Project description:Comparison of gene expression profile in RAG2+ B lineage cells from the small intestinal lamina propria and RAG2+ B lineage cells from the bone marrow
Project description:We used a RAG2-GFP reporter mouse to show that RAG+ B lineage cells can be found in the small intestinal lamina proria in normally-housed mice at weaning age. We used microarry expression analysis to compare the RAG2+ population in the gut to the RAG2+ B lineage population in the bone marrow. Microarray was used to compare RAG2+ lamina propria B cells to RAG2+ bone marrow B cells. For each experiment, RAG2-GFP+ cells from 8-12 post-natal day 17-25 RAG2-GFP reporter mice were sorted from small intestinal lamina propria lymphocyte preparations and bone marrow. RNA extracted from trizol was used for the analysis. 3 independent replicates were performed.

Project description:We used 454 sequencing to assess the repertoire of B cell subsets from bone marrow, spleen, and small intestinal lamina propria from two mouse strains. We used a RAG2-GFP reporter mouse strain (129Sve background) to isolate CD19+ RAG2+ B lineage cells from bone marrow and small intestinal lamina propria and total splenic B cells. We used 5' RACE to amplify cDNA libraries using primers specific for the mu constant region of IgH and the Ig kappa constant region. We also used this technique to analyze total B cell libraries from Swiss Webster germ-free mice to compare to littermate controls that were cohoused with regular specific pathogen free (SPF) mice for 7 days. Examination of the Ig kappa repertoire and IgH repertoire in RAG2+ bone marrow B lineage cells compared to RAG2+ small intestinal lamina propria B lineage cells or total splenic B cells. There are 8 (Ig kappa) or 4 (IgH) independent experiments comparing repertoires in RAG2-GFP mice. Each experiment in RAG2-GFP+ mice consisted of a pool of 8-12 mice. There are 3 experiments comparing germ-free to colonized mouse total B cell repertoires, each consisting of one mouse per condition.

Project description:This dataset represent the RNA-seq, which was done on untreated small intestinal organoids; small intestinal organoids treated with chemotherapeutic, busulfan; untreated small intestinal organoids co-cultured wth mesenchymak stromal/stem cells (MSCs; busulfan treated small intestinal organoids co-cultured with MSCs. The same set of samples was done for 3 different primary bone marrow MSC donors.

Project description:Intestinal organoids accurately recapitulate epithelial homeostasis in vivo, thereby representing a powerful in vitro system to investigate lineage specification and cellular differentiation. Here, we applied a multi-omics framework on stem cell enriched and -depleted mouse intestinal organoids to obtain a holistic view of the molecular mechanisms that drive differential gene expression during adult intestinal stem cell differentiation. Our data revealed a global rewiring of the transcriptome and proteome between intestinal stem cells and enterocytes, with the majority of dynamic protein expression being transcription-driven. Integrating absolute mRNA and protein copy numbers revealed post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Probing the epigenetic landscape identified a large number of cell-type specific regulatory elements, which revealed Hnf4g as a major driver of enterocyte differentiation. In summary, by applying an integrative systems biology approach we uncovered multiple layers of gene expression regulation, which contribute to lineage specification and plasticity of the mouse small intestinal epithelium.
Project description:<p>We used massively parallel sequencing technology to profile the genomic DNA and RNA of tumor cells (leukemic bone marrow) and normal cells (skin biopsy) obtained from a single patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), referred to throughout this study as 'ALL1'. Included in this study are samples obtained from a primary tumor, first relapse, second relapse and several intermediate timepoints. We identified somatic mutations present in each tumor by analysis of whole genome (WGS) and exome sequence data. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions and deletions were identified in both the exome and WGS data. Large copy number variations (CNVs) and structural variants (SVs) were identified in the WGS data. A custom capture reagent was designed to target most variants and used to generate deep validation sequence data. The expression status of all somatic variants was assessed by RNA-seq. The RNA-seq data was also used for gene expression analysis and gene fusion detection.</p>
Project description:Intestinal mucosal mast cells are critically involved in the development of food-induced allergic disorders. However, factors that induce differentiation of mucosal mast cells in the intestinal mucosa are largely unknown. To identify factors involved in mucosal mast cell differentiation, we compared the gene expression profiles between mucosal mast cells isolated from the small intestine and bone marrow-derived mast cells cultured in the presence of TGF-β or Notch ligand. Mucosal mast cells were isolated from the small intestine of naïve BALB/c mice by flow cytometry. Bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) were generated by culturing BALB/c bone marrow cells with murine interleukin-3 and stem cell factor for 3-4 weeks, and then cells were cultured for 6 days in the presence or absence of TGF-β or Delta-like 1 (Dll1), which is a Notch ligand. Total RNAs extracted from these cells were processed and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips.
