Previous studies have reported that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) generate dorsal forebrain, cortical-like neurons under default differentiation in the absence of patterning morphogens. Novel bioinformatic analyses of whole transcriptome data allow us to examine these cells' regional specification more comprehensively. Furthermore, these tools allow us to ask how well hPSNs mimic their endogenous counterparts during various stages of in vivo human brain development.

View SamplesReverse genetics has been widely used to investigate function of viral genes. In the present study we investigated the gene expression profile of a primary ovine cell (OFTu) in response to infection with the wild type (OV-IA82) and deletion mutant virus (OV-IA82024) aiming to determine possible functions for ORFV024 during ORFV infection.

View SamplesWe present ScarTrace, a single-cell sequencing strategy that allows us to simultaneously quantify information on clonal history and cell type for thousands of single cells obtained from different organs from adult zebrafish. Using this approach we show that all blood cells types in the kidney marrow arise from a small set of multipotent embryonic. In contrast, we find that cells in the eyes, brain, and caudal tail fin arise from many embryonic progenitors, which are more restricted and produce specific cell types in the adult tissue. Next we use ScarTrace to explore when embryonic cells commit to forming either left or right organs using the eyes and brain as a model system. Lastly we monitor regeneration of the caudal tail fin and identify a subpopulation of resident macrophages that have a clonal origin that is distinct from other blood cell types. Overall design: Single cell sequencing data from cells isolated from zebrafish organs (whole kidney marrow, forebrain, hindbrain, left eye, right eye, left midbrain, right midbrain, and regenerated fin). For each cell, we provide libraries with transcritpome and with clonal information, respectively.

View SamplesWe report the total RNA-seq results after CDK9, CDK12 and CDK13 depletion in human HCT116 cells for three days. RNA-seq was performed in cells using two non-targeting replicates and two different shRNAs for each CDK knockdown. For each CDK knockdown, most of the differentially expressed genes were down-regulated with a very small subset of genes upregulated. Different CDK proteins control distinct subsets of genes in vivo, with CDK12 and CDK13 sharing more overlap in function compared to CDK9. Besides, CDK12 and CDK13 loss preferentially affects DNA damage response and snRNA gene expression, respectively. Overall design: Examine the changes of mRNA expression levels after CDK9, CDK12 and CDK13 depletion.

View SamplesThe regulation of necrotic death and its relevance in anti-cancer therapy are largely unknown. Here we have investigated the pro-apoptotic and pro-necrotic activities of two ubiquitin-proteasome system inhibitors (UPSIs): bortezomib and G5. The present study points out that the glioblastoma cell lines U87MG and T98G are useful models to study the susceptibility to apoptosis and necrosis in response to UPSIs. U87MG cells are resistant to apoptosis induced by bortezomib and G5 but susceptible to necrosis induced by G5. On the opposite T98G cells are susceptible to apoptosis induced by both inhibitors but show some resistance to G5-induced necrosis. By comparing the transcriptional profiles of the two cell lines, we have found that the resistance to G5-induced necrosis could arise from differences in glutathione synthesis/utilization and in the microenvironment. In particular collagen IV, which is highly expressed in T98G cells, and fibronectin, whose adhesive function is counteracted by tenascin-C in U87MG cells, can restrain the necrotic response to G5. Collectively, our results provide an initial characterization of the molecular signals governing cell death by necrosis in glioblastoma cell lines.
