Effect of MHC II expression in pro-B cells: F6 leukaemic cell line
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: F6 murine leukaemic cells were transfected either with MHC II or with GFP and transcriptionally profiled by RNA-seq. Triplicate samples for each genotype were sequenced. This is part of ongoing investigation of a possible cell-intrinsic role of MHC II B cells.
Project description:Hardy’s Fraction D bone marrow pre-B cells and splenic follicular B cells were purified by flow cytometry according to MHC II expression from wild-type and ItgaxcreH2-Ab1c MHC II conditional mice and transcriptionally profiled by RNA-seq. Duplicate or triplicate samples for each genotype and level of MHC II expression were sequenced. This is part of ongoing investigation of a possible cell-intrinsic role of MHC II B cells.
Project description:The generation of highly-reactive T lymphocytes against tumor-associated antigens remains an obstacle for effective adoptive immunotherapy of cancer. Recently, we found that microRNA-181a (miR-181a) acts as an intrinsic modulator of T cell antigen sensitivity in a transgenic T cell line in vitro. This molecule is part of a growing family of evolutionarily selected small interfering RNA that control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level by targeting messenger RNA (mRNA) for degradation or translational repression. Here, we explored the use of miR-181a to improve anti-tumor T cell responsiveness against weakly immunogenic tumor-associated antigens. We found that genetic engineering of T lymphocytes with miR-181a dramatically augmented the function of poorly responsive human tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and TCR-engineered peripheral blood lymphocytes, resulting in potent anti-tumor reactivity. Furthermore, in a mouse model, miR-181a increased the function of self/tumor-specific CD8+ T cells enabling effective tumor destruction in the absence of vaccination or exogenous cytokines that were otherwise essential requirements and thus represents a significant advance over previous approaches. Although miRNAs have been previously shown to play critical functional roles in the development and function of vertebrate immune systems and pathogenesis of cancer, this report comprises the first use of a miRNA gene as tool in the treatment of disease. Keywords: cellular modification design For the 6 mouse samples the Operon Array-Ready Oligo Set (AROSâ¢) V 4.0 contains 35,852 longmer probes representing 25,000 genes and about 38,000 gene transcripts and also includes 380 controls platform was used and each sample was hybridized in duplicate. For the 6 human samples, the human cDNA microarray platform was used which consist of 17 k cDNA array included a combination from a RG_HsKG_031901 7 k clone set and 10,000 clones from the RG_Hs_seq_ver_070700 40 k clone set (Research Genetics, Huntsville, AL). The cDNA clones include 12,072 uniquely named genes, 875 duplicates of named genes.
Project description:Ebf1 deficient pre-pro B-cells (Fraction A) can be cultured in the presence of stromal feeders and cytokines. The retroviral transduction of these cells with Ebf1 was used as gain-of-function experiment for the analysis of direct and functional target genes of Ebf1. Ebf1 deficient pre-pro B-cells were retrovirally transduced with an Ebf1-expressing or control retrovirus. 24h after transduction the infected cells were isolated and their gene expression profile was compared.
Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional exhausted T cells, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD8+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted using MHC-I tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD8+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays

Memory CD4+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD4+ T cells become less functional. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional T cells from chronic viral infection, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD4+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-IAb GP66-specific CD4+ T cells were sorted using MHC-II tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD4+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays.
Project description:We compared migratory DCs in draining mediastinal lymph node after intranasal administration of different vaccine adjuvants based on CTA1 subunit of cholera toxin. The goal was to determine different characteristics of dendritic cells subsets after pro-inflammatory vs tolerogenic adjuvant. We had 3 groups: CTA1-DD (pro- inflammatory), CTA1(R7K)-DD (tolerogenic) and PBS to define DC which migrate to LN. All vaccine constructs included 3Ea peptide to allow for sorting of DC which took up the vaccine.
Project description:To assess the effect of TGF beta or FoxP3 retroviral transduction on transcripts expressed by activated CD4 T cells from A1.RAGnull mice.
Project description:The significant changes of hematopoietic cells induced by Xbp1S expression indicate that there is global alteration in gene expression. UPR induces transcription of Xbp1, and phosphorylation of the ER transmembrane kinase IRE1 initiates UPR-mediated mRNA splicing of Xbp1, resulting in the production of Xbp1S, an active form of a basic leucine zipper transcription factor. In the present study, Xbp1S retrovirus vector infected 32cl3 cells show cell cycle arrest and myeloid differentiation. Xbp1S may modulate important genes of differentiation and the cell cycle. RNA samples extracted from 32Dcl3 cells with pMIG (empty vector), pMY-Xbp1U (unspliced form) and pMY-Xbp1S (spliced form) retroviral vector transfected cells were subjected to expression profiling using the Affymetrix GeneChip microarray system.
