View Samples7d-old WT ler seedlings were submitted to 12h of non-stress (air) or hypoxia-stress treatment under low light conditions (45 uM m-2 s-2), and Total and Large Polysome RNA from both treatments were extracted and hybridized against Affymetrix genome chips. Values were used to evaluate changes in transcript abundance and transcript association with large polysomal complexes.

View SamplesUpon pathogenic infection, drosophila larval host mounts an immune response. Parasitic wasps inject venom that contain virulence factors during oviposition, which can elicit host immune response, and in some cases, suppress host immune responses altogether. Several microarray experiments have been performed on different classes of parasitic wasps. We wanted to compare how Ganaspis xanthopoda-infected hosts respond compared to other classes of parasitic wasps.

View SamplesThe accumulation of intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) is recognized as an important determinant of insulin resistance, and is increased by a high-fat diet (HFD). However, the effects of HFD on IMCL and insulin sensitivity are highly variable.
Increased intramyocellular lipid/impaired insulin sensitivity is associated with altered lipid metabolic genes in muscle of high responders to a high-fat diet.

View SamplesCellular diversity of the brain is largely attributed to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of progenitor cells. In mammalian cerebral development, it has been difficult to determine how neural progenitor cells are heterogeneous, due to their dynamic changes in nuclear position and gene expression. To address this issue, we systematically analyzed the cDNA profiles of a large number of single progenitor cells at the mid-embryonic stage.

View SamplesDuring cerebral development, a variety of neurons are sequentially generated by self-renewing progenitor cells, apical progenitors (APs). A temporal change in AP identity is thought to produce a diversity of progeny neurons, while underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we performed single cell genome-wide transcriptome profiling of APs at different neurogenic stages, and identified a set of genes that are temporally expressed in APs in a manner independent of differentiation state. Surprisingly, the temporal pattern of such AP gene expression was not affected by arresting cell cycling. Consistently, a transient cell cycle arrest of APs in vivo did not prevent descendant neurons to acquire their correct laminar fates. in vitro cell culture of APs revealed that transitions in AP gene expression involved in both cell-autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms. These results suggest that timers controlling AP temporal identity run independently of cell cycle progression and Notch activation mode.

View SamplesAnalysis of gene expression by astrocytes or non-astrocyte cells in spinal cord injury (SCI) lesions may lead to the identification of molecules that impact on axon regrowth. We conducted genome-wide RNA sequencing of (i) immunoprecipitated astrocyte-specific ribosome-associated RNA (ramRNA) from WT or STAT3-CKO astrocytes, and (ii) the non-precipitated (flow-through) RNA deriving from non-astrocyte cells in the same tissue samples 14 days following SCI. DOI: 10.1038/nature17623 Overall design: Young adult female mGFAP-Cre-RiboTag or mGFAP-Cre-RiboTag-STAT3-LoxP mice underwent severe crush SCI at thoracic level 10. 14 days following SCI, the central 3mm of the SCI lesion was extracted, homogenized and (i) astrocyte-specific ribosome-associated RNA (ramRNA) precipitated via a hemagglutinin (HA) tag targeted to either WT (n=4) or STAT3-CKO (n=3) astrocytes, and (ii) the non-precipitated (flow-through) RNA deriving from non-astrocyte cells in the same tissue samples. Sex and age-matched mGFAP-Cre-RiboTag mice served as uninjured controls (n=4).

View SamplesProtoplasmic astrocytes in layers II to VI of the mammalian neocortex have historically been thought to comprise a homogeneous population. Given that layer-specific neuronal subtypes play essential roles in cortical circuitry, astrocytes might also be expected to support and modify this circuitry in a layer-specific manner. In order to investigate whether protoplasmic astrocytes exhibit layer-specific heterogeneity, we compared the gene expression profiles of astrocytes between upper layers (layers II to IV) and deep layers (layers V and VI). Although most genes known to be preferentially expressed in astrocytes (astrocyte-enriched genes) were equally expressed between upper-layer astrocytes and deep-layer astrocytes, some such genes (astrocyte-enriched genes or genes with known function in astrocytes) were significantly enriched in upper-layer astrocytes or deep-layer astrocytes. Overall design: With the use of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), we prepared upper-layer astrocytes and deep-layer astrocytes from the corresponding dissected layers of the somatosensory cortex of Aldh1l1-eGFP mice, in which all astrocytes are expected to be labeled with GFP. The meninges, layer I, and the corpus callosum were removed from upper- and deep-layer tissue samples. In addition, parts of layers IV and V were lost during separation of these layers in such a way as to prevent cross-contamination between the upper- and deep-layer samples. Total RNA from upper-layer astrocytes and deep-layer astrocytes (n = 3 brains from 4-week-old male mice) was isolated from sorted cells with TRIzol (Invitrogen) or RNAiso Plus (Takara) and was then subjected to reverse transcription with the use of a SMART-Seq v4 Ultra Low Input RNA Kit for Sequencing (Clontech). Bar-coded libraries were prepared with a Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina), and single-end 36-bp sequencing was performed with a HiSeq 2500 instrument (Illumina).
