Project description:Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and their transit amplifying cell (TAC) progeny sense BMPs at defined stages of the hair cycle to control their proliferation and differentiation. Here, we exploit the distinct spatial and temporal localizations of these cells to selectively ablate BMP signaling in each compartment and examine its functional role. We find that BMP signaling is required for HFSC quiescence and to promote TAC differentiation along different lineages as the hair cycle progresses. We also combine in vivo genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation and deep-sequencing, transcriptional profiling, and loss-of-function genetics to define BMP-regulated genes. We show that some pSMAD1/5 targets, like Gata3, function specifically in TAC lineage-progression. Others, like Id1 and Id3, function in both HFSCs and TACs, but in distinct ways. Our study therefore illustrates the complex differential roles that a key signaling pathway can play in regulation of closely related stem/progenitor cells within the context of their overall niche.

Project description:Mtb appears to have developed specialized biomolecular infrastructure to survive and persist within granulomas, where it is subjected to a diverse set of stress conditions. One of these stress conditions is hypoxia. We hypothesized that host cell response is radically altered with hypoxia stressed Mtb and designed in-vitro experiments to study this phenomenon. Hypoxia-stressed as well as aerobically grown Mtb were used to infect rhesus macaque bone marrow derived macrophages (Rh-BMDMs) and the host global transcriptional response compared. Using 4 x44 k Agilent arrays specific for rhesus macaque genome, we tested in biological duplicate the effect of aerogically grown Mtb on rhesus macaque BMDMs and compared this to the corresponding effect of the hypoxia-conditioned Mtb on rhesus macaque BMDMs

Project description:Quiescent hair follicle (HF) bulge stem cells (SCs) differentiate to early progenitor (EP) hair germ (HG) cells, which divide to produce transit-amplifying (TA) matrix cells. EPs can revert to SCs upon injury, but whether this de-differentiation occurs in normal HF homeostasis (hair cycle), and the mechanisms regulating both differentiation and de-differentiation are unclear. Here we use lineage tracing, gain of function, transcriptional profiling, and functional assays to examine the role of observed endogenous Runx1 level changes in the hair cycle. We find that forced Runx1 expression implements hair degeneration (catagen) and simultaneously promotes changes in the quiescent bulge SC transcriptome towards a cell-state resembling the EP HG fate. This cell-state transition is functionally reversible. We propose that SC differentiation and de-differentiation are likely to occur during normal HF degeneration and niche restructuring in response to changes in endogenous Runx1 levels associated with SC location with respect to the niche. Freshly isolated skin cells were FACS sorted based on K15-GFP+/a6-integrin+/CD34- as hair germ and K15-GFP+/a6-integrin+/CD34+ bulge cells. Duplicate samlpes from mice at PD20 that showed telogen morphology throughout skin were used for RNA prepartion and Affymetrix analysis. Wild and transgenic samples after 1-day of doxycycline treatement were compared.

Project description:In homeostasis of adult vertebrate tissues, stem cells are thought to self-renew by infrequent and asymmetric divisions that generate another stem cell daughter and a progenitor daughter cell committed to differentiate. This model is based largely on in vivo invertebrate or in vitro mammal studies. Here we examine the dynamic behaviour of adult hair follicle stem cells in their normal setting by employing mice with repressible H2B-GFP expression to track cell divisions and Cre inducible mice to perform long-term single cell lineage tracing. We provide direct evidence for the infrequent stem cell division model in intact tissue. Moreover, we find that differentiation of progenitor cells occurs at different times and tissue locations than self-renewal of stem cells. Distinct fates of differentiation or self-renewal are assigned to individual cells in a temporal-spatial manner. We propose that large clusters of tissue stem cells behave as populations, whose maintenance involves unidirectional daughter-cell fate decisions. We used microarrays to expression profile the stem cell progeny generated at distinct differentiation and self-renewal stages. Experiment Overall Design: We employed double transgenic mice, K5tTA x pTRE-H2B-GFP in which an epithelial Keratin 5 (K5) promoter drove repressible histone H2B-GFP expression. Repression is achieved by feeding the mice doxycycline for a period of time (chase), when the H2B-GFP dilutes in cells by 2-fold at division. This allowed us to quantify precise proliferation history in vivo, from the amount of H2B-GFP fluorescence retained in cells after chase. After various chase periods we sacrificed mice at different ages corresponding to distinct phases of hair cycle. We isolated skin cell suspensions from these mice and stained them for surface expression of stem cell niche bulge(Bu) markers CD34 and alpha 6-integrin. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) revealed histograms with distinct peaks of 2-fold median H2B-GFP intensity corresponding to distinct divisions. For microarray, we FACS sorted bulge(Bu) and non-bulge(NonBu) cells based cell surface marker staining and their proliferation history with H2B-GFP intensity, after two doxycycline chase schemes (Postnatal Day 18-PD21 or PD22-PD25), then extract total RNA from each cell fractions. For microarrays 5 ng of high quality RNA (Bioanalyzer, Agilent) were amplified (Ovation Amplification; Nugene) in the Cornell Microarray Core Facility. GeneChip IVT labelling was followed by Gene Chip MOE 430 2.0 hybridization, GeneArray 3000 scanning, GCOS generation of present calls and signal values (Affymetrix).

