Project description:Forced expression of transcription factors for lineage reprogramming brings hope to cell-based therapy. However, its application is hampered by risks of potential genetic aberrations and tumorigenicity. Using defined small molecules in presence of gastric stromal cells as feeders, we reprogramed human gastric epithelia into induced multipotent endodermal progenitors (hiMEPs) with efficiency of up-to-6%. The hiMEPs expressed genes relative to endodermal lineages but not associating with pluripotency, and could be expanded clonogenically remaining as undifferentiated colonies. Upon induction, hiMEPs were able to give rise to multiple functional endodermal cell types, apart from ectodermal or mesodermal lineages. TGFβ inhibition and particular Wnt signaling activation were crucial in reprogramming process. Collective advantages of availability from donors without age restriction, capabilities in expansion and differentiation, and no concern of tumorigenesis, let hiMEPs have the considerable application potentials on cell therapies of diseases such as liver failure and diabetes, as well as personalized drug-screenings. Gastric epithelial cells (GECs) were isolated from human stomach. Human induced multipotent endodermal progenitors (hiMEPs) were reprogrammed from GECs by small molecules. The hiMEP-Heps were differentiated from hiMEPs under hepatic differentiation protocol. Fetal-Heps were isolated from aborted fetal liver. Definitve endoderm (DE), primitive gut tube (PGT), and posterior foregut (PFG) were endodermal stem cells derived form human enbryonic stem cells (hESCs).We used RNA sequencing and DNA methylation analysis to detail the global gene expression profile of GECs, hiMEPs, hiMEP-Heps, Fetal-Heps, DE, PGT and PFG to delineate the difference of these cells.

Human gastric epithelial cells (hGECs) and gastric subepithelial myofibroblasts (GSEMFs) are isolated from human stomach, and human duodenum epithelial cells (hDECs) are isolated from human duodenum. Human Induced multipotent endodermal stem cells (hiMESCs) were reprogrammed from hGECs/hDECs by small molecules with the support of GSEMFs. Definitive endoderm cells (DEs) are derived from human embryonic stem cells by differentiation. Totally, 13 samples including two samples of hDECs, one sample of hGECs, two clones of D-hiMESCs, one clone of G-hiMESCs, four samples of DEs and three samples of GSCs were analyzed using microarray.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to assess the genes upregulated when pDCs were stimulated with TLR7 agonist imiquimod and TLR9 agonist CpG C. pDCs were isolated from six healthy donors by FACS sorting, and were stimulated with CpG and imiquimod for 18 hours, after which RNA was extracted for next generation sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq platform. Unstimulated samples were included as controls.

Project description:Histone modification H3K9me2 is associated with gene silencing and forming large heterochromatin domains. But the micro-structure within large H3K9me2 domains and their relationship with DNA methylation remains unclear. This dataset was generated to compare with genome-wide DNA methylation data. Genome-wide distribution of H3K9me2 in human fibroblasts was mapped using ChIP-chip.

Project description:Increased activation of the serine-glycine biosynthetic pathway is an integral part of cancer metabolism that drives macromolecule synthesis needed for cell proliferation. Whether this pathway is under epigenetic control is unknown. Here we show that the histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase G9A is required for maintaining the pathway enzyme genes in an active state marked by H3K9 monomethylation and for the transcriptional activation of this pathway in response to serine deprivation. G9A inactivation depletes serine and its downstream metabolites, triggering cell death with autophagy in cancer cell lines of different tissue origins. Higher G9A expression, which is observed in various cancers and is associated with greater mortality in cancer patients, increases serine production and enhances the proliferation and tumorigenicity of cancer cells. These findings identify a G9A-dependent epigenetic program in the control of cancer metabolism, providing a rationale for G9A inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for cancer. Affymetrix microarray assays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on total RNA isolated from three independent samples of BE(2)-C cells treated either with 0.05% DMSO or with 5 M-BM-5M BIX01294 (B9311, Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 hours.

Project description:Conventional prokaryotic RNA labeling method usually requires large amounts of starting materials and tends to generate high background signals. Recently, two novel methods based on amplification systems were introduced. Here, we compared three alternative strategies: direct labeling method, ployadenylation-involved oligo-dT priming amplification method and random priming amplification method (hereafter referred to as DL, PAOD and RPA method in this article) for prokaryotic RNA labeling employing the expression profiling investigation in Escherichia coli (E. coli) heat shock model. To identify an optimal RNA labeling method for prokaryotic microarray analysis, experiments were performed with starting RNA obtained from E.coli growing at control (37°C) or heat shock (43°C) condition. We employed 0.5 μg of total RNA for a single round of amplification using PAOD and RPA methods coupling to IVT to generate cDNA targets. In addition, an approach using DL method was also performed. Three types of cDNA mixtures containing Cy5-labeled (or Cy3-labeled) control DNA and Cy3-labeled (or Cy5-labeled) DNA targets were hybridized with E.coli microarrays in a dye-swap strategy. Replicate experiments were conducted from the same batch of total RNA to assess technique reproducibility of each approach.
