Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 5000-10000 HSCs (KL CD150+ CD48- CD34-) were sorted into lysis buffer from the pools of naive or 1-month infected WT or Dnmt3a-/- mice (n=10-12 per group). RNA was isolated with the NucleoSpin ® RNA Plus XS kit (Macherey Nagel). RNA-seq libraries were prepared by using SMARTer® Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian (Takara Bio Usa). Illumina NovaSeq SP was used for sequencing with a paired-end sequencing length of 10bp. FASTQ files were preprocessed using HTS stream (https://github.com/ibest/HTStream) and the clean FASTQ file were aligned using STAR. Differential expression (DE) analysis of gene expression was performed using Limma-Voom. False discovery rate (FDR)<0.05 was considered statistically significant. We performed gene ontology analysis for differentially expressed genes with q value <0.05.
Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the identity of the RNA linked to the paraspeckles in the rat GH4C1 cell line. GH4C1 cell were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde in PBS. Then nuclei were purified, lysed and sonicated. RNA pull-down was performed using two antisense DNA biotinylated oligonucleotide probes that target the lncRNA Neat1. Streptavidin-magnetic beads were added to hybridization reaction and complexes were captured by magnets. RNA was isolated using NucleoSpin®RNA XS (Macherey-Nagel).
Project description:Interleukin 2 (IL-2) promotes proliferation and differentiation of CD8+ T cells in vitro and in vivo. To define gene expression regulated by IL-2, we purified naive CD8+ T cells, activated them for 2 days followed by treatment with recombinant IL-2 or with neutralizing antibody against IL-2 and compared gene expression between the two treatments. Total RNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin RNA XS kit (Macherey-Nagel), amplified using a PicoSL RNA amplification kit (Nugen) and biotinylated with Encore biotin module (Nugen). Labeled RNA was hybridized to Mouse Gene 1.0ST microarrays (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
Project description:Runx/Cbfb heterodimers play important roles in the development of hematopoietic cells in mouse embryos and adults. In order to identify genes that are regulated by Runx/Cbfb, we purified Lin– c-kit+ Sca1+ (LSK) cells and Lin– c-kit+ Sca1– CD16/32+ (GMP) cells from Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) and Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice and profiled gene expression using microarray. 200,000 LSK and GMP cells were purified separately from two 7 week old Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) mice and two Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice by cell sorting. The purity was higher than 98%. Total RNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin RNA XS kit (Macherey-Nagel), amplified using a PicoSL RNA amplification kit (Nugen) and biotinylated with Encore biotin module (Nugen). Labeled RNA was hybridized to Mouse Gene 1.0ST microarrays (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
Project description:Abstract: Wallerian degeneration (WD) is a process of autonomous distal degeneration of axons upon injury. Macrophages (MP) of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are main cellular agent controlling this process. Some evidences suggest that resident PNS-MP along with MP of hematogenous origin may be involved but whether these two subsets exert distinct functions is unknown. Combining MP-designed fluorescent reporters mice, and coherent anti-stoke raman scattering (CARS) imaging of the sciatic nerve, we deciphered the spatio-temporal choreography of resident and recently recruited MP after injury and unveiled distinct functions of these subsets with recruited MP responsible of efficient myelin stripping and clearance while resident MP were involved in axonal regrowth. This work provides clues to tackle selectively cellular processes involved in neurodegenerative diseases. Methods: (relevant for this GEO dataset): RNAseq of sciatic nerve macrophages from mice after CCI: Sorted cells were lysed in 100µl of RA1/TCEP buffer (NucleoSpin RNA XS, Macherey-Nagel), snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until RNA extraction. All samples were processed in parallel and RNA extraction (without Carrier RNA but with on-column DNase treatment) was performed according to manufacturer's instructions (NucleoSpin RNA XS, Macherey-Nagel). RNA was eluted in RNAse-free water. Preparation of cDNA libraries for RNAseq was done using the SmartSeq method according to manufacturer's instructions (SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing, Clontech/TaKaRa). Due to the low number of cells, the total amount of eluted RNA was used as starting material for reverse transcription, followed by 18 cycles of pre-amplification. 1ng of cDNA were used for RNAseq sequencing library preparation, according to manufacturer's instructions (Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation, Illumina). Final samples pooled library prep were sequenced on a Nextseq 500 ILLUMINA with MidOutPut cartridge (2x130Millions of 75 bases reads) with 2 runs (4plex and 5plex), corresponding to 2x30Millions of (paired-end) reads per sample after demultiplexing.
