The goal of this study is to identify genomic signatures predicitve of cell-of-origin in acute myeloid leukemia 50K bulk leukemia (GFP+) cells from the spleen of recipient mice were sorted directly into 350µl of RLT buffer (Qiagen) and flash-frozen. Total RNA was isolated according to manufacturer’s protocols (Qiagen) including DNase treatment, and quality was assessed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and RNA 6000 Nano kit. Amplified cDNA was sheared to approximately 300bp using a Covaris E220 Focused Ultrasonicator. RNA-seq library preparation used the TruSeq DNA sample prep kit v2 (Illumina). Libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. Overall design: Transcriptome profiles of purified cell populations of hematopoetic stem and progenitor cells to identify transcriptomic singatures associated with leukemia cell-of-origin

View SamplesChromatin modifiers regulate lifespan in several organisms, raising the question of whether changes in chromatin states in the parental generation could be incompletely reprogrammed in the next generation and thereby affect the lifespan of descendents. The histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) complex composed of ASH-2, WDR-5, and the histone methyltransferase SET-2 regulates C. elegans lifespan. Here we show that deficiencies in the H3K4me3 chromatin modifiers ASH-2, WDR-5, or SET-2 in the parental generation extend the lifespan of descendents up until the third generation. The transgenerational inheritance of lifespan extension by members of the ASH-2 complex is dependent on the H3K4me3 demethylase RBR-2, and requires the presence of a functioning germline in the descendents. Transgenerational inheritance of lifespan is specific for the H3K4me3 methylation complex and is associated with epigenetic changes in gene expression. Thus, manipulation of specific chromatin modifiers only in parents can induce an epigenetic memory of longevity in descendents.

View SamplesA better understanding of the molecular and cellular factors involved in human plasma cell differentiation will accelerate therapeutic target identification in autoantibody-mediated diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe a novel CXCR3+ PD1hi CD4+ T cell 'helper' population expanded in blood and inflamed kidneys of SLE patients. Upon activation, these cells express IFNg and IL10 and display high levels of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) as the result of reverse electron transfer (RET) fueled by succinate. Furthermore, T cell-derived succinate synergizes with IL10 to provide B cell help. Cells with similar phenotype and function are generated in vitro upon priming naive CD4+ T cells with oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox mtDNA)- activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in a PD1-dependent manner. Our results provide a novel mechanism for the initiation and/or perpetuation of extrafollicular humoral responses in SLE. Overall design: 2 independent datasets; dataset1: total 9 samples (3 subjects, 3 groups, 3 replicates); dataset2: total 20 samples, 2 samples(PD1POS, Tfh) from each of 10 SLE patients

View SamplesA better understanding of the mechanisms involved in human plasma cell differentiation will accelerate therapeutic target identification in autoantibody-mediated diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe a novel CXCR5- CXCR3+ PD1hi CD4+ T cell 'helper' population distinct from follicular helper T cells (Tfh) and expanded in blood and inflamed kidneys of SLE patients. Upon activation, these cells express IFN??and high levels of IL10. Additionally, they accumulate high amounts of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) as the result of reverse electron transport (RET) fueled by succinate. These cells provide potent help to B cells through the synergistic effect of IL10 and succinate.

Our results provide a novel mechanism for the initiation and/or perpetuation of extrafollicular humoral responses in SLE. Overall design: 9 total samples; 3 groups of 3 biological replicates: control group Th0, co-culture group CpGA-pDC, and co-culture group Ox mtDNA-pDC
