Metabolomics of Lin-Sca1+Kit+ (LSK) cells in NM mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: LSKs from transgenic mice are harvested and sorted via flow cytometry. They are collected after two sorts as DAPI-, Lineage-, Sca1+, c-kit+ cells.
Project description:We performed 3 single-cell RNAseq experiments to dissect the postnatal islet heterogeneity. In order to reach our goal, we used the Fltp lineage tracing (FltpiCre mTmG) mouse line. Thus we used mice at the age of 16 days, isolated islets of Langerhans from them and sorted via flow cytometry the three Fltp subpopulations.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis was conducted to investigate the gene expression profiles of pDCs using bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donors (n=3) were stained with lineage markers (CD3, CD14, CD16, CD19, and CD56), and pDCs were identified via flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting [FACS]) based on the co-expression of IL-3R (CD123) and BDCA-2 (CD303). mDCs were identified using CD11c and sorted from the same PBMC donor as a control. After sorting, mRNA was extracted from the sorted cells, including mDCs and pDCs. The whole transcriptome profile was analyzed via RNA-seq.
Project description:Background: To define changes in gene expression from stem cells and early progenitor cells lacking histone deacetylase 3 (Hdac3), we purified bone marrow Lineage Negative, Sca1/cKit positive and Flt3 negative cells from wild type and Vav-Cre/Hdac3Flox/- mice. These lineage-specific knock out mice lack Hdac3 throughout the hematopoietic system. To ensure that only cells lacking Hdac3 were measured, we used a Lox-STOP-Lox-ROSA26-GFP transgene such that any cell containing active Cre also expresses GFP. Methods: Bone marrow cells were harvested from 10-30 mice and the lineage negative fraction was separated using the Lineage Cell Depletion Kit and MACS columns (Miltenyi Biotec). The lineage negative fraction was then stained with antibodies for flow cytometry and the GFP positive fraction of the LSK/Flt3 cells were sorted on a Becton Dickinson FACSAria. Total RNA was isolated from the sorted bone marrow cells using a PerfectPure RNA extraction kit (5 Prime). LSK/Flt3- cells pooled from 2 groups of 5 null mice were compared to LSK/Flt3- or LSK/Flt3+ cells pooled from 30 wild type mice. The expression of individual genes was verified using reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR. Conclusion: Hematopoietic stem and early progenitor cells fail to express gene that are typically turned on early during lymphoid development.

Project description:Analysis of hematopoietic LSK(Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+) cells lacking the Serum response factor (SRF) gene. Results provide insight into the role of SRF in regulating genetic programs important for hematopoietic stem cell development Comparison of the gene expression profile between murine Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+ cells from Mx-Cre C57BL/6 Srf WT (3) and C57BL/6 Srf KO (3). Cells were sorted by flow cytometry and RNA was harvested and hybridized to Affymetrix MOE430A.
Project description:Human mucosa was collected from two different individuals undergoing colectomy. After treatment with EDTA, colonic crypts were isolated and further dis-aggregated using Dispase. Next, cells were stained using antibodies directed against the extracellular domain of EpCAM, PTK7, CD11, CD31, and CD45. Cells were analyzed and sorted via flow cytometry (BD Aria). After excluding non-epithelial cells (Epcam. CD11, CD31, and CD45 negative), the EpCAM positive fraction was divided into fractions expressing either high, medium, low, or negative levels of PTK7. Sorted cells were transferred to Trizol for RNA extraction and RNA was purified using the Qiagen RNA Mini Kit.
Project description:Single-cell RNAseq (10x Genomics) analysis of mouse splenic CD4+ T cells in WT and ∆Foxp3 mice and in WT/∆Foxp3 bone marrow chimeras. Mouse CD4+T cells in 21-day-old male WT and ∆Foxp3 mice were isolated from spleen by flow cytometry as DAPI–TCRβ+CD4+ cells for 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V2 chemistry, one sample per channel). For bone marrow chimera experiment: 7 week-old CD45.2-recipient mice were irradiated with 1000 Rad, reconstituted with 4 million CD3-depleted bone marrow cells: 50% CD45.1 x Foxp3-IRES-GFP (WT, 21d-old male) and 50% Foxp3DeltaEGFPiCre/RFP x ROSA-YFP x CD45.1/2 (scurfy, 21d-old male). 10 weeks later, spleen were harvested and tagged using a different Hashtags fo each mouse. ∆Foxp3 CD4+ T cells were sorted as DAPI–TCRb+CD4+CD45.1+CD45.2+. WT CD4+ T cells were sorted as DAPI–TCRb+CD4+CD45.1+CD45.2–. Control WT DAPI–TCRb+CD4+GFP+ Treg cells and GFP- Tconvs cells were also tagged and sorted. Samples with different hastags were pooled before single cell encapsulation using 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V3 chemistry).
Project description:To determine the underlying molecular mechanisms that control the homing and self-renewal activities of P2x7-null Mac-1+c-Kit+ LICs, WT and P2x7-null LICs were WT and P2x7-KO were sorted by flow cytometry, followed by the extraction of total RNA and subjected to the RNA-sequencing.