Project description:Purpose: To evaluate whether methylation changes occuring upon M. avium infection correlate with transcriptional alterations in trained HSCs, we reisolated CD45.2 untrained vs. trained HSCs (LK CD150+CD48–) from transplanted mice one-month after M. avium challenge to generate bulk RNA-Seq libraries. We compared both libraries to a library from HSCs of WT donor mice following primary M. avium infection. This comparison revealed changes in global transcription in trained HSCs after M. avium challenge compared to primary infection, with the untrained set serving as the irradiation and transplant control. Methods: 10,000-50,000 HSCs (CD45.1/CD45.2 KL CD150+ CD48-) into HBSS from naive or 1-month infected WT/transplanted mice (n=10-12 per group). DNA and RNA were isolated with the NucleoSpin ® RNA Plus XS kit (Macherey Nagel). RNA-seq libraries were prepared using SMARTer® Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian (Takara Bio Usa). Illumina NovaSeq SP was used for sequencing with a paired-end sequencing length of 10bp. Samples were sequenced at Admera Health using an Illumina HiSeq 2x150 at sequencing depth of ~40 million reads. FASTQ files were preprocessed using HTS stream (https://github.com/ibest/HTStream) and the clean FASTQ file were aligned using STAR. Differential expression (DE) analysis of gene expression was performed using Limma-Voom. False discovery rate (FDR)<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Further analysis was completed using Illumina Basespace packages and programs (deSeq2) We performed gene ontology analysis for differentially expressed genes with q value of <0.05. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA, Broad Institute and UC San Diego) was completed using normalized gene counts as previously described ((Subramanian et al., 2005). Results were visualized using Tidyverse packages in R. Comparison of differentially expressed gene lists and generation of Venn diagrams were generated using the GeneVenn webtool. Biological process and molecular function gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes found in bulk RNA-seq datasets were completed using GENEONTOLOGY of the Mus musculus database (Ashburner et al., 2000; Gene Ontology, 2021). Results:The gene expression profile of M. avium-challenged untrained HSCs was compared to that of control infected animals . Next, the gene expression profile of trained HSCs was compared to the same untransplanted controls to detect transcriptional changes potentiated by training. This analysis revealed many more genes (670) upregulated upon secondary infection in the trained population compared to untrained (255). GO analysis of the trained HSPC gene signature showed that there was an enrichment in pathways related to G protein-coupled receptor signaling, cellular adhesion, cell differentiation, immunity, and autophagy . Strikingly, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the genes uniquely upregulated upon infectious challenge in the trained HSPCs aligned with enhanced metabolism — glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid metabolism — genes that are reportedly rewired in macrophages in other trained immunity models (Figure 4C). Pathways related to transcription and translation were also upregulated in trained HSPCs (Supplemental Figure 4C). On the other hand, untrained HSPCs primarily upregulated chemokine responses and immune response pathways, as we previously reported. Together, these analyses reveal trained versus untrained HSPCs have differing responses to infection at 1 month post-challenge compared to untransplanted controls. When directly comparing untrained versus trained gene expression, those with a primary infectious exposure (untrained HSPCs) upregulated immune response pathways while trained cells upregulated metabolic pathway genes. We speculate that relatively lower immune response pathways in trained HSPCs may reflect greater control of infection in the host, enabling the cells to prioritize other cellular pathways. Conclusions: Upregulation of metabolism and gene regulation pathways in trained HSPCs that have been rechallenged with M. avium may reflect greater control of infection and improved immunity within the host compared to untrained controls.
