ISCOM vaccines induce a balanced Th1/Th2 response and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The adjuvant component, ISCOM-Matrix, consists of purified saponin fractions, cholesterol and phospholipids. The mode of action for the ISCOM-Matrix is known to some extent but still we lack knowledge of important segments in initiation of the immune response. The study was performed to analyze the early transcriptional responses to the ISCOM-Matrix alone, without the use of co-administered antigen. Matrix M (AbISCO 100) was given as intramuscular injection and after 24 hours the pigs was sacrificed for gene expression analysis, performed for the injection site and the draining lymph node.

View SamplesThis study was conducted to determine heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in mammary tumors, by unsupervised analysis of single cell transcriptomes. Overall design: 768 single EpCAM-, CD45-, CD31- NG2- fibroblasts were isolated from mammary tumors of two 14 week old MMTV-PyMT mice. The cells were sequenced following the Smart-Seq2 protocol (Picelli et al. Nature Methods 2013).

View SamplesThis study takes on the problem of bridging transcriptional data to neuronal phenotype and function by using publicly available datasets characterizing distinct neuronal populations based on gene expression, electrophysiology and morphology. In addition, a non-published PatchSeq dataset of Pvalb-cre positive cells in CA1 was used, which is the dataset submitted here. Taken together, these datasets were used to identify cross-cell type correlations between these data modalities. Detected correlations were classified as “class-driven” if they could be explained by differences between excitatory and inhibitory cell classes, or “non-class driven” if they could be explained by gradient like phenotypic differences within cell classes. Some genes whose relationships to electrophysiological or morphological properties were found to to be specific to either excitatory or inhibitory cell types. The Patch Seq data specifically allowed simultaneous single-cell characterization of gene expression and electrophysiology, showing that the gene-property correlations observed across cell types were further predictive of within-cell type heterogeneity. Overall design: Patchseq data was collected from single cells of the mouse hippocampus CA1 in order to investigate correlations between gene expression patterns and electrophysiological properties of various interneuron cell classes 19 individual cells Re-analysis details included in supplementary file readme.txt.

View SamplesPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a markedly increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors fail to account for this increased risk. We used microarray to probe the platelet transcriptome in individuals with SLE and healthy controls, and the gene and protein expression of a subset of differentially expressed genes was further investigated and correlated to platelet activation status. Real-time PCR was used to confirm a type I interferon (IFN) gene signature in patients with SLE, and the IFN-regulated proteins PRKRA, IFITM1 and CD69 (p<0.0001) were found to be up-regulated in platelets from SLE patients as compared to healthy volunteers. Notably, patients with a history of vascular disease had increased expression of type I IFN-regulated proteins as well as more activated platelets as compared with patients without vascular disease. We suggest that interferogenic immune complexes stimulate production of IFN which up-regulates the megakaryocytic type I IFN-regulated genes and proteins. This could affect platelet activation and contribute to development of vascular disease in SLE. In addition, platelets with type I IFN signature could be a novel marker for vascular disease in SLE.
