Project description:RNAseq data from hMPDMs (HoxB4 myeloid progenitor derived macrophages), BMDMs (bone-marrow derived macrophages), and Raw264.7 cell line in unstimulated condition and 3 hours post LPS stimulation (lipopolysaccharide). Gene expression demonstrates similarities between hMPDMs and BMDMs supporting use of hMPDMs in this study of NFkB stimulus response signaling dynamics, whereas Raw264.7 cells are more distinct from BMDMs in terms of expression LPS-inducible genes.
Project description:To describe the protein profile in hippocampus, colon and ileum tissue’ changing after the old faeces transplants, we adopted a quantitative label free proteomics approach.
Project description:(1) We sought to characterize the genomic profiles of H3K18Ac and H3K18Cr before and after the activation of the LPS-induced inflamatory response to elucidate the role of differential acylation in the process of gene activation. We performed chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) with two antibodies, anti-H3K18Ac and anti-H3K18Cr, in RAW264.7 cells +/- LPS stimulation. (2) We also sought to characterize the effect of increasing the cellular concentration of crotonyl-CoA prior to LPS-stimulation on the expression of different classes of LPS-induced genes. We performed RNA-seq on mRNA isolated from RAW264.7 cells under four conditions a) untreated and unstimulated, b) untreated and LPS stimulated, c) crotonate pre-treated and unstimulated, d) crotonate pre-treated and LPS stimulated. Sequencing was performed on the HiSeq2000 (Illumina).
Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.
