View SamplesAim: To examine transcriptional changes in DLD-1 cells exposed to softer matrices (2 kPa and 55 kPa) and identify the chromosomes that are enriched with maximmally deregulated genes Methods: DLD-1 cells (otherwise growing on stiff tissue culture plastic substrates) were exposed to softer matrices for 90 minutes and to collagen coated glass coverslips (served as control) served as control) Results: RNA sequencing revealed nearly equivalent transcriptional deregulation in cells on both the polyacrylamide matrices (783 genes up and 872 genes down on 2 kPa, 649 genes up and 783 genes down on 55 kPa) when compared to cells on glass. Additionally, GO classification revealed that unique sets of transcriptionally deregulated genes (log fold=2) belonged to pathways associated with transcription regulation, chromatin organization, cell cycle and DNA damage/repair Results: We identified chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17 and 19 to be maximally enriched with the deregulated genes on softer matrices (log fold=2), while chromosomes 13, 18 and 21 showed minimal enrichment of deregulated genes. We also examined the spatial organization of chromosome 1, 18 and 19 territories in cells on softer matrices (using 3D-FISH) and observed that these chromosomes were mislocalized away from their conserved nuclear locations Conclusions: Our study reports the transcriptomic changes in DLD-1 cells upon lowering of extracellular substrate stiffnes and its impact on the spatial positioning of chromosome territories Overall design: RNA Seq profiles for DLD-1 cells on soft polyacrylamide matrices of ~2 kPa and ~55 kPa (reference - glass) were generated across 2 independent biological replicates using Illumina HiSeq platform

View SamplesPurpose: The goal of this study is to identify differentially expressed genes in pry-1/Axin mutant compare to N2 wild-type (WT). Our study represents the first analysis of Axin transcriptome in C. elegans and facilitates investigations of axin mediated processes. Overall design: Whole animal total RNA was extracted from L1 synchronized worms and mRNA profiles of WT and pry-1(mu38) animals were generated by paired end deep sequencing, using Illumina HISeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed using ce6 with Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by eXpress to estimate transcript abundances. Differentially-expressed genes were called at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05% using the DESeq package in R.

View SamplesMicroglia-like cells and neural cells were generated from several hES and hIPS lines. As subset was characterized by RNA seq and compared to expression profiles of published primary and induced samples. ABSTRACT: Microglia, the only lifelong resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are highly specialized macrophages which have been recognized to play a crucial role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). However, in contrast to other cell types of the human CNS, bona fide microglia have not yet been derived from cultured human pluripotent stem cells. Here we establish a robust and efficient protocol for the rapid production of microglia-like cells from human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that uses defined serum-free culture conditions. These in vitro pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia-like cells (termed pMGLs) faithfully recapitulate the expected ontogeny and characteristics of their in vivo counterparts and resemble primary fetal human and mouse microglia. We generated these cells from multiple disease-specific cell lines, and find that pMGLs derived from MeCP2 mutant hES cells are smaller than their isogenic controls. We further describe a culture platform to study integration and live behavior of pMGLs in organotypic 3D-cultures. This modular differentiation system allows the study of microglia in highly defined conditions, as they mature in response to developmentally relevant cues, and provides a framework to study the long-term interaction of microglia residing in a tissue-like environment. Overall design: Individual donors/genetic backgrounds. Dataset inlcudes 4 differentiated neural progenitor biological replicates (NPC1-4), 2 primary fetal microglia samples as reference, 5 induced microglia samples grown in basal medium (pMGL1-5), 3 induced microglia samples grown in neural conditioned medium (pMGL1-3+NCM)
