Description
Pluripotent stem cells are being actively studied as a cell source for regenerating damaged liver. For long term survival of engrafting cells in the body, not only do the cells have to execute liverspecific function but also withstand the physical strains and invading pathogens. The cellular innate immune system orchestrated by the interferon (IFN) pathway provides the first line of defense against pathogens. The objective of this study is to assess the innate immune function as well as to systematically profile the IFN-induced genes during hepatic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. To address this objective, we derived endodermal cells (day 5 postdifferentiation), hepatoblast (day 15) and immature hepatocytes (day 21) from human embryonic stem cells (hESC). Day 5, 15 and 21 cells were stimulated with IFN-a and subjected to IFN pathway analysis. Transcriptome analysis was carried out by RNA sequencing. The results showed that the IFN-a treatment activated STAT-JAK pathway in differentiating cells. Transcriptome analysis indicated stage specific expression of classical and non-classical IFNstimulated genes (ISGs). Subsequent validation confirmed the expression of novel ISGs including RASGRP3, CLMP and TRANK1 by differentiated hepatocytes upon IFN treatment. Hepatitis C virus replication in hESC-derived hepatic cells induced the expression of ISGs – LAMP3, ETV7, RASGRP3, and TRANK1. The hESC-derived hepatic cells contain intact innate system and can recognize invading pathogens. Besides assessing the tissue-specific functions for cell therapy applications, it may also be important to test the innate immune function of engrafting cells to ensure adequate defense against infections and improve graft survival. Overall design: 12 samples total, 4 samples in each time point (day 5, day 15, day 21). Each group of 4 within each time point has 2 control and 2 treatment samples in which the cells were stimulated with human interferon-alpha A (R and D Systems) at a concentration of 5000 IU for 6 hours.

Description
Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved pathway that selectively degrades specific subsets of RNA transcripts. Here, we provide evidence that NMD regulates early human developmental cell fate. We found that NMD factors tend to be expressed at higher levels in human pluripotent cells than differentiated cells, raising the possibility that NMD must be downregulated to permit differentiation. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) demonstrated that, indeed, NMD downregulation is essential for efficient generation of definitive endoderm. RNA-seq analysis identified NMD target transcripts induced when NMD is suppressed in hESCs, including many encoding signaling components. This led us to test the role of TGF-b and BMP signaling, which we found NMD acts through to influence definitive endoderm vs. mesoderm fate. Our results suggest that selective RNA decay is critical for specifying the developmental fate of specific human embryonic cell lineages. Overall design: Examination of differential gene expression in hESCs upon loss of UPF1.

Description
Males are 50% more likely to develop end stage kidney failure compared to women. In this study we wanted to find out the molecular mechanism responsible for this increased risk. We collected kidney samples from patients with and without kidney disease and performed a comprehensive gene expression analysis in healthy and diseased male and female kidneys.

Description
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are critical for maintaining spermatogenesis throughout adult life. Little is known about how SSCs are first generated. Here, we report the identification of a transcription factor—RHOX10—that promotes the initial establishment of SSCs. We were led to this discovery because we found that conditional loss of a large X-linked gene cluster comprised of 33 related homeobox genes, including Rhox10, causes defects predicted if SSCs fail to be generated or maintained. Remarkably, KO of only Rhox10 elicits SSC-related defects indistinguishable from KO of the entire gene cluster. Using a battery of approaches, including single cell-RNAseq analysis, we determined that loss of Rhox10 causes accumulation of undifferentiated germ cells—Pro-spermatogonia (ProSG)—at a time when they normally would form SSCs. The identification of a transcription factor that drives the initial generation of SSCs has potential therapeutic applications for infertility. Overall design: Single cell RNA-seq analysis of ID4-positive testicular cells from Wildtype and Rhox10 knockout mice (Postnatal day 3 and 7)

Description
Purpose: Validation of Drosophila A-to-I editing sites Methods: We collected heads of 5 day old male dAdar-/- mutant (y, Adar5G1, w)26 and wild type (w1118) flies. Poly(A)+ RNA was used to prepare RNA-seq libraries which were subsequently sequenced single-end by an Illumina GAII Results:We builded a framework to identify RNA editing events using RNA-seq data alone in Drosophila. To validate whether the identified A-to-G sites were bona fide A-to-I editing events, we performed RNA-seq for the D.melanogaster wild-type strain (w1118) and for the Adar5G1 null mutant that eliminates RNA editing. We found that our method achieved high accuracy; 98.2% of all A-to-G sites showed only adenosine in the Adar5G1 sample Conclusions: We anticipate that our method will be very effective in the future to identify RNA editing events in different species. Overall design: mRNA profiles of heads of 5 day old male dAdar-/- mutant (y, Adar5G1, w)26 and wild type (w1118) flies
