A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult Drosophila ventral nerve cord

ABSTRACT: The Drosophila ventral nerve cord (VNC) receives and processes descending signals from the brain to produce a variety of coordinated locomotor outputs. It also integrates sensory information from the periphery and sends ascending signals to the brain. We used single-cell transcriptomics to generate an unbiased classification of cellular diversity in the VNC of five-day old adult flies. We produced an atlas of 26,000 high-quality cells, representing more than 100 transcriptionally distinct cell types. The predominant gene signatures defining neuronal cell types reflect shared developmental histories based on the neuroblast from which cells were derived, as well as their birth order. Cells could also be assigned to specific neuromeres using adult Hox gene expression. This single-cell transcriptional atlas of the adult fly VNC will be a valuable resource for future studies of neurodevelopment and behavior.

A scRNAseq atlas of larval Drosophila ventral cord - a resource for studying motor systems function and development

Project description:Drosophila larval ventral nerve cord (VNC) shares many similarities with the spinal cord of vertebrates and has emerged as a major model for understanding the development and function of motor systems. We use high quality single cell RNA sequencing to create a comprehensive atlas of larval VNC cell types. Our atlas provides a high-resolution characterization of larval VNC capturing primary neurons, glia and the functional landscape that coordinates larval behavior. At the same time, this atlas offers unique insights into neurogenesis and into the strategies and signaling networks utilized for generation of the adult VNC.

β-aminopropionitrile Induces Distinct Pathologies in the Ascending and Descending Thoracic Aortic Regions of Young Mice

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine whether lysyl oxidase inhibition using β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) induced region-specific aortopathies in mice. The effects of BAPN were first characterized with regard to dose, strain, age, and sex. Subsequently, BAPN was administered to young male C57BL/6J mice. BAPN-induced aortic rupture predominantly occured or originated in the descending thoracic aorta. For mice surviving 12 weeks of BAPN administration, profound dilatation was consistently observed in the ascending region, while relatively sporadic in the descending thoracic region. Pathological features were distinct between the ascending and descending thoracic regions. Aortic pathology in the ascending region was characterized by luminal dilatation and elastic fiber disruption throughout the media. The descending thoracic region frequently had dissection with false lumen formation, macrophage infiltration, collagen deposition, and remodeling of the media and adventitia. Cells surrounding the false lumen were predominantly positive for α-smooth muscle actin. To investigate the molecular basis of the regional heterogeneity, ascending and descending thoracic aortas were harvested after one week of BAPN administration prior to the appearance of overt pathology. BAPN compromised contractile properties in both regions equivalently, while RNA sequencing demonstrated that BAPN altered transcriptomes related to extracellular matrix and cell division differentially between the two regions. In conclusion, BAPN-induced pathologies show distinct, heterogeneous features within and between ascending and descending aortic regions in young mice.

Deep learning enables genetic analysis of the human thoracic aorta

Project description:Enlargement or aneurysm of the aorta predisposes to dissection, an important cause of sudden death. We trained a deep learning model to evaluate the dimensions of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta in 4.6 million cardiac magnetic resonance images from the UK Biobank. We then conducted genome-wide association studies in 39,688 individuals, revealing 82 loci associated with ascending and 47 with descending thoracic aortic diameter, of which 14 loci overlapped. Transcriptome-wide analyses, rare-variant burden tests, and human aortic single nucleus RNA sequencing prioritized genes including SVIL, which was strongly associated with descending aortic diameter. A polygenic score for ascending aortic diameter was associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm in 385,621 UK Biobank participants (HR = 1.43 per SD; CI 1.32-1.54; P = 3.3·10-20). Our results illustrate the potential for rapidly defining quantitative traits with deep learning, an approach that can be broadly applied to biomedical images.

Embark cross-sectional study of inactive and active lesions from the ileum and colon of inflammatory bowel disease patients

Project description:Hypothesis: Gene expression differences in biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease can be used to identify molecular heterogeneity within patients with active disease. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or normal healthy controls (with or without infectious colitis) underwent ileocolonoscopy. In healthy controls, biopsies were taken in the sigmoid colon (n=21), ascending/descending colon (n=25) and the terminal ileum (n=12). In patients with Crohn's disease, biopsies were taken in the ascending/descending colon (n=107) and terminal ileum (n=70) in uninflamed areas in all patients; in patients with mucosal lesions, additional biopsies were taken in inflamed regions of the ascending/descending colon (n=35) and terminal ileum (n=55). In ulcerative colitis patients, paired uninflamed sigmoid (n=48) and inflamed sigmoid biopsies (n=46) were taken. Biopsies were placed in RNAlater at the clinical site, frozen and shipped to Genentech, where they were disrupted using TissueLyzer beads, then RNA was isolated using RNeasy columns. RNA was hybridized to Agilent human 4x44kv1 arrays, dual channel, using universal reference.

