The effect of the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene on the transcriptional expression profile of 3.10 mTEC cell line.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) contribute to self-tolerance through the ectopic expression of peripheral tissue antigens (PTAs) in the thymus. PTA expression in mTECs is largely dependent on the autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene. Here we used a Mus musculus mTEC cell line (3.10 mTEC line, which constitutively express Aire in culture) to knockdown Aire gene by means of siRNA transfection. Aire knockdown was confirmed by means of qRT-PCR and RNA-FISH (for Aire mRNA levels), immunofluorescence and western blot (for AIRE protein levels).The Agilent oligo microarrays were used to determine the large scale transcriptional expression profiles of control or Aire-knockdown 3.10 mTECs.
