Transcriptional profiling of activated CD4+ memory T cells exposed to anti-TNF and recombinant human TNF-alpha in vitro

ABSTRACT: We performed an RNA-seq analysis on FACS-sorted CD4+ memory T cells (Tmem, CD4+CD25-CD45RA-) stimulated in vitro with anti-CD3/CD28 coated beads (1:5), IL-2 (100 U/mL) in the presence of a TNF-alpha inhibitor (Etanercept, ETN, 5 μg/mL) or recombinant human TNF-alpha (rhTNF-alpha, 50 ng/mL) treatment. The cells were cultured for three days at 37°C and 5% CO2. On day three Tmem were lysed (Buffer RLT supplemented with DTT, QIAGEN) and RNA extraction was performed (RNeasy Plus Micro kit), followed by sample preparation with TruSeq (polyA) mRNA kits (Illumina), RNA sequencing (carried out by an Illumina HiSeq2500), and the alignment of trimmed fastQ files to GRCh38 human reference genome. We also performed a Quality control (QC). This was done using the tool FastQC FastQC/0.11.3-Java-1.7.0_
