Project description:We performed single cell transcriptomic profiling of induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (iAT2). iPSCs stably expressed CRISPRi (dCas9-KRAB) under the control of doxycyline. iAT2s were transduced with a lentivirus expressing gRNA targeting the transcriptional start site of DSP. Cells were treated with or without doxycyline to intiate CRISPRi-knockdown. Prior to capture, cells were labelled with hashing antibodies (HTO). Cells were captured for 10x Genomics Single cell capture (V3 protocol), and GEX and HTO libraries were sequenced. HTODemux function was used to demultiplex the samples. Knockdown of DSP caused cells to cluster separately from wild-type cells.

Project description:We performed bulk transcriptomic profiling of induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (iAT2). iPSCs stably expressed CRISPRi (dCas9-KRAB) under the control of doxycyline. iAT2s were transduced with a lentivirus expressing gRNA targeting the transcriptional start site of ADGRG6. Cells were treated with or without doxycyline to intiate CRISPRi-knockdown. Cells were plated at an air-liquid interface, then subsequently exposed to air or 5% cigarette smoke using a VitroCell smoke robot. Cells were harvested for bulk RNA sequencing 8 hours post cigarette smoke exposure
Project description:we performed lentiviral CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) by recruiting dCas9 fused with the KRAB domain to the CSMD1 enhancer (fam3) in the neuronal precursor cell line – Lund human mesencephalic (LUHMES). Given that the expression of CSMD1 was not detectable in LUHMES cells we differentiated these cells into neurons. Differentiated neurons with CRISPRi of CSMD1 enhancer showed significantly higher expression of CSMD1 than control.
Project description:Assess the on- and off-target effects of dox-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 and CRISPRi constructs in a human iPS cell line. Transcript quantification of 3 cell lines, each plus or minus doxycycline and with or without specific single guide RNAs (sgRNAs), with 2 biological replicates each.
Project description:We develop a system for bidirectional epigenetic editing (CRISPRai), in which orthogonal activating (CRISPRa) and repressive (CRISPRi) perturbations are applied simultaneously to multiple loci the same cell. We perform ATAC-seq on CRISPRi perturbed Jurkat T cells to investigate chromatin accessibility changes upon perturbation of individual regulatory elements.
Project description:To gain insight into possible processes that require m6A for their function, METTL3 was knocked down (KD) in HepG2 cells by siRNA transfections Differential expression analysis of METTL3 KD versus mock-transfected HepG2 cells, in 2 biological replicates
