Project description:We have obtained fibroblast cultures from old adult human donors, including Alzheimer patients. The fibroblasts were reprogrammed into directly induced neurons (iNs) to serve as an adult-like and age-equivalent model for aging and neurodegeneration. We also generated iPSCs and rejuvenated iPSC-derived induced neurons from a subset of the same cohort as controls. The cells were analyzed using several assays, including mRNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq and DNA methylation EPIC array analysis.

Project description:A cross tissue transcriptional comparison of human ILC3 isolated from non-inflamed lymph nodes (LN) and spleens, inflamed tonsils and the peripheral blood (PB). Using uniform gating and high-purity cell-sorting, ILC3 were sorted as Lineage(CD3,CD19,CD34,CD14,CD94)-CD45intCD127+CRTH2-CD117+. From LN, spleen, tonsils and PB, NKp44- ILC3 were isolated and, in addition, NKp44+ ILC3 were sorted from spleen and tonsils. RNA quality was measured on a RNA 6000 Pico Kit (Agilent Technologies) using a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). 100 pg high-quality RNA was isolated and cDNA was generated using the SMART-Seq (v3) Ultra Low Input RNA Kit (Clontech) with 15 cycles of amplification. Amplified and Covaris-fragmented cDNA was quality-checked on a High Sensitivity DNA chip (Agilent Technologies) and further processed according the TruSeq Nano DNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina). Data was processed as follows: SMARTer adapters were trimmed with cutadapt and the resulting sequences were aligned to the human RefSeq transcriptome using 14 TopHat2 (Kim et al., 2013). Normalization and quantification was performed using Cufflinks (Trapnell et al., 2012). FPKM counts were determined per gene with HTSeq-count. Raw data has been deposited at the European Genome-Phenome Archive (www.ebi.ac.uk/ega) under accession EGAS00001002636.

Project description:Excitatory synapses of principal hippocampal neurons are frequently located on dendritic spines. The dynamic strengthening or weakening of individual inputs results in a great structural and molecular diversity of dendritic spines. Active spines with large Ca2+-transients are frequently invaded by a single protrusion from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is dynamically transported into spines by the actin-based motor myosin V. An increase in synaptic strength often correlates with stable anchoring of the ER, followed by the formation of the spine apparatus organelle. Here we characterize the newly identified interaction of myosin V with the Ca2+-sensor caldendrin, a brain-specific homolog of the well-known myosin V interactor calmodulin. While calmodulin is an essential activator of myosin V motor function, we found that caldendrin acts as an inhibitor of processive myosin V movement. We propose that caldendrin transforms myosin into a stationary F actin tether, and show that in mouse and rat hippocampal neurons, caldendrin regulates spine apparatus localization to a subset of dendritic spines through a myosin V-dependent pathway.

Project description:Germ cell tumors (GCT) originate from germ cells at different developmental stages (GCT type I – V) They are thought to inherit their methylation profile from (early embryonic) germ cells which undergo a characteristic epigenetic “reset” during maturation. This study aims to provide insight into the developmental timing and underlying biology of the various subtypes of GCTs and their (embryonic) cells of origin by identifying specific and global methylation differences between GCT subtypes. In total, 91 type I-IV GCTs and four cell lines were profiled using the Illumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (450K) platform. The data were pre-processed using a validated pipeline and analyzed using an in-house generated extension of the annotation manifest. Marked methylation differences were identified between GCT subtypes both on the global and local level (i.e. differentially methylated regions, imprinting control regions, promoters, etc). GCT subtypes indeed show major similarities to specific stages of (early) developing embryonic germ cells with regard to their methylation profile. The extended annotation manifest for the Illumina 450K platform and methylation datasets are readily available on GEO (GEO accession: GSE58538, GPL18809), providing an integrated hypothesis generating data source for future research. 91 germ cell tumors of various histologies were investigated for their methylation profile. Methylation detection was performed using Illumina’s HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. 14 type I teratomas (TE) were included of which 6 were located sacral (3 male: I.TE.s.m; 3 female: I.TE.s.f), 4 were located in the testis (I.TE.t) and 3 were located in the ovary (I.TE.o). 30 pure embryonal carcinomas (EC) were included as well as 21 mixed non seminomas (mNS). 12 seminomas of the testis (SE) were included as well as 4 dysgerminomas (their couterpart in the ovary). Finally, 4 spermatocytic seminomas (SS) and three dermoid cysts were analyzed. For a detailed overview the histological classification of germ cell tumors please see the publication linked to this data or associated literature [1-3]. Four cell lines were included, al modelling type II GCTs. Cell lines derived from EC include NT2[4-8], NCCIT [5, 9] and 2102EP[4-8]. TCam-2 closely resembles SE [10-12]. 1. Oosterhuis, J.W. and L.H.

Project description:Single-cell transcriptomics was performed to investigate the bone marrow NK cell compartment of myeloma patients at diagnosis (n=19), during treatment (n=21) and at relapse (n=6). The bone marrow of myeloma patients is characterized by a reduction in conventional cytotoxic NK cells that persists throughout treatment. We show in 20% of newly diagnosed myeloma patients that an altered balance between cytotoxic and cytokine-producing NK cells translates into a reduced cytotoxic ability in response to therapeutic antibodies. The relative loss of cytotoxic NK cells persists at relapse and is accompanied by an expansion of IFN-responsive NK cells. These findings reveal previously unappreciated alterations in bone marrow NK cell composition and highlight the importance of understanding the bone marrow immune system in patients receiving immunotherapies.

Project description:Platelets are central to the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI). How the platelet proteome is altered during MI is unknown. We sought to describe changes in the platelet proteome at the time of MI and identify potential mechanisms. Platelets from patients experiencing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) before and 3 days after treatment (n= 30), and a matched cohort of patients with severe stable coronary artery disease(CAD) prior to and 3 days after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, n=25) underwent quantitative proteomic analysis. Elevations of the alarmins S100A8 and S100A9 were detected at the time of STEMI compared with stable CAD (S100A8, FC = 2.00, FDR = 0.05; S100A9, FC = 2.28, FDR = 0.005). During STEMI, S100A8 mRNA and protein levels were correlated in platelets (R = 0.46, p = 0.012). To determine if protein synthesis occurs, activated platelets were incubated with 13C-labelled amino acids for 24 hours and analyzed by mass spectrometry. No incorporation was detected, consistent with the notion that protein synthesis in platelets is not a major contributor to the platelet proteome. Platelet abundance of S100A8 and A9 was strongly correlated with neutrophil abundance at the time of STEMI. When isolated platelets and neutrophils were co-incubated under quiescent and TRAP-6 activated conditions, release of S100A8 from neutrophils resulted in uptake of S100A8 by platelets. Leukocyte-to-platelet protein transfer, rather than protein synthesis, may occur in a thromboinflammatory environment such as STEMI, representing a potential new contributor in the innate immune pathogenesis of STEMI.

Project description:B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most prevailing childhood cancer. As predicated by its prenatal origin, infant B-ALL (iB-ALL) show a silent mutational landscape irrespective of the MLL rearrangement/status, suggesting that other regulatory mechanisms might be impaired in the context of the disease. Here we used the most recent Illumina MethylationEPIC Beadchip platform to describe the genome-wide DNA methylation changes observed in a total of 69 de novo MLL-AF4+, MLL-AF9+ and non-rearranged MLL iB-ALL leukemias uniformly treated according to Interfant 99/06 protocol. Please note that samples X8 and X9 (pool of B cells and BCP) correspond to samples 200340580160_R08C01 and 200340580161_R07C01 from study E-MTAB-6315, respectively.
