Project description:Extensive cellular heterogeneity exists within specific immune-cell subtypes classified as a single lineage, but its molecular underpinnings are rarely characterized at a genomic scale. Here, we use single-cell RNA-seq to investigate the molecular mechanisms governing heterogeneity and pathogenicity of Th17 cells isolated from the central nervous system (CNS) and lymph nodes (LN) at the peak of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) or polarized in vitro under either pathogenic or non-pathogenic differentiation conditions. Computational analysis reveals a spectrum of cellular states in vivo, including a self-renewal state, Th1-like effector/memory states and a dysfunctional/senescent state. Relating these states to in vitro differentiated Th17 cells, unveils genes governing pathogenicity and disease susceptibility. Using knockout mice, we validate four novel genes: Gpr65, Plzp, Toso and Cd5l (in a companion paper). Cellular heterogeneity thus informs Th17 function in autoimmunity, and can identify targets for selective suppression of pathogenic Th17 cells while sparing non-pathogenic tissue-protective ones.

Project description:ROR?t is a transcription factor required for T helper 17 (Th17) cell development. We identified three ROR?t-specific inhibitors that suppress Th17 cell responses including Th17 cell-mediated autoimmune disease. We systemically characterized ROR?t binding data in the presence and absence of drug with corresponding whole-transcriptome sequencing for wild-type and ROR?t-deficient cells. ROR?t is central in a densely interconnected regulatory network, acting both as a direct activator of genes important for Th17 cell differentiation and as a direct repressor of genes from other T-cell lineages. The three inhibitors identified here reversed both of these modes of action, but to varying extents and through distinct mechanisms. Whereas one inhibitor displaced ROR?t from its target-loci, the two more potent inhibitors affected transcription predominantly without removing DNA-binding. Our work illustrates the power of a system-scale analysis of transcriptional regulation to characterize potential therapeutic compounds that inhibit pathogenic Th17 cells and suppress autoimmunity.

Project description:It remains an open question when and how the first cell fate decision is made in mammals. Using deep single-cell RNA-seq of matched sister blastomeres, we report highly reproducible interblastomere differences among ten 2-cell and five 4-cell mouse embryos. Inter-blastomere gene expression differences dominated between-embryo differences and noises, and were sufficient to cluster sister blastomeres into distinct groups. Dozens of protein-coding genes exhibited reproducible bimodal expression in sister blastomeres (0 vs. 1e3-1e6 of FPKM), which cannot be explained by random fluctuations. The protein expression of one of these bimodal genes, Gadd45a, exhibited clear inter-blastomeric contrasts. We traced some of the bimodal mRNA expressions to embryonic genome activation, and others to blastomere-specific RNA depletion. Inter-blastomere differences created co-expression gene networks that were much stronger and larger than those that can be possibly created by random noises. The highly correlated gene pairs at the 4-cell overlapped with those showing the same directions of differential expression between inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE). These data substantiate the hypothesis of inter-blastomere differences in 2- and 4-cell mouse embryos, and associate these differences with ICM/TE differences. 9 zygotes, 10 2-cell, and 5 4-cell mouse (C57BL/6) embryos were collected and multi-cell embryos were separated into blastomeres. 4 inner cell mass (ICM) and 3 trophectoderm (TE) samples are also extracted from mouse blastocysts. Transcriptome profiles for all samples are obtained via Smart-seq protocol.

Project description:A hallmark of RNA silencing is a class of ~22 nt RNAs which are processed from dsRNA precursor by Dicer. Accurate processing by Dicer is critical for the functionality of microRNAs (miRNAs). According to the current model, Dicer measures the length by anchoring the 3' overhang of the dsRNA terminus. Here we find that human Dicer binds to the 5' end of RNA and utilizes the 5' end as an additional reference point for cleavage site selection (5' counting rule). We further identify a novel motif (5'-pocket) in Dicer, which recognizes the 5' end of RNA. By analyzing miRNA population from 5'-pocket mutant Dicer expressing Dicer-null mES, we provide that the 5' pocket is significant for Dicer processing in vivo. Examination of small RNA profiles from Dicer-null mouse embryonic stem cells transfected with either wild-type or 5' pocket mutant Dice expression plasmids.

Project description:To determine genes regulated independently of microRNAs in early haematopoietic progenitors (LSKs) we compared the expression profiles of Drosha or Dicer deficient LSKs and control. Those genes differentially expressed between Drosha or Dicer deficient LSKs are likely regulated indepedently of microRNAs as either Drosha or Dicer deletion will lead to a complete and equivalent loss of microRNAs. LSKs were sorted from control, Drosha fl/fl of Dicer fl/fl mice.These cells were activated in vitro for 72 hours to induce total and equivalent deletion of Drosha or Dicer. RNA was extracted after 72 hours.3 repeats of the three groups were analyzed.

Project description:Long interspersed elements 1 (LINE-1 or L1) are retrotransposons that dominate the mouse genomic landscape, and are expressed in Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs), germ cells, and during early development. Based on clear precedents in plants and fission yeast, we investigated in this study a role for RNAi and other RNA degradation pathways in the regulation of L1 expression and mobilization. We uncovered the existence of novel small (s)RNAs that map to active L1 elements. Some of these sRNAs have characteristics of cognate short-interfering RNA populations, while others display length heterogeneity that evokes a biogenesis through a RNA surveillance pathway, in a Dicer-independent manner. We additionally found that genetic ablation of Dicer and the sRNA effector protein AGO2 has complex and profound consequences on L1 transcription and mobilization in ESCs, indicating that endogenous RNA interference (RNAi) pathway indeed maintain genomic integrity against L1 proliferation. Finally, we investigated the implication of L1 retrotransposition during ESC differentiation and propose that the mobilization of L1 elements in Dicer mutant ESCs could partially explain the inability of these cells to differentiate. 2 samples examined: WT E14 and Dicer mutant mouse ESCs

Project description:Transfer of somatic cell nuclei to enucleated eggs or ectopic expression of specific transcription factors are two different reprogramming strategies used to generate pluripotent cells from differentiated cells. However, they are poorly efficient and other unknown factors might be required to increase their success rate. Here, we show that Xenopus egg extracts at the metaphase stage (M phase) have a strong reprogramming activity on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). First, they reset replication properties of MEF nuclei toward a replication profile characteristic of early development and they erase several epigenetic marks, such as trimethylation of H3K9, H3K4 and H4K20. Second, when MEFs are reversibly permeabilized in the presence of M phase Xenopus egg extracts, they show a transient increase in cell proliferation, form colonies and start to express specific pluripotency markers. Finally, transient exposure of MEF nuclei to M phase Xenopus egg extracts increases the success of nuclear transfer to enucleated mouse oocytes and strongly synergize with the production of pluripotent stem cells by ectopic expression of transcription factors. The mitotic stage of the egg extract is crucial as neither of these effects is detected when using interphasic Xenopus egg extracts. Our data demonstrate that mitosis is essential to make mammalian somatic nuclei prone to reprogramming and that, surprisingly, the heterologous Xenopus system has features that are conserved enough to remodel mammalian nuclei. MEF cells were infected by retroviruses encoding for Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc and, then reversibly permeabilized and treated with Xenopus M-phase extract. All samples of each cell type (e.g. untreated MEF, ES cells and M-iPS cells) were made in triplicates. Total RNAs were extracted with RNeasy kit and hybridized on Nimblegen MM9 microarrays.
