Single-cell 5' Gene Expression and V(D)J Amplification (10X Genomics) of splenic CD4+ T cells from Plasmodium chabaudi infected mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To associate gene expression profiles with specific features of the splenic CD4+ T-cell repertoire generated during a blood stage P. chabaudi infection, we obtained both transcriptomic and T-cell receptor data from 2 infected mice at 7 days following infection.
Project description:Recent advances in high throughput sequencing methodologies allow the opportunity to probe in depth the transcriptomes of organisms including important human pathogens. In this project, we are using Illumina sequencing technology to analyze the transcriptome (RNA-Seq) of experimentally accessible stages of the mouse malaria parasite, P. chabaudi AS. The aim is to analyse cir gene expression during Plasmodium chabaudi infection and determine whether host genetic background can influence cir expression. This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/. Abstract: Transcriptome sequencing of blood stage P. chabaudi AS parasites grown under different host genetic backgrounds.
Project description:Plasmodium-specific CD4+ T cells from mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS parasites were recovered at Days 0, 7, and 28 to undergo processing and generate scRNA-seq dataset. At Day 28, mice were administered with either saline or artesunate (intermittent artesunate therapy - IAT). scRNA-seq dataset was analysed to investigate transcriptome dynamics of CD4+ T cells from effector to memory states.
Project description:During malaria infection is observed a robust immune response culminating on release of inflammatory mediators. This exacerbated immune response is involved in malaria symptoms and mortality. There are evidences that this response is mediated by innate immunity where pattern recognition receptors have a key role. We used microarrays to elucidate some pro-inflammatory genes that are differential expressed during P. chabaudi infection, a malarial murine model Spleen from C57BL/6 or MyD88 knockout mice non-infected or after 6 days post infection with 105 P. chabaudi infected red blood cells were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. This time point was chose to coincides with rupture of red blood cells \since this event of the parasite life cycle is related with malaria outcomes.
Project description:We investigate the single-cell landscape of the inflammatory mouse tumor model MC38, a C57BL/6 tumor cell line derived from colon adenocarcinoma. MC38 (diluted in HBSS and matrigel) was inoculated in the right unilateral flank (in the border of positions B2 and B3) of C57BL/6 mice (ref Study 16-3384 AV). Draining lymph nodes were taken one day after group-out (average 150-250 mm3 tumor size at day 0), approximately 14-19 days. Draining lymph nodes were dissociated and flow sorted accordingly to obtain the cells for 10x Chromium 5' Gene Expression Profiling and TCR sequencing.

MC38 (diluted in HBSS and matrigel) was inoculated in the right unilateral flank (in the border of positions B2 and B3) of C57BL/6 mice (ref Study 16-3384 AV). Tumors were taken one day after group-out (average 150-250 mm3 at day 0), approximately 14-19 days. Tissues were dissociated and flow sorted accordingly to obtain the following groups for 10x Chromium 5' Gene Expression Profiling. Our results indicate that the degree of clonal expansion is correlated with expression of T cell exhaustion markers, and that T cells with strong exhaustion phenotype also express high levels of activation markers, such as interferon gamma.
Project description:Mucosal-Associated Invariant T cells (MAIT cells) have a unique specificity for the microbial metabolite 5-OP-RU presented by the non-classical presentation molecule MR1. Upon activation, they release cytotoxic mediators and engage an antimicrobial activity. As a subset of T lymphocytes, MAIT development occurs in the thymus where they acquire their effector phenotype under the control of the key transcription factor ZBTB16. This particular maturation process is in contrast with conventional T cells that egress the thymus with a naive phenotype before populating the secondary lymphoid organs, and the molecular events driving the MAIT lineage decision are poorly known. In the present work, we evaluated the transcriptional events and the role of the slam-SAP pathway on the lineage decision of MR1-restricted T cells by single cell RNAseq. MAIT cells undergoing positive selection were FACS-sorted with a MR1:5-OP-RU labeled tetramer, from thymus of wild-type and sapKO mice. Their transcriptomes were captured using a 10x chromium system.
Project description:Gene expression and T cell receptor profiles from single cells from populations of T cells stimulated with islet autoantigenic peptides. CD4 T cells were stimulated with native (proinsulin, GAD fragments) or neo-antigen epitopes or flu vaccine (Pediacel). Activated cells (identified as CD19- CD3+ CD4+,CD45-RO+ CD95+, CD154+CD69+ CD27+) were FACS-sorted, barcodes for samples were introduced with cell hashing as follows: patient, 1 pool 1 (Hashtag 1); patient 1 pool 2 (Hashtag 2) patient 2 pool 1 (Hashtag 3); patient 2 pool 2 (Hashtag 4) and Pediacel (patient 1 and 2; Hashtag 5). Hashtag info in ADT files, TCR sequences provided in VDJ files.
Project description:The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of protective vaccination on the miRNome of the liver during the crisis phase in vaccination-induced self-healing infections of Plasmodium chabaudi in comparison to lethal infections in non-protected Balb/c mice using Agilentâs microRNA expression microarrays.
