Project description:There has been an extensive effort underway to profile epigenetic features at the genome-wide scale using primary ex vivo tissues. Cell-type specificity of epigenomes calls for enrichment to obtain a homogenous cell population from a small quantity of tissues. Thus technologies that permit both ultralow input and high throughput are desired for profiling an array of histone marks. Here we demonstrate a simple microfluidic technology, SurfaceChIP-seq, for profiling genome-wide histone modifications using as few as 30 cells per assay and with up to 8 assays running in parallel. We applied the technology to study epigenomic landscapes in neurons and glia in prefrontal cortex and cerebellum of mouse brain. The data revealed extensive epigenomic difference in the two regions on important functional elements such as promoters and enhancers.

Project description:Extensive effort is under way to survey the epigenomic landscape of primary ex vivo tissues to establish normal reference data and to discern variation associated with disease. The low abundance of some tissue types and the isolation procedure required to generate a homogenous cell population often yield a small quantity of cells for examination. This difficulty is further compounded by the need to profile a myriad of epigenetic marks. Thus, technologies that permit both ultralow input and high throughput are desired. We demonstrate a simple microfluidic technology, SurfaceChIP-seq, for profiling genome-wide histone modifications using as few as 30 to 100 cells per assay and with up to eight assays running in parallel. We applied the technology to profile epigenomes using nuclei isolated from prefrontal cortex and cerebellum of mouse brain. Our cell type-specific data revealed that neuronal and glial fractions exhibited profound epigenomic differences across the two functionally distinct brain regions.

Project description:The depressive-like behavior in animals is usually assessed by standardized behavioral tests such as the forced swimming test. However, the findings of these tests may be affected by individual variability among animals, which may hinder the discovery of genes responsible for depression. Few reports have showed the influence of individual variability in identifying the genes associated with depressive-like behavior. In this study, we measured the immobility ratio (% immobility in 5 min) in the forced swimming test in 106 male Wistar rats. According to the distribution of individual immobility ratio, the rats were divided into three groups: the control group with immobility ratio -1 to +1 standard deviation (SD) from the mean, the depressive group with immobility ratio +1 to +2 SD above the mean, and the anti-depressive group with immobility ratio -1 to -2 SD below the mean. Microarray analysis was used to identify the genes differentially expressed by depressive group rats in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. The differentially expressed genes in both brain regions of the depressive group were Alas2, Gh1, Hba-a2, Hbb, Hbb-b1, Hbe2, LOC689064, Mrps10, Mybpc, Olf6415, and Pfkb1. Ingenuity pathway analysis identified Gh1 as a hub gene in the networks of the differentially expressed genes in both brain regions. This study indicates that inherent differences in depressive-like behavior may be related to the Gh1 expression in the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex. We measured the immobility ratio of 106 normal rats using the forced swimming test and statistically analysis. We selected the rats exhibitting depressive-like behavior or average in the 106 rats. Total RNA was prepareted from the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex. An equal amount of RNA from 4 rats in each group was pooled and used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae wildtype (YPH) and ung1-deleted strains were cultivated in mutation accumulation experiments over several bottlenecks (0-50-100-150). Two different cutlure systems were used either (i) using random colony selection and plating on petri dish (classical); or (ii) a microfluidic-based system (microfluidic)

Project description:To understand the roles of molecules in functional differentiation among adult human tissues, we performed a systematic survey of mRNA, protein, and protein phosphorylation as well as miRNA expression, in three tissues: cerebellum, prefrontal cortex and liver. We found that tissues were clearly distinct from one another at all levels. Furthermore, our results showed that miRNA differently expressed between tissues have significant, but modest effect on expression of mRNA and somewhat stronger effect on expression of proteins among the tissues. Notably, miRNA preferentially targeted gene regulators, transcription factors and kinases, in all three tissues studied. Following this path, we found that miRNA effect was further amplified through expression changes of target transcription factors and kinases, leading to further changes in their targets’ expression and phosphorylation levels. Importantly, miRNA regulation leads to reduced, rather than increased gene expression variation among individuals between two brain regions. These observations uncover the complexity of miRNA regulatory interactions and are compatible with suggested role of miRNA in gene expression canalization. Adult human post-mortem tissue samples: cerebellum, prefrontal cortex and liver, were collected. Each tissue contains three individuals totalling 9 samples in this datasets. RNA extracted from these dissected tissue was hybridized to Agilent Human miRNA Microarray.

Project description:In this study, we present a multiplexed version of Deterministic Barcoding in Tissue (xDBiT) to acquire spatially resolved transcriptomes of nine tissue sections in parallel. New microfluidic chips were developed to spatially encode mRNAs over a total tissue area of 1.17 cm2 with spots of 50 µm×50 µm. Optimization of the biochemical protocol increased read and gene counts per spot by one order of magnitude compared with previous reports. Furthermore, the introduction of alignment markers allows seamless registration of images and spatial transcriptomic spot coordinates. Together with technological advances, we provide an open-source computational pipeline to transform raw sequencing data from xDBiT experiments into the AnnData format. The functionality of xDBiT was demonstrated by the acquisition of 16 spatially resolved transcriptomic datasets from five different murine organs, including cerebellum, liver, kidney, spleen, and heart. Factor analysis and deconvolution of xDBiT spatial transcriptomes allowed for in-depth characterization of the murine kidney.

Project description:Cell mediated cytotoxicity plays important roles in host immune defence and cancer immunosurveillance. Current technologies that study cell cytotoxicity are target cell centric and lack the capability to identify and isolate cytotoxic effector cells. We developed the Multiplexed Identification of Cytotoxic Cell assay (PAINTKiller), a novel flow cytometry compatible method for direct identification and sorting of cytotoxic effector cells. We demonstrate that this technique can accurately identify cytotoxic effector cells which can be isolated, expanded and retained its superior cytotoxic capability. This technique can also be easily combined with other flow cytometry complementary assays, cell sorting and sequencing. The results indicate that PAINTKiller assay will be a powerful tool to uncover the determinants of functional immune response and will be of significant interest for cell therapy manufacturing workflow.
