Project description:The gene expression of bone marrow Hdc-/- and WT (LSK, Lin-c-kit+Sca-1+) hematopoetic stem and progenitor cells were isolated from Hdc-/- or WT mice. Cells were sorted by the cell surface markers of LSK total RNA was isolated from sorted 2,000 HSPCs using the ARCTURUS PicoPure RNA isolation kit (Life Technologies). cDNA was amplified and libraries were constructed by using the SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA kit (Clontech Laboratories) and the Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation kit (Illumina) according to the respective manufacturer’s instructions. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform.
Project description:Bone marrow Hdc-GFP+/hiCD11b+Gr1lo vs Hdc-GFP+/hiCD11b+Gr1hi myeloid cells were isolated from bones from histidine decarboxylase (Hdc) green fluorescent protein (Hdc-GFP) mice. Hdc-GFP+/hiCD11b+Gr1hi cells and Hdc-GFP+/hiCD11b+Gr1/lo cells were sorted by combinations of GFP and myeloid cell surface markers CD11b and Gr1 and their differential mRNA expression compared with Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Bone marrow Hdc-GFPhi and Hdc-GFPlo HSPC (SLAM-LSK, Lin-c-kit+Sca-1+CD150+CD48-) HSCs were isolated from mouse femur and tibia from histidine decarboxylase (Hdc) green fluorescent protein (Hdc-GFP) mice. Hdc-GFPhi HSC and Hdc-GFPlo HSC cells were sorted by combinations of GFP and the cell surface markers of HSC. total RNA was isolated from sorted 2,500 HSPCs using ARCTURUS PicoPure RNA isolation kit (Life Technologies). cDNA was amplified and libraries were constructed by using SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA kit (Clontech Laboratories) and Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation kit (Illumina) according to manufacturer’s instructions respectively. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform.
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptome profile of mouse hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) from the bone marrow overexpressing the innate immune adaptor protein TIRAP to control vector expressing HSPC using RNA-Seq. Methods: mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) mice bone marrow overexpressing TIRAP or control vectors were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using the Illumina platform. RNA-Seq data were aligned using JAGuaR (v2.0.3), using the mm10 reference. Expression quantification was performed with Sailfish (v0.6.2), using RefSeq gene models. The differential expression analysis between TIRAP expressing bone marrow and control was performed using DESeq2 (v1.10.1). Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped approximately 92% sequenced reads on average per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10).
Project description:Differentially expressed genes of CD11b+Gr-1+ immature myeloid cells (IMCs) in the bone marrow and colonic tumor setting of histidine decarboxylase (HDC)-KO mice were examined by microarray (Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 array). Myeloid differentiation-related candidate genes were sought to be isolated and functionally studied. Total RNA of HDC-expressing CD11b+Gr-1+ IMCs of bone marrow were extracted from HDC-EGFP and HDC-EGFP/HDC-KO mice (3 mice in each group). CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) of colon tumor were sorted from 10-12 colon tumors of WT and HDC-KO mice (5 mice in each group), and pooled to extract total RNA for microarray studies. Two technical replicates for each of the four groups. Four sets of comparisons were performed to screen for upregulated or downregulated genes in the HDC-KO CD11b+Gr-1+ IMCs or MDSCs (experiment group) compared to the WT group: (1) HDC-expressing CD11b+Gr-1+ IMCs of bone marrow of HDC KO mice compared to bone marrow IMCs of WT mice; (2) CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSCs in tumors of HDC-KO mice compared to WT mice; (3) CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSCs of WT colon tumors compared to IMCs in the WT bone marrow; and (4) CD11b+Gr-1+ MDSCs of colon tumors of HDC-KO mice compared to IMCs in the bone marrow of HDC-KO mice.
