Project description:Single clonal glandular stem cells derived from human parotid glands
Project description:Adult parotid gland RNA-seq libraries and embryonic submandibular gland RNA-seq libraries were created to examine the mRNA species present in these secretory glands, as part of a project to understand acinar glands in general.
Project description:As the largest salivary gland in oral cavity, the parotid gland plays an important role in initial digesting and lubricating food. The abnormal secretory function of parotid gland can lead to dental caries and oral mucosal inflammation. In recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been used to explore the heterogeneity and diversity of cells in various organs and tissues. However, the transcription profile of human parotid gland at single-cell resolution has not been reported yet. In this study, we constructed the cell atlas of human parotid gland using 10x Genomics platform. Characteristic gene analysis identified the biological functions of serous acinar cell populations in secreting digestive enzymes and antibacterial proteins. We revealed the specificity and similarity of parotid gland comparing to other digestive glands through comparative analyses of other published scRNA-seq datasets. We also identified the cell-specific expression of hub genes for Sjogren’s syndrome in human parotid gland by integrating the results of GWAS and bulk RNA-seq, which highlighted the importance of immune cell dysfunction in parotid Sjogren’s syndrome pathogenesis.
Project description:The aim of this study is characterize the gene expression of rat parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands, providing basic information for the salivary marker proteins.
Project description:we compared transcriptome expression levels between adipose MSC and hpGSC using RNA-sequence analysis, resulting that 17,703 genes (68.8%) were similarly expressed, but 3635 genes (14.1%) and 4,399 genes (17.1%) were elevated in MSC and hpGSC, respectively
Project description:We applied both single cell and bulk RNA-sequencing to characterize and identify uniqueness in gene expression of the mouse Parotid gland compared to other tissues including the submandibular gland
Project description:Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease posing a threat to the public health globally. Rabies virus (RABV) is excreted in the saliva of infected animals, and is primarily transmitted through bite contact. Salivary glands play an important role for virus propagation. However, the significance of salivary glands is less studied in RABV pathogenic mechanisms. To identify functionally important genes in the salivary glands, we employed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to establish and analyze mRNA expression profiles in parotid tissue infected with two RABV strains, CVS-11 and PB4. We map the transcriptome changes in response to RABV infection in parotid tissue for the first time. This work provides new clues to the study of RABV-affected salivary gland function and RABV transmission mechanisms in parotid tissue. And the salivary gland-enriched transcripts could be potential targets of interest for rabies disease control.
Project description:Translational frameworks to understand the chronic loss of salivary dysfunction that follows after clinical irradiation, and the development of regenerative therapies remain an unmet need. Advances in single cell (sc)RNAseq has made it possible to identify previously uncharacterized cell types within tissues and to uncover gene regulatory networks that mediate cell-cell communication and drive specific cell states. scRNAseq studies have been performed for virtually all major tissues including salivary glands; however, there are currently no scRNAseq studies on chronically irradiated salivary glands. Here, we present scRNAseq from control and irradiated parotid glands from mouse collected 10 months post-irradiation. We identify a previously uncharacterized population of epithelial cells in the gland defined by expression of Etv1, which could be a possible salivary precursor. Furthermore, our data suggests that CD8+ T-cells and secretory cells are the most transcriptionally affected during chronic injury with radiation, suggesting active immune involvement during chronic irradiation injury. Notably, scRNAseq of in vivo models of chronic IR injury has only been performed in liver, lung, and skin, and data is only publicly available for lung and skin. Thus, our study will also be an essential resource to better understand cell-specific responses to chronic irradiation in general.
