Project description:We employed the Chromium GEM-X single-cell RNA sequencing platform by 10x Genomics to investigate the effects of the GLS1 inhibitor, BPTES, on the kidney single-cell transcriptome of 19- to 20-month-old wild-type male mice. Previous studies have identified GLS1 as a potential senolytic reagent capable of eliminating senescent cells. Our aim was to determine which cell populations are selectively removed by GLS1 inhibition in aged mice and to assess how this intervention alters intercellular interactions across different cell types.
Project description:Here, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of human fetal kidney tissue samples from 2 individual biological specimens (13.7 and 15.4 weeks gestation). The data set is composed of approximately 10,000 cells from diverse renal lineages. Lineages captured include nephron progenitors, epithelium, stroma, immune, and endothelium.
Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids have potential for disease modelling and regenerative medicine purposes. However, they lack a functional vasculature and remain immature in in vitro culture. Here, we transplanted kidney organoids at day 7+12 of differentiation in the coelomic cavity of chicken embryos and then compared them to their respective untransplanted controls at d7+13 and d7+20 using scRNAseq and imaging modalities. We demonstrate vascularization and enhanced maturation of transplanted kidney organoids.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of EZH2 inhibitor (EZH2i) PF-06821497 on CD45+ cells isolated from MC38 tumors at day 17 post implantation. Mice were either treated for 7 days prior to endpoint or 16 days prior to endpoint with the EZH2i or with vehicle control. CD45+ cells were isolated and scRNA-Seq was performed on cells
Project description:This study used scRNA-seq to characterise the transcriptome in 26 day-old iPSC-derived kidney organoids, treated with TGFB1, the EzH2 inhibitor GSK343, a combination of both or a vehicle control for 48 hours (days 24-26) before harvesting. 2 organoids per condition were pooled and dissociated using a cold-active protease. Nuclei were extracted and profiled using the 10X Genomics Single-cell 3' V3 kits. Libraries were sequenced using paired-end reads on an Illumina NextSeq 500. Initial processing was performed using CellRanger v3.1.0 (10X Genomics).
Project description:We treated 6 week-old KPC mice with vehicle or CA-4948 and perform scRNASeq to assess transcriptomic changes in CAFs and immune cells
