Synovial Fibroblast 1: Secretion response of primary human synovial fibroblast samples from one healthy and one rheumatoid arthritis donor to a panel of 10 stimuli and 10 small molecule inhibitors
Project description:Each of 70 cell samples either at the control condition or treated with FDA-approved cancer drugs is sequenced by the single-ended random-primed mRNA-sequencing method with a read length of 100 base pairs, and a total of 70 raw sequence data files in the FASTQ format are generated. These sequence data files are then analyzed by a high-performance computational pipeline and ranked lists of gene signatures and biological processes related to drug-induced cardiotoxicity are generated for each drug. The raw sequence datasets and the analysis results have been carefully controlled for data quality, and they are made publicly available at the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database repository of NIH. As such, this broad drug-stimulated transcriptomi dataset is valuable for the prediction of drug toxicities and their mitigations.
Project description:Each of 914 cell samples either at the control condition or treated with FDA-approved cancer drugs is sequenced by the single-ended 3'-DGE mRNA-sequencing method with a read length of 46 base pairs, and a total of 914 raw sequence data files in the FASTQ format are generated. These sequence data files are then analyzed by a high-performance computational pipeline and ranked lists of gene signatures and biological processes related to drug-induced cardiotoxicity are generated for each drug.

Project description:Cryptococcus neoformans is a major cause of fungal meningitis in immunocompromised individuals worldwide. Studies have categorized the transcriptome of Cryptococcus under various stresses, such as temperature, nitric oxide, iron, antifungal drugs and macrophages. However, an accurate and comprehensive transcriptome profiling of C. neoformans in the human host may allow an even better understanding of its survival and disease production. In this study, we isolated RNA from yeast cells taken directly from CSF of two individuals with cryptococcal meningitis. RNA-Seq was used to generate and compare transcriptional profiles from those yeast cells exposed to three environmental conditions. Under same conditions, similar expression patterns were found between the two strains with different genotypes. Yeast cells from in vivo CSF appear to be more metabolically active compared to those exposed to ex vivo CSF. Moreover, genes that were identified as significantly up-regulated in both ex vivo CSF and in vivo CSF conditions compared with growth in YPD appear to be important for the virulence of Cryptococcus. In the central nervous system, differentially expressed genes, single nucleotide variants and novel genes between strains were identified to emphasize that strains have consensus expression patterns but they do have their unique features. Genes with transporter functions were found to be enriched in the regulated transcripts demonstrating this important function of yeasts under host stress. These findings provide the platform for further interrogation into how this yeast survives in humans to provide identification of possible antifungal target(s) and/or genetic signatures to predict outcome. Examination of mRNA expression levels under three different conditions of two different strains with different genotypes
Project description:PSC is a chronic inflammatory condition of the biliary tree causing biliary strictures and fibrosis and predisposes to cholangiocarcinoma. Traditionally it is considered a primary disorder of the bile duct epithelia. Here we investigate whether injury to the arterial blood supply may contribute to PSC. Hepatic arteries were collected from 8 patients at the time of liver transplantation: 4 with PSC and 4 disease controls. Samples were used for RNA-sequencing, differential expression and pathways analyses.
