Journal ArticleDOI
An RNA-Sequencing Transcriptome and Splicing Database of Glia, Neurons, and Vascular Cells of the Cerebral Cortex
Ye Zhang,Kenian Chen,Steven A. Sloan,Mariko L. Bennett,Anja R. Scholze,Sean O'Keeffe,Hemali Phatnani,Paolo Guarnieri,Christine Caneda,Nadine Ruderisch,Shuyun Deng,Shane A. Liddelow,Chaolin Zhang,Richard Daneman,Tom Maniatis,Ben A. Barres,Jian Qian Wu +16 more
TL;DR: The authors' data provide clues as to how neurons and astrocytes differ in their ability to dynamically regulate glycolytic flux and lactate generation attributable to unique splicing of PKM2, the gene encoding the glycoleytic enzyme pyruvate kinase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and Characterization of Progenitor and Mature Human Astrocytes Reveals Transcriptional and Functional Differences with Mouse.
Ye Zhang,Steven A. Sloan,Laura E. Clarke,Christine Caneda,Colton A. Plaza,Paul D. Blumenthal,Hannes Vogel,Gary K. Steinberg,Michael S. B. Edwards,Gordon Li,John A. Duncan,Samuel H. Cheshier,Lawrence M. Shuer,Edward F. Chang,Gerald A. Grant,Melanie Hayden Gephart,Ben A. Barres +16 more
TL;DR: The development of an immunopanning method to acutely purify astrocytes from fetal, juvenile, and adult human brains and to maintain these cells in serum-free cultures is reported, finding that human astroCytes have abilities similar to those of murine astroicytes in promoting neuronal survival, inducing functional synapse formation, and engulfing synaptosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of human brain transcriptome diversity at the single cell level
Spyros Darmanis,Steven A. Sloan,Ye Zhang,Martin Enge,Christine Caneda,Lawrence M. Shuer,Melanie Hayden Gephart,Ben A. Barres,Stephen R. Quake +8 more
TL;DR: The first, to the authors' knowledge, single cell whole transcriptome analysis of human adult cortical samples is described, establishing an experimental and analytical framework with which the complexity of the human brain can be dissected on the single cell level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional cortical neurons and astrocytes from human pluripotent stem cells in 3D culture
Anca M. Pasca,Steven A. Sloan,Laura E. Clarke,Yuan Tian,Christopher D. Makinson,Nina Huber,Chul Hoon Kim,Jin-Young Park,Nancy A. O'Rourke,Khoa D. Nguyen,Stephen J. Smith,John R. Huguenard,Daniel H. Geschwind,Ben A. Barres,Sergiu P. Paşca +14 more
TL;DR: A simple and reproducible 3D culture approach for generating a laminated cerebral cortex–like structure, named human cortical spheroids (hCSs), from pluripotent stem cells, which demonstrate that cortical neurons participate in network activity and produce complex synaptic events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis of Infiltrating Neoplastic Cells at the Migrating Front of Human Glioblastoma.
Spyros Darmanis,Steven A. Sloan,Derek Croote,Marco Mignardi,Sophia B. Chernikova,Peyman Samghababi,Ye Zhang,Norma F. Neff,Mark Kowarsky,Christine Caneda,Gordon Li,Steven D. Chang,Ian D. Connolly,Yingmei Li,Ben A. Barres,Melanie Hayden Gephart,Stephen R. Quake +16 more
TL;DR: Despite the existence of significant heterogeneity among neoplastic cells, it is found that infiltrating GBM cells share a consistent gene signature between patients, suggesting a common mechanism of infiltration.
