Project description:This study investigates the role of regulatory T cell–derived Areg on lung regeneration following influenza infection. We use single-cell RNA sequencing to capture the heterogeneity of lung mesenchymal populations during influenza infection. Here, we probe the gene expression changes within stromal cells from wildtype mice and in mice that conditionally lack Areg from T cell sources (CD4-cre Areg-flox) at day 8 post infection with PR8/H1N1. n = 1 per genotype.
Project description:This study investigates the role of regulatory T cell–derived Areg in driving epithelial repair following influenza infection. We use RNA sequencing to probe the gene expression changes within epithelial cells in wildtype mice and in mice that conditionally lack Areg from T cell sources (CD4-cre Areg-flox). Further, we identify a population of damage-associated transitional alveolar epithelial cells that are induced in reponse to acute injury and exhibit gene expression changes reflective of AT2 transdifferentiation to AT1.
Project description:This study investigates the role of regulatory T cell–derived Areg in driving epithelial repair following influenza infection. We use RNA sequencing to probe the gene expression changes within distinct mesenchymal cell subsets of the lung upon stimulation with EGF (50ng/mL), AREG (200ng/mL), or mock. n = 2 wells / group.
