Description
Individual organisms age at different rates, however, it remains unclear how aging alters the properties of individual cells. Here we show that zebrafish pancreatic beta-cells exhibit heterogeneity in both gene expression and proliferation with age. Individual beta-cells show marked variability in transcripts involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress, inhibition of growth factor signaling and inflammation, including NF-kB signaling. Using a reporter line, we show that NF-kB signaling is indeed activated heterogeneously with age. Notably, beta-cells with higher NF-kB activity proliferate less compared to neighbors with lower activity. Furthermore, NF-kB-signalinghigh beta-cells from younger islets upregulate socs2, a gene naturally expressed in beta-cells from older islets. In turn, socs2 can inhibit proliferation cell-autonomously. NF-kB activation correlates with the recruitment of tnfa-expressing immune cells, pointing towards a role for the islet microenvironment in this activity. We propose that aging is heterogeneous across individual beta-cells and identify NF-kB signaling as a marker of heterogeneity. Overall design: We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) coupled with next generation RNA-Sequencing to profile beta-cells from 3 month post fertilization and 1 year post fertilization animals. total RNA was extracted from FACS sorted beta-cells using Quick-RNA MicroPrep kit (R1050 Zymo Research). Sequencing was performed on llumina HiSeq2500 in 2x75bp paired-end mode. Reads were splice-aligned to the zebrafish genome, GRCz10, using HISAT2. htseq-count was used to assign reads to exons thus eventually getting counts per gene.

Affymetrix Human Gene 1.1 ST Array (hugene11st)
Description
Background: Studies in mice have shown that PPAR is an important regulator of lipid metabolism in liver and a key transcription factor involved in the adaptive response to fasting. However, much less is known about the role of PPAR in human liver. Here we set out to study the function of PPAR in human liver via analysis of whole genome gene regulation in human liver slices treated with the PPAR agonist Wy14643.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Little is known about the early transcriptional events in innate immune signaling in immature and tolerogenic monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), the professional antigen-presenting cells of our immune system. TLR ligands usually induce a proinflammatory transcriptional response, whereas IL10 and/or dexamethasone induce a more tolerogenic phenotype.
Publication Title
MicroRNA genes preferentially expressed in dendritic cells contain sites for conserved transcription factor binding motifs in their promoters.

Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 expression beadchip
Description
One major class of anti-cancer drugs targets topoisomerase II to induce DNA double-strand breaks and cell death of fast growing cells. In vitro experiments showed that doxorubicin can induce histone eviction as well as DNA damage, while etoposide can only induce DNA damage. Here, we compare the transcription responses of different tissues to doxorubicin or etoposide treatment in vivo.

Description
Background: The bile acid-activated farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor regulating bile acid, glucose and cholesterol homeostasis. Obeticholic acid (OCA; also known as INT-747 or 6-ethyl-chenodeoxycholic acid), a promising drug for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and type 2 diabetes, activates FXR. Mouse studies demonstrated that FXR activation by OCA (INT-747) alters hepatic expression of many genes. However, no data are available on the effects of OCA in human liver. Here, we generated gene expression profiles in human precision-cut liver slices (hPCLS) after treatment with OCA.
