Project description:To comprehensively examine differences of gene expression patterns between WT and ATG5 KO HSCs/progenitors, we isolated LSK cells and conducted the microarray analysis.
Project description:Droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq of fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) isolated from whole limb skeletal muscles of 8 month old WT and Dysferllin KO mice.
Project description:To comprehensively investigate differences of gene expression patterns between Spred1 WT and KO HSCs/progenitors, we isolated HSCs/progenitor cells and performed the microarray analysis.
Project description:We reported transcriptional characterization of Treg cells, Tconv cells, and DCs isolated from coloinc lamina propria of Vdr WT- or Vdr KO-Foxp3 reporter mice. We also reported transcriptional characterization of colonic ECs isolated from Vdr WT- or Vdr KO-Foxp3 reporter mice.
Project description:Group 1 -- WT or PRDM16-KO ex vivo murine MLL-AF9 cells, and PRDM16-KO AF9 cells overexpressing either f-PRDM16 or s-PRDM16. Group 2 -- WT or total PRDM16-KO murine HSCs isolated from adult BM. Group 3 -- WT or total PRDM16-KO murine HSCs isolated from fetal liver. Group 4 -- WT or f-PRDM16-KO murine HSCs (expressing s-PRDM16 only) isolated from fetal liver.
Project description:transcriptional profiling was performed on WT and KO CAR T cells isolated 21 days after co-transfer into tumor bearing mice. Regnase-1 KO CAR T cell reprogramed to memory-like cells long-term after tumor priming in vivo compared to WT CAR T cells
Project description:Microarray analyses were performed in order to determine the effect of galectin-3 ablation on the endothelial transcriptional response in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Galectin-3-deficient mice (KO) and wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) were fed a high-fat diet (60% fat calories) or standard chow for 8 weeks. CD105+/CD45- endothelial cells were isolated from the aortae and skeletal muscles of these mice by FACS. Whole genome microarray expression profiling revealed greater transcriptional dysregulation in the endothelium of the KO after high-fat feeding compared to WT. Transcripts dysregulated in the KO endothelium after HFD include those involved in glucose uptake and insulin signaling, oxidative stress, vasoregulation, coagulation, and atherogenesis. Real-time PCR confirmed transcriptional downregulation of the glucose transporter, Glut4, and immunofluorescence staining confirmed reduced GLUT4 protein in the endothelium and mudcle of the KO compared to WT. The transcriptional and histological data was consistent with physiological studies showing exacerbated hyperglycemia and coagulation in the KO. These results suggest that galectin-3 serves a protective role against metabolic dysregulation and endothelial dysfunction in diabetes.
Project description:transcriptional profiling was performed on WT and KO CAR T cells isolated 7 days after co-transfer into mice with or without tumors. Regnase-1 KO CAR T cells undergoing a tumor-dependent shift from an effector to memory-like phenotype
Project description:To compare the splenic macrophages between SIRPα-knockout mice and WT mice, we performed a complete transcript profiling of the splenic red pulp macrophages from SIRPα-KO mice compared to WT mice using mRNA microarray as a discovery platform. SIRPα-KO mice and WT mice were kept under the same condition. Macrophages were isolated from spleen red pulp of SIRPα-KO mice and WT mice. RNA was then isolated from the same number of freshly isolated macrophages.
Project description:<p>The classic neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been shown to shape the activation and function of immune cells. There are four high affinity GABA transporters (GATs, including GAT-1, GAT-2, GAT-3 and GAT-4) responsible for the transmembrane transport of GABA in mice. To explore the effect of GAT-2 on type 1 helper T (Th1) cells, naïve CD4+ T cells were isolated from splenocytes of GAT-2 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice and cultured for Th1 cell differentiation, and then metabolomics analysis of Th1 cells was performed via gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) added with multivariate analyses. The study will provide insights into T cell response to GAT-2 deficiency in mice.</p>
