Project description:To compare gene expression between CD11b+ IgA and CD11b- IgA cells in the small intestine, each cell population was isolated from the murine small intestine. Similar experiment with different sample was performed as described in Gene expression on CD11b+ IgA and CD11b- IgA cells in the small intestine #02
Project description:Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) is a potent regulator of lymphocyte differentiation, activation and migration. However, its functional role in adaptive and humoral immunity remains elusive. Therefore, by using mice with a B cell-specific deletion of KLF2, we investigated plasma cell differentiation and antibody responses. We revealed that the deletion of KLF2 resulted in perturbed IgA plasma cell compartmentalization, characterized by the absence of IgA plasma cells in the bone marrow, their reductions in the spleen, the blood and the lamina propria of the colon and the small intestine, concomitant with their accumulation and retention in mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches. Most intriguingly, secretory IgA in the intestinal lumen was almost absent, dimeric serum IgA was drastically reduced and antigen-specific IgA responses to soluble Salmonella flagellin were blunted in KLF2-deficient mice. Perturbance of IgA plasma cell localization was caused by deregulation of CCR9, Integrin chains αM, α4, β7, and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors. Hence, KLF2 not only orchestrates the localization of IgA plasma cells by fine-tuning chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules but also controls IgA responses to Salmonella flagellin.
Project description:In order to provide information on the peptide sequence of the IgA glycopeptides, a proteomics analysis was run on LC-MS/MS data of N-glycosidase F-digested IgA samples, in which the N-glycans had been released. The samples included IgA (isolated) from: 1) the saliva samples from two healthy donors, 2) a pooled-plasma standard from a minimum of 20 human donors (VisuCon-F Frozen Normal Control Plasma; Affinity Biologicals, Ancaster, Canada), 3) 10 μg of a human plasma-derived IgA standard (Lee Biosolutions, Maryland Heights, MO), and 4) a human colostrum-derived SIgA standard (Athens Research and Technology, Athens, GA).

Project description:This study identifies immune transcript signatures that may predict IgAV nephritis in skin biopsies and distinguish IgA-IRGN from IgAN and IgAV in kidney biopsies
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE35487: Expression data from human with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) [HG-U133A] GSE35488: Expression data from human with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) [HG-U133A_ENTREZG_10] Refer to individual Series
Project description:The current study makes use of NanoString targeted technology to profile urinary exosomal miRNAs from IgA nephropathy affected patients and corresponding healthy controls. Circulatory biomarkers were detected for IgA nephropathy from Indian cohort which can be made used for the diagnostic therapy. 14 miRNAs were detected to be related to the disregulation in miRNome of IgA nephropathy patients using lasso feature selection method, out of which multiple miRNAs like hsa.mir.146b.3p, hsa.mir.599 and many more was resulted with high AUROC values >=0.9 efficient in differentiating between healthy controls and IgA nephropathy condition. These markers can be use further in the diagnosis and treatment of IgAN.
Project description:Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody in the intestinal tract. Recent studies show that discrete subsets of gut human plasma cells (PCs) release IgA, which contributes to the maintenance of gut homeostasis. To better characterize the properties of these PC subsets, we performed global transcriptome analysis in naïve B cells as well as immature CD19+IgA+CD138- PCs, mature CD19+IgA+CD138+ PCs and late CD19-IgA+CD138+ PCs after their purification from human colon samples.
