Project description:Objective: To study the physiological role of eosinophils in the GI tract and lung under homeostatic conditions, Method: we analyzed tissue-specific eosinophil gene expression patterns by genome-wide expression microarray analysis using RNA isolated from FACS-sorted eosinophils from the small intestine or lung of naive BALB/cmice (Live eosinophils were identified as DAPI-CCR3+Siglec-F+CD45+CD4-CD8a-CD19-B220-SSChigh cells). Result: There are 513 genes that are differentially expressed by intestinal eosinophils and Lung eosinophils. Conclusion: Eosinophils from different tissues have unique gene expression patterns for distinct functions. we analyzed tissue-specific eosinophil gene expression patterns by genome-wide expression microarray analysis using RNA isolated from FACS-sorted eosinophils from the small intestine or lung of naive BALB/cmice (Live eosinophils were identified as DAPI-CCR3+Siglec-F+CD45+CD4-CD8a-CD19-B220-SSChigh cells).

Project description:Basophils are the least common granulocytes which represent less than 1% of peripheral blood leukocytes. Recent development of analytical tools for basophils has enabled us to understand their critical roles in allergic reactions and protection from parasitic infections. Nevertheless, the differentiation trajectory of basophils remain unclear. To explore differentiation trajectory of basophils, we conducted highly sensitive single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of bone marrow-derived basophils (BMBAs) and basophils under homeostatic conditions. As a result, we identified previously-unappreciated pre-basophils which are located down-stream of bi-potential basophil and mast cell common precursors and upstream of mature basophils along the ontogeny of basophlis.
Project description:Plants monitor and integrate temperature, photoperiod and light quality signals to respond to continuous changes in their environment. The GIGANTEA (GI) protein is central in diverse signaling pathways, including photoperiodic, sugar and light signaling pathways, stress responses and circadian clock regulation. Previously, GI was shown to activate expression of the key floral regulators CONSTANS (CO) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) by facilitating degradation of a family of CYCLING DOF FACTOR (CDF) transcriptional repressors. However, whether CDFs are implicated in other processes regulated by GI remains unclear. We investigated the contribution of the GI-CDF module to traits that depend on GI. Transcriptome profiling indicated that mutations in GI and the CDFs have antagonistic effects on expression of a wider set of genes than CO and FT, whilst other genes are regulated by GI independently of the CDFs. Detailed expression studies followed by phenotypic assays showed that the CDFs function downstream of GI to control responses to freezing temperatures and growth, but are not necessary for proper clock function. Thus GI-mediated regulation of CDFs contributes to several processes in addition to flowering, but is not implicated in all of the phenotypes influenced by GI. Seedlings of Col-0, the cdf1-R cdf2-1 cdf3-1 cdf5-1 quadruple mutant, gi-100 and gi-100 cdf1-R cdf2-1 cdf3-1 cdf5-1 quintuple mutant were grown for 10 days under LD conditions (16h light/8h dark). The aerial part of the seedlings was collected at ZT12 and RNA was prepared from three biological replicas
