High endothelial venules (HEVs) are specialized blood vessels allowing recirculation of naïve lymphocytes through lymphoid organs. Here, using full length single-cell RNA sequencing, RNA-FISH, flow cytometry and immunohistofluorescence, we reveal the heterogeneity of HEVs in adult mouse peripheral lymph nodes (PLNs) under conditions of homeostasis, antigenic stimulation and after inhibition of lymphotoxin-b receptor (LTbR) signaling. We demonstrate that HEV endothelial cells are in an activated state during homeostasis, and we identify the genes characteristic of the differentiated HEV phenotype. We show that LTbR signaling regulates many HEV genes and pathways in resting PLNs, and that immune stimulation induces a global and temporary inflammatory phenotype in HEVs without compromising their ability to recruit naïve lymphocytes. Most importantly, we uncover differences in the regulation of genes controlling lymphocyte trafficking, Glycam1, Fut7, Gcnt1, Chst4, B3gnt3 and Ccl21a, that have implications for HEV function and regulation in health and disease. Overall design: Comparison of High Endothelial Cells and Blood Endothelial Cells from mouse lymph nodes under 4 different conditions with a total of 220 single cells.

View SamplesMutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most frequent cause of familial and sporadic Parkinsons disease (PD). Here, we investigated in parallel gene and microRNA transcriptome profiles of three different LRRK2 mouse models. Striatal tissue was isolated from adult LRRK2 knockout mice, as well as mice expressinghuman LRRK2 wildtype (hLRRK2-WT) or PD-associated R1441G mutation (hLRRK2-R1441G).

View SamplesLateral Organ Boundary Domain (LBD) transcription factors are specific of plants and are involved in the control of development. One LBD clade is related to the control of root development (Coudert et al., 2013, Mol. Biol. Evol. 30, 569-572). Belonging to this clade, CROWN ROOT LESS 1 controls the initiation of crown roots in rice (Inukai Plant Cell, 17, 1387-1396, Liu et al., 2005, Plant J., 43, 47-56). The aim of this study was to identify the genes that are regulated by CRL1.

View SamplesThe STOX1 transcription factor has been involved in a complex human disease of pregnancy, preeclampsia, in human families, and mouse models. However, its mode of action is still largely unknown. Overexpression of either the long (STOX1A) or the short (STOX1B) isoform was obtained in the BeWo villous trophoblast model, a cell line able to fuse in syncytiotrophoblast following induction by forskolin treatment. The effects at the transcriptional level are evaluated in every condition.

View SamplesMetastasis is the leading cause of death for cancer patients. Consequently it is imperative that we improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie progression of tumour growth towards malignancy. Advances in genome characterisation technologies have been very successful in identifying commonly mutated or misregulated genes in a variety of human cancers. However the difficulty in evaluating whether these candidate genes drive tumour progression remains a major challenge. Using the genetic amenability of Drosophila melanogaster we generated tumours with specific genotypes in the living animal and carried out a detailed systematic loss-of-function analysis to identify conserved genes that enhance or suppress epithelial tumour progression. This enabled the discovery of functional cooperative regulators of invasion and the establishment of a network of conserved invasion suppressors. This includes constituents of the cohesin complex, which can either promote individual or collective invasion, depending on the severity of effect on cohesin function.
