Project description:In this study, we performed single-cell transcriptional profiling of human embryonic and fetal gut samples obtained from 9 human embryos spanning ages 6-10 PCW and three regions (duo-jejunum, ileum and colon). Additionally, we profile mucosal biopsies from the terminal ileum of healthy children aged 4-12 years (n = 8) as well as a group of children newly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease (CD) (n = 7), a common form of IBD. Tissue samples were treated using an enzymatic dissociation protocol and single cell suspensions were then processed using the 3’v2 10x Genomics Chromium workflow. In a subset of samples, the intestinal epithelial cell fraction was enriched by performing magnetic bead sorting for EPCAM. In total, we generate single cell transcriptomes of ~90,000 primary human intestinal cells providing a rich resource and detailed roadmap. Using this data as well as scRNAseq profiles of human fetal gut derived organoids we describe embryonic and fetal epithelium composition, trace their differentiation dynamics and signaling partners, and provide links to regenerating Crohn’s disease epithelium.

Project description:We performed single-nucleus RNA-seq using 10X on 84 randomly sampled participants from the METabolic Syndrome In Men (METSIM) cohort. The purpose of the study was to characterize cell type composition changes associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Project description:Dysbiosis in the gut microbiota impacts several systemic diseases. One possible mechanism is the migration of perturbed intestinal immunocytes to extra-intestinal tissues. Combining the Kaede photoconvertible mouse model and single-cell genomics, we generated a detailed map of migratory trajectories from the colon, at baseline and during intestinal and extra-intestinal inflammation. All colonic lineages emigrated from the colon in an S1P-dependent manner, dominated by B lymphocytes with a large continuous circulation of follicular B cells, which carried a gut-imprinted transcriptomic signature. T cell emigration was more selective, with distinct groups of RORg+ cells and IEL-like CD160+ T cells in the spleen. Gut inflammation curtailed emigration, except for DCs disseminating to lymph nodes. Colon emigrating cells distributed differentially to tumor, skin inflammation, or arthritic synovium, the former dominated by myeloid cells in a chemokine-dependent manner. These results thus reveal specific cellular trails originating in the gut, influenced by microbiota, which can shape peripheral immunity.

Project description:The nonrandom distribution of meiotic recombination shapes patterns of inheritance and genome evolution, but chromosomal features governing this distribution are poorly understood. Formation of the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) that initiate recombination results in accumulation of Spo11 protein covalently bound to small DNA fragments. We show here that sequencing these fragments provides a genome-wide DSB map of unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. We use this map to explore the influence of large-scale chromosome structures, chromatin, transcription factors, and local sequence composition on DSB distributions. Our analysis supports the view that the recombination terrain is molded by combinatorial and hierarchical interaction of factors that work on widely different size scales. Mechanistic aspects of DSB formation and early processing steps are also uncovered. This map illuminates the occurrence of DSBs in repetitive DNA elements, repair of which can lead to chromosomal rearrangements. We discuss implications for evolutionary dynamics of recombination hotspots. We deep sequenced 4 samples of Spo11 oligos on Roche 454 platform. Three samples are technical replicates of Spo11 oligo products prepared from one meiotic culture and the fourth sample was prepared from an independent culture.

Project description:Understanding distinct gene expression patterns of normal adult and developing fetal human pancreatic a and b cells is crucial for developing stem cell therapies, islet regeneration strategies, and therapies designed to increase b cell function in patients with diabetes (type 1 or 2). Toward that end, we have developed methods to highly purify a, b, and d cells from human fetal and adult pancreata by intracellular staining for the cell-specific hormone content, sorting the sub-populations by flow cytometry and, using next generation RNA sequencing, we report on the detailed transcriptomes of fetal and adult a and b cells. We observed that human islet composition was not influenced by age, gender, or body mass index and transcripts for inflammatory gene products were noted in fetal b cells. In addition, within highly purified adult glucagon-expressing a cells, we observed surprisingly high insulin mRNA expression, but not insulin protein expression. This transcriptome analysis from highly purified islet a and b cell subsets from fetal and adult pancreata offers clear implications for strategies that seek to increase insulin expression in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. RNA-sequencing of highly purified human adult and fetal islet cell subset was performed using our newly developed method. Using this data, we can study and compare the detailed transcriptome or alpha and beta cells during development.

Project description:Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in cellular development and differentiation. A detailed map of the DNA methylation dynamics that occur during cell differentiation would contribute to decipher the molecular networks governing cell fate commitment. We used the most recent Illumina MethylationEPIC Beadchip platform to describe the genome-wide DNA methylation changes observed throughout hematopoietic maturation by analyzing multiple hematopoietic cell types at different developmental stages. We identified a plethora of DNA methylation changes that occur during human hematopoietic differentiation. Interestingly, we observed that T lymphocytes display a substantial enhancement of de novo CpG hypermethylation as compared to other hematopoietic cell populations.

Project description:Maintenance of cellular protein homeostasis requires controlled temporal and spatial protein degradation as well as the continuous removal of damaged proteins. Despite our detailed knowledge of the cellular proteolytic network, little is known about sequence and structural determinants that target proteins for elimination (termed “degrons”). Here we introduce a systematic approach to map degrons, either native or out-of-frame. We use a reporter-based high throughput degron competition assay, followed by deep sequencing analysis, to quantitatively evaluate the degradation potency of thousands of polypeptides originating from the yeast genome (degronome). We show that our assay is quantitative and recapitulates relative degradation rates in vivo. By applying our assay in cells with deletion of the E3 ligase Doa10p, we identify specific targets in a principal branch of the ubiquitin-mediated protein quality control (PQC) pathway. We further compare nuclear and cytosolic specific degrons and identify substantial variations between the degradation signals in these respective cellular compartments. Our results provide the first comprehensive map of the yeast degronome and identify hundreds of degradation signals that reside within open reading frames of native proteins. Based on the versatility and robustness of the system described herein we anticipate that it can be utilized in more complex in vivo studies in eukaryotic cells aimed at better understanding how proteolysis regulates various cellular functions.

Project description:Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with diseases of the colon including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the functional role of many of these SNPs is largely unknown and tissue-specific resources are lacking. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping identifies target genes of disease-associated SNPs. Here, we comprehensively map eQTLs in the human colon, assess their relevance for GWAS of colonic diseases and provide functional characterization.
