Transcriptomic profiling of murine GnRH neurons reveals developmental trajectories linked to human reproduction and infertility

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Daniel Alpern

Rationale: Neurons producing Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) are essential for human reproduction and have to migrate from nose to brain during prenatal life. Impaired GnRH neuron biology results in alterations of the reproductive axis, including del ...

Context transcription factors establish cooperative environments and mediate enhancer communication

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Guido Van Mierlo, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer

Many enhancers control gene expression by assembling regulatory factor clusters, also referred to as condensates. This process is vital for facilitating enhancer communication and establishing cellular identity. However, how DNA sequence and transcription ...

A human omentum-specific mesothelial-like stromal population inhibits adipogenesis through IGFBP2 secretion

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Jörn Pezoldt, Guido Van Mierlo, Daniel Alpern, Pernille Yde Rainer, Magda Zachara, Radiana Ferrero

Although several mouse and human adipose SVF cellular subpopulations have by now been identified, we still lack an understanding of the cellular and functional variability of adipose stem and progenitor cell (ASPC) populations across human fat depots. To a ...

Mammalian adipogenesis regulator (Areg) cells use retinoic acid signalling to be non- and anti-adipogenic in age-dependent manner

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Horia Hashimi, Daniel Alpern, Maria Litovchenko, Magda Zachara, Pernille Yde Rainer, Radiana Ferrero

Adipose stem and precursor cells (ASPCs) give rise to adipocytes and determine the composition and plasticity of adipose tissue. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that ASPCs partition into at least three distinct cell subpopulations, including th ...

Deterministic scRNA-seq captures variation in intestinal crypt and organoid composition

Matthias Lütolf, Bart Deplancke, Esther Amstad, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Rita Sarkis, Jörn Pezoldt, Johannes Julius Bues, Antonius Chrisnandy, Riccardo Dainese

DisCo is a deterministic droplet microfluidics tool for single-cell analysis on low cell input samples, which is demonstrated to profile individual intestinal organoids and in vivo-derived small tissues. ...

A Tead1-Apelin axis directs paracrine communication from myogenic to endothelial cells in skeletal muscle

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Sonia Karaz, Maria Deak, Umji Lee, Benjamin D. Cosgrove

Apelin (Apln) is a myokine that regulates skeletal muscle plasticity and meta-bolism and declines during aging. Through a yeast one-hybrid transcription factor binding screen, we identified the TEA domain transcription factor 1 (Tead1) as a novel regulator ...

Postnatal expansion of mesenteric lymph node stromal cells towards reticular and CD34(+) stromal cell subsets

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Jörn Pezoldt, Guido Van Mierlo, Maria Litovchenko, Wanze Chen, Marjan Biocanin

Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (LN) provide the framework to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. Based on the transcriptional signatures established by our previous work, the composition and immunomodulatory function of LN stromal cells (SC) v ...

A leukemia-protective germline variant mediates chromatin module formation via transcription factor nucleation

Freddy Radtke, Bart Deplancke, Ute Koch, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Jörn Pezoldt, Judith Franziska Kribelbauer, Riccardo Dainese, Daniel Alpern, Maria Litovchenko

Non-coding variants coordinate transcription factor (TF) binding and chromatin mark enrichment changes over regions spanning >100 kb. These molecularly coordinated regions are named "variable chromatin modules" (VCMs), providing a conceptual framework of h ...

Disparate temperature-dependent virus-host dynamics for SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV in the human respiratory epithelium

Bart Deplancke, Bastien Mangeat, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Jörn Pezoldt, Elisa Cora, Daniel Alpern

Since its emergence in December 2019, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally and become a major public health burden. Despite its close phylogenetic relationship to SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 exhibits increased human-to- ...

Extensive tissue-specific expression variation and novel regulators underlying circadian behavior

Matteo Dal Peraro, Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Virginie Sandra Braman, Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho, Maria Litovchenko, Michael Vincent Frochaux, Alessio Prunotto, Brian Dennis Hollis

Natural genetic variation affects circadian rhythms across the evolutionary tree, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We investigated population-level, molecular circadian clock variation by generating >700 tissue-specific transc ...
