Project description:The ability to isolate pure pancreatic ß-cells would greatly aid multiple areas of diabetes research. We developed an exendin-4-like neopeptide conjugate for the rapid purification and isolation of functional pancreatic ß-cells. By targeting the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, ß-cells were isolated within an hour and were >99% pure. These studies were confirmed by immunostaining, confocal microscopy and microarray analysis on isolated cells. Gene expression profiling studies of the cytofluorometrically sorted ß-cells provided new insights into the genetic programs at play of different ages and stages during type-1 diabetes development. The described isolation method should have broad applicability to the ß-cell field. Microarray profile of beta cells from isolated islets from 4 and 12 week old NOD mice. Cells were stained with 50 nM Ex4+ probe and sorted on FACS ARIA. DAPI and CD45+ cells were excluded.

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) accumulate in skeletal muscle from dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. Analysis of global gene expression in muscles from mdx mice treated with anti-CD25 compared with muscles from mdx mice treated with control antibody revealed that Tregs partially protect mdx mice from muscle pathology and promote muscle repair/regeneration. Mdx mice received 2 ip injections of 100 mg of anti-CD25 mAb (clone PC61) or rat IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) at days 17 and 20 of age. Muscles were dissected 7 days after the last injection.

Project description:A comparative analysis of gene expression of injured skeletal muscle from wild-type (Foxp3-DTR-) and Treg-depleted (Foxp3-DTR+) mice showed that Treg cells are critical for effective repair and regeneration of acute injury of skeletal muscle. Foxp3-DTR+ and Foxp3-DTR- mice were injured with cardiotoxin in TA muscle at day 0 and treated with diphtheria toxin every other day from day 0 until dissection on day 4 or 8. TA muscle was flash-frozen and RNA was extracted using Trizol. RNA from whole tissue samples was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.

Project description:Global gene expression analysis of injured skeletal muscle showed that amphiregulin (Areg), a growth factor over-expressed by muscle Treg cells, enhances muscle regeneration both in the presence and in the absence of Tregs. Foxp3-DTR+ and Foxp3-DTR- mice were injured with cardiotoxin in TA muscle at day 0 and treated with diphtheria toxin every other day from day 0 until dissection. Amphiregulin or PBS were administered im on day 0 and ip every other day until dissection. TA muscle was flash-frozen and RNA was extracted using Trizol. RNA from whole tissue samples was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of Monocytes (CD14+CD16-) from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PBMCs were isolated from healthy individuals from the Boston area. Over the course of 18 months, fresh blood samples from healthy participants were collected following a rigorous, standardized set of procedures (SOP). 15ml of blood was collected and used to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). From the PBMCS, cell population of interest, CD14+CD16-, underwent a two-step sorting strategy in order to achieve cell purity >99%. mRNAs from these cells were profiled on Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene ST 1.0 microarrays. Raw data CEL files were processed using the Robust Multichip Average (RMA) algorithm in Affymetrix PowerTools. To account for non-genetic factors such as batch effects, age, gender, and technical artifacts in gene expression data, we used Principal Component Analysis (PCA). PCs were estimated separately from the gene expression matrix for each population. The optimal numbers of PCs for association analysis were determined based on the PC that resulted in maximum number of cis-eQTLs. This procedure identified 20, 10, and 14 PCs in EU, EA and AA monocytes, respectively.

These are the same expression matrices that were used for the eQTL association analysis.

Project description:TIGIT+ Tregs suppress Th1 and Th17 responses while sparing Th2 responses. Analysis of global gene expression of TIGIT+ vs. TIGIT- Tregs from naive mice reveled that TIGIT+ Tregs display an activated phenotype and are enriched for Treg signature genes including the Treg effector molecule Fgl2 which enables them to selectively spare Th2 responses. TIGIT+ and TIGIT- Tregs were sorted from naïve Foxp3-GFP KI mice (pooled spleen and lymph nodes) TIGIT: T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains

Project description:The colonic lamina propria contains a distinct population of Foxp3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) that modulate responses to commensal microbes. Analysis of gene expression revealed that the transcriptome of colonic Tregs is distinct from splenic and other tissue Tregs. Rorγ and Helios in colonic Tregs mark distinct populations: Rorγ+Helios- or Rorγ-Helios+ Tregs. We uncovered an unanticipated role for Rorγ, a transcription factor generally considered to be antagonistic to Foxp3. Rorγ in colonic Tregs accounts for a small but specific part of the colon-specific Treg signature. (1) Total colonic and splenic Foxp3+ Treg comparison: Lymphocytes were isolated from colonic lamina propria and spleens of Foxp3-ires-GFP mice, where GFP reports Foxp3 expression. TCRb+CD4+GFP+ cells were double sorted into Trizol. (2) Colonic Rorγ+ and Rorγ- Treg comparison: Foxp3-ires-Thy1.1 reporter mice were crossed to Rorc-GFP reporter mice to generate mice that report both Foxp3 and Rorγ expression. Rorγ+Foxp3+ Tregs (TCRb+CD4+Thy1.1+GFP+) and Rorγ-Foxp3+ Tregs (TCRb+CD4+Thy1.1+GFP-) from colonic lamina propria were double sorted into Trizol.To reduce variability and increase cell number, cells from multiple mice were pooled for sorting and at least three replicates were generated for all groups. RNA from 1.5-3.0 x104 cells was amplified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.
