View SamplesFibrotic diseases have significant health impact and have been associated with differentiation of the resident fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. In particular, stiffened extracellular matrix and TGF-1 in fibrotic lesions have been shown to promote pathogenic myofibroblast activation and progression of fibrosis in various tissues. To better understand the roles of mechanical and chemical cues on myofibroblast differentiation and how they may crosstalk, we cultured primary valvular interstitial cells (VICs) isolated from porcine aortic valves and studied how traditional TCPS culture, which presents a non-physiologically stiff environment, and TGF-1 affect native VIC phenotypes.

Overall design: hESC-derived atrial- and ventricular-like cardiomyocytes were treated with 1uM ibrutinib in experiment group and vehicle (DMSO) in control group in 12-well plates for 24 hours with 3 replicates in each condition.

View SamplesWe prepared small RNA libraries from 29 tumor/normal pairs of human cervical tissue samples. Analysis of the resulting sequences (42 million in total) defined 64 new human microRNA (miRNA) genes. Both arms of the hairpin precursor were observed in twenty-three of the newly identified miRNA candidates. We tested several computational approaches for analysis of class differences between high throughput sequencing datasets, and describe a novel application of log linear model that has provided the most datasets, and describe a novel application of log linear model that has provided the most effective analysis for this data. This method resulted in the identification of 67 miRNAs that were differentially-expressed between the tumor and normal samples at a false discovery rate less than 0.001. Overall design: A total of 29 tumor/normal pairs of human cervical tissue samples were analyzed. Two samples (G699N_2 and G761T_2) were performed in duplicates.

At the time of initial diagnosis, all three patients presented with luminal breast cancer with adjacent nodal metastasis. They all received 5 years of enodrine therapy and all subsequently developed liver metastasis. Overall design: Examination of mRNA differences between primary, nodal and metastatic tumour samples.

View SamplesNaïve CD4 T cells differentiate into functionally diverse subsets of T helper (Th) cells. Gene expression profiling has the capacity to pinpoint factors that regulate subset differentiation and function, however obtaining transcriptional profiles of pure populations has been challenging. We performed single cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) of T helper cells from lymph node, lung and airways in a mouse model of asthma. scRNA-Seq resolved transcriptional profiles of naïve CD4 T, Th1, Th2, Treg cells and various activated states including a population responding to type I interferons. A trajectory for Th2 cell differentiation was delineated over time, with Th2 cells acquiring follicular T helper cell characteristics in the lung-draining lymph node before undergoing further modifications in the lung. A feature of airway Th2 cells was their enrichment for genes associated with lipid metabolism and experiments with blockers of key metabolic pathways supported roles for glucose and lipid metabolism in Th2 cell differentiation. Overall design: Mice were sentized and challanged with HDM extract intranasally. scRNA-Seq was performed in 384-well format. The relevant organs (either BAL, lung or mLN) were isolated, rapidly processed, stained for a panel of surface markers and single cell sorted within approximately 90 minutes of organ harvest. In total 764 memory T helper cells (CD3+CD4+CD44+) were sorted directly into lysis buffer using a BD Influx from two independent mice 15 days after sensitization and challenge with HDM as described above. In addition, 50 naïve T Helper cells (CD3+CD4+CD62LhiCD44lo), 50 Treg cells (CD3+CD4+CD25hi) from mLN of a mouse not exposed to HDM; 200 ST2+ mLN and 82 ST2+ lung T helper cells (CD3+CD4+CD44+ST2+CD25-) were sort purified at day 10 of the HDM model. SMART-Seq2 libraries were prepared using the method described in Picelli et al. (Nature Methods 2013) by the Eukaryotic Single Cell Genomics national facility at SciLife Laboratory, Stockholm.

View SamplesThe earliest recognizable stages of breast neoplasia are lesions that represent a heterogeneous collection of epithelial proliferations currently classified based on morphology. Their role in the development of breast cancer is not well understood but insight into the critical events at this early stage will improve efforts in breast cancer detection and prevention. These microscopic lesions are technically difficult to study so very little is known about their molecular alterations. To characterize the transcriptional changes of early breast neoplasia, we sequenced 3''- end enriched RNAseq libraries from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue of early neoplasia samples and matched normal breast and carcinoma samples from 25 patients. We find that gene expression patterns within early neoplasias are distinct from both normal and breast cancer patterns and identify a pattern of pro-oncogenic changes, including elevated transcription of ERBB2, FOXA1, and GATA3 at this early stage. We validate these findings on a second independent gene expression profile data set generated by whole transcriptome sequencing. Measurements of protein expression by immunohistochemistry on an independent set of early neoplasias confirms that ER pathway regulators FOXA1 and GATA3, as well as ER itself, are consistently upregulated at this early stage. The early neoplasia samples also demonstrate coordinated changes in long non-coding RNA expression and microenvironment stromal gene expression patterns. This study is the first examination of global gene expression in early breast neoplasia, and the genes identified here represent candidate participants in the earliest molecular events in the development of breast cancer. Overall design: 3SEQ was performed on 72 FFPE human breast samples from 25 patients: 24 normal, 25 early neoplasia, 9 carcinoma in situ, and 14 invasive cancer
