The conserved RNA-binding protein Musashi1 (MSI1) has emerged as a key oncogenic factor in numerous solid tumors, including glioblastoma. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been established comprehensively. We set out to map its impact on the transcriptome in U251 cells using RNA-seq and iCLIP. Overall design: Examination of gene expression and splicing changes upon KD of Musashi1 in U251 cells and link to iCLIP-identified Musashi1 RNA binding sites

Overall design: To assess the transcriptional effects of CD22 blockade, we implanted aged mice with osmotic pumps to continuously infuse a CD22 blocking antibody or an IgG control antibody directly into the cerebrospinal fluid for one month. Following one month of continuous infusion, we performed RNA-seq on purified microglia from the hemi-brains of these mice contralateral to the cannulation site to minimize injury-induced confounding factors. Primary mouse microglia were isolated by gentle dounce homogenization of the brain, magentic myelin removal, and FACS-purification of ~20,000 live CD11b+CD45lo cells. Microglia were sorted into RLT Plus buffer (Qiagen) containing beta-mercaptoethanol. RNA was extracted using a RNeasy Micro Plus kit (Qiagen) according the manufacturer's protocol. RNA integrity was assessed on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent), and high quality samples were used for library preparation. cDNA synthesis and amplification was performed using the SmartSeq v4 Ultra-low input kit (Takara), and libraries were tagmented, adaptor ligated, and indexed using the Nextera XT kit (Illumina). After normalization and pooling, libraries were sequenced on a Hiseq 4000 (Illumina) using paired-end 100bp reads. Raw sequencing files were demultiplexed with bcl2fastq, reads were aligned using STAR, the count matrix was generated using SummarizedExperiment, and differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2 with standard settings.

View SamplesWe constructed a polycistronic lentiviral vector to overexpress 3 germ cell specific genes (Stella, Oct4 and Nanos2) in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEFs) and evaluated the transcriptome portrait in partially reprogrammed cells.We sequenced RNA samples from bulk cell population of two biological duplicates of MEF-GFP (control) and MEF-SON (overexpressed) 21 days post infection. Differential expression analysis of 50 M pair-end read per samples showed overexpression of neurogenesis, blood vessel and proliferation related genes and downregulation of chondroitin sulphate metabolic process, nitric oxide production and innate immune response genes. Overall design: Examination of whole transcriptome following concurrent overexpression of Stella, Oct4 and Nanos2 in MEFs.

View SamplesOur earlier study demonstrated that when CFSE-labeled LCMV-or Pichinde virus-immune spleen leukocytes were transferred into T cell-deficient hosts, the bona fide virus-specific memory cells underwent relatively limited cell division and were substantially diluted in frequency by other more extensively proliferating cells originating from that donor cell population. We questioned how the slowly dividing population, which contained bona fide memory cells, differed from the rapidly dividing cells, which contained memory-like cells. As a preliminary screen we performed a comparative genome-wide microarray analysis of genes expressed on sorted rapidly proliferating (CFSE-low) and slowly proliferating (CFSE-high) CD8 cell populations

View SamplesA data set of normal epithelium, serous ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumors (benign and type II malignancies), stroma distal to tumor, and stroma adjacent to tumor (50 samples total). Additional cel files are included which represent replicate sampling from patients, and cel files that failed quality control but may be bioinformatically interesting. Additional replicate or failed cel files were not included in the final analysis (and so these samples were not included in the matrix).

Differences between disease and control groups were identified using a rigorous statistical analysis with correction for confounding variables and multiple testing.
