Project description:To investigate the effect of cytokines secreted by type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) on hematopoietic stem cells (LSKs), we cultered LSKs with or without ILC2 conditioned supernatant (ILC2sn) We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3-4 samples per condition.
Project description:Sca1+/cKit– hematopoietic BMCs of hosts bearing instigating tumors (BPLER) promote the growth of responding (HMLER-HR) tumors that form with a myofibroblast-rich, desmoplastic stroma. BMCs from mice bearing Non-instigating tumors lack this ability Sca1+/cKit- BMCs were isolated from mice bearing Matrigel control or size-matched instigating or non-instigating tumors by FACS directly into Trizol reagent (Invitrogen).

Project description:WT GMPs (Lin- IL7R- Sca1- ckit+ FcgRhiCD34+) and inv(16)/KITD816Y GMPs (Lin- Sca1- ckit+ CD41- FcgR+ CD150-) were FACS sorted as described in material and methods from supplementary data (Estruch M et al 2020)
Project description:The RUNX genes encode for transcription factors involved in development and human disease. RUNX1 and RUNX3 are frequently associated with leukemias, yet the basis for their involvement in leukemogenesis is not fully understood. Here we show that Runx1;Runx3 double knockout (DKO) mice exhibited lethal phenotypes due to bone marrow failure and myeloproliferative disorder. These contradictory clinical manifestations are reminiscent of human inherited bone marrow failure syndromes like Fanconi anemia (FA), caused by defective DNA repair. Indeed, Runx1;Runx3 DKO cells showed mitomycin C hypersensitivity, due to impairment of monoubiquitinated-FANCD2 recruitment to DNA damage foci, although FANCD2 monoubiquitination in the FA pathway was unaffected. RUNX1 and RUNX3 interact with FANCD2 independent of CBFM-NM-2, suggesting non-transcriptional role for RUNX in DNA repair. These findings suggest that RUNX dysfunction causes DNA repair defect, besides transcriptional misregulation, and promotes development of leukemias and other cancers. 6 mice were analyzed in this study. 3 Runx1;Runx3 double knockout cKit+Sca1+Lin- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells were compared with their wild type littermate controls. RNA was isolated from 3 independent Runx1;Runx3 WT KSL samples, each pooled from 3 Runx1;Runx3 WT mice, and 3 independent Runx1;Runx3 DKO KSL samples, using the RNeasy Micro Kit (QIAgen). RNA integrity and quantity was assessed using the Agilent 2000 Bioanalyzer system. 3 M-NM-<g to 5 M-NM-<g RNA was processed using WT-Ovation Pico RNA Amplification System (NuGEN) paired with the WT-Ovation Exon Module and FL-Ovation cDNA Biotin Module (NuGEN). A detailed protocol in the userM-bM-^@M-^Ys guide kit was used without modification. cDNA were prepared for hybridization on GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix) according to the instructions in GeneChip Hybridization Wash and Stain Kit for ST arrays (Affymetrix). Microarray hybridization, scanning and preliminary MAS 5.0 normalizations were completed at the A*STAR Biopolis Shared Facilities (BSF).
Project description:To identify the molecular characterisitics of parallel lineage-biased MPP populations arising from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) we conducted genome-wide analyses of hematopoietic stem, progenitor and mature myeloid cell populations using Affymetrix Gene ST1.0 arrays. Microarray analysis of 3-5 biological replicates of the indicated hematopoietic populations, isolated by FACS sorting from C57BL/6 mouse BM. Immunophenotypic definitions: Long-term HSC (HSCLT) (Lin-/cKit+/Sca1+/Flk2-/CD48-/CD150+); Short-term HSC (HSCST) (Lin-/cKit+/Sca1+/Flk2-/CD48-/CD150-); MPP2 (Lin-/cKit+/Sca1+/Flk2-/CD48+/CD150+); MPP3 (Lin-/cKit+/Sca1+/Flk2-/CD48+/CD150-); MPP4 (Lin-/cKit+/Sca1+/Flk2+); CMP (Lin-/cKit+/Fc?R-/CD34+); GMP (Lin-/cKit+/Fc?R+/CD34+); Pre-granulocyte (PreGr) (Mac1+/Gr1int); Granulocyte (Gr) (Mac1+/Gr1hi). HSC and GMP samples listed here were also used as controls for our related microarray study GSE48893.
