Project description:mRNA profiling of mouse spleens comparing wild type spleens vs. spleens from mice having deletion of RBP-J in cells of the renin lineage which results in B-cell leukemia We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in wild type and the leukemic spleens which revealed upregulation of genes for cell cycle progression and B cell identity in the leukemic spleens.

Two condition experiment: wild type vs leukemic; biological replicates: individual mice - 2 wild type, 2 mutant. One replicate per array.
Project description:ChIP-Seq for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in wild type spleens and spleens from mice having deletion of RBP-J in cells of the renin lineage, which results in B-cell leukemia.
Project description:ChIP-Seq for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in wild type spleens and spleens from mice having deletion of RBP-J in cells of the renin lineage, which results in B-cell leukemia. Examination of 2 different histone modifications in wild type and mutant spleens.
Project description:NEK2 overexpression in the B cell lineage affects B cell development. To determine whether deficiency of NEK2 inhibits B cell malignancies, we crossed Nek2 knockout mice with Eμ-myc transgenic mice, a well-established Myc-driven preclinical model for B cell malignancies. Three genotyping offsprings were obtained: Eμ-myc/Nek2+/+ (NEK2 wild type), Eμ-myc/Nek2+/- (NEK2 heterozygotes), and Eμ-myc/Nek2-/- (NEK2 homozygotes). Bulk RNA-seq was performed on CD19-selected spleen B cells to view the transcriptome differences.
Project description:To characterize the changes that had occurred in splenic pre-cDCs in the absence of ADAM10, we performed RNA sequencing on sorted pre-cDC1 and 2 from the spleens of wild-type and ADAM10ΔDC mice. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis of all four groups demonstrated that distinct transcriptomic changes had taken place in ADAM10ΔDC pre-cDC2, while minimal changes were observed for pre-cDC1
Project description:Extramedullary erythropoiesis is not expected in healthy adult mice, but erythropoietic gene expression was elevated in lineage-depleted spleen cells from cd47−/− mice. Elevated expression of several genes associated with early stages of erythropoiesis was observed in mice lacking CD47 or its signaling ligand thrombospondin-1, consistent with previous evidence that this signaling pathway inhibits expression of multipotent stem cell transcription factors in spleen. In contrast, cells expressing markers of committed erythroid progenitors including erythropoietin receptor, aquaporin-1, glycophorin A, and erythrocyte membrane-associated protein were more abundant in cd47−/− spleens but significantly depleted in thbs1−/− spleens. Single cell transcriptome analysis indicated that loss of CD47 is associated with accumulation and increased proliferation of CD34− committed erythroid progenitors in spleen, consistent with the known function of CD47 to limit turnover of aging erythrocytes. Conversely, loss of thrombospondin-1 delays turnover, which suppresses erythropoiesis in thbs1−/− spleens relative to the basal level in wild type mice.

Project description:This dataset contains proteomic analyses that validate the spatial proteomic technology, NicheProt, and its application to investigate dendritic cell phenotypes in inflammed mouse spleens. NicheProt is a 3D optical microscopy-guided, photobleaching-mediated cell barcoding approach to isolate intact cell types from specific microanatomical niches. Integrating with sequential bottom-up LC-MS/MS analysis we identified two distinct CD11c⁺ dendritic cell phenotypes defined by their spatial distribution. These compartment-specific populations displayed differential expression of 54 proteins. This approach enables cell-type and microregion-resolved proteomic insights, revealing previously unrecognized cell subtypes and their roles within distinct tissue compartments.
