreated moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Integration of genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome of human intestinal fibroblasts reveals novel candidate gene signatures in Crohnâs disease-associated fibrosis

Project description:Tissue fibrosis is a serious complication of Crohnâs disease (CD) as well as of a variety of other complex, chronic pathologies. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of tissue fibrosis is crucial for the development of tissue-specific prevention and interventional treatment strategies. To identify molecular states specific to fibrotic disease, we employed deep sequencing to define the genome-wide DNA methylome and the whole transcriptome of purified human intestinal fibrotic fibroblasts (HIFs) isolated from the colon of patients with fibrotic CD. Integration of this information, via computational tools, identified candidate molecular interactions that could lead to fibrosis pathology. Our definition of a genome-wide fibrosis-specific DNA methylome provides a new paradigm for understanding mechanisms of pathological gene expression that lead to intestinal fibrosis and may have relevance to fibrogenesis in other organs. Human intestinal fibroblasts (HIFs) were extracted and cultured from colon specimens of two groups: Crohnâs disease with associated fibrosis (n=3) and normal fibroblasts from patients with Diverticulitis (n=3). Both RNA-seq and MBD-isolated genome sequencing (MiGS) were performed on every sample.

Caste-specific RNA editomes in the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior

Project description:Eusocial insects have evolved the capacity to generate adults with distinct morphological, reproductive and behavioural phenotypes from the same genome. Recent studies suggest that RNA editing might enhance the diversity of gene products at the post-transcriptional level, particularly to induce functional changes in the nervous system. Using head samples from the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior, we compare RNA editomes across eusocial castes, identifying ca. 11,000 RNA editing sites in gynes, large workers and small workers. Those editing sites map to 800 genes functionally enriched for neurotransmission, circadian rhythm, temperature response, RNA splicing and carboxylic acid biosynthesis. Most A. echinatior editing sites are species specific, but 8M-bM-^@M-^S23% are conserved across ant subfamilies and likely to have been important for the evolution of eusociality in ants. The level of editing varies for the same site between castes, suggesting that RNA editing might be a general mechanism that shapes caste behaviour in ants. Analysis of genome-wide RNA editing in three different female castes of the the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex echinatior.

Transcriptional profiling of human Th9 T cell clones treated with GW9662 against untreated control

Project description:To investigate the role of PPAR-γ in human TH cells, transcriptional response of activated “TH9” clones to treatment with GW9662, a potent PPAR-γ antagonist was assessed. “TH9” cell clones were incubated with GW9662 for 48h and activated with αCD3/2/28 for 12 h. Transcriptomic profiling was performed by bulk RNA-seq. To generate TH9 clones, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll-Plaque Plus (GE Healthcare, UK) density gradient centrifugation. Human CD4+ T cells were isolated from PBMC by EasySep positive selection kit (Stemcell Technologies) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Positively selected CD4+ T cells were washed with PBS and stained for subsequent TH cell subset sorting. Effector memory “TH9” cells (CXCR3-CCR8+CCR6-CCR4+) were sorted to over 90% purity according to their expression of chemokine receptors from CD45RA-CD25-CD8-CD3+ cells. Single cell “TH9” clones were directly sorted into 96well plate according to their expression of chemokine receptors (see above). Single cell clones were expanded and maintained by periodic restimulation with PHA (1 µg/ml, Sigma-Chemicals) and irradiated allogenic feeder cells (5x104/well) in culture medium.

Transcriptional profiling of Th1, Th2, Th9, and Th17 T cell clones

Project description:We next sought to identify the transcriptional program that differentiates IL-9+Th2 cells from “conventional” Th2 cells. To this end, we selected representative Th1, Th17, Th2, and IL-9+Th2 clones (Figure 5A) and determined their transcriptome in the resting state and at different time points after activation using RNAseq. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll-Plaque Plus (GE Healthcare, UK) density gradient centrifugation. Human CD4+ T cells were isolated from PBMC by EasySep positive selection kit (Stemcell Technologies) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Positively selected CD4+ T cells were washed with PBS and stained for subsequent Th cell subset sorting. Memory Th cell subsets were sorted to over 90% purity according to their expression of chemokine receptors from CD45RA-CD25-CD8-CD3+ cells: Th1(CXCR3+CCR8-CCR6-CCR4-), Th2 (CXCR3-CCR8-CCR6-CCR4+), Th17 (CXCR3-CCR8-CCR6+CCR4+), Th9 (CXCR3-CCR8+CCR6-CCR4+). Single cell Th subset clones were directly sorted into 96well plate according to their expression of chemokine receptors (see above). Single cell clones were expanded and maintained by periodic restimulation with PHA (phytohaemaglutinine, 1 µg/ml, Sigma-Chemicals) and irradiated allogenic feeder cells (5x104/well) in culture medium. T cells were polyclonally activated using beads coated with antibodies against CD3, CD2, and CD28 (T cell/bead = 2:1, human T cell activation/expansion Kit, Miltenyi). Cell cultures were sampled before activation (time 0h) and 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 48 hours after activation.

Whole transcriptomic sequencing of zebrafish rx3 mutants during optic vesicle morphogenesis

Project description:To identify genes regulated by Rx3 during optic vesicle morphogenesis, adult zebrafish carriers of a null rx3 mutation were mated. Before 13 hours post fertilization (hpf), the earliest time point at which optic vesicle evagination phenotypes could be reliably detected, offspring were phenotypically separated into pools comprising of mutants with an absence of optic vesicles or siblings exhibiting a wild-type phenotype. Three replicates of pooled RNA samples from 13 hpf eyeless mutants (rx3-/-) or phenotypically wild-type siblings (rx3+/+ or rx3+/-), and one replicate of 13 hpf wild-type zebrafish larva were collected for whole transcriptome sequencing. Whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on zebrafish rx3-/- mutants, wild-type siblings and wild-type AB strains at 13 hpf

TGF-Î² Tumor Suppression Through A Lethal EMT

Project description:TGF-Î² is a major tumor suppressor in gastrointestinal (GI) and squamous carcinomas, which exhibit frequent genetic inactivation of Smad4, a key TGF-Î² signaling component. Apoptosis is implicated as an important mediator of the tumor suppressive function of TGF-Î², although this process remains poorly understood. To address this long-standing question, we dissected the tumor suppressive action of TGF-Î² in naÃ¯ve pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells. Here we show that TGF-Î²/Smad4 signaling triggers an EMT in Kras-mutant pancreatic progenitor cells but turns this process into a trigger of apoptosis by converting the progenitor cell transcription factor Sox4 from an enforcer of epithelial progenitor identity into an activator of apoptosis. This occurs as a result of the EMT-linked repression of the endodermal master regulator Klf5, which cooperates with Sox4 to promote epithelial progenitor identity, and loss of which unmasks a latent apoptotic transcriptional program driven by Sox4. By losing Smad4, Kras-mutant PDA cells avoid this fate and instead use Sox4 as a TGF-Î²-dependent enforcer of the epithelial progenitor cell state. In this study, 16 RNA-Seq samples and 6 ChIP-Seq samples are included.
