Project description:The recently developed transcription, epitopes, and chromatin accessibility by sequencing (TEA-seq) and similar DOGMA-seq single-cell trimodal omics assays provide unprecedented opportunities for understanding cell biology, but independent optimization, benchmarking and evaluation are lacking. We explored the utility, pros and cons of DOGMA-seq compared to the bimodal cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq) assay in activated and stimulated human peripheral blood T cells. We identified an optimal incubation time and concentration of digitonin (DIG) for cell permeabilization and found that single-cell trimodal omics measurements after DIG permeabilization were generally better than after an alternative “low-loss lysis” (LLL) permeabilization condition. Next, we found that DOGMA-seq with optimized DIG permeabilization and its ATAC library provides more information, even though its mRNA and cell surface protein antibody-derived tag (ADT) libraries have slightly inferior quality, compared to CITE-seq. Finally, we recognized the additional value of DOGMA-seq for studying lineage-specific T helper cells.
Project description:The effects of demycarosyl-3D-β-D-digitoxosyl-mithramycin SK (DIG-MSK; EC-8042), a novel analogue of the antitumor antibiotic mithramycin A, on gene transcription were examined in human A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells. DIG-MSK down-regulated a different set of genes depending on the drug concentration. Moreover, several genes were significantly up-regulated. These results are rationalized in terms of DIG-MSK competition with Sp1 transcription factor for binding to consensus C/G-rich tracts encompassed in gene promoters.
Project description:The effects of demycarosyl-3D-M-NM-2-D-digitoxosyl-mithramycin SK (DIG-MSK; EC-8042), a novel analogue of the antitumor antibiotic mithramycin A, on gene transcription were examined in human A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells. DIG-MSK down-regulated a different set of genes depending on the drug concentration. Moreover, several genes were significantly up-regulated. These results are rationalized in terms of DIG-MSK competition with Sp1 transcription factor for binding to consensus C/G-rich tracts encompassed in gene promoters. Human A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells were treated with either 8 nM or 80 nM DIG-MSK for 24 h, and RNA was extracted from treated cells as well as from untreated (control) cells.
Project description:In this study, the aim was to elucidate the mechanism of ischemic stroke in rats using a novel integrated transcriptomic. Transcriptomic data were obtained by Illumina-based RNA-seq technology. Then, transcriptomics was applied to dig out the reversed differentially expressed targets against IS induced by YYTN.This provides a way to further investigate the molecular mechanism of Yangyin Tongnao granules against cerebral ischemic injury.
