Project description:Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of a human fetal jejunum tissue sample from 1 individual biological specimen age 40 weeks post conception. The data set is composed of cells from diverse intestinal lineages.
Project description:To establish better understanding of cells found in jejunal and ileal Peyer's patches of pigs, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to recover and analyze cells and spatial regions from sections of jejunum and ileum containing Peyer's patches. Cells identified via single-cell RNA sequencing included B, T/innate lymphoid cell, myeloid, epithelial, and stromal lineage cells. Spatial dots recovered via spatial transcriptomics belonged to regions including villi, crypts, interfollicular/parafollicular zones, follicles, and muscularis. Overall, results provide new information on regional localization and transcriptional profiles of cells in the pig small intestine.

Project description:Energy metabolism and extracellular matrix function are closely connected to orchestrate and maintain tissue organization, but the crosstalk is poorly understood. Here, we used scRNA-seq analysis to uncover the importance of respiration for extracellular matrix homeostasis in mature cartilage. Genetic inhibition of respiration in cartilage results in the expansion of a central area of 1-month-old mouse femur head cartilage showing disorganized chondrocytes and increased deposition of extracellular matrix material. scRNA-seq analysis identified a cluster-specific decrease in mitochondrial DNA-encoded respiratory chain genes and a unique regulation of extracellular matrix-related genes in nonarticular chondrocyte clusters. These changes were associated with alterations in extracellular matrix composition, a shift in the collagen/non-collagen protein content and an increase of collagen crosslinking and ECM stiffness. The results demonstrate, based on findings of the scRNA-seq analysis, that respiration is a key factor contributing to ECM integrity and mechanostability in cartilage and presumably also in many other tissues.
Project description:Profiling of the human jejunum peptidome before and after total gastrectomy. The study compares the peptidome of jejunum using intact mass spectrometry and database searching. These peptides included most gut hormones including proglucagon derived peptides, PYY, GIP, Motilin somatostatin and neurotensin amongst others.
Project description:Results of RNA-seq of normal C57BL/6 small intestinal epithelial cells sorted from duodenum, jejunum and ileum separately. Samples are named as follow; mouse replicate number-duodenum(1), jejunum(2) or ileum(3). For example, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 representing duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively from mouse replicate number 1.
