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).
