Project description:This study investigates how Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and high-fat diet (HFD) influence liver gene expression in mice. RNA sequencing was performed on liver samples from diet-induced obese male C57BL/6 mice that underwent either RYGB or sham surgery, followed by an 8-week post-operative period on either chow or HFD. Raw sequencing reads (FASTQ) and gene-level count data are provided to support investigation of RYGB- and diet-associated transcriptional changes in hepatic tissue.
Project description:Intervention type:DRUG. Intervention1:Huaier, Dose form:GRANULES, Route of administration:ORAL, intended dose regimen:20 to 60/day by either bulk or split for 3 months to extended term if necessary. Control intervention1:None.
Primary outcome(s): For mRNA libraries, focus on mRNA studies. Data analysis includes sequencing data processing and basic sequencing data quality control, prediction of new transcripts, differential expression analysis of genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathway database are used for annotation and enrichment analysis of up-regulated genes and down-regulated genes.
For small RNA libraries, data analysis includes sequencing data process and sequencing data process QC, small RNA distribution across the genome, rRNA, tRNA, alignment with snRNA and snoRNA, construction of known miRNA expression pattern, prediction New miRNA and Study of their secondary structure Based on the expression pattern of miRNA, we perform not only GO / KEGG annotation and enrichment, but also different expression analysis.. Timepoint:RNA sequencing of 240 blood samples of 80 cases and its analysis, scheduled from June 30, 2022..
Project description:The fungal skin disease chytridiomycosis has caused the devastating decline and extinction of hundreds of amphibian species globally, yet the potential for evolving resistance, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. We exposed 406 naïve, captive-raised alpine tree frogs (Litoria verreauxii alpina) to the aetiological agent Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in two concurrent and controlled infection experiments. We investigated (A) survival outcomes and clinical pathogen burdens between populations and clutches, and (B) individual host tissue responses to chytridiomycosis. Here we present multiple interrelated datasets associated with these exposure experiments, including animal signalment, survival and pathogen burden of 355 animals from Experiment A, and the following datasets related to 61 animals from Experiment B: animal signalment and pathogen burden; raw RNA-Seq reads from skin, liver and spleen tissues; de novo assembled transcriptomes for each tissue type; raw gene expression data; annotation data for each gene; and raw metabolite expression data from skin and liver tissues. These data provide an extensive baseline for future analyses.
Project description:Single cell-based studies have revealed tremendous cellular heterogeneity in stem cell and progenitor compartments, suggesting continuous differentiation trajectories with intermixing of cells at various states of lineage commitment and notable degree of plasticity during organogenesis. The hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system relies on a small endoderm progenitor compartment that gives rise to a variety of different adult tissues, including liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and extra-hepatic bile ducts. Experimental manipulation of various developmental signals in the mouse embryo underscored important cellular plasticity in this embryonic territory. This is also reflected in the existence of human genetic syndromes as well as congenital or environmentally-caused human malformations featuring multiorgan phenotypes in liver, pancreas and gallbladder. Nevertheless, the precise lineage hierarchy and succession of events leading to the segregation of an endoderm progenitor compartment into hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic structures are not yet established. Here, we combine computational modelling approaches with genetic lineage tracing to assess the tissue dynamics accompanying the ontogeny of the hepato-pancreato-biliary organ system. We show that a multipotent progenitor domain persists at the border between liver and pancreas, even after pancreatic fate is specified, contributing to the formation of several organ derivatives, including the liver. Moreover, using single-cell RNA sequencing we define a specialized niche that possibly supports such extended cell fate plasticity.
Project description:This study set out to globally compare the liver transcriptomes from 24-week old wild type (WT) and FBP1-deficient mice. Total RNA was isolated from 10 snap frozen liver tissue samples using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). 250~300 bp insert eukaryotic mRNA derived cDNA non-directional libraryRNA libraries were prepared using standard Illumina protocols. The sequencing were performed on Illumina Platform PE150, with 20M raw reads/sample.
Project description:Total RNA was extracted from WT or KO liver tumor tissues. RNA samples were analyzed by RNA sequencing based on the manufacturer’s protocols. Briefly, Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform was used to sequence the RNA samples for the subsequent generation of raw data. KEGG pathway and GSEA enrichment analysis were used for functional pathway analysis.

Project description:RNA-sequencing of liver tissue
Project description:We isolated single cells (using either liberase or collagenase A dissociation) from subcutaneous adipose tissue collected from abdominoplasty surgery, and healthy liver tissue adjacent to tumor from liver resection and ran 10X v2 3' scRNA Seq. We ran 3 channels for adipose (IRB 2007P002165/1(ORSP-3877)) and 4 channels for liver (IRB 02-240; ORSP 1702 and ORSP-2630 under ORSP-2169). Channels were merged and uploaded here. *Raw data files absent*
