Transcriptome of Smooth Muscle Cells, Interstitial Cells of Cajal and PDGFRα+ Cells

ABSTRACT: Genome scale expression data on absolute numbers of gene isoforms offer essential clues for cellular functions and biological processes. Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is regulated by smooth muscle cells (SMC) closely contacted with interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and fibroblast-like PDGFRα+ cells (PαC), forming an electrical syncytium. To uncover genetic identifies and cellular functions of the cells, we isolated these three cell populations from mouse small intestine and colon, obtained the transcriptome for each type of cells, and built each cell type transcriptome browser. To our knowledge, this is the first genetic resource providing a comprehensive reference for all mRNA transcripts expressed in these unique GI cell populations. Integration of these data with the UCSC genome browser revealed novel cell-specific markers, ion channel and transporter isoforms, and unique cellular and biological functions of these cells in GI physiology. Our transcriptome browsers bring new insight into the alternative expression of genes in different types of the cells and provides references for future functional studies.

Single-cell RNA-seq of primary human gastric interstitial cells of Cajal

Project description:Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders affect millions of people worldwide, yet remain poorly treated due to insufficient knowledge of the molecular networks controlling GI motility. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are critical GI pacemaker cells, and abnormalities in ICC are implicated in GI motility disorders. Nevertheless, human ICC are poorly characterised, largely due to difficulties in accessing sufficient numbers for research. Two cell surface proteins have been identified as ICC markers: the receptor tyrosine kinase, KIT; and the calcium-activated chloride channel, Anoctamin-1 (ANO1). Anti-KIT antibodies have been used to purify mouse ICC via flow cytometry. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of KIT-sorted, primary human gastric ICC to better understand networks controlling human ICC biology.

Longitudinal multi-omics reveals subset-specific mechanisms underlying irritable bowel syndrome

Project description:The gut microbiome has been implicated in multiple human chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Determining its mechanistic role in disease has been difficult due to apparent disconnects between animal and human studies and lack of an integrated multi-omics view of disease-specific physiological changes. We integrated longitudinal multi-omics data from the gut microbiome, metabolome, host epigenome, and transcriptome in the context of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) host physiology. We identified IBS subtype-specific and symptom-related variation in microbial composition and function. A subset of identified changes in microbial metabolites correspond to host physiological mechanisms that are relevant to IBS. By integrating multiple data layers, we identified purine metabolism as a novel host-microbial metabolic pathway in IBS with translational potential. Our study highlights the importance of longitudinal sampling and integrating complementary multi-omics data to identify functional mechanisms that can serve as therapeutic targets in a comprehensive treatment strategy for chronic GI diseases.

Expression data of PDGFRα- and PDGFRα+ mesenchymal stem cells isolated from mouse periosteum

Project description:The outer coverings of the skeleton, or periosteum, are arranged in concentric layers and act as a reservoir for tissue specific bone progenitors. Cellular heterogeneity within this tissue depot is increasingly recognized. Here, Pdgfra reporter animals were used to highlight a subset of periosteal progenitor cells with high osteogenic potential. Pdgfra+ periosteal progenitor cells enhanced osteogenic differentiation in vitro and improved fracture healing and bone regeneration in vivo. Depletion of Pdgfra-expressing progenitor cells interferes with cortical appositional bone, periosteal bone formation in response to mechanical load, and during fracture repair. Pdgfra+ periosteal progenitors give rise to Nestin+ periosteal cells overtime, after fracture and upon transplantation.

Expressed Pseudogenes in the Transcriptional Landscape of Human Cancers

Project description:In this study, we describe a systematic analysis of pseudogene 'transcription' from an RNA-Seq resource of 293 samples, from 13 cancer and normal tissue types. We observed a highly prevalent, genome-wide expression of pseudogenes that could be categorized as universally expressed or lineage- and/or cancer-specific. We also explored disease subtype specificity and functions of selected expressed pseudogenes. We provide evidence that transcribed pseudogenes are a significant contributor to the transcriptional landscape of cells and are positioned to play significant roles in cellular differentiation and cancer progression. Our work provides a transcriptome resource that enables high-throughput analyses of pseudogene expression.

