We demonstrate that the versatile environmental bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapts a virulence phenotype after serial passage in Galleria mellonella as an invertebrate model host. The virulence phenotype was not linked to the acquisition of genetic variations and was sustained for several generations, despite cultivation of the ex vivo virulence-adapted P. aeruginosa cells under non-inducing rich medium conditions. Transcriptional reprogramming seemed to be induced by a host-specific food source as reprogramming was also observed upon cultivation of P. aeruginosa in medium supplemented with polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acids. Methods : mRNA profiles were generated for Pseudomonas aerugionsa samples derived from LB-cultures grown to an OD600 =2. The removal of ribosomal RNA was performed using the Ribo-Zero Bacteria Kit (Illumina) and cDNA libraries were generated with the ScriptSeq v2 Kit (Illumina) . The samples were sequenced in single end mode on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 device and mRNA reads were trimmed and mapped to the NC_008463.1 (PA14) reference genome from NCBI using Stampy pipeline with defaut settings. Overall design: Isolate CH2658 was subjected to in vivo and in vitro evolution experiments in this study. This isolate was obtained from the lab of G. Gastmeier, Charite Berlin, Germany. The in vivo passages (using G. mellonella) are named CH2658 I-IV corresponding to passages 1 4. The last passage CH2658 IV corresponds to the “evolved strain” and was passaged in LB (four days, two passages a day) to generate revertants which are referred to as CH2658 Rev1-4 corresponding to samples from day1-4. The last passage CH2658 Rev4 is called “revertant”. Additionally, the clinical isolate was passaged under in vitro conditions in the presence of linolenic acid (Roth) with (CH2658 Lil+P) and without paraffin (CH2658 Lil). As controls, CH2658 was passaged in LB (CH2658 LB) and in LB supplemented with paraffin (CH2658 LB+P). The in vitro passage experiment was conducted for four days and two passages a day.

View SamplesPurpose: The goal of this study was to use RNA Seq to explore whether and to what extent genetic heterogeneity would shape the transcriptional profile in the environment of the CF lung Methods : mRNA profiles were generated for Pseudomonas aerugionsa samples derived from explanted lung tissue or pure cultures isolated from the same lung regions by deep sequencing. To enrich the bacterial RNA MicrobeEnrich Kit (Ambion) was used. The removal of ribosomal RNA was performed using the Ribo-Zero Bacteria Kit (Illumina) and cDNA libraries were generated with the ScriptSeq v2 Kit (Illumina) . The samples were sequenced in single end mode on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 device and mRNA reads were trimmed and mapped to the PAO1 NC_002516 reference genome from NCBI using Stampy pipeline with defaut settings. Overall design: mRNA profiles either from Pseudomonas aeruginosa containing explanted lung tissue from a single patient from various regions of the lung or pure P. aeruginosa liquid cultures grown in LB at 37C from the same lung regions as the ex vivo samples were generated and deep sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

View SamplesPurpose : The goal of this study was to use RNA-seq to compare transcriptional profiles under biofilm conditions with planktonic growth and explore the correlation of gene expression of a collection of clinical P. aeruginosa isolates to various phenotypes, such as biofilm structure or virulence. Methods : mRNA profiles were generated for Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical samples derived from various geographical locations by deep sequencing. The removal of ribosomal RNA was performed using the Ribo-Zero Bacteria Kit (Illumina) and cDNA libraries were generated with the ScriptSeq v2 Kit (Illumina). The samples were sequenced in single end mode on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 device or paired end mode on an Illumina Novaseq 6000. mRNA reads were trimmed and mapped to the NC_008463.1 (PA14) reference genome from NCBI using bowtie2 with default settings. Overall design: mRNA profiles from Pseudomonas aeruginosa derived from static biofilm cultures grown for 12h to 48h in 96-well microtiter plates or planktonic LB cultures grown to an OD600 = 2 and deep sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2500/NovaSeq 6000.

View SamplesLiposarcoma is a poorly understood malignancy of fat cells. Lipolysis, a central pathway of adipose tissue metabolism, has been implicated in cancer. Here, we generated tissue-specific single- and combined knockout mice for the two major lipases ATGL and HSL. Notably, double knockout (DAKO) mice developed late onset liposarcoma with complete penetrance, while single knockout mice appeared normal. DAKO whole transcriptome profiles differed from those of single knockout mice, revealing an early-onset tissue-specific response that persisted until the late-onset development of liposarcoma. Cancer-associated markers Gpnmb and G0s2 were among the most highly dysregulated genes in DAKO mice and also in human liposarcomas, suggesting a potential role for these proteins as liposarcoma-specific biomarkers. Taken together, our results demonstrate a novel epistatic interaction linking lipolysis with cancer. DAKO mice provide a promising model for studying early premalignant changes that lead to late-onset disease.

View SamplesThe goal of the study was to compare transcriptome changes in HeLa cells after infection with recombinant Thogoto virus (wild-type, ML deletioin mutant or ML SW mutant not able to interact wiith TFIIB. While wild-type virus is able to inhibit inflammatory genes, ML deletion mutant and TFIIB-non-interacting mutant lose this effect on gene transcription. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome changes in HeLa cells under steady state or after THOV infection using Illumina HiSeq.
Viral targeting of TFIIB impairs de novo polymerase II recruitment and affects antiviral immunity.

View SamplesWe carried out RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of adult human postmortem neocortical brain tissue, and then correlated those expression values with the fMRI signal in each brain region Overall design: Ten cortical regions were included in the analysis: pre-motor cortex - PMV (BA6), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex – DLPFC (BA9), middle temporal gyrus – pMTG (BA21), superior temporal gyrus – pSTG (BA22), angular gyrus - AG (BA39), supramarginal gyrus - SMG (BA40), pars opercularis - POP (BA44), pars triangularis - PTr (BA45), middle frontal gyrus – MFG (BA46) and pars orbitalis - POrB (BA47). For each brain region, three or more samples from left adult brain hemispheres were collected (ages range from 33 to 49) and only males were included to avoid the effect of sex
