Description
The aim of this study was to establish an in vitro model to investigate the initial stages of human implantation based on co-culture of a) immortalized cells representing the receptive (Ishikawa) or non-receptive (HEC-1-A) endometrial epithelium with b) spheroids of a trophoblastic cell line (JEG-3) modified to express green fluorescent protein. After co-culturing Ishikawa cells with trophoblast spheroids, 310 and 298 genes increased or decreased their expression compared to non-co-cultured Ishikawa control cells, respectively; only 9 genes (5 increased and 4 decreased) were differentially expressed in HEC-1-A upon co-culture with trophoblast spheroids. Compared to HEC-1-A, the trophoblast challenge to Ishikawa cells differentially regulated the expression of 495 genes. In summary, upon co-culture with the trophoblast spheroids, non-receptive epithelium is characterized by a muted transcriptional response which in turn fails to activate the full transcriptional response that trophoblast spheroids undergo when co-cultured with receptive epithelium. Overall design: GFP expressing JEG-3 spheroids were co-cultured with confluent monolayers of receptive Ishikawa or non-receptive HEC-1-A epithelia. After 48 hours of co-culture, GFP+ (trophoblast JEG-3 spheroid cells) and GFP- cell fractions (receptive Ishikawa or non-receptive HEC-1-A epithelial cells) were isolated by fluorescence-activated flow cytometry (FACS). The specific transcriptional changes of the isolated cell populations were analyzed by RNA-seq profiling. Statistical significance of gene expression differences was set at an absolute log2 fold change (log2FC) =1 and an adjusted p-value <0.05.

Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)
Description
Numerous studies have shown that resistance to oxidative stress is crucial to stay healthy and to reduce the adverse effects of aging. Accordingly, nutritional interventions using antioxidant food-grade compounds or food products are currently an interesting option to help improve health and quality of life in the elderly. Live lactic acid bacteria (LAB) administered in food, such as probiotics, may be good antioxidant candidates. Nevertheless, information about LAB-induced oxidative stress protection is scarce. To identify and characterize new potential antioxidant probiotic strains, we have developed a new functional screening method using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as host. C. elegans were fed on different LAB strains (78 in total) and nematode viability was assessed after oxidative stress (3mM and 5mM H2O2). One strain, identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-3690, protected worms by increasing their viability by 30% and, also, increased average worm lifespan by 20%. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of C. elegans fed with this strain and showed that increased lifespan is correlated with differential expression of the DAF-16/insulin-like pathway, which is highly conserved in humans.

Description
The generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells 1-4 has spawned unprecedented opportunities for investigating the molecular logic that underlies cellular pluripotency and reprogramming, as well as for obtaining patient-specific cells for future clinical applications. However, both prospects are hampered by the low efficiency of the reprogramming process. Here, we show that juvenile human primary keratinocytes can be efficiently reprogrammed to pluripotency by retroviral transduction with Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. Keratinocyte-derived iPS (KiPS) cells appear indistinguishable from human embryonic stem (hES) cells in colony morphology, growth properties, expression of pluripotency-associated transcription factors and surface markers, as well as in vitro and in vivo differentiation potential. Notably, keratinocyte reprogramming to pluripotency is, at least, 100-fold more efficient and 2-fold faster than that of fibroblasts. This increase in reprogramming efficiency allowed us to expand the practicability of the technology and to generate KiPS cells from single plucked hairs from adult individuals.

Description
The comparison of trancriptomes was part of the study by Pfender, Kuznetsov, Pasternak et al, titled: "Live imaging RNAi screen reveals genes essential for meiosis in mammalian oocytes". The goal was to check if the oocytes cultured in vitro in follicles (for RNAi studies) correspond to real gametes obtained directly from mice (in vivo). Apart from functional experiments showing that they can be fertilized and develop into an embryo, we also compared transcriptomes of those oocytes. Overall design: 3 samples of 50 oocytes were collected for both groups of in vitro and in vivo grown oocytes.

Description
Using mice with targeted gene mutations, we identify (1) distinct roles for different canonical Wnt signaling components in central nervous system (CNS) vascular development and in the specification of the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers (BBB and BRB) and (2) differential sensitivities of the vasculature in various CNS regions to perturbations in canonical Wnt signaling components. We find nearly equivalent roles for Lrp5 and Lrp6 in brain vascular development and barrier maintenance but a dominant role for Lrp5 in the retinal vasculature, an especially high sensitivity of the BBB in the cerebellum and pons/interpeduncular nuclei to decrements in canonical Wnt signaling, and plasticity in the barrier properties of mature CNS vasculature. Brain and retinal vascular defects caused by loss of Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling can be fully rescued by stabilizing beta-catenin, and loss of beta-catenin’s transcriptional activation domain or expression of a dominant negative Tcf4 recapitulates the vascular development and barrier defects seen with loss of receptor, co-receptor, or ligand, indicating that Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling acts predominantly by beta-catenin-dependent transcriptional regulation. This work strongly supports a model in which identical or nearly identical canonical Wnt signaling mechanisms mediate neural tube and retinal vascularization and maintain the BBB and BRB. Overall design: Total retina RNA from P10 WT, NdpKO, Ctnnb1flex3/+;Pdgfb-CreER, and NdpKO;Ctnnb1flex3/+;Pdgfb-CreER mice was subjected to RNAseq

Description
We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) during the in vitro transition of mouse ESCs (mESCs) from a naïve pluripotent state into epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs), a primed pluripotent state. We derived pseudotime expression trajectories to investigate transcript dynamics of key metabolic regulators, with the aim to identify metabolic pathways that potentially impact on early embryonic cell state transitions. Overall design: Single-cell RNA-seq during the in vitro differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in 2i culture conditions (time point t=0h) into epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) at time points t=24h and t=48h.
