Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE18524: Identification of the Early VIP Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Resting Murine CD4 T Cells GSE18525: Identification of the Early VIP Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Activated Murine CD4 T Cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:Identification of the Early Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Activated Murine CD4 T Cells In an attempt to understand the biological role of this neuropeptide in the immune system, we choose CD4 T cells as a cellular system for identifying a VIP-induced transcriptome. Murine CD4 T cells were isolated and used to identify changes in gene expression in the presence of PMA/ionomycin (activated) for five hours with and without 10-7 M VIP. Balanced-block design, 6 biological replicates. PMA/ionomycin (activated) mouse CD4 T spleenocytes with VIP ligand (sample) vs. PMA/ionomycin (activated) mouse CD4 T spleenocytes without VIP ligand (control), dye-swaps.

Project description:Identification of the Early VIP Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Resting and Activated Murine CD4 T Cells
Project description:Transcriptome analysis to investigate the effects of the smac mimetic AT406 on the differentiation of murine Th17 cells compared to DMSO controls, and to investigate the transriptome of murine Th17 cells compared to control undifferentiated naive CD4 T cells.
Project description:Naive CD4+ T cells are the common precursors of multiple effector and memory T cell subsets and possess a high plasticity in terms of differentiation potential. This stem-cell like character is important for cell therapies aiming at regeneration of specific immunity. Cell surface proteins are crucial for recognition and response to signals mediated by other cells or environmental changes. Knowledge of cell surface proteins of human naive CD4+ T cells and their changes during the early phase of T cell activation is urgently needed for a guided differentiation of naive T cells and may support the selection of pluripotent cells for cell therapy.<br>Periodate oxidation and aniline-catalyzed oxime ligation (PAL) technology was applied with subsequent quantitative LC-MS/MS (PAL-qLC-MS/MS) to generate a dataset describing the surface proteome of human naive CD4+ T cells and to monitor dynamic changes during the early phase of activation. This led to the identification of 173 N-glycosylated surface proteins, of which 24 were previously not known to be expressed on human naive CD4+ T cells or have no defined role within T cell activation. To independently confirm the proteomic dataset and to analyse the cell surface by an alternative technique a systematic phenotypic expression analysis of surface antigens via flow cytometry was performed. This screening expanded the previous dataset, resulting in 229 surface proteins which are expressed on naive unstimulated and activated CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, we generated a surface expression atlas based on transcriptome data, experimental annotation and predicted subcellular localization, and correlated the proteomics result with this transcriptional dataset.<br>This extensive surface atlas provides an overall naive CD4+ T cell surface resource and will enable future studies aiming at a deeper understanding of mechanisms of T cell biology allowing the identification of novel immune targets usable for the development of therapeutic treatments.
Project description:T cell activation leads to dramatic changes in cellular phenotype. We used CD3/CD28-activated human CD4 T cells to study how RNA binding proteins define the post-transcriptional landscape. Using RIPseq, we identified the RNA interactome of U2AF2 and show at the global level that U2AF2 binds the majority of transcripts that are differentially expressed and/or alternatively spliced during CD4 T cell activation. A unique protein interactome centered on U2AF2 is assembled in response to activation. Knocking down specific U2AF2 interacting partners (U2AF1, SYNCRIP, SRRM2, ILF2) selectively affects cytokine secretion and expression of activation markers. Furthermore, the expression and/or alternative splicing of transcripts important for immune cell function are also affected by knocking down these U2AF2 interacting proteins. U2AF1 and SYNCRIP knockdowns affect the proteins and transcripts bound to U2AF2, altering the transcriptome. Our work highlights the importance of RNA binding protein complexes in regulating the differential expression and alternative splicing that defines T cell activation.
