Description
Metabolism in cancer serves to provide energy and key biomolecules that sustain cell growth, a process that is frequently accompanied by decreased mitochondrial use of glucose. Importantly, metabolic intermediates including mitochondrial metabolites are central substrates for post-translational modifications at the core of cellular signalling and epigenetics. However, the molecular means that coordinate the use of mitochondrial metabolites for anabolism and nuclear protein modification are poorly understood. Here, we unexpectedly found that genetic and pharmacological inactivation of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase A1 (PDHA1), a subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) that regulates mitochondrial metabolism16 inhibits prostate cancer development in different mouse and human xenograft tumour models. Intriguingly, we found that lipid biosynthesis was strongly affected in prostate tumours upon PDC inactivation. Mechanistically, we found that nuclear PDC controls the expression of Sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor (SREBF) target genes by mediating histone acetylation whereas mitochondrial PDC provides cytosolic citrate for lipid synthesis in a coordinated effort to sustain anabolism. In line with the oncogenic function of PDC in prostate cancer, we find that PDHA1 and the PDC activator, Pyruvate dehydrogenase phospatase 1 (PDP1), are frequently amplified and overexpressed at both gene and protein level in these tumours. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that both mitochondrial and nuclear PDC sustains prostate tumourigenesis by controlling lipid biosynthesis thereby pointing at this complex as a novel target for cancer therapy.

Description
This dataset contains whole-genome RNA sequencing results from rat embryonic hippocampal neuronal cultures and serves as the basis for characterization of CRISPR/dCas9 gene activation in neuronal systems. Overall design: This experiment contains 9 biological samples, each of which underwent directional, paired-end PolyA+ RNA-seq on an Illumina Next-seq 500. Samples were treated with Lacz sgRNA (LZ2, LZ4, & LZ5), Bdnf-I sgRNA (B16, B17, B18), or Bdnf-IV sgRNA (BIV11, BIV14, BIV15), in addition to a dCas9-VPR fusion. Datasets were obtained using RNA-seq from PolyA+ fractions fractions of RNA. Each sample has multiple files, corresponding to different sequencing lanes (e.g., L001, L002, etc) or different reads (e.g., R1, R2).

Description
We report a method for deriving oligodendrocyte lineage cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in three-dimensional (3D) culture called human oligodendrocyte spheroids (hOLS). To characterize oligodendrocyte-lineage cells in hOLS, we isolated O4+ cells by immunopanning and performed deep single cell RNA sequencing. We sequenced 295 cells and compared their profiles to unsorted cells isolated from primary human fetal cortex, primary human adult cortex, and hCS. Clustering of all cells using the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE) approach revealed a distinct populations of SOX10+ oligodendrocytes, within which the O4+ cells derived from hOLS clustered most closely to oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and mature oligodendrocytes from the primary human adult cortical tissue. Additionally, subpopulations of OPCs, newly formed oligodendrocytes, and myelinating oligodendrocytes derived were observed in the hOLS-derived cluster. To further assess the state of oligodendrocyte-lineage cells in hOLS, we performed a Monocle analysis which revealed a spectrum of oligodendrocyte-lineage stages in hOLS ranging from dividing cells that closely resembled primary OPCs to mature cells that closely resembled primary oligodendrocytes. Overall design: Examination of gene expression in single oligodendrocyte-lineage cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells in three-dimensional culture

