Project description:Transcriptional profiling and gene expression profiling analysis of sorted CD8+IL-10+ T cells compared to CD8+IL-10- T cells using IL-10-GFP(tiger) reporter mice
Project description:IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that has been shown to be produced by antigen-specific CD8 T cells at the peak of viral encephalitis. We found that IL-10+CD8 T cells are more activated and cytolytic than IL-10-CD8 T cells. We used microarrays to detect gene expression changes in directly ex vivo sorted CNS IL-10+ and IL-10- CD8 T cells from a neurotropic J2.2-V-1-infected mouse.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling and gene expression profiling analysis of sorted CD8+IL-10+ T cells compared to CD8+IL-10- T cells using IL-10-GFP(tiger) reporter mice Two sample, CD8+IL-10+ T cells vs CD8+IL-10- T cells. Three replicate per array.
Project description:Ex vivo generated tolerogenic dendritic cells (tDCs) have a strong therapeutic potential to induce antigen-specific iTreg upon infusion in patients. We previously demonstrated that IL-10 tDC-primed T cells are very suppressive and produce IL-10. Here, we show that the majority of the IL-10+ T cells co-express IFNγ, giving rise to the question whether these cells are proinflammatory or regulatory. Whole genome gene expression analysis revealed a strong regulatory gene profile and a suppressed Th1 gene profile for the IL-10/ IFNγ co-expressing CD4+ T cells.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human peripheral B cell subsets sorted by flow cytometry based on the secretion of IL-10 in response to CpG2006 stimulation. Goal was to identify molecular markers to distinguish IL-10-producing B cells form non-IL-10-producing B cells.
Project description:The mechanisms in regulating the development of IL-10 producing B cells are largely unknown. To clarify which transcription factor is critical for regulation of IL-10 producing B cells, we compared the gene expression profile of IL-10 positive B cells and IL-10 negative B cells. Transcriptional repressor Prdm1/Blimp1 is known to play a key role in controlling B ells differentiation. We show a dual role for Blimp-1 in IL-10 expression in IL-10 producing B cells and plasmablasts.
Project description:Calcitriol, the active metabolite of vitamin D, modulates immune responses via vitamin D receptor (VDR)-dependent signaling, but its role in innate lymphoid cell (ILC) development remains underexplored. This study elucidates the mechanisms by which calcitriol promotes the differentiation and migration of IL-10+IL-22+ ILC3s from ILC progenitors (ILCPs) in murine and human systems, with implications for intestinal inflammatory disorders.
