High-throughput single-cell transcriptomes of the brain of the nudibranch Berghia stephanieae

ABSTRACT: Previously, transcriptomics data for mollusc has been obtained by whole-brain bulk RNA-seq and low-throughput scRNA-seq. We want to construct the first molluscan high-throughput single-neuron transcriptomes for Berghia stephanieae. Around 129,000 cells were collected from 20 brains and the libraries were constructed using the 10X Genomics' Chromium platform. The brains were separated into two samples: the main brain (i.e., the cerebropleural, pedal, buccal ganglion) and the rhinophore ganglion sample. After library preparation, around 1,000 cells were receovered and sequenced. After data analysis, the cells formed eight clusters with marker genes for each cluster identified. Various cell populations that express a wide range of both small-molecule neurotransmitters and neuropeptides such as serotonergic, small cardioactive peptide (SCP), APGWamide, and FMRFamide cells were also identified in the dataset. Interestingly, cells from the rhinophore ganglion of Berghia exhibit great cell heterogeneity, with cells splitting into two general categories and four distinct clusters. The project produced a single-cell dissociation protocol that can be adapted for use in other nudibranch molluscs and a custom data analysis pipeline for data of this nature.

Palaeoproteomics of archaeological shell beads

Project description:In this project we have applied palaeoproteomics to study archaeological shell beads dating back to the beginning of the 7th mill. cal BCE and recovered from a prehistoric site in Jordan (Ba'ja). These beads were made of mollusc shells and were of unknown origin, but suspected to be made of larger bivalves such as Tridacna or Spondylus sp. The aim of the study was to analyse ancient proteins extracted from these beads in order to infer their biological origin. Tiny amounts of ancient samples were used and the extracted proteins were analysed by high resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). In order to identify obtained peptides, we have created an Ã¢â‚¬Ëœin-houseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ molluscan protein database, by gathering molluscan sequences (proteins and transcriptomes), which were downloaded from publicly available databases in NCBI. Searching against this comprehensive database, we were able to identify a number of shell proteins from Tridacna sp., the giant clam shells. Our study reports the oldest molluscan protein sequences ever recovered that come from a very warm environment.

Single cell RNA seq of the developing murine adrenal gland reveals correlation of Schwann cell precursor signature to neuroblastoma phenotype.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor and accounts for ~10% of pediatric cancer-related deaths. The exact cell-of-origin has yet to be elucidated, but it is generally accepted that neuroblastoma derives from the neural crest and should thus be considered an embryonal malignancy. About 50% of primary neuroblastoma tumors arise in the adrenal gland. Here we present an atlas of the developing mouse adrenal gland at a single cell level. Five main cell cluster groups (medulla, cortex, endothelial, stroma and immune) make up the mouse adrenal gland during fetal development. The medulla group, which is of neural crest origin, is further divided into seven clusters. Of interest is the Schwann cell precursor (SCP) and the neuroblast cluster, a highly cycling cluster that shares markers with sympathoblasts. The signature of the medullary SCP cluster differentiates neuroblastoma patients based on disease phenotype: the SCP signature score anti- correlates with ALK and MYCN expression, two indicators of poor prognosis. Furthermore, a high SCP signature score is associated with better overall survival rates. This study provides an insight in the developing adrenal gland and introduces the SCP gene signature as being of interest for further research in understanding neuroblastoma phenotype.

Single cell RNA-seq of adult human neural retina

Project description:To comprehensively profile cell types in the human retina, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing on 20,009 cells obtained post-mortem from three donors and compiled a reference transcriptome atlas. Using unsupervised clustering analysis, we identified 18 transcriptionally distinct clusters representing all known retinal cells: rod photoreceptors, cone photoreceptors, Müller glia cells, bipolar cells, amacrine cells, retinal ganglion cells, horizontal cells, retinal astrocytes and microglia.

Loss of Stim2 in zebrafish induces retinal gene expression cellular changes resembling glaucoma characteristics [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Calcium is involved in vision processes in retina and is implicated in various pathologies including glaucoma. Rods are protected against prolonged lowering of intracellular calcium ion concentrations by Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE). We showed zebrafish lacking SOCE calcium sensor Stim2 had problem with vision as indicated by behavior tests, staining of retina and downregulation of genes related to light perception. In this work we aimed to understand the mechanism responsible for the vision problems in stim2 zebrafish knockout. scRNA-sequencing of neuronal origin cells from brains of 5 dpf larvae identified 27 clusters. Differently expressed genes were detected in ten clusters including amacrine and GABAergic retinal interneurons and GABAergic optic tectum cells. In five clusters the proportion of cells in stim2 KO fish versus control was significantly decreased including GABAergic diencephalon and optic tectum, and was increased in amacrine and GABAergic retinal interneurons. Transmission Electron Microscopy in stim2 KO fish revealed decrease in width of inner plexiform layer (IPL), ganglion cells and their dendrites numbers what is characteristic for glaucoma. Analysis of cell density in the inner nucleus layer, which includes amacrine cells among others, showed a significant decrease in the number of GABAergic neurons.The area of cristae in photoreceptor mitochondria was statistically lower in stim2 KO than in control retinas.

Scalable generation of Schwann cell precursors from human pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Schwann cells (SCs) are an absolute prerequisite for development of effective treatment of myelin disorders and nerve injuries. However, human sources of functional, myelinating SCs are extremely limited. Here, we have developed a novel, efficient strategy for producing directly an unlimited supply of functional human SCs via successful derivation of expandable Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) (hPSC-SCPs). Functional and molecular characteristics of SCs from hPSC-SCPs (hPSC-SCP-SCs) appeared to be similar to those of authentic Schwann cells. As a novel therapeutic target, transplanted hPSC-SCP-SCs effectively promoted axonal regeneration through directly myelinating regenerated-axons in sciatic nerve injured mice. Here, we present hPSC-SCPs and hPSC-SCP-SCs as an outstanding resource to use for investigating human Schwann cell pathology and biology and for translational approaches to PNS and CNS repair and regeneration.

Towards Single Bacterium Proteomics

Project description:Bacteria are orders of magnitude smaller than mammalian cells, and while single cell proteomics (SCP) detects and quantifies today several thousands of proteins per mammalian cell, it is not at all clear whether conventional SCP methods will be suitable for bacteria. Here we report on the first successful attempt to detect proteins from individual Escherichia coli bacteria, with validation of our findings by comparison with bulk proteomics data.