Description
Purpose: We isolated Drosophila midgut cells : Delta+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs), Su(H)+enteroblasts (EBs), Esg+ cells (ISC+EB), Myo1A+Enterocytes (ECs), Pros+Enteroendocrine cells (EEs) and How+Visceral muscle cells (VM) from whole midguts to identify stem cell specific genes and study cell type specificities of midgut cells. We also isolated all the cell types from the 5 major regions (R1-R5) of the Drosophila midgut to study differences in cells in different regions. Methods: 3-7 day old female flies were dissected. Flies with GFP/YFP marking different cell types (using the GAL4-UAS system) were used to separate cells of the midgut.The midguts were dissociated with Elastase and FACS sorted using FACS AriaIII. RNA was extracted, amplified and sequenced. Whole midgut samples were sequenced on Illumina GAIIX and regional cell populations were sequenced on HiSeq2000. Methods:Raw fastqc reads were mapped to the Drosophila genome (Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP5.70.dna.toplevel.fa) using Tophat 2.0.9 at default (using boost_1_54_0, bowtie2-2.1.0, samtools-0.1.19). Methods: For differential expression analysis, DESeq (p-value adjustment 0.05 by method Benjamini-Hochberg) was used. The reads were normalized also to Reads per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (RPKM). Results: More than 50% of the genome is expressed in the adult midgut (FlyAtlas- Chintapalli et al., 2007), of these genes about 50% (2457) were differentially expressed (DE) between all 4 cell types (ISCs, EBs, ECs and EEs) atleast 2 folds with 95% confidence Results: 159 genes that were specifically enriched in ISCs, 509 genes were specifically repressed in ISCs Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Drosophila intestinal cell transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.Our data facilitates comparative investigations of expression profiles of cells and reveals novel stem cell genes. Further region specific profiling adds precision to the analysis of variances in the midgut regions. We identify transcriptional regulators and regional transcription factors which modulate the midgut physiology. The dataset will be a great resource for hypothesis generation, tool building and fine tuned studies on the Drosophila midgut. Overall design: mRNA profiles of Drosophila intestinal cells from whole midguts and midgut regions were generated by Deep Sequencing. Whole midgut profiles were generated in triplicates (Illumina GAIIx, 72 bp read length) and regional cell type profiles were genrated in duplicates (HiSeq 2000, 50bp read length).

Description
Extremely premature birth is associated with an increased risk for hypoxic brain injury due to lung immaturity and this results in severe long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. The susceptible cell types in the cerebral cortex at this critical developmental time point and the molecular mechanisms underlying associated gray matter defects in premature infants are not known. Here, we used a human three-dimensional (3D) cellular system to study the effect of changes in oxygen tension on the mid-gestation human cerebral cortex. We identified specific defects in intermediate progenitors, a cortical cell type associated with the expansion of the human cerebral cortex, and show that these are related to the unfolded protein response (UPR) and cell cycle changes. Moreover, we verify these findings in human primary cortical tissue and demonstrate that a modulator of the UPR pathway can prevent the reduction in intermediate progenitors following hypoxia. We anticipate that this human cellular platform will be useful in studying other environmental and genetic factors underlying brain injury in premature infants. We investigated the transcriptional changes associated with exposure to <1% O2 by performing RNA sequencing. Overall design: RNA-seq, 101 bp singlepaired-end reads; minimum of 40 million high quality reads per sample) at 24 and 48 hours (middle and end of <1% O2 for hypoxic condition), as well as after 72 hours of re-oxygenation at 21% O2.

Description
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe health problems. Despite intensive investigation, many aspects of microbial virulence remain poorly understood. We used a high-throughput, high-content, whole-organism, phenotypic screen to identify small molecules that inhibit P. aeruginosa virulence in C. elegans. Approximately half of the hits were known antimicrobials. A large number of hits were non-antimicrobial bioactive compounds, including the cancer chemotherapeutic 5-fluorouracil. We determined that 5-fluorouracil both transiently inhibits bacterial growth and reduces pyoverdine biosynthesis. Pyoverdine is a siderophore that regulates the expression of several virulence determinants and is critical for pathogenesis in mammals. We show that 5-fluorouridine, a downstream metabolite of 5-fluorouracil, is responsible for inhibiting pyoverdine biosynthesis. We also show that 5-fluorouridine, in contrast to 5-fluorouracil, is a genuine anti-virulent compound, with no bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal activity. To our knowledge, this is the first report utilizing a whole-organism screen to identify novel compounds with antivirulent properties effective against P. aeruginosa.
