Gastric cancers with mismatch repair (MMR) inactivation are characterised by microsatellite instability (MSI). In this study, the transcriptional profile of 38 gastric cancers with and without MSI was analysed.

View SamplesHost-environment interfaces such as the dermis comprise tissue macrophages as the most abundant resident immune cell type. Diverse tasks, i.e. to resist against invading pathogens, to attract bypassing immune cells from penetrating vessels and to aid tissue development and repair require a dynamic postnatal coordination of tissue macrophages specification. Here, we delineated the postnatal development of dermal macrophages and their differentiation into distinct subsets by adapting single cell transcriptomics, fate-mapping and tissue imaging. We thereby identified a small phenotypically and transcriptionally distinct subset of embryo-derived skin macrophages that was maintained and largely excluded from the overall postnatal exchange by monocytes. These macrophages specifically interacted with dermal sensory nerves, surveilled and trimmed the myelin sheets and regulated axon sprouting after mechanical injury. In summary, our data show long-lasting functional specification of macrophages in the dermis that is driven by step-wise adaptation to guiding structures and ensures codevelopment of ontogenetically distinct cells within the same compartment. Overall design: Single Cell Sequencing was performed on CD45+CD11b+CD64+Lin-(lineage B220, CD3, NK1.1, Siglec-F, Ly6G) CX3CR1 (low, mid, high) macrophage subsets from mouse dermis after enzymatic digestion

View SamplesAlthough excessive exposure to UV is widely recognized as a major factor leading to skin perturbations and cancer, the complex mechanisms underlying inflammatory skin disorders resulting from UV exposure remain incompletely characterized. The nuclear hormone receptor PPAR/ is known to control cutaneous repair and UV-induced cancer development. Here, we describe a novel PPAR/-dependent molecular cascade involving TGF-1 and miR-21-3p, which is activated in the epidermis in response to UV exposure. We establish that the passenger miRNA miR-21-3p, that we identify as a novel UV-induced miRNA in the epidermis, plays a pro-inflammatory function in keratinocytes, and that its high level of expression in human skin is associated with psoriasis and squamous cell carcinomas. Finally, we provide evidence that inhibition of miR-21-3p reduces UV-induced cutaneous inflammation in ex vivo human skin biopsies, thereby underlining the clinical relevance of miRNA-based topical therapies for cutaneous disorders.

View SamplesHigh resolution transcriptional profiling of H1-derived human neuronal precursor cells over a timecourse of differentiation in vitro. Overall design: Human NPC differentiation timecourse covers Days 0,1,2,4,5,11, and 18 after induction of neuronal differentiation as described in manuscript. Each time point was assayed in triplicate cultures with the exception of Day 5, in which one outlier culture has been removed.