Gene expression profiles induced by knockdown and overexpression of p63 variants in MCF-10A mammary epithelial cell line

Project description:p63 is critical for epithelial development yet little is known about the transcriptional programmes it regulates. The p63 transactivating (TA) isoforms contain an amino-terminal exon that encodes a p53-like transactivation domain, whereas ÎN-isoforms lack this domain but contain the common DNA binding domain (DBD), suggesting that TAp63 and ÎNp63 isoforms may have opposing functions. By characterising transcriptional changes and cellular effects following modulation of p63 expression, we have defined a vital role for p63 in cellular adhesion. Knockdown of p63 expression caused downregulation of cell adhesion-associated genes, cell detachment and anoikis in mammary epithelial cells and keratinocytes. Conversely, overexpression of the TAp63Î³ or ÎNp63Î± isoforms of p63 upregulated cell adhesion molecules, increased cellular adhesion and conferred resistance to anoikis. Total RNA was isolated 48 h after retroviral or adenoviral infection and was subjected to reverse transcription, labelling and hybridization. The knockdown samples were performed in duplicate with shRNA vector control, shRNA targetting all isoforms of p63 (shDBD) and shRNA targetting p63 isoforms containing the transactivating (TA) domains. The overexpression samples were performed in triplicate with vector control, overexpression of the ÎNp63Î± isoform, and overexpression of the TAp63Î³ isoforms.

Differential expression of genes related to purinergic signaling in smooth muscle cells, PDGFRα-positive cells, and interstitial cells of Cajal in the murine colon.

Project description:BackgroundPurinergic signaling provides regulation of colonic motility. Smooth muscle cells (SMC), interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α-positive (PDGFRα(+) ) cells are electrically coupled and form a functional (SIP) syncytium that constitutes the receptive field for motor neurotransmitters in the tunica muscularis. Each cell type in the SIP syncytium has specialized functions in mediating motor neurotransmission. We compared gene transcripts for purinergic receptors and membrane-bound enzymes for purine degradation expressed by each cell type of the SIP syncytium.MethodsFluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was used to purify SMC, ICC, and PDGFRα(+) cells from mixed cell populations of colonic muscles dispersed from reporter strains of mice with constitutive expression of green fluorescent proteins. Differential expression of functional groups of genes related to purinergic signaling was determined by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Key resultsWe detected marked phenotypic differences among SMC, ICC, and PDGFRα(+) cells. Substantial numbers of genes of importance in purinergic neurotransmission were enriched in PDGFRα(+) cells in relation to SMC and ICC. Notably, genes related to mediating effects and extracellular biotransformation of enteric purinergic inhibitory neurotransmitters were strongly expressed by PDGFRα(+) cells.Conclusions & inferencesOur results demonstrate differential expression of genes for proteins involved in purinergic signaling in the SIP syncytium. These results may further clarify the specific functions of each cell type, identify novel biomarkers for postjunctional cells, and provide hypotheses for further studies to understand the physiological roles of cells of the SIP syncytium.

The function of the GIGANTEA gene StGI.04 in potato: Uncovering a new function affecting the anthocyanin content of tuber skin

Project description:GIGANTEA (GI) is a plant-specific, circadian clock-regulated, nuclear protein with pleiotropic functions studied in many plant species. It is involved in flowering, circadian clock control, chloroplast biogenesis, carbohydrate metabolism, stress responses and synthesis of volatiles. In potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), however, only its role in tuber initiation is reported. Based on the findings in other plant species we hypothesized that the function of GI is not restricted to tuberization in potato. To test this hypothesis we repressed the expression of a GI gene, StGI.04 in the commercial potato cultivar ‘Désirée’ and investigated the effect of repression at morphological and transcriptome level. We found that, like GI in other plant species, StGI.04 influences the expression of the key genes of circadian clock, flowering, starch synthesis and stress responses. Furthermore, we detected a novel function of a GI gene in influencing the anthocyanin synthesis and skin colour of potato tubers.
