Project description:Conditional IRF8 KO mice (mice with a conditional allele of Irf8 crossed with CD19-Cre mice) showed increased numbers of both Gene expression data spleen marginal zone (MZ) and Gene expression data spleen follicular (FO) B cells compared to control mice. To evaluate gene expression patterns that distinguished FO or MZ B cells derived from conditional KO and control mice, we used Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse gene 1.0 ST Array. FACS-sorted MZ and FO B cells from individual mouse were used for RNA extraction and Affyarray hybridization. There were six independent biological replications in each group - six cases of MZ B cells and FO cells in IRF8 conditional KO mice and six cases of MZ B cells and FO cells in control WT mice.
Project description:This study is aimed to explore whether C1qbp deficiency affects the epigenetic modification during the differentiation stage of CD8+ T cells. Transferred WT and C1qbp KO P14 cells sorted from the spleen of donor mice on day 5 post-infection with LCMV Armstrong were collected and treated for ATAC-seq. ATAC-Seq analysis provided sufficient but not necessary evidence of epigenetic changes between WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells. Our study have shown that, on day 5 post-infection with LCMV Armstrong, even WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells have different mRNA expressing profiling, the ATAC-seq shows slight changes in chromatin accessibility of indicated genes.
Project description:This study is aimed to Investigate whether C1qbp deficiency affects the histone modification during the differentiation stage of CD8+ T cells. Transferred WT and C1qbp KO P14 cells sorted from the spleen of donor mice on day 5 post-infection with LCMV Armstrong were collected and treated for CUT-tag. CUT-tag-Seq analysis provided evidence of histone modification changes between WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells. Our study shows that on day 5 post-infection with LCMV Armstrong, along with mRNA expressing profiling, the CUT-tag-seq exhibits obvious changes in H3K27me3 and H3K27Ac modification of indicated genes of WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells.
Project description:Tthis study is aimed to explore how C1qbp deficiency affects the mRNA expressing profiling during the differentiation stage of CD8+ T cells.Naïve WT and C1qbp KO P14 cells and transferred WT and C1qbp KO P14 cells sorted from the spleen of donor mice on day 3, 5, 7 post-infection with LCMV Armstrong were collected and treated for RNA-seq. RNA-Seq analysis revealed transcriptomic changes between WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells. Naïve WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells showed similar gene expressing profiling. On day 3, 5, 7 post-infection with LCMV Armstrong, WT and C1qbp KO CD8+ T cells showed 341, 1,164 and 437 differentially expressed genes respectively.
Project description:Thymic Treg cells, mature non-Treg CD4+ single positive thymocytes, peripheral (spleen) resting and activated Treg cells were sorted from Foxp3-gfp reporter (wid type, WT) mice or Foxp3 enhancer CNS3 knockout (KO, carrying the same GFP reporter) mice. Total RNA was extracted and used for RNA sequencing to assess gene expression profiles.
Project description:Purpose: To investigate the function of AMPK in T cells during in vivo activation. Methods: WT (PRKAA1fl/fl) and KO (CD4-Cre PRKAA1fl/fl) T cells were transferred into Rag KO recipients to induce adoptive T cell transfer mediated colitis. Donor WT and KO spleen and mLN T cells were isolated 6 weeks after transfer and gene expression was assessed in WT vs. KO T cells and spleen vs. mLN samples.

Project description:Our goal was to identify early genetic changes in the development of autoimmune dysfunction. WT and IL-2-KO CD8 T cells were sorted from the lymph node and spleen of 12-day old mice. Total RNA was isolated by Expression Analysis Inc. using Illumina TrueSeq Stranded Total RNA Sample Preparation Kit. Eight samples were sequenced (four biological replicates of IL-2-KO and WT/HET mice), producing 2X50 paired-end reads using the Illumine HiSeq 2500 platform. Raw reads were provided by Expression Analysis. We identified several genetic signatures within the bulk data including a cytolyic pattern and a novel gene expression pattern indicating a helper-like function.
Project description:In order to explore the regulatory mechanism of MST1 kinase on Tfh differentiation and function, we sorted Tfh cells in the spleen of WT and Mst1 KO mice 8 days after intraperitoneal sensitization, and extracted total RNA from the collected cells as samples for sequencing analysis.
