HeLa cells lacking MORC2 generated through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene disruption were reconstituted with either wild-type or R252W mutant MORC2, and re-repression of HUSH target genes assessed by RNA-seq Overall design: Total RNA-seq of MORC2 knockout cells, either 1) mock transduced, 2) transduced with lentiviral vector encoding wild-type MORC2 or 3) transduced with lentviral vector encoding R252W MORC2.

View SamplesBy comparing HeLa cells lacking ATF7IP or SETDB1 generated through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene disruption to wild-type HeLa cells, the goal of the experiment was to determine the effect of loss of the SETDB1•ATF7IP complex on the transcriptome. Overall design: Total RNA-seq of three independent knockout HeLa clones lacking either ATF7IP or SETDB1

View SamplesWe used RNA sequencing to characterize gene expression of CD4+ CD8a+ double positive (DP), Foxp3+ Treg (TR) and CD4+ single positive (SP) cells in the lamina propria (LP) and intraepithelial compartment (IEL) that had differentiante from the same clonal transnuclear (TN) precursor. Overall design: We adoptively transferred CD4+ CD8a- Foxp3-GFP- isolated from pTregTN/RKO/Foxp3-GFP mice into TCRaßKO hosts. After 6 weeks, we sorted transferred CD4+ CD8a+, Foxp3+ pTreg as well as unconverted CD4+ CD8a- Foxp3-GFP- from the small intestine LP and IEL compartments for whole transcriptome analysis by mRNA sequencing.

View SamplesA number of autoimmunity-associated MHC class II proteins interact only weakly with the invariant chain-derived class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP). CLIP dissociates rapidly from I-Ag7 even in the absence of DM, and this property is related to the type 1 diabetes-associated b57 polymorphism. We generated knock-in Non-obese Diabetic (NOD) mice with a single amino acid change in the CLIP segment of invariant chain in order to moderately slow CLIP dissociation from I-Ag7. These knock-in mice had a significantly reduced incidence of spontaneous type 1 diabetes and diminished islet infiltration by CD4 T cells, in particular T cells specific for fusion peptides generated by covalent linkage of proteolytic fragments within b cell secretory granules. Rapid CLIP dissociation enhanced presentation of such extracellular peptides, thus bypassing the conventional MHC class II antigen processing pathway. Autoimmunity-associated MHC class II polymorphisms therefore not only modify binding of self-peptides, but also alter the biochemistry of peptide acquisition. Overall design: Mouse pancreatic tissue was digested by collagenase, and islets were isolated and dissociated into single cells. Beta-cell-specific CD4 T cells were single-cell sorted by FACS based on tetramer labeling, and individual cells were profiled with a modified full length SMART-Seq2 protocol.
Rapid CLIP dissociation from MHC II promotes an unusual antigen presentation pathway in autoimmunity.

View SamplesAnalysis of gene expression profiles in Induced T-to-Natural Killer (ITNK), compared to DN3 parental T cells and IL-2-expanded NK cells (LAK). The hypothesis tested in the present study was that gene expression profiles of ITNK that were derived from DN3 T cells after deletion of Bcl11b were more similar to LAK, rather than DN3 T cells. Results provide important information of the ITNKs, such as canditate genes regulated by Bcl11b, up-regulated important genes expressed in NK cells, and down-regulated T cell genes.

View SamplesWe developed a mouse line targeting midbrain dopamine neurons for Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP). Here, we briefly report on the basic characterization of this mouse line including confirmation of expression of the transgene in midbrain dopamine neurons and validation of its effectiveness in capturing mRNA from these cells. We also report a translational profile of these neurons which may be of use to investigators studying the gene expression of these cells. Finally, we have donated the line to Jackson Laboratories for distribution and use in future studies.

View SamplesBP and ER encode proteins that act synergistically to regulate Arabidopsis inflorescence architecture. To search for genes/proteins that influence the BP/ER signaling pathways, we conducted mutagenesis of the bp er double mutant and found that a mutation in FILAMENTOUS FLOWER (FIL) suppresses many of the morphological/developmental defects in bp er. Given that FIL encodes a Zn-finger containing transcription factor, microarray analysis was conducted on bp er vs. the bp er fil line to identify genes that are misregulated and which might implicate specific genes/proteins/pathways that are involved in regulating inflorescence development.

View SamplesThree cell types, intermediolateral column motoneurons, medial motoneurons, and lateral motoneurons were isolated from a single adult spinal cord using laser capture microscopy. Four hundred captures were collected for each cell type. For a given cell type, RNA was extracted from the 400 captures using an Arcturus picopure kit. RNA was split in half and two targets were produced using a double amplification protocol. Each target was hybridized to Affymetrix chips and signals were normalized with R-pack. Inverse logs are provided. Five animals were used in these experiments, and all three cell types were collected from each animal. Thus, for each cell type, there are five biological replicates, and for each biological replicate there are two technical replicates. In all thirty chips were analyzed. Techinical replicates are indicated as Set 1 and Set 2. Animal numbers are indicated by Pair1 through Pair 5.
