Transcriptomic analysis of wild-type microglia isolated from fluorescent reporter mice

ABSTRACT: Microglia isolated from tamoxifen-inducible Cx3cr1 cre mice harboring expression of a ZsGreen transgene in the ROSA26 locus were analyzed by RNA-sequencing. The purpose of this dataset is to serve as experimental controls as part of broader analyses of microglial-mediated neuroprotection during CNS infection with Toxoplasma gondii.

Project description:Tymoshenko2015 - Genome scale metabolic model - ToxoNet1 This model is described in the article: Metabolic Needs and Capabilities of Toxoplasma gondii through Combined Computational and Experimental Analysis. Tymoshenko S, Oppenheim RD, Agren R, Nielsen J, Soldati-Favre D, Hatzimanikatis V. PLoS Comput. Biol. 2015 May; 11(5): e1004261 Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is a human pathogen prevalent worldwide that poses a challenging and unmet need for novel treatment of toxoplasmosis. Using a semi-automated reconstruction algorithm, we reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic model, ToxoNet1. The reconstruction process and flux-balance analysis of the model offer a systematic overview of the metabolic capabilities of this parasite. Using ToxoNet1 we have identified significant gaps in the current knowledge of Toxoplasma metabolic pathways and have clarified its minimal nutritional requirements for replication. By probing the model via metabolic tasks, we have further defined sets of alternative precursors necessary for parasite growth. Within a human host cell environment, ToxoNet1 predicts a minimal set of 53 enzyme-coding genes and 76 reactions to be essential for parasite replication. Double-gene-essentiality analysis identified 20 pairs of genes for which simultaneous deletion is deleterious. To validate several predictions of ToxoNet1 we have performed experimental analyses of cytosolic acetyl-CoA biosynthesis. ATP-citrate lyase and acetyl-CoA synthase were localised and their corresponding genes disrupted, establishing that each of these enzymes is dispensable for the growth of T. gondii, however together they make a synthetic lethal pair.
