Project description:Cellular binary fate decisions require the progeny to silence genes associated with the alternative fate. The major subsets of alpha:beta T cells have been extensively studied as a model system for fate decisions. While the transcription factor RUNX3 is required for the initiation of Cd4 silencing in CD8 T cell progenitors, it is not required to maintain the silencing of Cd4 and other helper T lineage genes. The other runt domain containing protein, RUNX1, silences Cd4 in an earlier T cell progenitor, but this silencing is reversed whereas the gene silencing after RUNX3 expression is not reverse. Therefore, we hypothesized that RUNX3 and not RUNX1 recruits other factors that maintains the silencing of helper T lineage genes in CD8 T cells. To this end, we performed a proteomics screen of RUNX1 and RUNX3 to determine candidate silencing factors.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE4938: murine CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from wildtype and Gfi knockout cells; GSE4940: murine T-cells from wildtype and Gfi1 knockout mice activated by anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 for 0 to 24h Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:to compare the transcriptomes of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from Gfi1-knockout cells with wildtype cells, spleenocytes from wildtype and Gfi-knockout C57Bl/6 mice were isolated, stained with CD44, CD4 and CD8 antibodies and separated by using a FACS Diva (Becton Dickinson). Total RNAs isolated from 2 mice each (approximately 2xE06 cells) were pooled and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix MOE430A_2.0 arrays Experiment Overall Design: 4 samples, 1 replicate per group

Project description:The importance of unanchored Ub in innate immunity has been shown only for a limited number of unanchored Ub-interactors. We investigated what additional cellular factors interact with unanchored Ub and whether unanchored Ub plays a broader role in innate immunity. To identify unanchored Ub-interacting factors from murine lungs, we used His-tagged recombinant poly-Ub chains as bait. These chains were mixed with lung tissue lysates and protein complexes were isolated with Ni-NTA beads. Sample elutions were subjected to mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) analysis.