Project description:Spliced peptides have been identified in the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) peptidomes of several tumors and have emerged as novel autoantigens that can stimulate highly specific T cells. A special class of spliced peptides, hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs), bound to histocompatibility class II molecules are potential autoantigens in the development and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Recently, our laboratory demonstrated that HIPs are formed during insulin granule degradation in crinosomes isolated from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. In our current work, we have expanded this study to examine crinosomes from two other nondiabetic mouse strains, B6 and B6.g7, to prove that HIP formation is a consequence of normal insulin granule degradation and is independent of T1D. During the course of this work, we discovered that modified peptides comprise a significant source of false positive HIP assignments in our bioinformatics pipeline and posited that similar factors could explain the high percentage of spliced peptides in recent mass spectrometry-based studies of various tumor immunopeptidomes. Therefore, we re-analyzed data files from two recent studies that reported a large percentage of spliced peptides and demonstrated that both analyses contain many spectra erroneously assigned to spliced peptide sequences.

Project description:The ETS transcription factor ELF5 drives mammary alveolar development in preparation for lactation by forcing differentiation within the progenitor cell population. In luminal A breast cancer, early disease progression is predicted by high levels of ELF5, and in preclinical models elevated ELF5 is associated with its two key features, the acquisition of resistance to endocrine therapy and increased metastasis. We first created an MCF7 cell line with doxycycline-inducible ELF5 and then examined with ChIP-seq differences in genomic binding of FOXA1, ER and H3K4me3 upon doxycycline treatment, compared to vehicle. In addition we performed RNA-seq experiments to examine changes in gene expression upon induction of ELF5 expression. Here we demonstrate that ELF5 binding overlaps with FOXA1 and ER at enhancers and promoters, and when elevated causes FOXA1 and ER to bind to new regions of the genome involved in resistance to endocrine therapy. RNA-seq demonstrated that these changes altered gene expression to diminish estrogen influence, and that ELF5 regulated the expression of ER transcription-complex genes. These data show that ELF5 modulated estrogen-driven transcription in breast cancer by directing FOXA1 and ER to new genomic locations, and by interaction with, and regulation of, members of the ER transcriptional complex. This provides a mechanistic basis for the influence of ELF5 on the progression of luminal breast cancer to endocrine insensitivity.

Project description:Mechanisms of plasticity to acquire different cell fates are critical for adult stem cell (SC) potential, yet are poorly understood. Reduced global histone methylation is an epigenetic state known to mediate plasticity in cultured embryonic SCs and T cell progenitors. We used mouse hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) at two different hair cycle stages (early anagen and late catagen) to compare the genome-wide changes in the levels of histone modification marks H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3. Hair follicle stem cells from Early Anagen (EA-HFSCs) and Late Catagen (LC-HFSCs), and their non-HFSCs counterparts (nEA-HFSCs and nLC-HFSCs), were FACS-isolated for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis of H3K4me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3.
