View SamplesInjured skeletal muscle regenerates, but with age or in muscular dystrophies, muscle is replaced by fat. Upon injury, muscle-resident fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) proliferated and gave rise to adipocytes. These FAPs dynamically produced primary cilia, structures that transduce intercellular cues such as Hedgehog (Hh) signals. Genetically removing cilia from FAPs inhibited intramuscular adipogenesis, both after injury and in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Blocking FAP ciliation also enhanced myofiber regeneration after injury and reduced myofiber size decline in the muscular dystrophy model. Hh signaling through FAP cilia regulated the expression of TIMP3, a secreted metalloproteinase inhibitor, that inhibited MMP14 to block adipogenesis. A pharmacological mimetic of TIMP3 blocked the conversion of FAPs into adipocytes, pointing to a strategy to combat fatty degeneration of skeletal muscle. We conclude that ciliary Hh signaling by FAPs orchestrates the regenerative response to skeletal muscle injury. Overall design: Transcriptomic profiling using RNAseq was performed on RNA derived from a bipotent, progenitor cell population, called fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), purified from tibialis anterior muscle 3 days post glycerol injury. Two populations of cells were sequenced, one from wild type muscle (FAP-ctrl) and another from cells in which cilia, using a floxed Ift88 allele, were conditionally deleted (FAP-no cilia). A total of five FAP-ctrl and 3 FAP-no cilia samples were used. The TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit (Ilumina) was used to generate the library, which was subsequently sequenced using an Illumina 2500 SE 50bp platform and aligned to the GRCm38.78 whole genome using STAR RNAseq aligner. Individual read counts were normalized to the geometric mean read count across all samples using DEseq. Sequencing yielded ~314 million total reads with an average read depth of ~34.9 million reads per sample.

View SamplesPlasmodium falciparum malaria severely impacts human health. In order to broaden our understanding of merozoite invasion of erythrocytes which is responsible for clinical disease, a P. falciparum -irradiated "long-lived merozoite" (LLM) line was investigated. Cell-sieve purified LLM invaded human erythrocytes with an improved efficiency of 10- to 300-fold greater than wild-type (WT) parasites. A comparison of their genomes identified limited changes in the open reading frame of LLM; while only marginal differences were observed in the transcriptomes. Analysis of their proteomes by quantitative mass-spectrometry identified 446 out of 981 proteins of known or unknown function with a significant change in protein abundance (ANOVA p < 0.05). Furthermore, the relative molar concentration of nearly 1100 merozoite proteins was established. Unfortunately, a specific change being responsible for the LLM phenotype was not identified. However, immunoblot analyses of LLM lysates showed proteolytic processing of some proteins of the MSP1 complex and AMA1 were delayed, suggesting that this delayed proteolysis positively impacted merozoite viability and subsequent invasion.

View SamplesTo discover new miRNA targets, we generated a C.elegans transgenic line expressing a functional N-terminally Tandem Affinity Purification (TAP) tagged ALG-1 protein (C. elegans strain WS4303). We crossed the TAP::ALG-1 transgene into the mir-58(n4640) mutant background to generate the strain WS5041. For simplicity, we will hereafter term the TAP::ALG-1 transgenic animals as wild typeand the transgenic WS5041 animals as mir-58.
