ABSTRACT: Human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells gives rise to complete blood lineages through the process of hematopoiesis. Here we tried to differentiate a particular lineage i.e myeloid from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells using a transcription factor PU.1 and its mutated form. Gene expression analysis was performed after treating cells with protein factors and different cytokine combinations. Cells were given six different treatments including control-PU.1 only and PU.1 with cytokines combination; Y244D only and Y244D with cytokines combination and only cytokine combination (IL3, GMCSF, Flt2, MCSF, and SCF). After 5 days of incubation, cells were washed and pellet was preserved in RNAlater (Ambion) to be shipped to Genotypic Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Bangalore) for microarray analysis.
Project description:THP-1 is a human monocytic cell line derived from an acute monocytic leukemia patient. It is efficiently converted into macrophages using cytokine combinations and or by using chemical compound Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Together with performing gene expression analysis on HSC’s we also performed gene expression analysis on THP-1 cells in order to check which genes have been expressed/overexpressed during differentiation into macrophages. Cells were given treatment with cytokines combination (GMCSF, MCSF). After 24 hours of incubation, cells were washed and pellet was preserved in RNAlater (Ambion) to be shipped to Genotypic Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Bangalore) for microarray analysis. RNA was isolated by Qiagen’s RNeasy mini kit and was reverse transcribed into cDNA. Cy3 labeled cRNA was formed by cDNA by T7 promoter based linear amplification using Agilent’s Quick amp labeling kit and quantified in Nanodrop Spectrophotometer and their integrity was checked by Bioanalyser. .

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptomes of human dendritic cells and macrophages derived from monocytes using MCSF + IL-4 + TNFa, or IL-34 + IL-4 + TNFa, or dendritic cells derived from monocytes using GMCSF + IL-4.
Project description:Ascites-associated macrophages were collected from human ovarian carcinoma patients and their expression profiles determined via Agilent microarrays. In addition, monocyte derived macrophages from healthy donors were differentiated ex-vivo with MCSF and GMCSF and their expression profiles determined as well.
Project description:Recent studies have documented genome-wide binding patterns of transcriptional regulators and their associated epigenetic marks in hematopoietic cell lineages. In order to determine how epigenetic marks are established and maintained during developmental progression, we have generated long-term cultures of hematopoietic progenitors by enforcing the expression of the E-protein antagonist Id2. Hematopoietic progenitors that express Id2 are multipotent and readily differentiate upon withdrawal of Id2 expression into committed B lineage cells, thus indicating a causative role for E2A in promoting the B cell fate. Genome-wide analyses revealed that a substantial fraction of lymphoid and myeloid enhancers are pre-marked by H3K4me1 in multipotent progenitors. However, H3K4me1 levels at a subset of enhancers are elevated during developmental progression, resulting in evolving enhancer repertoires that we propose orchestrate the myeloid and B cell fates. ChIP-Seq and gene expression profiling were performed in an inducible hematopoietic pluripotent cell line that can be differentiated into multiple lymphoid lineages. This submission contains ChIP-Seq data. Recent studies have demonstrated a tight correlation between transcriptionally active promoters and H3K4 trimethylation, whereas H3K4 monomethylation has been associated with enhancer activity. To determine whether the changes in gene expression patterns upon differentiation correlate with the presence of H3K4me3 as well as H3K4me1, ChIP-sequencing was performed on these two marks on cell lysates that were derived from Id2-HPCs and differentiated Id2-HPCs. The H3K4me1 marks were further analyzed to investigate the dynamics of enhancer repertoires between these cells. Id2-HPCs were cultured in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/M-NM-2-me and IL7, Flt3-ligand, and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in a humidified incubator at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2. Id2-HPC expanded cells were depleted of small (<1-5%) numbers of CD19-, CD25- and CD11b-positive cells by auto-MACS. For myeloid differentiation, cells were cultured for up to 6 days in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/M-NM-2-me and IL3, Flt3L, GMCSF and MCSF cytokines. To promote B-cell differentiation, cells were cultured for up to 5 days in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/M-NM-2-me and IL-7 and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in the presence of 1 ug/mL doxycycline, or alternatively, in alpha-MEM medium in the presence of cytokines and on Tst-4 stromal cells.

This submission contains gene expression profiling data. To compare the expression signatures from differentiated B- and myeloid-cells derived from hematopoietic progenitors that express Id2, Id2-HPCs were differentiated into either CD19+ B cells or CD11b+ myeloid cells. The gene expression profiles of differentiating B cells at 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 72-, 120-, and 240-hour time points were also investigated. RNA was isolated from the cultures and analyzed by microarray gene expression analysis. Id2-HPCs were cultured in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/β-me and IL7, Flt3-ligand, and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in a humidified incubator at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2. Id2-HPC expanded cells were depleted of small (<1-5%) numbers of CD19-, CD25- and CD11b-positive cells by auto-MACS.

Project description:The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) is known to regulate various cognitive and behavioral processes. However, while functional diversity among PVT circuits has often been linked to cellular differences, the molecular identity and spatial distribution of PVT cell types remains unclear. To address this gap, here we used single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and identified five molecularly distinct PVT neuronal subtypes. Additionally, multiplex fluorescent in situ hybridization of top marker genes revealed that PVT subtypes are organized by a combination of previously unidentified molecular gradients. Lastly, comparing our dataset with a recently published single-cell sequencing atlas of thalamus yielded novel insight into the PVT’s connectivity with cortex, including unexpected innervation of auditory and visual areas. This comparison also revealed that our data contains a largely non-overlapping transcriptomic map of multiple midline thalamic nuclei. Collectively, our findings uncover previously unknown features of the molecular diversity and anatomical organization of the PVT and provide a valuable resource for future investigations.
Project description:The transcription factor PU.1 occupies a central role in controlling myeloid and early B cell development and its correct lineage-specific expression is critical for the differentiation choice of hematopoietic progenitors. However, little is known of how this tissue-specific pattern is established. We previously identified an upstream regulatory cis-element (URE) whose targeted deletion in mice decreases PU.1 expression and causes leukemia. We show here that the URE alone is insufficient to confer physiological PU.1 expression, but requires the cooperation with other, previously unidentified elements. Using a combination of transgenic studies, global chromatin assays and detailed molecular analyses we present evidence that Pu.1 is regulated by a novel mechanism involving cross-talk between different cis-elements together with lineage-restricted autoregulation. In this model, PU.1 regulates its expression in B cells and macrophages by differentially associating with cell-type specific transcription factors at one of its cis-regulatory elements to establish differential activity patterns at other elements. Two DNaseI hypersensitivity datasets; bone marrow derived-macrophages and Splenic CD19+IgM+ B cells were used to study PU.1 regulatory elements
Project description:Gene expression profiling of primary cord blood hematopoietic stem cell (day 0, CD34+ cells), enriched control (untreated), Scriptaid and Valproic acid expanded CD34+ cells after a week in culture Individal cord blood CD34+ cells were processed individually and equal number of reisolated CD34+ cells from 3-4 samples were pooled after expansion to avoid the sample variations. Gene expression profiles of primary human cord blood CD34+ cells (day0), primary cells (PC) expanded in the presence or absence of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) in serum containing cultures supplemented with a combination of cytokines (SCF, FLT3, IL3 and TPO) for 7 days.