Transcriptomic profiling of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) differentiation into mesangial cells

Project description:Purpose: To study the pattern of transcriptomic changes during MSC differentiation into mesangial cells and to identify biomarkers or key genes involved in this differentiation. Methods: Differentiation of MSC into mesangial cells was induced by co-culturing with injured mesangial cells in trans-well dishes (n=3). Total RNA from co-cultured MSC at different time point were extracted before running RNA sequencing. Generated RNA-seq data was analysed. Results and conclusions: A systematic analysis has identified several monotonic pattern key genes (either ascending or descending). These identified descending monotonic key genes are related to stemness or regulation of cell cycle while ascending monotonic key genes are associated with the functions of mesangial cells.

Transcriptome of Subcortical White Matter and Spinal Cord After Spinal Injury and Cortical Stimulation

Project description:Spinal cord injury disrupts ascending and descending neural signals causing sensory and motor dysfunction below the injury. Neuromodulation with electrical stimulation is used in both clinical and research settings to induce neural plasticity and improve functional recovery following injury. However, the mechanisms by which electrical stimulation affects recovery remain unclear. In this study we examined the effects of cortical electrical stimulation following injury on transcription at several levels of the central nervous system. We performed a unilateral cervical spinal contusion injury in rats and delivered stimulation for one week to the contralesional motor cortex to activate a descending motor tract.RNA was purified from bilateral subcortical white matter, and 3 levels of the spinal cord. Here we provide the complete data set in the hope that it will be useful for researchers studying electrical stimulation as a therapy to improve recovery from the deficits associated with spinal cord injury.

Gene Array Data from p0 Mouse pup; ascending and descending aortas; fibulin-4 knockout and control

Project description:Fibulin-4 plays an essential role in elastic fiber formation, though it's exact function is unclear. Mice lacking the fibulin-4 gene develop cutis laxa with thoracic aortic aneurysms and have narrowed descending aortic diamaters, dying shortly after birth. Another model that disrupt elastic fiber formation, elastin gene knockeds, are also perinatally lethal and have narrowed descending aortas but do not develop thoracic aneurysms. We hypothesized that there may be altered gene expression to explain the altered anatomy based on aortic tissue location we observed, which may provide therapeutic target(s) Ascending and descending aortas of p0 mouse pups were dissected, pooled in groups of eight, and homogenized to isolate RNA and we used microarrays on the pooled samples to identify genes that had expression significantly changed.

A proximal-to-distal survey of healthy adult human small intestine and colon epithelium by single-cell transcriptomics

Project description:Background and Aims: Single-cell transcriptomics offer unprecedented resolution of tissue function at the cellular level, yet studies analyzing healthy adult human small intestine and colon are sparse. Here, we present single-cell transcriptomics covering the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and ascending, transverse, and descending colon from 3 humans. Methods: 12,590 single epithelial cells from three independently processed organ donors were evaluated for organ-specific lineage biomarkers, differentially regulated genes, receptors, and drug targets. Analyses focused on intrinsic cell properties and capacity for response to extrinsic signals along the gut axis across different humans. Results: Cells were assigned to 25 epithelial lineage clusters. Human intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are not specifically marked by many murine ISC markers. Lysozyme expression is not unique to human Paneth cells (PCs), and PCs lack expression of expected niche-factors. BEST4+ cells express NPY and show maturational differences between SI and colon. Tuft cells possess a broad ability to interact with the innate and adaptive immune systems through previously unreported receptors. Some classes of mucins, hormones, cell-junction, and nutrient absorption genes show unappreciated regional expression differences across lineages. Differential expression of receptors and drug targets across lineages reveals biological variation and potential for variegated responses. Conclusions: Our study identifies novel lineage marker genes; covers regional differences; shows important differences between mouse and human gut epithelium; and reveals insight into how the epithelium responds to the environment and drugs. This comprehensive cell atlas of the healthy adult human intestinal epithelium resolves likely functional differences across anatomical regions along the gastrointestinal tract and advances our understanding of human intestinal physiology.
