Project description:Astrocytes, the predominant glial cells in the central nervous system, play essential roles in maintaining brain function. Reprogramming induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to become astrocytes through overexpression of the transcription factors, NFIB and SOX9, is a rapid and efficient approach for studying human neurological diseases and identifying therapeutic targets. However, the precise differentiation path and molecular signatures of induced astrocytes remain incompletely understood. Accordingly, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing analysis on 64,736 cells to establish a comprehensive atlas of NFIB/SOX9-directed astrocyte differentiation from human iPSCs. Our dataset provides detailed information about the path of astrocyte differentiation, highlighting the stepwise molecular changes that occur throughout the differentiation process. This dataset serves as a valuable reference for dissecting uncharacterized transcriptomic features of NFIB/SOX9-induced astrocytes and investigating lineage progression during astrocyte differentiation. Moreover, these findings pave the way for future studies on neurological diseases using the NFIB/SOX9-induced astrocyte model.

Project description:The human leukemia cell line U937 is a well-established model for studying monocytic cell differentiation. We used a modified protocol (SADE) of serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) and developed a SADE linker-anchored PCR assay to investigate the pattern of expression of known genes and to identify new transcripts in proliferating cells and during cell growth arrest and differentiation. We implemented new informatic tools to compare expression profiles before and after exposure of cells to differentiation inducers. From the analysis of 47,388 tags, we identified 13,806 distinct transcripts, 265 of which showed significant variations (P<0.01). Among 1219 well-identified genes, major changes concerned transcription and translation components, cytoskeleton, and macrophage-specific genes. Nearly half of the tags, some of them expressed at high levels, matched partially characterized genes or ESTs, or revealed yet-unknown transcripts, providing a wealth of new candidate genes that may reveal novel aspects of terminal monocytic differentiation.

Project description:<p>During development of the human brain, multiple cell types with diverse regional identities are generated. Here we report a system to generate early human brain forebrain and mid/hindbrain cell types from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), and infer and experimentally confirm a lineage tree for the generation of these types based on single-cell RNA-Seq analysis. We engineered <i>SOX2<sup>Cit/+</sup></i> and <i>DCX<sup>Cit/Y</sup></i> hESC lines to target progenitors and neurons throughout neural differentiation for single-cell transcriptomic profiling, then identified discrete cell types consisting of both rostral (cortical) and caudal (mid/hindbrain) identities. Direct comparison of the cell types were made to primary tissues using gene expression atlases and fetal human brain single-cell gene expression data, and this established that the cell types resembled early human brain cell types, including preplate cells. From the single-cell transcriptomic data a Bayesian algorithm generated a unified lineage tree, and predicted novel regulatory transcription factors. The lineage tree highlighted a prominent bifurcation between cortical and mid/hindbrain cell types, confirmed by clonal analysis experiments. We demonstrated that cell types from either branch could preferentially be generated by manipulation of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. In summary, we present an experimentally validated lineage tree that encompasses multiple brain regions, and our work sheds light on the molecular regulation of region-specific neural lineages during human brain development.</p>

Project description:We explored a novel hydrogel spheroid-based microfluidic model for screening lymphoma treatments. We utilized primary patient DLBCL cells in combination with NK cells and rCHOP treatment, and used ranscriptomic sequencing to determine the biological relevance of this approach. Our results showed complex changes in the transcriptomic response to treatment stimuli, including numerous metabolic and immunogenic changes. These findings support this model as an optimal platform for comparative screening of novel treatments.

Project description:Kidney organoids are a valuable and innovative model to understand genetic diseases, kidney development and transcriptomic dynamics. However, their proteome has not been analyzed so far. Here, we analyzed the organoid proteome trajectory during differentiation. Genes involved in podocytopathies and cystic kidney diseases were abundantly expressed on protein level, distinguishing organoids from almost every available cell culture model. On their pathway to terminal differentiation, organoids developed increased deposition of extracellular matrix. Single cell transcriptomic analysis suggests that most changes locate to podocytes and early podocyte progenitors. This matrix deposition is different from commonly used animal models of glomerular disease. We grew organoids from two independent batches according to the Freedman protocol, and performed proteomic profiling (Freedman, Brooks et al. 2015, Czerniecki, Cruz et al. 2018). The IPSCs were differentiated for a three-week period until first spheroids from. From day 21 of the culture they were used in our experiments up until day 29, where off-target differentiation of organoids becomes an issue.

Project description:Differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells to red cells requires coordinated expression of numerous erythroid genes. To understand the regulatory mechanisms governing lineage commitment we conducted a high resolution methylomic and transcriptomic analysis of six major stages of human erythroid differentiation. We observed widespread epigenetic differences between early and late stages of erythropoiesis with progressive loss of methylation being the dominant change during differentiation. Gene bodies, intergenic regions and CpG shores were preferentially demethylated during erythropoiesis. Epigenetic changes at transcription factor binding sites correlated significantly with changes in gene expression and were enriched for binding motifs for SCL, MYB, GATA and other factors not previously implicated in erythropoiesis. Demethylation at gene promoters was associated with increased expression of genes, while epigenetic changes at gene bodies correlated inversely with gene expression. Important gene networks encoding erythrocyte membrane proteins, surface receptors and heme synthesis proteins were found to be regulated by DNA methylation. Furthermore, integrative analysis enabled us to identify novel, potential regulatory areas of the genome that underwent differential methylation and correlated with corresponding changes in gene expression, as evident by epigenetic changes in a predicted PU.1 binding site in intron 1 of the GATA1 gene. This intronic site was found to be conserved across species and was validated to be a novel PU.1 binding site by qCHIP in erythroid cells. Altogether, our study provides a comprehensive analysis of methylomic and transcriptomic changes during erythroid differentiation and demonstrates that hypomethylation of the genome during erythroid differentiation has implications in modulating gene expression. We examined changes in methylation on days 0, 3, 7, 10, 13 and 16 of human erythroid culture. Two independent sets of experiments were performed.

Project description:In this study, we used transcriptomic and hormonomic approaches to examine drought-induced changes in barley roots and leaves and its rhizosphere. By studying hormonal responses, alternative splicing events in barley, and changes in the rhizosphere microbiome, we aimed to provide a comprehensive view of barley drought-adaptive mechanisms and potential plant-microbe interactions under drought stress. This approach improved our understanding of barley adaptive strategies and highlighted the importance of considering plant-microbe interactions in the context of climate change.

Project description:Sexual reproduction in angiosperms requires the production and delivery of two male gametes by a three-celled haploid male gametophyte. This demands synchronised gene expression in a short developmental window to ensure double fertilization and seed set. While transcriptomic changes in developing pollen are known for Arabidopsis, no studies have integrated RNA and proteomic data in this model. Further, the role of alternative splicing has not been fully addressed, yet post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation may have a key role in gene expression dynamics during microgametogenesis. We have refined and substantially updated global transcriptomic and proteomic changes in developing pollen for two Arabidopsis accessions. Despite the superiority of RNA-seq over microarray-based platforms, we demonstrate high reproducibility and comparability. We identify thousands of long non-coding RNAs as potential regulators of pollen development, hundreds of changes in alternative splicing and provide insight into mRNA translation rate and storage in developing pollen. Our analysis delivers an integrated perspective of gene expression dynamics in developing Arabidopsis pollen and a foundation for studying the role of alternative splicing in this model.
