Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
To model human cerebellar disease, we developed a novel, reproducible method to generate cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) that formed synapses when cultured with mouse granule cells and fired large calcium currents, measured with the genetically encoded calcium indicator jRGECO1a. Using translating ribosomal affinity purification (TRAP) to compare gene expression of differentiating hPSC-PCs to developing mouse PCs, we found hPSC-PCs to be most similar to late juvenile (P21) mouse PCs. Analysis of mouse PCs defined novel developmental expression patterns for mitochondria and autophagy associated genes, recapitulated in hPSC-PCs. We further identified species differences in gene expression and confirmed protein expression of CD40LG in native human, but not mouse PCs. This study provides a robust method for generating relatively mature hPSC-PCs with human specific gene expression and defines novel genetic features in comparison to the first comprehensive analysis of global gene expression patterns of postnatal mouse PC development.

Description
Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is still one of the major complications following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) triggered by alloreactive donor T cells. Whereas murine data have clearly shown the beneficial effects of regulatory T cells (Tregs) on the development of GvHD, data from the human system are rare mainly due to low cell numbers of circulating or organ-infiltrating Tregs in lymphopenic patients. Here, we present a comparative analysis of Tregs from patients with and without acute/ chronic GvHD designed as a dynamical approach studying the whole genome profile over the first 6 months after SCT. For this purpose, blood samples were collected monthly for FACS-based isolation of CD4+CD25highCD127low/- Tregs. The Treg transcriptome showed a high stability in the first half year representing the most sensitive time window for tolerance induction. However, the comparison of the Treg transcriptome from patients with and without GvHD uncovered regulated gene transcripts that point to a reduced suppressive function of Tregs with diminished migration capacity to the target organs likely contributing to the development of GvHD. These findings highlight the critical role of human Tregs in the pathophysiology of GvHD and identify novel targets for the manipulation of Tregs to optimize cellular immune intervention strategies.

IlluminaHiSeq2000
Description
Coilin iCLIP data revealed 42 novel human snoRNAs of intronic origin. To validate their expression and estimate abundance of novel and annotated snoRNAs, we performed RNA-seq on polyA- and rRNA-depleted RNA isolated from HeLa cells. Results show that expression of novel snoRNAs is comparable to the previously annotated snoRNAs. Overall design: 1 replicate of RNA depleted of polyA and ribosomal RNA.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Dendritic cells (DCs) process and present self and foreign antigens to induce tolerance or immunity. In vitro models suggest that induction of immunity is controlled by regulating the presentation of antigen, but little is known about how DCs control antigen presentation in vivo. To examine antigen processing and presentation in vivo we specifically targeted antigens to the two major subsets of DCs using chimeric monoclonal antibodies. Unlike CD8+ DCs that express the cell surface protein CD205, CD8- DCs, which are positive for the 33D1 antigen, are specialized for presentation on MHC class II. This difference in antigen processing is intrinsic to the DC subsets and associated with increased expression of proteins associated with MHC processing.

Description
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) cells run a self-renewal gene expression program, requiring the expression of certain transcription factors accompanied by a particular chromosome organization to maintain a balance between pluripotency and the capacity for rapid differentiation. However, how transcriptional regulation is linked to chromosome organization in ESCs remains enigmatic. Here we show that Cohesin exhibits a functional role in maintaining ESC identity through association with the pluripotency transcriptional network. ChIP-seq analyses of the cohesin subunit Rad21 reveal an ESC specific cohesin binding pattern that is characterized by a CTCF independent colocalization of cohesin with pluripotency related transcription factors. Upon ESC differentiation, these binding sites disappear and instead new CTCF independent Rad21 binding sites emerge, which are enriched for binding sites of transcription factors implicated in early differentiation. Furthermore, knock-down of cohesin subunits causes expression changes that are reminiscent of the depletion of key pluripotency transcription factors, demonstrating the functional relevance of the cohesin - pluripotency transcriptional network association. Finally, we show that Nanog physically interacts with the cohesin interacting proteins Stag1 and Wapl, further substantiating this association. Based on these findings we propose that a dynamic placement of cohesin by pluripotency transcription factors contributes to a chromosome organization supporting the ESC expression program.

Description
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological pathways. Unlike protein coding genes, where methods to comprehensibly study their functional roles in cellular systems are available, techniques to systematically investigate lncRNAs have largely remained unexplored. Here, we report a technology for combined Knockdown and Localization Analysis of Non-coding RNAs (c-KLAN) that merges phenotypic characterization and localization approaches to study lncRNAs. Using a library of endoribonuclease prepared short interfering RNAs (esiRNAs) coupled with a pipeline for synthesizing labeled riboprobes for RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we demonstrate the utility of c-KLAN by identifying a novel transcript Panct1 (Pluripotency associated non-coding transcript 1) that regulates embryonic stem cell identity. We postulate that c-KLAN should be generally useful in the discovery of lncRNAs implicated in various biological processes.

Description
We combine a genome-scale RNAi screen in mouse epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) with genetic interaction, protein localization and “protein-level dependency” studies – a systematic technique that uncovers post-transcriptional regulation – to delineate the network of factors that control the expression of Oct4, a key regulator of pluripotency. Our data signify that there are similarities, but also fundamental differences in Oct4 regulation in EpiSCs vs. embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Through multiparametric data analyses we predict that Tox4 is associating with the Paf1C complex, which maintains cell identity in both cell types and validate that this protein-protein interaction exists in ESCs and EpiSCs. We also identify numerous knockdowns that increase Oct4 expression in EpiSCs, indicating that, in stark contrast to ESCs, Oct4 is under active repressive control in EpiSCs. These studies provide a framework for better understanding pluripotency and for dissecting the molecular events that govern the transition from the pre-implantation to the post-implantation state. Overall design: RNA-seq of Tox4 knockdown in mouse EpiSCs
