We report RNA-seq of single nuclei isolated from the adult C57BL/6 male mouse Hippocampus region. Majority of the nuclei were isolated from 12 weeks old mice (4 different animal), with an additional set of nuclei from 3 months and 2 years old animals. In addition a set of GFP labeled nuclei driven by a VGAT promoter . Overall design: Microdissections of dentate gyrus, CA1 and CA2/3 regions of the Hippocampus were placed into ice-cold RNA-later for fixation and stored at 4°c overnight, then stored in -80°c. Nuclei were isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation and kept on ice until sorting using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) into 96 well plates containing RNA lysis buffer. Single nucleus RNA was first purified then derived cDNA libraries were generated following a modified Smart-seq2 protocol. For VGAT nuclei: high titer AAV1/2 of pAAV-EF1a-DIO-EYFP-KASH-WPRE-hGH-polyA was injected into dorsal and/or ventral Hippocampus, animals were sacrificed two weeks after injections, and GFP labeled nuclei were sorted into plates and processed as described above.

View SamplesIn summary, we characterized genomic signatures of response to drugs of abuse and we found positive correlations between the drug-induced expression and various behavioral effects. These signatures are formed by two dynamically inducible transcriptional networks: (1) CREB/SRF-dependent gene pattern that appears to be related to drug-induced neuronal activity, (2) the pattern of genes controlled at least in part via release of glucocorticoids and androgens that are associated with rewarding and harmful drug effects. The discovery of co-expressed networks of genes allowed for the identification of master-switch controlling factors involved in molecular response to the drugs. Finally, using the pharmacological tools we were able to dissect and inhibit particular gene expression patterns from genomic profile.

View SamplesCoinhibitory receptor blockade is a promising strategy to boost immunity against a variety of human cancers. However, many patients still do not benefit from this treatment, and responders often experience immune-related toxicities. These issues highlight the need for improved understanding of checkpoint blockade, but the T cell-intrinsic signaling pathways and gene expression profiles engaged during treatment are not well defined, particularly for combination approaches. We utilized a murine model of CD8+ T cell tolerance to address these issues.
Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy relies on T-bet but not Eomes to induce effector function in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells.

View SamplesDefinitive hematopoiesis emerges via an endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region and placenta. We have recently demonstrated the induction of hematopoietic stem/progenitors (HSPCs) from mouse fibroblasts with a combination of transcription factors progressing through endothelial-like precursors. Here, guided by our in vitro programming experiments we analyzed mouse placentas for the presence of the precursor phenotype. We identified a small population of CD34+ Sca1+Prom1+ (34PS) cells in mid-gestation placentas that do not express the pan-hematopoietic marker CD45. After isolation and culture 34PS cells acquire CD45 and generate large hematopoietic as well as cobblestone colonies. Prom1+ cells localize to the placental vascular labyrinth where HSPCs emerge. 34PS cells express markers associated with the hemogenic endothelium (CD31, Tie2, VE-Cadherin, Sox17, Runx1, Scl) and also markers identified by direct induction (Itga6/CD49f). This population is heterogeneous for the early hematopoietic marker CD41 and expresses the programming transcription factors. Remarkably, global gene expression profiles of placental 34PS cells correlate with AGM-derived hemogenic endothelium and fibroblast-derived precursors. Finally, when co-cultured with stroma placental 34PS cells give rise to B/T lymphoid cells as well as mixed colonies containing erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocytic cell lineages. In summary, we show that direct in vitro conversion provided a cell surface phenotype for the isolation of hemogenic precursors in vivo. Our findings provide insights into the specification of definitive hemogenesis in the placenta, in depth characterization of hemogenic precursor populations and the first evidence that direct in vitro conversion approaches can be used as a valuable tool to address basic developmental questions in vivo.

View SamplesNon-coding RNAs regulate many biological processes including neurogenesis. The brain-enriched miR-124 is assigned as a key player of neuronal differentiation via its complex, but little understood, regulation of thousands of annotated targets. To systematically chart its regulatory functions, we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to disrupt all six miR-124 alleles in human stem cells. Upon neuronal induction, miR-124-depleted cells underwent neurogenesis and became functional neurons, albeit with altered morphology and neurotransmitter specification. By RNA-induced-silencing-complex precipitation, we found that other miRNA species were upregulated in miR-124 depleted neurons. Furthermore, we identified 98 miR-124 targets of which some directly led to decreased viability. We performed advanced transcription-factor-network analysis and revealed indirect miR-124 effects on apoptosis and neuronal subtype differentiation. Our data emphasizes the need for combined experimental- and systems-level analyses to comprehensively disentangle and reveal miRNA functions, including their involvement in the neurogenesis of diverse neuronal cell types found in the human brain. Overall design: RNA profile for timecourse of neuronal Neurogenin-1 and 2-triggered differentiation from human iPSCs (wildtype and ?miR-124).
