Project description:The small intestinal crypts harbour secretory Paneth cells (PCs), which express bactericidal peptides that are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Considering the diverse environmental conditions throughout the course of the small intestine, multiple subtypes of PCs are expected to exist. We applied single cells RNA-sequencing of PCs combined with deep bulk RNA-sequencing on PC populations of different locations (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) and discovered several expression-based clusters. Some of these are discrete and resemble tuft cell-like PCs, goblet cell-like PCs, PCs expressing stem cell markers, and senescent PCs. Other clusters are less discrete, but based on bulk RNA-seq appear to be derived from different locations along the small intestinal tract. Furthermore, a comprehensive spatial analysis was conducted using the Resolve bioscience technique, identifying different PCs clusters along the small intestine, but not along the crypts themselves.
Project description:Results of RNA-seq of normal C57BL/6 small intestinal epithelial cells sorted from duodenum, jejunum and ileum separately. Samples are named as follow; mouse replicate number-duodenum(1), jejunum(2) or ileum(3). For example, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 representing duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively from mouse replicate number 1.
Project description:Affymetrix U95Av2 expression data from human intestinal cells (Caco-2) and tissues from all intestinal segments (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon). Entries contain the search terms glycosylase, phosphorylase, cytochrome or nucleoside, which were relevant to our search for enzymes capable of cleaving the N-glycosidic bond of nucleoside analog drugs.
Project description:We aimed to investigate the effects of maternal heat stress on the expression of differentilally expressed genes in th placenta, fetal duodenum and jejunum
Project description:IL-17 receptor plays a major role in the antibacterial defense and regulation of host-microbiota interaction. However its impact on Paneth cells, cell-type specific for production of antibacterial peptides, is still not clear. Here, we used genetic depletion of IL-17 receptor specific for Paneth cell population (Defa6-iCre x Il17ra-flox) and performed the RNA sequencing on FACS-sorted Paneth cells and also complete ileum tissue, comparing Cre+ and Cre- littermates.
Project description:We report the expression profiles of three stem-cell varieties derived from the ileum and jejunum, focusing on gene signatures that are consistent in all stem cells of an intestinal location. We find that intestinal stem cells establish and maintain a regional identity that is discernable through gene expression patterns consistent with intestinal function particular to that region.
