We performed Fluidigm C1 single cell sequencing analysis of wild-type and microRNA deficient (Dgcr8 knockout) mouse embryonic stem cells mock treated or transfected with either miR-294 or let-7. Overall design: Wild-type and Dgcr8 knockout cells grown in naïve culture conditions were mock transfected or transfected with miRNA mimics for let-7b or miR-294, single cells were captured on Fluidigm C1 24 hours post-transfection and then prepared for sequencing on Illumina HiSeq1000 following manufacturer''s protocol.

View SamplesHuman lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-immortalised B cells, LcL) obtained from subjects of different age (young 28-40 years, centenarians >95 years) were analysed for gene expression at basal culture conditions and after 48 hours of serum starvation. Lymphoid B cells from centenarians were more resistant to apoptosis induction and displayed a more developed lysosomal compartment, the most critical component of phagic machinery. In addition, cells from centenarians were capable of engulfing and digesting other cells, i.e. their siblings (even entire cells). This behavior was improved by nutrient deprivation, but strikingly, it was unaffected by the autophagy-modulating drugs rapamycin, an autophagy inducer, and 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor.

View SamplesHaematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into all blood cell types. In this process, cells become progressively restricted to a single cell type. The order in which differentiating cells loose lineage potential, and the prospective isolation of cells with a defined potential remains a long-standing question. We performed gene expression analysis of haematopoietic cells from Gata1-EGFP reporter mice, leading to a model for hematopoiesis where the initial lineage decision consists of a seperation of erythroid/megakaryocyte/mast cell/eosinophil potential from lymphopoietic/monocyte/neutrophil potential Overall design: Find unbiased heterogeneity in the preGM hematopoietic progenitor population

View SamplesThe epicardium, an epithelium covering the heart, is essential for cardiac development. During embryogenesis, the epicardium provides instructive signals for the growth and maturation of cardiomyocytes and for coronary angiogenesis. We generated an in vitro model of human embryonic epicardium derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-epi). These cells were able to differentiate into cardiac fibroblasts (cf) and smooth muscle cells (smc) in vitro (hPSC-epi-cf and hPSC-epi-smc respectively). Furthermore, we showed that they improved maturation of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-cardio) in vitro while neural crest cells derived from hPSC (hPSC-NC) could not. Furthermore, they improved survival of hPSC-cardio and stimulated angiogenesis when injected in a rat model of myocardium infarction. We performed mRNA sequencing of the hPSC-epi, hPSC-epi-cf, hPSC-smc and hPSC-NC in order to identify the secreted molecules specifically produced by the hPSC-epi and/or its derivatives in comparison with the hPSC-NC. Vascular smooth muscle cells have different embryonic origins and different properties depending on their location in the body. The coronary smooth muscle cells come from the epicardium while the aortic ones come from the mesoderm or the neural crest. We performed mRNA sequencing of human coronary artery smc and human aortic smc to identify a specific signature of the coronary smc. We also compared the genes expressed in the hPSC-epi-smc and the smc derived from hPSC-derived lateral plate mesoderm. Overall design: For hPSC-derived samples the three replicates are coming from three different in vitro differentiations from H9. For the human primary cells, the triplicates are technical replicates (three different wells from the same culture at the same passage)
