Neuronal histone acetylation has been linked to memory consolidation, and targeting histone acetylation has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for neuropsychiatric diseases. However, the role of histone-modifying enzymes in the adult brain is still far from being understood. Here we use RNA sequencing to screen the levels of all known histone acetyltransferases (HATs) in the hippocampal CA1 region and find that K-acetyltransferase 2a (Kat2a)--a HAT that has not been studied for its role ...[more]

Project description:Aspergillosis covers a range of infections cause by Aspergillus species, and in many cases can be life threatening. Individuals with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Dendritic cells were derived from patients with allergic brochopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA), and asthma, as well as from healthy donors. Each sample was split in two, and one sample from each pair was cultured with Aspergillus fumigatus. RNA-sequencing was used to assess transcriptional changes in the human cells in response to pathogen challenge. Many genes known to be important in immunity were found to exhibit differential expression after fungal challenge between healthy and diseased individuals, including chemokines and C-type lectins.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae M28 strain has been shown to form either smooth or filigreed colonies, and in some cases to exhibit resistance to trifluoroleucine. RNA-sequencing was used to analyse differences in the gene expression profiles of smooth or filigreed, resistant or sensitive colonies from three tetrads. Possibly the results should hint at the connection between these phenotypes and yeast strains pathogenicity.

Project description:Olfactory ensheathing cells are one of the few central nervous system regenerative cells discovered so far. It is characterized by its lifelong nerve regeneration function, and it can also release a variety of neurotrophic factors and neural adhesion molecules. It is considered to be the glial cell with the strongest myelination ability. Olfactory ensheathing cells and Schwann cells have phenotypes in common, they can promote axon regeneration(R. Doucette, 1995). Olfactory ensheathing cells have the characteristics of Schwann cells and astrocytes, but the overall performance tends to be the former, which has two unique characteristics. First, it exists not only in the peripheral nerves (Schwann cells), but also in the central nervous system (astroglia); second, the olfactory mucosa has the ability to regenerate life-long, including human olfactory ensheathing cells(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000). Regeneration is a process in which olfactory ensheathing cells participate in efficient regulation, although the specific mechanism is not yet clear. Olfactory ensheathing cells are different from astrocytes and Schwann cells, but at the same time have the characteristics of these two cells(S. C. Barnett, 2004), like Schwann cells help axon growth, but more than Schwann cells It can make axons grow long distances, that is, it has stronger migration(A. Ramon-Cueto et al., 1998); there are also astrocytes that have a nutritional effect on the survival of neurons and the growth of axons, but olfactory ensheathing cells can also wrap neurons forms myelin sheath to support the growth of nerve processes(R. Devon and R. Doucette, 1992; J. Gu et al., 2019). There are two characteristics that make olfactory ensheathing cells the best choice for the treatment of neurological diseases(S. C. Chiu et al., 2009; J. Kim et al., 2018; M. Abdel-Rahman et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells are gradually used to treat spinal cord injuries and have shown amazing effects(J. C. Bartolomei and C. A. Greer, 2000; K. J. Liu et al., 2010; R. Yao et al., 2018). Olfactory ensheathing cells that have been used in research are usually derived from the olfactory bulb(E. H. Franssen et al., 2007), but it is easier to obtain olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa in clinical practice(M. Ryszard et al., 2006), so the difference between the olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and the olfactory mucosa There are more and more studies(B. M. U. et al., 2007), and previous studies have shown that they not only have many similar functions, but also have many differences(M. W. Richter et al., 2005; L. Wang et al., 2014; K. E. Smith et al., 2020). Because olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory bulb are not easy to obtain, olfactory ensheathing cells derived from the olfactory mucosa have become the focus of attention. Although we know that olfactory ensheathing cells from two sources have nerve repair functions, it is not clear why the two different sources of olfactory ensheathing cells have different therapeutic effects. Nicolas G. once studied that the genetic difference between the two cells and found that there are many genes related to wound repair and nerve regeneration(G. Nicolas et al., 2010). We have reason to guess that olfactory ensheathing cells from these two sources will also have a large difference in protein level. Our research group wants to use the current mature transcriptome and proteomic sequencing technologies to explore the difference between olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory bulb and olfactory mucosa, and explain why the two sources of olfactory ensheathing cells shows different therapeutic effects, hope to provide a new theoretical basis for future clinical treatment.

Project description:The goal of this project is to understand the etiology and pathology of host-pathogen interaction using high-throughput cellular phenotyping. By combining the expertise in pathogen biology, informatics and stem cell biology across the institute, this project will use targeted genetic modification in mouse embryonic stem cells to identify functions of host genes in innate immunity. We will also explore the biology of mouse embryonic stem cells and their differentiation into immune competent cells. To this end we will generate homozygous and inducible knockout lines in mouse embryonic stem cells, which will be differentiated into immune competent cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells. These will be subjected to a panel of immune challenge and stimulation assays to characterise the functions of the disrupted genes. To identify new functions for mammalian genes in innate immunity we will:\Generate a panel of homozygous inducible gene knockout mouse ES cell lines working from a list of ca. 80 candidate genes (MGP phenotyping and GWAS hits). \Scale up differentiation protocols for immune challenge and stimulation assays.\Benchmark in vitro differentiated ES cell models against primary immune cells from selected MGP mouse lines and eventually against human iPS cells.\Screen a panel of 30 genetically modified cell lines in immunological challenge and stimulation assays, defining phenotypes at the cellular level by high content imaging, biochemically by assaying cytokine production, and at the molecular level by transcriptome analysis.\Define novel gene functions in innate immunity through network analysis of gene expression data from all challenged cell lines.\In the longer term scale up the production and phenotyping of genetically modified cell lines (mouse or human as appropriate).This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:The epigenetic dysregulation of tumor suppressor genes is a major driver of human carcinogenesis. We have combined genome-wide methylation analyses with functional screening to identify novel candidate tumor suppressor genes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We find that the dual-specificity phosphatase DUSP4 is aberrantly silenced in nodal and extranodal DLBCL due to promoter hypermethylation; ectopic expression of wild type DUSP4, but not of a phosphatase-deficient mutant, dephosphorylates c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) and induces apoptosis in DLBCL cells. JNK inhibition prevents DLBCL survival in vitro and in vivo, and synergizes strongly with inhibitors of chronic active B-cell receptor signaling. Our results provide a mechanistic basis for the clinical development of JNK inhibitors in DLBCL, alone or in synthetic lethal combinations. A methylation profiling data set related to this experiment was also deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-2926: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-2926/

Project description:The definition of cell identity is a central problem in biology. Single-cell RNA-seq provides a wealth of information regarding the developmental state of individual cells. However, better methods are needed to map the identity of single cells, especially during identity transitions. We have developed a quantitative classification method that is robust to expression noise and can detect primary and chimeric identities from single-cell RNA sequencing profiles. The method uses existing transcriptome repositories of grouped cell-types to define a set of optimal cell-identity markers, which are then used to define a cell identity metric. This metric accurately classified diverse cell identities in Arabidopsis root tips and human glioblastoma cells. We demonstrate the strength of the approach to resolve a dynamic developmental process by analyzing the identity of single cells captured from regenerating Arabidopsis roots following removal of their stem-cell-niche. We discover that, apart from new niche formation at the vicinity of the cut site, cells that are distant from the injury site also undergo a transient, partial collapse of identity during the regeneration and reorganization of the root, demonstrating the usefulness of a quantitative cell identity metric. Overall design: 4 Technical replicates (pooled-and-split single QC cells), 23 cells from the QC, 3 cells from the Stele, and 4 cells from the stele, 16h following root tip decapitation
