Project description:We used RNA-seq to examine transcriptional proflies of midguts with suppression of Imd in progenitors (e_* samples) or enterocytes (M_* samples) . We found significant differences between the contributions of enterocyte IMD and progenitor IMD to intestinal homeostasis.
Project description:We used RNA-seq to examine transcriptional profiles of midgut progenitor cells with suppression of Imd in progenitors. We found significant differences between the contributions of progenitor IMD to intestinal homeostasis.
Project description:Innate immune responses contributed to the containment of intestinal microbes. We used microarrays to examine transcriptional profiles of imflamed guts raised in convential or germ-free conditions. We found that gut inflammation and the gut microbiome regulate the expression of several hundred host genes.
