Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff3 knock-out mouse model, 21 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain.
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff2 knock-out mouse model, 48 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain.
Project description:Endogenous molecules generated upon pathogen invasion or tissue damage serve as danger signals that activate host defence, however their precise immunological role remains unclear. Tenascin-C is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is specifically induced upon injury and infection. We have shown that its expression is required to generate an effective immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during experimental sepsis in vivo. Tenascin-C enables macrophage translation of pro-inflammatory cytokines upon LPS activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and suppresses the synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines. It mediates post-transcriptional control of a specific subset of inflammatory mediators via induction of the microRNA miR-155. Thus tenascin-C plays a key role in regulating the inflammatory axis during pathogenic activation of TLR signaling. The data deposited here include the analysis of miRNA profile of tnc+/+ and tnc-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) following stimulation with LPS for 8 hours. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were cultured in complete DMEM medium, non-stimulated or stimulated for 8 hours with 100ng/ml LPS and total RNA was extracted. Samples were analysed with TaqMan Low Density Arrays (Applied Biosystems).
