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 SamplesTranscriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) provide insight into cellular behavior by describing interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and their gene targets. The Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (ATAC)-seq, coupled with transcription-factor motif analysis, provides indirect evidence of chromatin binding for hundreds of TFs genome-wide. Here, we propose methods for TRN inference in a mammalian setting, using ATAC-seq data to influence gene expression modeling. We rigorously test our methods in the context of T Helper Cell Type 17 (Th17) differentiation, generating new ATAC-seq data to complement existing Th17 genomic resources (plentiful gene expression data, TF knock-outs and ChIP-seq experiments). In this resource-rich mammalian setting our extensive benchmarking provides quantitative, genome-scale evaluation of TRN inference combining ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data. We refine and extend our previous Th17 TRN, using our new TRN inference methods to integrate all Th17 data (gene expression, ATAC-seq, TF KO, ChIP-seq). We highlight new roles for individual TFs and groups of TFs (“TF-TF modules”) in Th17 gene regulation. Given the popularity of ATAC-seq (a widely adapted protocol with high resolution and low sample input requirements), we anticipate that application of our methods will improve TRN inference in new mammalian systems and be of particular use for rare, uncharacterized cell types.

View SamplesPurpose: The goals of this study are to compare in vitro polarized T helper 17 cell transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in the presence or absence of recombinant murine SAA1 Methods: Th17 mRNA profiles of 96hrs in vitro cultured T helper 17 cells treated with vehicle or recombinant murine SAA1 were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina RapidRun. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and TopHat followed by CuffDiff. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: 177 genes were changed more than 2 folds in the presence of recombinant murine SAA1. Conclusions: Our study suggest that SAA1 could augment subset of Th17 transcription program in vitro. Overall design: mRNA profiles of 48hr in vitro cultured Th17 from wild type (WT) mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina RapidRun.

View SamplesPurpose: The goals of this study are to compare mRNAs expressed by Th17 cells and ILC3s in small intestine of lamina propria of mice. Methods: Small intestine were digested with collagenase, dispase, and DNase. Percoll enriched lamina propria Th17 and ILCs sorted by BD ARIA II. Total RNA were harvested and sequencing were performe. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and TopHat followed by CuffDiff. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: Small intestine Th17 cells and ILCs exhibit differential gene expression profiles. Overall design: compare mRNAs expressed by Th17 cells and ILC3s in small intestine of lamina propria of mice.

View SamplesType 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells are induced by interleukin-27 (IL-27) and have critical roles in the control of autoimmunity and resolution of inflammation. Here, we show that the transcription factors IRF1 and BATF are induced early during treatment with IL-27 and are required for the differentiation and function of Tr1 cells in vitro and in vivo. Epigenetic and transcriptional analyses reveal that both transcription factors influence chromatin accessibility and expression of genes required for Tr1 cell function. IRF1 and BATF deficiencies uniquely alter the chromatin landscape, suggesting that these factors serve a pioneering function during Tr1 cell differentiation. Overall design: Transcriptinal analysis of IL27-induced of WT, Irf1 KO, and Batf KO cells
