ABSTRACT: CD4 T cells are essential mediators of the asthmatic process. We used the clinically relevant allergen house dust mites to induce signs of allergy in mice and performed gene expression arrays specifically on CD4 T cells infiltrating the lung Reference: IL-21-producing CD4+ T cells promote type 2 immunity to house dust mites Primary CD4+ T cells were isolated from mice sensitised and challenged to either house dust mites or PBS. Purification of CD4 T cells was performed by flow cytometry. RNA was isolated, converted to cDNA and then hybridised on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Arrays

Project description:Mice intranasally exposed to a low dose of LPS (i.e., 100 ng) are prone to develop features of allergic asthma upon subsequent exposure to house dust mites (HDM) allergens, while mice exposed to vehicle or 100 µg LPS do not develop such features. In order to understand the mechanisms that promote allergic asthma, we sought to characterize the lung neutrophils, which are massively recruited after LPS exposure, by single cell RNA-Seq.
Project description:To characterize the inflammatory events occuring during early experimental acute AD lesions, skin biopsies were collected 6, 24, and 48 h after epicutaneous application of Dermatophagoides farinae house dust mites (HDM) to sensitized atopic dogs.
Project description:Using 5 differents approaches, including RNA sequencing, we demonstrated that macrophages that specifically infiltrate renal tumors, express the immunosuppressive transcription factor Foxp3. Examination of the Foxp3 mRNA expression in 3 different cell subsets (including CD4 T cells (CD4), type-1 macrophages (M1) and type-2 macrophages (M2))
Project description:PBMC from house dust mite (HDM) sensitized atopics were cultured in the presence or absence of HDM extract for 24 hours. At the termination of the cultures, CD4 T cells were isolated using immunomagnetic separation. Gene expression was profiled on microarrays. The study design consisted of 45 subjects and two conditions (medium control, HDM stimulation).
Project description:PBMC from house dust mite (HDM) sensitized atopics with or without asthma (or nonallergic controls) were cultured in the presence or absence of HDM extract for 24 hours. At the termination of the cultures, immunomagnetic separation was performed to purify CD4 T cells. Gene expression was profiled on microarrays. The study design consisted of 72 subjects, and two experimental conditions (medium control, HDM stimulation).
Project description:This dataset contains nano-LC-MS/MS analyzed samples of the domestic (house dust) mite Blomia tropicalis, which is a major source of allergens in tropical and subtropical regions. For proteomic analyses, four sample types, each with three biological replicates, were prepared: (i) 1000 individually collected adult mites, (ii) pools of mites of different ages, including eggs; (iii) water extracts of feces, and (iv) detergent-buffer extracts of the remaining pellet of the water extract. Laboratory culture of B. tropicalis was maintained as described previously at the Crop Research Institute, Prague, Czechia. Mites were mass reared in tissue culture flasks on a house dust mite diet (HDMd) in a large population (approximately 4 weeks) when the diet is almost consumed. This study was supported by LUAUS23082 of the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.
Project description:Define the genetic profile of naturally occuring regulatory macrophages that express Foxp3 (MacRegs) compared to Foxp3 neg macrophages, to determine candidate genes responsible for their regulatory function. Compare this new cellular population with Tregulatory cells. Two conditions were compared: Fresh CD11b+ F4/80+ FOXP3+ cells (3 independent isolates) and CD11b+ F4/80+ FOXP3- cells (3 independent isolates). MacRegs were also compared to CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs .
Project description:Molecular profiling of infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages versus resident kupffer cells following acute liver injury The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury; yet, the role of macrophages (MF) in this process remains controversial mainly due to difficulties in distinguishing between different MF-subsets. Here, we utilized a murine model of acute liver injury caused by overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) and defined three distinct MF subsets that populate the liver following injury. Accordingly, resident Kupffer cells (KC) were significantly reduced upon APAP-challenge and started recovering by self-renewal at resolution phase without contribution of circulating Ly6Chi monocytes. The latter were recruited in a CCR2 and M-CSF mediated pathway at the necro-inflammatory phase and differentiated into ephemeral Ly6Clo MF subset at resolution phase. Moreover, their inducible ablation resulted in impaired recovery. Microarray based molecular profiling uncovered high similarity between steady state KC and those recovered at the resolution phase. In contrast, KC and monocyte-derived MF displayed distinct pro-restorative genetic signature at the resolution phase. Finally, we show that infiltrating monocytes acquire a pro-restorative polarization manifested by unique expression of pro-angiogenesis mediators and genes involved with inhibition of neutrophil activity and recruitment and promotion of their clearance. Collectively, our results present a novel phenotypic, ontogenic and molecular definition of liver-MF compartment following acute injury. 11 Samples (arrays) were performed. We generated pairwise comparison between all the different macrophages stages, using Partek Genomics Suite. Genes with p?5%[FDR] and a fold-change difference of ?2 or <-2 were selected.
Project description:The study explored the impact of Specific Immunotherapy on patients with Atopic Dermatitis sensitized to house dust mites by analyzing the transcriptomes of T regulatory cells before and after treatment. Result found that effective SIT is associated with distinct gene expression changes in Treg cells, particularly increased expression of Treg markers and RORC, a gene linked to immune regulation. These results indicate that successful SIT may enhance the function of Treg cells expressed RORC and help restore immune balance in these patients.
