Project description:Through RNA sequencing of CD4+ Tmemory/effector cells derived from the synovium of JIA patients and healthy controls, we analyzed the JIA gene expression signature. Treatment of autoinflammatory site-derived patient T cells with the BET-inhibitor JQ1 inhibited immune-related super-enhancers and preferentially reduced disease-associated gene expression, including cytokine-related processes. RNA-sequencing of CD4+ memory/effector T cells derived from Healthy Controls (HC) and JIA patients upon JQ1 treatment.

Project description:With H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation we identified a disease-specific, inflammation-associated, (super-)enhancer signature in JIA patient synovial fluid-derived CD4+ memory/effector T cells. This signature consists of unique pathogenesis-associated epigenetic changes which extend beyond general T cell activation-induced alterations, indicating that disease-specific (super-)enhancers contribute to JIA pathogenesis. In addition, our analysis shows that there is a profound enrichment of JIA-related SNPs in (super-)enhancers in JIA patients compared to controls, illustrating the importance of these non-coding regions for disease pathogenesis.

Project description:The interleukin-23 (IL-23) pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of multiple chronic inflammatory disorders, however, inter-individual variability in IL-23-induced signal transduction in circulating human lymphocytes has not been well-defined. In this study, we observed marked, reproducible inter-individual differences in IL-23 responsiveness (measured by STAT3 phosphorylation) in peripheral blood CD8+CD45RO+ memory T and CD3+CD56+ NKT cells. To define mechanisms that might be contributing to the differential IL-23-induced STAT3 activation between individuals, we examined mRNA expression differences in CD8+CD45RO+ memory T cells between IL-23 responsive and non-responsive individuals. We analyzed unstimulated and IL-23 stimulated FACS sorted CD8+CD45RO+ memory T cells from two individuals demonstrating robust IL-23 responsiveness, and two individuals demonstrating low IL-23 responsiveness, using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Affymetrix Expression Console software. No techinical replicates were performed.

Project description:An early-differentiated CD8+ memory T cell subset with stem cell-like properties (TSCM) can be identified within the naïve-like T cell population by the expression of CD95/Fas. Based on experiments including exon- and gene-level expression analysis, we provide evidence that this subset of antigen-specific cells represents an early precursor of conventional central (TCM) and effector (TEM) memory CD8+ T cells with enhanced self-renewal capacity and proliferative potential. We identified 900 genes differentially expressed between major T cell subsets defined along with memory T cell commitment. Based on the analysis of these genes, CD95+ naïve T cells (TSCM) cluster closer to the CD8+ T memory compartment than to classical (CD95-) naïve T (TN) cells, and display an intermittent phenotype between classical TN and TCM cells in terms of all major T cell differentiation markers analyzed. Three healthy human blood donors provided lymphocyte-enriched apheresis blood for this study after informed consent. From all samples, total RNA was isolated using an RNEasy Micro kit (Qiagen), processed by Ambion’s WT expression kit, fragmented and labeled with a WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix), hybridized to WT Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix) and stained on a Genechip Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix), all according to the respective manufacturer's instructions. Samples represent "exon-level" and "gene-level" analyses.

Project description:We here systematically studied the interaction network of bone marrow cells. To this end, we micro-dissected many small interacting structures (cell doublets, triplets etc.) into single cells, and sequenced their mRNAs, to infer cell identity. After grouping the cells into cell types (based on the single-cell transcriptomes), we identified actual physical interactions that occurred more, or less, than what would be expected by chance. We compared the micro-dissected data to sorted hematopoietic stem cells. After mild dissociation of the bone marrow, we micro-dissected many small interacting structures (cell doublets, triplets etc.) into single cells, and sequenced their mRNAs. In addition, single hematopoietic stem cells were sorted (Lineage- Kit+ Sca1+ CD150+ CD48-) to sequence their transcriptome. In detail, the bone marrow was mildly flushed. Structures composed of about 10 to 20 cells were set apart. With needles and a micro-dissection microscope, we trimmed of smaller structures from these big structure. These smaller structures are mainly two to four cells attached together. These small structures were then further micro-dissected to single cells. The goal of doing these sequential dissections was to keep track of which cells were interacting with which. Each micro-dissected cell sample contains RNA-seq data for 96 single cells. Each single cells received a different barcode that allow us to entangle them, and to produce the processed .coutt.csv file. Each sorted hematopoietic stem cell sample represents a single cell. The processed data file expdata_BMJhscC.csv contains transcript counts for all analyzed cells.

Project description:In this study we studied the presence of tumor cells that underwent epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition within polyoma middle T antigen (PyMT) breast tumors. For this we dissociated tumors and isolated Ecad positive tumor cells by FACS sorting. We confirmed that PyMT tumors contain a small set of tumor cells that have undergone EMT in the primary tumor and that E-cadherin can be used as a marker on single cell level for mesenchymal status in this model. We isolated primary tumors from mice, dissociated the tumors and FACS-sorted for single Ecad positive tumor cells, after this we performed single cell sequencing of the cells.

Project description:Paneth cells (PCs) are long-lived secretory cells that reside at the bottoms of small intestinal crypts. Besides serving as niche cells for the neighboring Lgr5-positive stem cells, PCs secrete granules containing a broad spectrum of antimicrobial proteins, including lysozymes and defensins1. Here, we have used single-cell RNA sequencing to explore PC differentiation. We found a maturation gradient from early secretory progenitors to mature PCs, capturing the full maturation path of PCs. Moreover, differential expression of a subset of defensin genes in lysozyme-high PCs, e.g. Defa20, reveals at least two distinct stages of maturation. We traced Lgr5+ stem cells from Lgr5-CreERT2 C57Bl6/J mice bred to a Rosa26LSL-YFP reporter mice and sorted YFP+ cells 5 days, 3 weeks and 8 weeks after tamoxifen injection.

Project description:To understand organ (dys)function it is important to have a complete inventory of its cell types and the corresponding markers that unambiguously identify these cell types. This is a challenging task, in particular in human tissues, because unique cell-type markers are typically unavailable, necessitating the analysis of complex cell type mixtures. Transcriptome-wide studies on pancreatic tissue are typically done on pooled islet material. To overcome this challenge we sequenced the transcriptome of thousands of single pancreatic cells from deceased organ donors with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) allowing in silico purification of the different cell types. We identified the major pancreatic cell types resulting in the identification of many new cell-type specific and T2D-specific markers. Additionally we observed several subpopulations within the canonical pancreatic cell types, which we validated in situ. This resource will be useful for developing a deeper understanding of pancreatic biology and diabetes mellitus. Human cadaveric pancreata were used to extract islets of Langerhans, which were kept in culture until single-cell dispersion and FACS sorting. Single-cell transcriptomics was performed on live cells from this mixture using CEL-seq or on cells stained for CD63, CD13, TGFBR3 or CD24 and CD44. The RaceID algorithm was used to identify clusters of cells corresponding to the major pancreatic cell types and to mine for novel cell type-specific genes as well as subpopulations within the known pancreatic cell types.
