View SamplesPurpose: to identify differentially regulated pathways and processes in the livers of neonatal Mdr+/- compared to Mdr+/+ mice and correlate these transcriptomics with hepatic lipdomics data Methods: Mdr2+/- mice were mated. There offspring with +/+, +/-, and -/- mdr2 genotypes were kept as litter mates until harvest of livers at 10 days of life. Lobe 1 and 2 were dissected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent RNA isolation and lipid extraction, respectively. RNA-seq libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq RNA prep kits and sequenced on the Illumina Hi-Seq 2000. Results: Approximately 20 million reads were mapped to the mm10 mouse genome build using attotations produced by the Ensembl project, which corresponded to 36,400 transcripts. Of these, over 600 transcripts exhibited differential regulation between Mdr+/+ and Mdr+/- samples. Conclusions: Our study supports a pro-inflammatory microenvironment in neonatal, non-infected mdr2+/- compared with wild type mice. Overall design: Hepatic mRNA profiles of Mdr2+/+ and +/- neonatal, BALB/C mice were generated through RNAsequencing.

View SamplesNatural grape-juice fermentations involve the sequential development of different yeast species which strongly influence the chemical and sensorial traits of the final product. In the present study,we aimed to examine the transcriptomic response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the presence of Hanseniaspora guilliermondii wine fermentation.

View SamplesPlants aquire nitrogen from the soil, most commonly in the form of either nitrate or ammonium. Unlike ammonium, nitrate must be reduced (with NADH and ferredoxin as electron donors) prior to assimilation. Thus, nitrate nutrition imposes a substantially greater energetic cost than ammonium nutrition. Our goal was to compare the transcriptomes of nitrate-supplied and ammonium-supplied plants, with a particular interest in characterizing the differences in redox metabolism elicited by different forms of inorganic nitrogen.
Distinct signalling pathways and transcriptome response signatures differentiate ammonium- and nitrate-supplied plants.

View SamplesCell-based therapies for myelin disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophies, require technologies to generate functional oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. Here we describe direct conversion of mouse embryonic and lung fibroblasts to induced oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (iOPCs) using sets of either eight or three defined transcription factors. iOPCs exhibit a bipolar morphologyical and global gene expression profile molecular features consistent with bona fide OPCs. They can be expanded in vitro for at least five passages while retaining the ability to differentiate into induced multiprocessed oligodendrocytes. When transplanted to hypomyelinated mice, iOPCs are capable of ensheathing host axons and generating compact myelinmyelinating axons both in vitro and in vivo. Lineage conversion of somatic cells to expandable iOPCs provides a strategy to study the molecular control of oligodendrocyte lineage identity and may facilitate neurological disease modeling and autologous remyelinating therapies.

View SamplesOligodendrocyte dysfunction underlies many neurological disorders but rapid assessment of mutation-specific effects in these cells has been impractical. To enable functional genetics in oligodendrocytes, here we report a highly efficient method for generating oligodendrocytes and their progenitors from mouse embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, independent of mouse strain or mutational status. We demonstrate that this approach, when combined with genome engineering, provides a powerful platform for the expeditious study of genotype-phenotype relationships in oligodendrocytes. Overall design: Cells were lysed directly in 1 ml of TRIzol (Thermo Fisher) and stored at -80°C. Once all samples were collected, samples were thawed on ice and RNA was separated with chloroform using Phase Lock Gel tubes (5prime). RNA was isolated using the miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacture's protocol. One microgram of each sample was then subject to ribosome depletion, fragmented, and library prepared using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Kit with Ribo Zero Gold (Illumina) according to the manufacturer's protocol and indexed using TruSeq adapters. One hundred base pair paired-end reads were generated for each sample on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Case Western Reserve University Sequencing Core; Cleveland, OH). Samples include mESC derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) from four different wildtype mouse strains at 0 hr, 24, hr, 48 hr, and 72 hr after treatment with thyroid hormone T3 (n = 4 biological replicates per time point). Two additional samples include mutant OPCs (shiverer and MYRF knockout ''delMYRF'') at 72 hr time point.
