Project description:we applied label-free quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis to delineate the dynamics of galectin-1-induced signaling in comparison with the first systematic phosphorylation-mediated signaling network in B cell activation by anti-IgM treatment.
Project description:RNAseq analysis of CD40 + IgM in vitro-stimulated (24 hours) murine relfl/flCD19-Cre (furtheron designated as REL) and CD19-Cre (furtheron designated as WT) splenic B cells identifies genes regulated by the transcription factor c-REL in activated B cells. Splenic B cells from 12-week old relfl/flCD19-Cre and CD19-Cre littermate mice were isolated by magnetic cell separation from splenic mononuclear cells and stimulated in vitro for 24 hours with anti-CD40 and anti-IgM. RNA was isolated and submitted for RNA-sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2000 instrument for 30 million single-ended reads.

Project description:The activation signaling of transcription factor nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) plays central role for immune system. One of key kinase mediating this pathway is TAK1 in adaptive and innate immunity. However, role of TAK1 in B cell receptor signaling is still unclear. To know effects of TAK1-deletion on the gene expression induced by anti-IgM, we performed the time course analysis in comparison of wild type with TAK1-deleted splenic B cells. Splenic B cells were purified by depleting CD43+ cells. Purified B Cells were stimulated with 10 µg/ml of anti-IgM for 1, 3, 6, or 24hr. Two replicated samples were analysed. Unstimulated cells (0) were control.
Project description:This RNA-seqexperiment was designed to find transciptional differences between wildtype and Themis2-deficient B cells either directly ex-vivo or stimulated for 6 h with various stimuli in vitro. It is part of a larger study on the function of Themis2 in B cells. Therefore splenic, live, B220+ CD93- IgM+ CD23+ follicular B cells were sorted by flow cytometry from wildtype or Themis2-deficient (Themis2KO/KO) C57BL/6J mice. Unstimulated samples were were lysed directly after the sort. Stimulated samples were stimulated in vitro for 6 h at 37 degree Celsius at a concentration of 3 million cells/mL with either 10 microgram/mL anti-IgM or 10 microgram/mL LPS or 1 microgram/mL CD40L with 0.1 microgram/mL IL-4 and then lysed. RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent (Life Technologies) and cleaned up using the RNEasy Mini Kit (Quiagen). Single end, unstranded, poly-A-enriched libraries were made using the TruSeq RNA sample preparation kit (Illumina). Samples were analysed with an Illumina HiSeq 2000, collecting 13.2 to 76.1 million reads of 75 bases per sample.
Project description:Control or Mef2c-deficient (cKO) B cells were treated with 5ug/ml anti-IgM for 0, 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours before harvesting RNA for analysis.
Project description:To dissect the molecular regulatory mechanism of Pbx1 in peripheral B cell survival and proliferation, splenic B cells from CKO and Ctrl mice were sorted and stimulated with anti-IgM for 6 hours. Then RNA was extracted for sequencing.
Project description:To simulate transient B cell activation that is the likely initiator of T-dependent responses, we examined the molecular and functional consequences of a single-round of immunoglobulin M (IgM) signaling. This form of activation triggered early cytosolic signaling and transcription factor NF-kB activation indistinguishably from conventional continuous IgM cross-linking, but did not induce G1 progression. However, single-round IgM signaling changed the expression of chemokine and chemokine receptor genes implicated in initiating T-dependent responses, as well as accentuated responsiveness to CD40 signaling. Several features of single-round IgM signaling in vitro were recapitulated in B cells after short-term exposure to antigen in vivo. We propose that transient BCR signals prime B cells to receive T cell help by increasing the probability of B-T encounter and creating a cellular environment that is hyper-responsive to CD40 signaling. Primary B lymphocytes were isolated using Auto-MACS (Miltenyi Biotec) by negative selection. B cell purity was 90-95% based on flow cytometric analysis with CD19 staining. Purified B cells (2x10^6/ml) were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 55nM beta-mercaptoethanol, 2mM L-glutamine and 100IU penicillin and 100ug/ml streptomycin at 37degrees C. For pulsed anti-IgM treatment experiments, B cells were incubated with 10ug/ml goat anti-mouse IgM F(abâ)2 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) at 4 degrees C for 30 min. Unbound anti-IgM was removed from the medium by washing and centrifuging the cells at 4 degrees C. The cells were resuspended in chilled complete medium and shifted to 37 degrees C by placing in an incubator or in water-bath. For continuous anti-IgM treatment experiments, B cells were stimulated with 10ug/ml anti-IgM at 4 degrees C for 30 min, then incubated at 37 degrees C.
