Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-lymphoblastoid cell lines from six individuals (HG00114, HG00282, NA12005, NA12044, NA12717 and NA12751) of the GEUVADIS Project were selected for ribosomal profiling. For each EBV-LCL, 20 million cells were treated with 2 μg/ml harringtonine and 100 μg/ml cycloheximide. After lysing cells in lysis buffer supplemented with 100 μg/ml cycloheximide, ribosome complexes were purified by density purification. Small RNA molecules were isolated using the NucleoSpin miRNA Kit (Bioke, Leiden, Netherlands), followed by RNA PAGE gel separation. Universal linkers were added after dephosphorylation. After reverse transcription, the cDNA was circularized and, after ribosomal RNA depletion, barcoded and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 500.
We undertook single-cell RNA sequencing to establish gene expression and lymphocyte receptor sequences of CSF and peripheral blood leukocytes derived from patients with a variety of inflammatory, infectious and non-inflammatory neurological disorders. The aim of the study was the investigation of functional changes of the cells involved in neuroinflammatory responses.
DIPG is a paediatric high-grade glioma that diffusely infiltrates the brainstem and is the leading cause of paediatric brain tumour death. Here we performed RNA and whole exome sequencing on DIPG and control samples to analyse transcriptomic and genetic alterations associated with this devastating disease, and to understand the relationship between them.
RNA-Sequencing from human post-mortem Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 patients. This sequencing experiment was carried out to validate that the transcriptional changes of an Ataxin-3 knock-in mouse model (expressing an expansion of 304 CAG/CAAs either heterozygous or homozygous in the murine Ataxin-3 locus) represent that transcriptional changes seen in the human disease.
