Description
CML stem cells (CMLSCs) and normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) display the same set of surface markers (CD34+CD38-CD90+CD45RA-), making it infeasible to separate these two populations within the same sample. To overcome this challenge, and to minimize variations in gene expression due to individual variation, here we perform single-cell RNA-seq to compare expression profiles of CMLSCs and HSCs isolated from the same patient. We captured ~600 HSCs (CD34+CD38-CD90+CD45RA-) (~200 from each of three CML patient samples), separated them into CMLSCs (BCR-ABL+) or normal HSCs (BCR-ABL-) based on the presence of the BCR-ABL transcript, and performed paired-end deep sequencing. Typically, we obtained ~2.5 million mapped reads (>70% average mapping efficiency) and detected ~5,000 genes (transcript per million [TPM]>1) per cell. Despite the heterogeneity of the gene expression pattern, we were able to identify genes that were significantly more highly expressed in CMLSCs than in normal HSCs. Notably, among these genes are two cell surface markers, CD33 and CD47, that could potentially be used to distinguish CMLSCs from normal HSCs. We also found genes, such as PIM2, that could be targeted for CML therapy using available small molecule inhibitors. Overall design: Hematopoietic stem cell population from three chronic phase CML patients with no detectable BCR-ABL mutation.

Description
To try to identify the mechanism of STAT3s indirect action we have used a genomic approach to map the binding sites of STAT3 within the genome and also used RNA-seq technology to map the changes in RNA expression and transcript isoform abundance in response to IL-10. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome changes in peritoneal macrophages when treated with IL-10 for 4 hours. RNA was extracted and sequenced.

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Using BCR-ABL-induced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as a disease model for leukemia stem cells (LSCs), we showed that BCR-ABL down-regulates the B lymphoid kinase (Blk) gene in leukemia stem cells in CML mice and that Blk functions as a tumor suppressor in LSCs and suppresses LSC function. Inhibition of this Blk pathway accelerates CML development, whereas increased activity of the Blk pathway delays CML development. To identify the pathways in which Blk regulates function of LSCs, we performed a comparative DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from non-BCR-ABL-expressing Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+, BCR-ABL- and BCR-ABL-Blk expressing LSCs. This analysis revealed a large group of candidate genes that exhibited changes in the levels of transcription in the Blk expressing LSCs, and uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which Blk suppresses LSCs and CML development.

Description
Mammary organoids harvested from ErbB3 DOX-KO mice, which utilize MMTV-Cre transgene expression in the LE to cause genomic recombination at floxed ErbB3 alleles in ErbB3FL/FL were cultured in the presence or absence of doxycycline to induce ErbB3 loss. The gene expression shift following DOX-induced ErbB3 loss in the 3D organoids was examined by microarray.

Description
We have demonstrated that the oncogenic activation of B-RAF (using a truncated delta-BRAF-ER version inducible with tamoxifen) in the melan-a melanocyte cell line triggers the activation of Zeb1 and Twist1 at the expanse of Zeb2 and Snail2. Enforced maintenance of Zeb2 or Snail2 expression reduces the B-RAF oncogenic potential while ectopic expression of Zeb1 or Twist1 cooperates with B-RAF in melan-a cell transformation. To get an insight into the properties of these embryonic transcription factors, gene expression profiles of melan-a-derived cell lines either expressing a non-activated B-RAF (- tamoxifen) or an activated BRAF (+ tamoxifen) alone or in combination with Snail2, Zeb2, Twist1 or Zeb1 have been established.

Description
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the gradual, asymptomatic loss of kidney function and current tests only identify it when significant loss has already happened. Using RNA sequencing in a mouse model of folic acid (FA) induced nephropathy, here we report the identification of 10 genes that track kidney fibrosis development, the common pathological finding in CKD patients. The gene expression of all 10 candidates was confirmed to be significantly high (~ 10-150 fold) in three well-established and mechanistically distinct mouse models of kidney fibrosis. Protein expression was also high in the FA model as well as patients with biopsy-proven kidney fibrosis. The specificity of these 10 candidates for kidney fibrosis was demonstrated by showing a very modest (~ 2-5 fold) increase in the mouse models of acute kidney injury as well as following liver fibrosis in mice and humans. Using targeted selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (SRM-MS) we found that 3 out of 10, cadherin 11 (CDH11), mannose receptor C1 (MRC1), phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), are detectable in human urine. Furthermore, the levels of CDH11 and MRC1 are able to distinguish patients with chronic kidney disease from healthy individuals (n = 78, p<0.01). In summary, we report the identification of CDH11 and MRC1 as novel non-invasive biomarkers of CKD. Overall design: mRNA sequencing of mouse kidney before and at various time points (1,2,3,7 & 14 days) after intraperitoneal treatment with folic acid.

Description
The respiratory system is a complex network of many cell types, including subsets of macrophages and dendritic cels, that work together to maintain steady-state respiration. Due to limitations in acquiring cells from healthy human lung, these subsets remain poorly characterized transcriptionally and phenotypically. We set out to systemically identify these subsets in human airways, by developing a schema of isolating large numbers of cells by whole lung bronchoalveolar lavage. Six subsets of phagocytic antigen presenting cells were consistently observed, which varied in their ability to internalize bacterial particles. Subsets could be further separated by their inherent capacities to upregulate CD83, CD86, and CCR7. Whole genome transcriptional profiling revealed a clade of true dendritic cells distinct from a macrophage/monocyte clade. Each clade, and each member of both clades, could be discerned by specific genes of increased expression, which would serve as markers for future studies in healthy and diseased states.
