View SamplesDeficiency of the micronutrient zinc is a widespread condition in agricultural soils, generating a negative impact on crop quality and yield. Nevertheless, there is insufficient knowledge on the regulatory and molecular mechanisms underlying the plant response to inadequate zinc nutrition.

View SamplesWe induced mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into B progenitors in in vitro culture. We previously reported that B cells derived from extra-embryonic yolks sac (YS) belong to innate-like B-1 cells, not conventional B-2 cells. Since ES cell differentiation into Blood lineage, it recapitulates YS hematopoiesis, we hypothesized that B cells produced by mouse ESCs belong to B-1 cells as well. We transplanted ESC-derived B-progenitor cells into immunodeficient mice and confirmed that ES-derived B cells differentiate into only B-1 and marginal zone B cells, not B-2 cells in vivo. We preformed gene expression profiles by RNA sequencing comparing ESC-derived, YS-derived, fetal liver derived, and adult bone marrow derived B progenitor cells to see their characteristics. Overall design: We compared gene expression profllings among B-1 progeniotors derived from ES, Yolk sac, and fetal liver, and B-2 progenitors from adult bone marrow. We isolated CD19+B220+ B-progenitor cells obtained from in vitro culture of mouse ES cells, yolk sac, and fetal liver (all B-1 biased) and bone marrow (B-2 biased) and performed RNA sequencing Please note that Flk1 is a marker of mesoderm that differentiate into endothelial cells and blood cells and VEcad (VE-cadherin) is a marker of endothelial cells. It is known that all hematopoietic cells are derived from lateral mesoderm (Flk1+) cells via endothelial phenotype (VE-cad+). Therefore, we differentiated ESCs into Flk1+ mesoderm or VEcad+ endothelial cells and isolated them by sorting (as indicated in the sample source name field), and replated them onto OP9-stromal cells that support B cell development.

View SamplesHunger, driven by negative energy balance, elicits the search for and consumption of food. In mammals, this is orchestrated principally through the activity of neurons in the hypothalamus, direct manipulation of which can potently drive food intake. However, the neural circuits outside of the hypothalamus that control feeding are poorly understood. Here, we identify two functionally opponent cell types within the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), marked by the vesicular transporters for GABA (Vgat) or glutamate (VGLUT3), that project to many known feeding centers and rapidly control feeding. We find that DRNVgat neurons drive, while DRNVGLUT3 neurons suppress, food intake. Furthermore, through the development and application of cell type-specific molecular profiling technologies, we identify many differentially expressed transmembrane receptors, which may represent unique druggable targets. Local application of agonists for these receptors potently modulates feeding, recapitulating the effects of cell-specific manipulations. Together, these data establish a key role for the DRN in controlling food intake and add an important anatomic site that controls energy balance. Overall design: Paired - Inputs and IPs; Unpaired for Vgat/VGLUT3 comparison

View SamplesA growing body of evidence points to the essential role of bone marrow (BM) tumor microenvironment in Multiple Myeloma (MM) maintenance and progression. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are one of the most important players in this scenario. Through direct and indirect interactions, these cells support MM cells by promoting increase of proliferation, migration, survival, and drug resistance. Additionally, an increasing number of evidence has been demonstrating that MSC from MM patients (MM-MSC) have several abnormalities when compared with their normal counterpart from normal donors (ND-MSC). Therefore, the aimed of our study was to explore the differences between MM-MSC and ND-MSC through gene expression analysis.

View SamplesGata2, a zinc finger TF, is essential for the generation and survival of HSCs in the embryo and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AML, yet the requirement for Gata2 in adult HSCs and LSCs remains unclear. Using a conditional mouse model where Gata2 was deleted specifically in hematopoietic cells, we show that knockout of Gata2 leads to a rapid and complete cell-autonomous loss of adult HSCs. In Meis1a/Hoxa9 driven AML, deletion of Gata2 impedes maintenance and self-renewal of LSCs. We then performed RNA-seq from sorted control and Gata2 KO LSCs (CD45.2+ c-Kit+) after pIpC treatment in transplanted mice. Overall design: Wild Type and Gata2-/- Meis1a/Hoxa9 LSCs were harvested from mice 24 days after pIpC administration
