Description
Integration of nutritional, microbial and inflammatory events along the gut-brain axis can alter bowel physiology and organism behaviour. The principal neural unit in the bowel encoding these stimuli is the visceral sensory neuron with endings at the mucosa, intramurally and along mesenteric blood vessels. Sensory neurons activate reflex pathways and give rise to conscious sensation, however, the diversity and division of function within these neurons is poorly understood. The identification of signalling pathways contributing to visceral sensation is constrained by the current paucity of molecular markers. Here we overcome these limitations by comprehensive transcriptomic profiling and unsupervised clustering of single colonic sensory neurons revealing 7 classes characterised from both lumbar splanchnic (LSN) and pelvic nerves (PN). We identify and classify neurons based on novel marker genes, confirm translation of patterning to protein expression and show subtype-selective differential agonist activation, describing sensory diversity encompassing all modalities of colonic neuronal sensitivity. Overall design: Sensory neurons innervating the mouse colorectum were labelled by retrograde tracer injection. Single-cell RNAseq was performed on 399 dissociated colonic sensory neurons isolated from thoracolumbar (T10-L1) and lumbosacral (L5-S2) dorsal root ganglia distributed over six 96-well plates. 13 additional negative controls were collected.

Description
Celiac disease is an intestinal inflammatory disorder induced by dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The mechanisms underlying the massive expansion of interferon gproducing intraepithelial cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and the destruction of the epithelial cells lining the small intestine of celiac patients have remained elusive. We report massive oligoclonal expansions of intraepithelial CTLs that exhibit a profound genetic reprogramming of natural killer (NK) functions. These CTLs aberrantly expressed cytolytic NK lineage receptors, such as NKG2C, NKp44, and NKp46, which associate with adaptor molecules bearing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs and induce ZAP-70 phosphorylation, cytokine secretion, and proliferation independently of T cell receptor signaling. This NK transformation of CTLs may underlie both the self-perpetuating, gluten-independent tissue damage and the uncontrolled CTL expansion leading to malignant lymphomas in severe forms of celiac disease. Because similar changes were detected in a subset of CTLs from cytomegalovirus-seropositive patients, we suggest that a stepwise transformation of CTLs into NK-like cells may underlie immunopathology in various chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Description
To uncover the gene expression alterations that occur during lung cancer progression, we interrogated the gene expression state of neoplastic cells at different stages of malignant progression. We initiated tumors in KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53flox/flox;R26LSL-tdTomato (KPT) mice with a pool of barcoded lentiviral-Cre vectors and purified Tomatopositive cancer cells away from the diverse and variable stromal cell populations. Five to nine months after tumor initiation, cancer cells were isolated from individual primary tumors and metastases using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Sequencing of the barcode region of the integrated lentiviral vectors established primary tumor-metastasis and metastasis-metastasis relationships. Tumor barcoding allowed us to unequivocally distinguish non-metastatic primary tumors (TnonMet) from those primary tumors that had seeded metastases (TMet). We profiled 10 TnonMet samples as well as TMet and metastasis (Met) samples representing 12 metastatic events. To examine additional earlier stages of lung cancer development, we also analyzed premalignant cells from hyperplasias that develop in KPT mice shortly after tumor initiation (KPT-Early; KPT-E), as well as tumors from KrasG12D;R26LSL-tdTomato (KT) mice which rarely gain metastatic ability Overall design: This study includes 52 samples: 3 KP late samples, 3KPT early samples,10 non-metastatic primary tumors, 9 metastatic primary tumors, and 27 metastasis in different organs. total RNA was isolated and prepared for sequencing using the Ovation® RNA-Seq system and Illumina TruSeq DNA kit (v2) to generate 100bp paired end reads. Reads were aligned to mm10.

Description
The RNA exosome is fundamental for the degradation of RNA in eukaryotic nuclei. Substrate targeting is facilitated by its co-factor Mtr4p/hMTR4, which links to RNA-binding protein adaptors. One such activity is the human Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, composed of hMTR4, the Zn-finger protein ZCCHC8 and the RNA-binding factor RBM7. NEXT primarily targets early and unprocessed transcripts, demanding a rationale for how the nuclear exosome recognizes processed RNAs. Here, we describe the PolyA tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection, comprising the hitherto uncharacterized ZFC3H1 Zn-knuckle protein as a central link between hMTR4 and the nuclear polyA binding protein PABPN1. Individual depletion of ZFC3H1 and PABPN1 results in the accumulation of common transcripts, that are generally both longer and more 3'polyadenylated than NEXT substrates. Importantly, ZFC3H1/PABPN1 and ZCCHC8/RBM7 contact hMTR4 in a mutually exclusive manner, revealing that the exosome targets nuclear transcripts of different maturation status by substituting its hMTR4-associating adaptors. Overall design: RNA from HeLa cells was analysed by next generation sequencing upon depletion of EGFP(control), RRP40, RBM7, ZCCHC8, PABPN1 and ZFC3H1. Both total and BrU RNA (one hour labeling) were collected for each condition in triplicates. The spike-in sequences used in the samples can be provided upon request.

Description
Extracellular matrix interactions play essential roles in normal physiology and many pathological processes. Here, we report a novel screening platform capable of measuring phenotypic responses to combinations of ECM molecules. While the importance of ECM interactions in metastasis is well documented, systematic approaches to identify their roles in distinct stages of tumorigenesis have not been described. Using a genetic mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma, we measured the ECM-dependent adhesion of tumor-derived cells. Hierarchical clustering of adhesion profiles generated using this platform differentially segregated metastatic cell lines from primary tumor lines. Furthermore, we uncovered that metastatic cells selectively associate with fibronectin when in combination with galectin-3, galectin-8, or laminin. These interactions appear to be mediated in part by 31 integrin both in vitro and in vivo. We show that these galectins also correlate with human disease at both a transcriptional and histological level. Thus, our in vitro platform allowed us to interrogate the interactions of metastatic cells with their surrounding environment, and identified ECM and integrin interactions that could lead to therapeutic targets for metastasis prevention.

Description
Termination of transcription is important for establishing gene punctuation marks. It is also critical for suppressing many of the pervasive transcription events occurring throughout eukaryotic genomes and coupling their RNA products to efficient decay. In human cells, the ARS2 protein has been implicated in such function as its depletion causes transcriptional read-through of selected gene terminators and because it physically interacts with the ribonucleolytic nuclear RNA exosome. Here, we study the role of ARS2 on transcription and RNA metabolism genome-wide. We show that ARS2 depletion negatively impacts levels of promoter-proximal RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) at protein-coding (pc) genes, Moreover, our results reveal a general role of ARS2 in transcription termination-coupled RNA turnover at short transcription units like snRNA-, replication dependent histone (RDH)-, promoter upstream transcript (PROMPT)- and enhancer RNA (eRNA)-loci. Depletion of the ARS2 interaction partner ZC3H18 mimics the ARS2 depletion, although to a milder extent, whereas depletion of the exosome core subunit RRP40 only impacts RNA abundance post-transcriptionally. Interestingly, ARS2 is also involved in transcription termination events within first introns of pc genes. Our work therefore establishes ARS2 as a general suppressor of pervasive transcription with the potential to regulate protein-coding gene expression. Overall design: RNA from HeLa cells was analysed by next generation sequencing upon depletion of EGFP(control), ARS2(SRRT), ZC3H18 and CBP80. Total RNA was collected for each condition in triplicates.
