Description
Access to an unlimited number of human pancreatic beta cells represents a major challenge in the field of diabetes to better dissect human beta cell functions and to make significant progress in drug discovery and cell replacement therapies. We previously reported the generation of the EndoC-bH1 human beta cell line that was generated by targeted oncogenesis in human fetal pancreases followed by in vivo cell differentiation in mice. Such cell line displayed many functional properties of adult beta cells. Here we devised a novel strategy to generate conditionally immortalized human beta cell lines based on CRE-mediated excision of immortalizing transgenes. The resulting EndoC-bH2 cell line can be massively amplified in vitro. Transgenes are next efficiently excised upon CRE expression leading to cell proliferation arrest and strong enhancement of beta cell specific features such as insulin expression, content and secretion. Excised EndoC-bH2 cells are close to authentic human beta cells and represent a unique tool to further study beta cell function and to understand why adult human beta cells are refractory to proliferation and how to achieve drug-dependent mobilization towards beta cell expansion.

Description
The transition to lactation challenges dairy cows metabolically. Immune dysfunction and infectious disease risk is the hallmark of this transition period. Transcriptome data of PBMC shows differentially expressed pathways postpartum. Metabolically stressed cows show upregulation of innate immune pathways and inflammation. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of PMBCs from 6 dairy cows, each sampled 21 days prepartum and 7 days postpartum. Three cows (H1-3) showed signs of increased metabolic stress (by other assays) relative to the other three cows (L1-3).
Publication Title
The degree of postpartum metabolic challenge in dairy cows is associated with peripheral blood mononuclear cell transcriptome changes of the innate immune system.

Description
This analysis represents the first comprehensive sampling of germ cells in the developing testis over time, at high-resolution, single-cell depth. From these analyses, we have not only revealed novel genetic regulatory signatures of murine germ cells over time, but have also demonstrated that cell types positive for a single marker gene have the capacity to change dramatically during testis maturation, and therefore cells of a particular “identity” may differ significantly from postnatal to adult life. Overall design: Single-cell suspensions of mammalian testes ranging from PND6 to adult were processed for single-cell RNAseq (10x Genomics Chromium) and libraries were sequenced on a NextSeq500 (Illumina).

Description
BPH/5 mice are an inbred strain with “borderline hypertension” that spontaneously develops both maternal and fetal hallmarks of preeclampsia. RNA-Seq analysis of BPH/5 uterine implantation sites at embryonic day 7.5, the peak of decidualization, identifies differential expression of inflammatory response genes, including members of the complement family, compared to C57 controls. Overall design: RNA-Seq was performed on RNA isolated from E7.5 BPH/5 and C57 implantation sites (n=4).

Description
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a pathogenic hemoglobin (Hb) mutation, yet patients can have dramatically variable clinical manifestations. Here we address the genetic basis of this clinical heterogeneity. Using a systems genetics approach, we performed whole blood gene expression analysis and eQTL analysis on different clinical phenotypes in SCD patients.

Description
During immune ontogeny the thymus is colonized by distinct waves of hematopoietic stem cells that give rise to unique lineages of immune cells. In this report, we asked whether the developmental origin of CD8+ T cells influences their response to infection later in adulthood. To answer this question, we developed a system to 'timestamp' CD8+ T cells in situ at various stages of development (1d and 28d) and examined their behavior at 8 weeks of age. We found that neonatal-derived CD8+ T cells have an intrinsic propensity to become memory phenotype cells prior to infection and are the first cells to proliferate and become effectors after microbial challenge. These data indicate that there are developmental layers in the adult CD8+ T cell response to infection and that the heterogeneity in the effector pool is linked to the variation in the developmental origins of the responding cells. This dataset profiles gene expression in 1day- and 28day-timestamped naïve CD8+ T cells in 8 week old mice. Overall design: gene expression profiling of naïve CD8+ T cells in 8 week old mice, looking at two samples: cells made at 1 day or 28 days of life, in duplicate.

Description
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark thought to be robust to environmental perturbations on a short time scale. Here, we challenge that view by demonstrating that the infection of human dendritic cells with a live pathogenic bacteria is associated with rapid changes in methylation levels at thousands of loci. We performed an integrated analysis of data on genome-wide DNA methylation, histone mark patterns, chromatin accessibility, and gene expression, before and after infection. We found that infection-induced changes in methylation rarely occur at promoter regions and instead localize to distal enhancer elements. Active demethylation is associated with extensive epigenetic remodeling, including the gain of histone activation marks and the induction of enhancer RNAs, and is strongly predictive of changes in the expression levels of nearby genes. Collectively, our observations show that active, rapid changes in DNA methylation in enhancers play a previously unappreciated role in regulating the transcriptional response of immune cells to infection. Overall design: Transcriptional profiles (polyA+) of 6 non-infected and 6 MTB-infected dendritic cell samples.
