Project description:Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize microbial-derived riboflavin metabolites presented by the evolutionarily conserved MR1 molecule. Their persistent loss in chronic HIV-1 infection is a significant insult to antimicrobial immune defenses. Here we explore MAIT cell dynamics in the critical acute stages of HIV-1 infection for the first time
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE33387: NanoString miRNA profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-1-infected elite suppressors, viremic patients, and uninfected control donors GSE33492: TaqMan Peripheral blood mononuclear cell miRNA profiles of HIV-1-infected elite suppressors, viremic patients, and uninfected control donors Refer to individual Series
Project description:To show the similarity among MAIT-iPSCs, hiPSCs and hESCs and the gradual change of global gene expression of reMAIT cells along with differentiation, this experiment was designed. MAIT cells, MAIT-iPSCs, hiPSCs, hESCs, MAIT cells, and reMAIT cells at the several differerent stages of differentiation were collected. Then, they were applied in this experiment.
Project description:This study used TaqMan low-density arrays to identify and quantitate whole peripheral blood miRNAs of 23 chronically HIV-infected subjects with different clinical characteristics and sought to identify a diagnostic/prognostic miRNA signature to diagnose/predict the outcome of chronic HIV infection
Project description:MAIT cells (MAITs) represent an abundant T lymphocyte subset with unique specificity for microbial metabolites presented by the MHC-1b molecule, MR1. MAIT conservation along evolution indicates important, non-redundant functions, but their low frequency in mice has hampered their detailed characterization. Here, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of murine MAITs in comparison with NKT subsets and with mainstream T cells in spleen and peripheral organs of B6-MAIT/CAST mice expressing a Rorc-GFP transgene. MAIT and NKT cells have been FACS-sorted after tetramer staining (MR1:5-OP-RU Tet+ for MAIT, CD1d:PBS57Tet+ for NKT), and 1/17 subsetting based on the expression of Rorc.
Project description:This study used TaqMan low-density arrays to identify and quantitate circulating cellular miRNAs during HIV-1 elite suppression, active HIV-1 replication, and uninfected status. Blood samples were from six uninfected controls, six HIV-1 elite suppressors with undetectable viral load, and six viremic HIV-1-infected patients.

Project description:Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional innate-like T cells that recognize microbial riboflavin metabolites presented by the MHC class I-like protein MR1. Human MAIT cells predominantly express the CD8α co-receptor (CD8+), with a smaller subset lacking both CD4 and CD8 (DN). However, it is unclear if these two MAIT cell sub-populations distinguished by CD8α represent functionally distinct subsets. To address this, we investigated the phenotypic, transcriptional, and functional differences between CD8+ and DN MAIT cells using human samples from peripheral blood, mucosal tissues, and fetal tissues.
Project description:This study used the NanoString nCounter hybridization system and nCounter miRNA expression assays to identify and quantitate circulating cellular miRNAs during HIV-1 elite suppression, active HIV-1 replication, and uninfected status. Blood samples were from eight uninfected controls, seven HIV-1 elite suppressors with undetectable viral load, and six viremic HIV-1-infected patients.
Project description:We enriched circulating and hepatic CD161N, CD161P and MAIT cells through flow sorting from heathy donors and HBV-infected patients to perform next-generation sequencing (NGS). Illumina mRNA-seq sample preparation kit was used to perform paired-end library sequencing with Illumina novaseq 6000 and sequence analysis was determined using the Illumina data analysis pipeline. Based on the comparison results, we performed the GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. That might suggest the different status of CD161N,CD161P and MAITcells from healthy donors and HBV-infected patients.
