Project description:The transcriptome of Ctrl and Vitamin A-deficient longterm hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) and multipotant progenitors (MPP3/4) was assessed by RNAseq.
Project description:Here we addressed the mRNA transcriptome of Long-Term Hematopoietic Stem Cells (LT-HSC) and Multipotent Progenitor (MPP) -3 and -4 purified from WT and Helios KO mice. By analyzing the differentially expressed genes among WT and KO condition we found that Helios deletion affects transcription mostly in the LT-HSC compartment and favor a megakaryocyte mRNA lineage priming at the expense of the lymphoid one.
Project description:High ploidy large cytoplasmic megakaryocytes (LCM) are critical negative regulators of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and are responsible for platelet formation. Using a mouse knockout model with normal megakaryocyte numbers but essentially devoid of LCM (MK-LCM KO), we demonstrated a pronounced increase in bone marrow HSC concurrent with endogenous mobilization and extramedullary hematopoiesis. When HSC isolated from a MK-LCM KO microenvironment were transplanted in lethally irradiated mice, the absence of LCM increased HSC in BM, blood and spleen. Severe thrombocytopenia was observed in animals with diminished LCM, although there was no change in megakaryocyte ploidy distribution. In contrast, WT HSC-generated LCM regulated a normal HSC pool and prevented thrombocytopenia. The present label-free quantitative LC-MSMS data was used to determine proteins that are differentially expressed in bone marrow cells of MK-LCM WT versus MK-LCM KO mice.
Project description:To understand the mechanisms through which JunB regulates Tregs-mediated immune regulation, we examined the global gene expression profiles in the JunB WT and KO Tregs by performing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
