Description
wt1a:GFP labels a population of subepicardial cells in the uninjured ventricle. Here we compare the expression profile of wt1a:GFP-positive cells to the rest of the cells of the ventricle. Overall design: Four paired biological replicates of wt1a:GFP-positive and wt1a:GFP-negative cells obtained from pools of 3-5 zebrafish heart ventricles.

Description
Contrary to mammals, zebrafish regenerate their heart upon cryoinjury of the cardiac ventricular apex. Regeneration is preceed by a fibrotic response. To understand the contribution of different cell sources to zebrafish cardiac fibrosis we performed an RNASeq including endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells from an uninjured heart, and activated endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells, postnb:citrine fibroblasts and the rest of the cells at 7 days post injury. Overall design: Three to six biological replicates consisting of different cell types obtained from the ventricular apex.

Description
Contrary to mammals, zebrafish regenerate their heart upon cryoinjury of the ventricular apex. Regeneration is preceeded by a transient fibrotic response. Here we compare the expression profile of fibroblast-like cells at 7 different time points of fibrosis resolution. Using a postnb:CreERT2; ubb:loxP-GFP-loxP-mCherrycz1701 double transgenic line, we permanently label cells that expressed postnb at 3 and 4 days post injury (dpi) with mCherry by administration of 4-OHT. We sequenced mCherry-labelled cells obtained from the ventricular apex at 7 and 60 dpi. Overall design: postnb-derived cells were FAC sorted from a pool of three to five biological samples. Four pools were collected at 7 dpi and three at 60 dpi. RNA was extracted from those pools and further processed for transcriptome analysis.

Description
In vertebrates, the heart has two main layers of cardiac muscle, a peripheral compact layer and an internal trabecular layer. Little is known on the differerences in gene expression between both layers. In zebrafish the outer layer is named cortical layer and the internal also trabecular layer. Here we used a double transgenic line labelling with GFP tbx5-positive cells and cardiomyoctes with nuclear DsRed (nucDsRed) to distinguish cortical from trabecular myocardium. Then, we compared the transcriptome of trabecular and cortical myocardium in the adult zebrafish. We describe that Tbx5a is a good marker of trabecular myocardium. Overall design: Four paired biological replicates consisting on Tbx5-positive and Tbx5-negative adult zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocytes were analysed by RNA-seq to compare their transcriptomic profiles.

Description
Unlike human hearts, zebrafish hearts efficiently regenerate after injury. Regeneration is driven by the strong proliferation response of its cardiomyocytes to injury. In this study, we show that active telomerase is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation and full organ recovery, supporting the potential of telomerase therapy as a means of stimulating cell proliferation upon myocardial infarction. Overall design: Heart transcriptomes of WT and telomerase defective adult zebrafish animals were profiled by RNASeq, in control conditions and 3 days after heart cryoinjury.

Zebrafish Gene 1.0 ST Array (zebgene10st)
Description
The zebrafish has the capacity to regenerate its heart after severe injury. While the function of a few genes during this process has been studied, we are far from fully understanding how genes interact to coordinate heart regeneration. To enable systematic insights into this phenomenon, we generated and integrated a dynamic co-expression network of heart regeneration in the zebrafish and linked systems-level properties to the underlying molecular events. Across multiple post-injury time points, the network displays topological attributes of biological relevance. We show that regeneration steps are mediated by modules of transcriptionally coordinated genes, and by genes acting as network hubs. We also established direct associations between hubs and validated drivers of heart regeneration with murine and human orthologs. The resulting models and interactive analysis tools are available at http://infused.vital-it.ch. Using a worked example, we demonstrate the usefulness of this unique open resource for hypothesis generation and in silico screening for genes involved in heart regeneration.

Description
Molecular mechanisms associated with pathophysiological variations in adipose tissue (AT) are not fully recognized. The main aim of this study was to identify novel candidate genes and miRNAs that may contribute to the pathophysiology of hyperplastic AT. Therefore, wide gene and microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns were assessed in subcutaneous AT of 16 morbidly obese women before and after surgery-induced weight loss. Validation of microarray data was performed by quantitative real-time PCR both longitudinally (n=25 paired samples) and cross-sectionally (25 obese vs. 26 age-matched lean women). Analyses in macrophages and differentiated human adipocytes were also performed to try to comprehend the associations found in AT. 5,018 different probe sets identified significant variations in gene expression after treatment (adjusted p-value<0.05). A set of 16 miRNAs also showed significant modifications. Functional analysis revealed changes in genes and miRNAs associated with cell cycle, development and proliferation, lipid metabolism, and the inflammatory response. Canonical affected pathways included TREM1, PI3K, and EIF2 signaling, hepatic stellate cell activation, and mitochondrial function. Increased expression of SLC27A2, ELOVL6, FASN, GYS2, LGALS12, PKP2, ACLY, and miR-575, as well as decreased FOS, EGFL6, PRG4, AQP9, DUSP1, RGS1, EGR1, SPP1, LYZ, miR-130b, miR-221, and miR-155, were further validated. The clustering of similar expression patterns for gene products with related functions revealed molecular footprints, some of them described for the first time, which elucidate changes in biological processes after the surgery-induced weight loss.

Description
Non-switched memory (ME-M) B cells are an enigmatic population of IgM+ memory lymphocytes that are thought to emerge from germinal centers during systemic antibody responses against T cell-dependent antigens. To gain new insights into the properties of ME-M B cells generated during intestinal antibody responses, we performed global gene transcriptome expression analysis on nave, ME-M and canonical memory class-switched (ME-SW) B cells purified from human gut samples. Marginal zone (MZ) and ME-SW B cells isolated from human spleen samples were used for comparison.
