Description
Neural stem cells (NSC) derived from human parthenogenic stem cells (hpSC) have been observed to show stronger positive functional effects than hpSC-derived dopaminergic neuron precursors (DAP) in treatment of induced Parkinson Disease in animal models. RNAseq of the two types of cells were normalized and analyzed to compare gene expression profiles. Overall design: cDNA library of hpsC, NSC and DAP triplicates were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads were mapped to hg19 reference genome and hits that passed quality filters were analyzed for differential expression.

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
We identified DNAPK as one of the major proteins that physically interact with Autoimmune regulator (Aire). To establish physiological significance of DNAPK in Aire-driven expression of PTA genes in MECs, we utilized BM-reconstituted SCID mice (which express non functional DNAPK in their MECs) and RAG1 null mouse as a control.

Description
To analyze the impact of Aire on gene expression profile in a model cell line, we used 293T cells and transfected them either with an Aire expression plasmid pCMV-Aire (where mAire is driven by CMV promoter) or with a control plasmid pCMV2B.

- Affymetrix Drosophila Genome Array (drosgenome1)
Description
Embryos were collected, aged, mock-treated/treated with 40Gy gamma radiation, and allowed to recover for 1.5 hours. Targets from 3 sets of wild type (yw, w1118) and 2 sets of mutant (Dmp53NS) biological replicates were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Drosophila Genechip 1 arrays. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with radiation-responsive and Dmp53-dependent expression patterns.

Description
Background: In order to become functionally competent but harmless mediators of the immune system, T cells undergo a strict educational program in the thymus, where they learn to discriminate between self and non-self. This educational program is, to a large extent, mediated by medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) that have a unique capacity to express, and subsequently present a large fraction of body antigens. While the scope of promiscuously expressed genes by mTECs is well established, relatively little is known about the expression of variants that are generated by co- and post-transcriptional processes. Results: Our study reveals that in comparison to other cell types, mTECs display significantly higher levels of alternative splicing, as well as A-to-I and C-to-U RNA editing, which thereby further expand the diversity of their self-antigen repertoire. Interestingly, Aire, the key mediator of mTECs promiscuous gene expression, plays a limited role in the regulation of these transcriptional processes. Conclusions: Our results highlight RNA processing as another layer by which the immune system assures a comprehensive self-representation in the thymus which is required for the establishment of self-tolerance and prevention of autoimmunity. Identification of the number of genes expressed in Aire-KO MEChi Overall design: ~100ng of total RNA was isolated by Trizol extraction from MHC-II high mTECs from a pool of 3 Aire-KO mice. Poly-A-selected transcriptome libraries were generated using the non-directionnal TruSeq V3 RNA Sample Prep Kit (without additional pre-amplification) following the manufacturer''s protocols. Enrichment of DNA fragment with adapter molecules on both ends was done using 15 cycles of PCR amplification using the Illumina PCR mix and primer cocktail. Paired-end (2 × 100 bp) sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq2000 machine.

Description
Dendritic cells (DC) arise from a diverse group of hematopoietic progenitors and have marked phenotypic and functional heterogeneity. We have found previously that activation of protein kinase C beta 2 (PRKCB2) by cytokines or phorbol esters drives normal human CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitors and myeloid leukemic blasts (KG1, K562 cell lines, and primary patient blasts) to differentiate into DC, but the genetic program triggered by PRKCB2 activation that results in DC differentiation is only beginning to be characterized. Of the cPKC isoforms, only PRKCB2 was consistently activated by DC differentiation-inducing stimuli in normal and leukemic progenitors. To examine early changes in gene expression following PRKCB2 activation, we employed the following cell lines: (1) the CD34(+) human acute myeloid leukemia derived cell line KG1, which undergoes DC differentiation following phorbol ester treatment; (2) KG1a, a spontaneously arising differentiation-resistant daughter cell line of KG1 that has lost PRKCB2 expression; (3) clones established from KG1a that stably express exogenous PRKCB2-GFP fusion proteins and are once again able to undergo DC differentiation (KG1a-PRKCB2-GFP Clone E9 and Clone E11). We examined changes in gene expression in these cells following treatment with the phorbol ester PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) for 2 hours. Since KG1 and KG1a differ in PRKCB2 expression but have similar expression of the other protein kinase C isoforms, this protocol will allow for the identification of genes regulated by PRKCB2 activation.
