ABSTRACT: CD44 wild-type and knockout C57 BL/6 mice were immunized by subcutaneous injection of MOG35-55 peptide. CD4 T cells were isolated from spleens of the mice on day 15 of the MOG35-55 peptide immunization. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were prepared from multiple sclerosis patients and normal individuals. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to microRNA high-throughput array with Affymetrix platform.
Project description:C57BL/6 mice were immunized by subcutaneous injection of MOG35-55 peptide.DIM post-treatment was given at DAY 10 of the disease progression. CD4 T cells were isolated from the brain of the mice on day 15 of the MOG35-55 peptide immunization. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to microRNA high-throughput array with Affymetrix platform.
Project description:Mice were immunized with either MOG35-55 in CFA or with CFA alone and 14 days later PLN cells were isolated and stimulated in vitro with MOG35-55 for 3 days followed by CD4+ T cell sorting. Microarray analysis of miRNA expression profiles was performed comparing sorted CD4+ T cells from MOG35-55 in CFA immunized mice to CD4+ T cells from mice immunized with CFA alone. The data are from magnetic beads sorted CD4+ T cells from peripheral lymph nodes from 5 pooled animals per data point
Project description:We used the MOG35-55 peptide induction experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis to determine whether Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition could attenuate disease-relevant changes to central nervous system gene expression.

Project description:In this study we determined whole genome gene expression of murine naive CD4+ T cells, in vitro differentiated Th17 cells, and CD4+ T cells isolated from experimental autoimmune encephalitomyelitis (EAE)-affected animals either after adoptive transfer of Th17 cells or after immunization with MOG35-55-peptide. The overall goal was to identify candidate genes involved in T cell pathology, encephalitogenicity and plasticity. These findings could then be correlated to multiple sclerosis pathology. Naive CD4+ T cells were isolated from B6.2d2 transgenic mice with MOG-specific T cell receptors and differentiated in vitro into Th17 cells. These Th17 cells were adoptively transferred into lymphopenic RAG1-/- mice to induce EAE. Further, EAE was induced by immunizing wild-type C57BL/6 mice with MOG35-55 peptide. RNA was extracted from naive CD4+ T cells, Th17 cells, and from CD4+ T cells isolated from the CNS of EAE-affected mice for gene expression analysis. Replicates from three independent experiments were analyzed.
Project description:Recent data from our group, demonstrate that infusion of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG35-55) peptide, leads to induction of MOG35-55-specific Tregs and subsequent suppression of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE), the mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Amelioration of EAE was accompanied by reduced MOG-specific Th1 and Th17 responses in the draining lymph nodes (dLNs). Phenotypic analysis of the dLNs of MOG-infused mice revealed a significant Treg-mediated reduction in the recruitment of 7AAD-CD3-CD19-CD11c+CD11bhighGr-1+ iDCs compared to non-infused control immunized mice. Focusing on the delineation of novel molecules/genes that are involved in the MOG-specific Treg-mediated suppression of autoimmune responses, we have isolated highly purified iDCs from MOG infused and non-infused control immunized mice.

Focusing on the delineation of novel molecules/genes that are involved in the MOG-specific Treg-mediated suppression of autoimmune responses, we have isolated highly purified iDCs from MOG infused and non-infused control immunized mice. Gene expression profiles of iDCs isolated from tolerized or immunized mice. Affymetrix MG 430 2.0 whole genome arrays were performed in triplicates for tolerized iDCs and immunized iDCs (6 arrays in total, 5 of them were analyzed). To obtain genes significantly regulated in iDCs upon tolerization with MOG35-55, the expression profiles of iDCs isolated from tolerized or immunized mice were compared to each other. After total RNA extraction, reverse transcription, cDNA extraction, the biotinylated cRNA was transcribed, fragmented, and 15 µg cRNA hybridized to the 6 GeneChip arrays: Group1 iDCs isolated from tolerized mice, Group2 iDCs isolated from immunized mice.