Project description:affy_petaldvt_lyon_rose. The objective is to identify genes involved in petal development in rose. We aim at identifying genes whose expression correlates with flower opening and scent emission. In this study, we used a microarray approach to compare the transcriptome of a scented rose flower (PF) versus non-scented rose flower (RF). Samples (petal tissues) were collected at the same time early in the afternoon. Total RNA was extracted using the Plant RNA kit (Macherey Nagel), and then used to hybridize Rosa-Affymetrix microarrays. Keywords: scented vs non-scented flowers
Project description:Mice were exposed to 3% DSS in the drinking water for 7 days followed by 3 days of recovery. Colon tissues were collected at 3 day after recovery in RNA later and RNA was extracted using DNA, RNA, protein purification kit from Macherey-Nagel.
Project description:Recent studies suggest the potential involvement of common antigenic stimuli on the ontogeny of monoclonal TCRalphabeta+/CD4+/NKa+/CD8-/+dim T-large granular lymphocyte (LGL) lymphocytosis. Since healthy individuals show (oligo)clonal expansions of hCMV-specific TCRVbeta+/CD4+/cytotoxic/memory T-cells, we investigate the potential involvement of hCMV in the origin and/or expansion of monoclonal CD4+ T-LGL. A detailed characterization of those genes that underwent changes in T-LGL cells responding to hCMV was performed by microarray gene expression profile (GEP) analysis. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from magnetic-activated cell sorter (MACS)-freshly purified hCMV-stimulated CD69+, hCMV-stimulated CD69- and unstimulated monoclonal CD4+ T-LGL lymphocytes from PB samples from four TCRVbeta+/CD4+ T-LGL lymphocytosis patients (purity of �98%). Briefly, 100 ng of total RNA from each of the 12 purified cell fractions was amplified and labeled using the GeneChip two cycle cDNA synthesis kit and the GeneChip IVT labeling kit (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA), respectively. Then it was hybridized to the Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix). Experiment Overall Design: In parallel, total RNA was also isolated from highly purified (� 98% purity) hCMV-stimulated (specific) CD69+ CD4+ T-lymphocytes isolated from PB samples from hCMV-seropositive healthy donors (n=5, mean age of 36 years) using a FACSAria flow cytometer (BDB). To get pure and highly concentrated RNA, the silica membrane technology NucleoSpin® RNA XS (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) was used. Total RNA was then amplified, labeled and hybridized to the Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix) as described above.
Project description:Total RNA from shMLL1 Ls174T cells induced with 300ng/ml doxycycline for 3 days and non-induced parental cells was isolated with the NucleoSpin RNA isolation kit (Macherey-Nagel) and sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina).
Project description:Purpose: To define the mechanism underlying BAFT2-driven HSC depletion during chronic infection, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of WT and Batf2 KO HSCs in the presence and absence of M. avium infection Methods: 10,000-50,000 HSCs (CD45.1/CD45.2 KL CD150+ CD48- CD34-) into HBSS from naive or 1-month infected WT abd Batf2KO mice (n=10-12 per group). DNA and RNA were isolated with the RNeasy Kit (Qiagen, Cat#74004). RNA-seq libraries were prepared using SMARTer® Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian (Takara Bio Usa). Illumina NovaSeq SP was used for sequencing with a paired-end sequencing length of 10bp.

Biological process and molecular function gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes found in bulk RNA-seq datasets were completed using GENEONTOLOGY of the Mus musculus database (Ashburner et al., 2000; Gene Ontology, 2021). Results: Infection significantly stimulated the expression of inflammatory response pathways (Figure 6A-C) as well as similar induction of common IFNγ-regulated genes such as Stat1 and Stat2 (Figure 6D). Interestingly, we found an increased number of IFN response genes were upregulated during M. avium infection in WT but not Batf2 KO HSC, including Stat3, Mx2, Bst2, Ifi35, and Ifngr2 (Figure 6D and S5C), and the overall degree of induction of all IFN response genes was higher in the WT compared to Batf2 KO. Conclusion: BATF2 amplifies pro-inflammatory signaling pathways in HSCs during chronic infection
