Project description:We cultured bone marrow derived dendritic cells from WT and CD11c KO mice. Then, a group of bone marrow dendritic cells were stimulated with LPS overnight. We obtained bone marrow derived dendritic cells with or without LPS stimulation and analyzed proteomics profiles.
Project description:Purpose:The purpose of this study is to detect activated or silenced genes during LPS-induced dendritic cell maturation. Gene expression differences between two samples could be found using transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) analysis. Methods:Mouse dendritic cells were generated from bone marrow cells in RPMI-1640 medium with recombinant mouse GM-CSF and IL-4, mature DCs were obtained after LPS induced maturation. Immature DCs and mature DCs were sorted respectively based on maturation marker CD86 and Iab(MHCII) using flowcytrometer. DC mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing,using Illumina Results: We mapped about 10 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome, identified 1,300 upregulated genes and 1,475 dow regulated genes during dendritic cell maturation.
Project description:This experiment is designed to compare the effects of Vitamin D3 treatment of mouse bone marrow derived dendritic cells with control, untreated cells, and additional effects of maturation of either treated or control cells with LPS.

Project description:To understand the gene expression dynamics during Flt3L induced Bone-marrow derived dendritic cell (BMDC) differentatiion we performed RNA-seq. Three distinct stages were chosen and included the initial bone marrow cells, the Common Myeloid Progenitor (CMP), and fully differentiated BMDC.
Project description:Mouse bone marrow derived dendritic cells were generated by culturing bone marrow cells at a density of 0.5x10E6 cells/ml in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 5% FCS, 1% Pen/Strep, 5microM 2-mercaptoethanol, 20ng/ml GM-CSF. At day 7 dendritic cells were stimulated or not with 500 ng/ml LPS, and collected at day 10.
2x10E8 cells were used to prepare whole cell extracts and to perform PU.1 immunoprecipitaion with PU.1 antibody (T-21 Santa Cruz). IgG was used as control.
Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis using primary murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BM-DCs) for recombinant articulatin B chain (rATB) treatment. We reported that rATB regulates immunological related genes in BM-DCs. rATB induces CD4 T cell type I driven and maturation genes in BM-DCs.
Project description:Heme is an erythrocyte-derived toxin that drives disease progression in hemolytic anemias. During hemolysis, specialized bone marrow-derived macrophages with a high heme-metabolism capacity orchestrate disease adaptation by removing damaged erythrocytes and heme-protein complexes from the blood and supporting iron recycling for erythropoiesis. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing with RNA velocity analysis of GM-CSF-supplemented mouse bone marrow cultures to assess myeloid differentiation under heme stress. We found that heme-activated NRF2 signaling shifted the differentiation trajectories of cells towards antioxidant, iron-recycling macrophages at the expense of dendritic cells, as these cells were selectively deficient in heme-exposed bone marrow cultures. Heme eliminated the capacity of GM-CSF-supplemented bone marrow cultures to activate antigen-specific T cells. The generation of functionally competent dendritic cells was restored by NRF2 loss. The heme-induced phenotype was reproduced in hemolytic mice with sickle cell disease and spherocytosis and associated with reduced dendritic cell functions in the spleen. Our data provide a novel mechanistic underpinning how hemolytic stress may provoke hyposplenism-related secondary immunodeficiency, which is a critical determinant of mortality in patients with genetic hemolytic anemias.
