The alimentary tract contains a diffuse endocrine system comprising enteroendocrine cells that secrete peptides or biogenic amines to regulate digestion, insulin secretion, food intake, and energy homeostasis. Lineage analysis in the stomach revealed that a significant fraction of endocrine cells in the gastric corpus did not arise from neurogenin3-expressing cells, unlike enteroendocrine cells elsewhere in the digestive tract. We aimed to isolate enriched serotonin-secreting and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells from the stomach and to clarify their cellular origin. We used Neurod1 and Neurog3 lineage analysis, and examined differentiation of serotonin-producing and ECL cells in stomach tissues of Neurod1-cre;ROSAtdTom, Tph1-CFP, c-Kitwsh/wsh, and Neurog3Cre;ROSAtdTom mice, by immunohistochemistry. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting to isolate each cell type for gene expression analysis. We performed RNA-seq analysis of ECL cells. Neither serotonin-secreting nor ECL cells of the corpus arose from cells expressing Neurod1. Serotonin-secreting cells expressed a number of mast cell genes, but not genes associated with endocrine differentiation; they did not develop in c-Kitwsh/wsh mice and were labeled with transplanted bone marrow cells. RNA-seq analysis of ECL cells revealed high expression levels of many genes common to endocrine cells including transcription factors, hormones, ion channels, and solute transporters but not markers of bone marrow cells. Overall design: We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting to isolate Hdc+ cells from stomach corpus and performed RNA-seq for gene expression analysis to determine the origin of those cells.

View SamplesMononuclear phagocytes (MPs), including monocytes and macrophages, play complex roles in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We aimed to perform global transcriptome analysis on monocytes from AMD patients to obtain additional insight to the role of MPs in AMD. Peripheral blood was taken from treatment-nave neovascular AMD (nvAMD) patients (n=14), and age-matched controls (n=15). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated and monocytes were isolated via negative selection. Gene expression was evaluated with Affymetrix Gene1.0 ST microarrays. Statistical/bioinformatics analysis was performed using open sourceware programs.

View SamplesSurfactant deficiency, diffuse alveolar damage and respiratory failure caused by loss of Abca3 in AT2 cells was followed by remarkable proliferation of alveolar cells and selective survival of ABCA3 sufficient cells resulting in regeneration of alveolar structure and function, providing the conceptual framework for the development of therapies to ameliorate lung diseases caused by mutations in ABCA3 and other genes critical for AT2 cell function or surfactant homeostasis. Overall design: Control and Abca3 cKO AT2 cell RNA-seq at 6 days post tamoxifen in adult mice.

View SamplesPhosphorus is an essential macronutrient element, but some time causes problems if present in excess. Unlike the enormous molecular and morphophysiological information available in plants regarding phosphate (Pi) deficiency, little is known about the effect of excess Pi on plants, which is indeed essential for its remediation. Here, we have carried out a comparative study of plant molecular responses under excess Pi (20 mM) or without Pi (0 mM) at transcriptome level. The 1.25 mM treatment concentration of Pi used as a control to obtain differentially regulated genes under above mentioned Pi regimes. A novel whole-transcript expression array, i.e. Arabidopsis Gene 1.0 ST Array, was used to perform these experiments. The most distinctly regulated groups of genes represent modulation in ethylene mediated signaling, Fe deficiency response, and root development. We have also identified some defensin like genes, possessing a gibberellic acid regulated domain (GASA like) under excess Pi treatment. Overall, this study will not only help in dissecting the mechanism of plant responses under excess Pi but also provide the clues about the unknown genes involved in phosphorus homeostasis.
