Project description:SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the SARS-CoV-2 trascriptome was reported recently, its coding capacity and the relative production of different viral proteins remained unclear. Utilizing a suit of ribosome profiling techniques, we present a high resolution map of the SARS-CoV-2 coding regions.

Project description:Transgenic mice overexpressing human mineralocorticoid receptor (hMR) under the control of the ecologic promotor 1 (P1 hMR mice) were used as well as their WT littermates. We observed anatomical signs of choroid neuropathy in these mice. Bulk-transcriptomic analysis of retinal pigment epithelium/choroid complex was peformed to identify potential mechanisms.

Project description:Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), providing critical roles in the overall maintenance and homeostasis. Over 100 years ago, Cajal first showed morphological depictions of different astrocyte populations. Surprisingly, to date astrocytes remain classified in two groups based on their morphological and neuroanatomical positioning. However, accumulating evidence over the past few years is showing that astrocytes are highly diverse throughout the CNS. Astrocyte heterogeneity is not surprisingly, as these cells interact with all other cells in the CNS. Like neurons, astrocytes may also have subpopulations that vary in their functionality. In this mini review, we will explore some of the recent evidence in the adult CNS of astrocyte diversity. First, we will review the very little literature on healthy adult astroglia heterogeneity, followed by the identification of different subpopulations in disease states and how this varies between human and mouse. Exploring this new area of neuroscience will hopefully provide researchers with a new perspective on astrocytes and their heterogeneity throughout the CNS.

Project description:Background: Recent characterization of the transcriptional landscape of cell lines and whole tissues has suggested widespread transcription of the genome, including loci that produce regulatory non-coding RNAs that function within the nucleus. Methods: Here, we have defined the nuclear transcriptional landscape of the three major cellular divisions of the nervous system using flow sorting of genetically labeled nuclei from bacTRAP mouse lines followed by characterization the unique expression of coding, non-coding and intergenic RNAs in the mature mouse brain with RNAseq, and validation with independent methods. Results: Our findings reveal diverse expression across the cell-types of all classes of RNAs, including long non-coding RNAs - several of which were confirmed as highly enriched in the nuclei of specific cell-types using anatomical methods. Finally, we also discovered several examples of cell-type specific expression of tandem gene fusions, and report the first cell-type specific expression of circular RNAs, notably a neuron specific and nuclear enriched RNA arising from the gene Hnrnpu. Conclusion: These non-coding RNA expression data should provide an important context for studies evaluating the function of a variety of ncRNA in the nervous system.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes have been considered as a functionally homogeneous population in the central nervous system (CNS). We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on 5072 cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage from 10 regions of the mouse juvenile and adult CNS. Thirteen distinct populations were identified, 12 of which represent a continuum from Pdgfra(+) oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) to distinct mature oligodendrocytes. Initial stages of differentiation were similar across the juvenile CNS, whereas subsets of mature oligodendrocytes were enriched in specific regions in the adult brain. Newly formed oligodendrocytes were detected in the adult CNS and were responsive to complex motor learning. A second Pdgfra(+) population, distinct from OPCs, was found along vessels. Our study reveals the dynamics of oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation, uncoupling them at a transcriptional level and highlighting oligodendrocyte heterogeneity in the CNS.

Project description:In this study, we have employed both bulk RNA- and sc-RNA-seq to investigate the transcriptional status of TNBC cells, grown as 2D or 3D cultures, prior and after development of resistance to two widely used chemotherapeutic drugs, paclitaxel and doxorubicin. Our aim was to uncover the gene expression programs that support drug tolerance in treatment-naïve cells and drug resistance in heterogeneous chemoresistant populations. Analysis of the data from the two techniques yielded similar results to a large degree, yet several low abundance gene expression changes in the chemoresistant cells were detected only by scRNA-seq.

Project description:Mutations in the MATR3 gene encoding the nucleotide binding protein Matrin 3 have recently been identified as causing a subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS) and more rarely causing distal myopathy. Translating the identification of MATR3 mutations into an understanding of disease pathogenesis and the creation of mouse models requires a complete understanding of normal Matrin 3 levels and distribution in vivo. Consequently, we examined the levels of murine Matrin 3 in body tissues and regions of the central nervous system (CNS). We observed a significant degree of variability in Matrin 3 protein levels among different tissues of adult animals, with the highest levels found in reproductive organs and the lowest in muscle. Within the adult CNS, Matrin 3 levels were lowest in spinal cord. Further, we found that Matrin 3 declines significantly in CNS through early development and young adulthood before stabilizing. As previously reported, antibodies to Matrin 3 primarily stain nuclei, but the intensity of staining was not uniform in all nuclei. The low levels of Matrin 3 in spinal cord and muscle could mean that that these tissues are particularly vulnerable to alterations in Matrin 3 function. Our study is the first to characterize endogenous Matrin 3 in rodents across the lifespan, providing the groundwork for deciphering disease mechanisms and developing mouse models of MATR3-linked ALS.
