Project description:Adult naïve CD4 T cells demonstrate differences in H3K4me3 patterning with H3K4me3 enrichment in T cell activation pathways compared to neonatal cells.
Project description:Adult naïve CD4 T cells demonstrate differences in chromatin accessibility with increased chromatin accessibility in T cell receptor signaling pathways compared to neonatal cells.
Project description:We sought to determine the impact of chorioamnionitis exposure on the neonatal monocyte H3K4me3 histone modification landscape over the course of fetal and neonatal immune system development using ChIP-seq. H3K4me3 ChIP-seq was performed on umbilical cord blood purified CD14+ monocytes from healthy and chorioamnionitis-exposed extremely preterm neonates (under 30 weeks gestation), late preterm neonates (30-36 weeks gestation), and term neonates (37+ weeks gestation).
Project description:Neonates are intrinsically defective at creating memory CD8+ T cells in response to infection with intracellular pathogens. Here we investigated differential of small RNAs, transcription factors, and chemokine receptors regulation in neonates as compared to adults before and during infection. We found that prior to infection, naïve cells have a different expression profile for many microRNAs, and gene targets of these microRNAs show widespread expression differences. These targets and other changes in gene expression in naïve cells result in neonatal cells that get activated more easily, express chemokine receptors that home to sites of infection, and are less protected from apoptosis during contraction. As a result, changes in neonatal naïve cells drive effector cell terminal differentiation at the expense of creating long-lived memory cells. total RNAs were sequenced from adult and neonatal CD8+ T cells before and during infection

Project description:We compared differences in fetal and adult T cells by performing whole genome profiling on sort-purified T cells (naïve CD4+ and Treg cells) from human fetal specimens (18-22 gestational weeks) and adult specimens (age 25-40 years old). Fetal and Adult Naïve CD4+ T cells phenotype: CD3+CD4+CD45RA+CCR7+CD27+, Fetal and Adult CD4+CD25+ Treg phenotype: CD3+CD4+CD25bright Four different groups were analyzed: Fetal Naïve CD4+ T cells, Adult Naïve CD4+ T cells, Fetal Treg cells, Adult Treg cells. For each group three independent donors were analyzed.
