ABSTRACT: Analysis of gene expressions in mouse splenic dendritic cells (DCs). DCs were purified into two subsets, CD8-positive and -negative ones. DCs were expanded in vivo by injecting Flt3L-producing tumors into the backs of C57BL/6 mice.
Project description:Analysis of gene expressions in mouse splenic dendritic cells (DCs). DCs were purified into two subsets, CD8-positive and -negative ones. DCs were expanded in vivo by injecting Flt3L-producing tumors into the backs of C57BL/6 mice. To expand DCs in vivo, Flt3L-producing B16 melanoma cells were injected to the backs of mice. Then, 10-12 days later, splenic DCs were enriched by MACS and purified into CD3-B220-CD8a+CD11c+ and CD3-B220-CD8a-CD11c+ cells by FACS cell sorter.
Project description:Thymic antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including thymic dendritic cells (t-DCs) and medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) have been described to play a critical role in thymic Treg generation. Our findings could show that both these thymic APCs can induce a more pronounced demethylation of Foxp3 and other Treg-specific epigenetic signature genes in developing Tregs when compared to splenic DCs. In order to elucidate the unique properties of thymic APCs, gene expression profiling was performed in comparison to splenic DCs. Transcriptome analysis of thymic APCs revealed differential expression of costimulatory molecules that could be involved in stable Treg generation. Importantly, both mTEC- and t-DC- induced alloantigen-specific Tregs displayed significantly higher efficacy in prolonging skin allograft acceptance when compared to alloantigen-specific Tregs generated by splenic DCs.
Project description:The goal of our study is to determine whether Atg16L1 deficiency leads to differences in the transcriptional profile of CD11c+ Dendritic Cells, ultimately leading to an increased inflammatory phenotype. CD11c+ cell sorted splenic DCs were isolated from 8 week old WT and Atg16L1 hypomorphic mice from spleens of untreated mice and were placed directly into TRIzol LS (Invitrogen). mRNA was isolated, amplified, and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip (MOE430A).
Project description:In this experiment, we analyzed the gene expression profile of WT and TBK1-deficient splenic DCs by RNA sequencing based on three independent samples. The results revealed significant alterations in the expression of a number of genes, most notably the enhanced expression of a large subset of IFN-responsive genes in the TBK1-deficient DCs.
Project description:Our group showed that DC-instrinsic C3ar1/C5ar1 signals are required for TLR-initiated DC maturation in vivo. To more broadly analyze how local complement signaling affects DC maturation process in response to TLR9 stimulation, WT or C3ar1-/-C5ar1-/- mice were stimulated with CpG (i.v. 100 micrograms) or vehicle control. 4hrs later, splenic CD11c+DCs were isolated and RNAs from the cells were purified for microarray analyses.

CD11c+ cell sorted splenic DCs were isolated from 8 week old WT and Atg16L1 hypomorphic mice from spleens of allo-HSCT recipients on day 7 were placed directly into TRIzol LS (Invitrogen). mRNA was isolated, amplified, and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip (MOE430A).
Project description:Zbtb46 represses G-CSFR and LifR in cDCs Zbtb46 does not significantly affect gene expression in erythroid progenitors WT, Het, and KO cells were sorted from BM or spleen and analyzed. Pre MegE cells were sorted as CD117+ CD150+ CD105-CD41-CD16/32-. Pre CFU-E cells were sorted as CD117+ CD150+ CD105lo CD41- CD16/32-. CFU-E cells were sorted as CD117+ CD150- CD105+ Cd41- CD16/32-. Splenic CD4+ DCs were sorted as B220- CD11c+ MHCII+ CD8- CD172+ CD11b+ CD4+.
Project description:Alloreactive memory t cells have been implicated as central drivers of transplant rejection. In our study we find that alloreactive memory T cells can interact with and engage Dendritic cells(DCs) Alloantigen-specific memory T cells were generated in vitro by co-culturing naïve CD4T cells from BALB/c mice with splenic DCs derived from B6 mice( by negatively sorted to remove T,B,NK and macrophages) for 5 days and then rested with IL2 for 2 days. Syngeneic memory T cells were similarly derived from B6 mice and polarized in vitro. Alloreactive or syngeneic memory T cells were then co-cultured for 3 hours with B6 splenic DCs. CD11b+CD11c+ cells were sorted away from T cells after 3 hours and lysed for RNA seq analysis.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE22127: Expression profiling of small intestine lamina propria dendritic cells GSE22128: Expression profiling of splenic dendritic cells Dendritic cells play a vital role in initiating robust immunity against pathogens as well as maintaining immunological tolerance to self antigens, food antigens and intestinal commensals. However, the intracellular signaling networks that program DCs to become tolerogenic are largely unknown. To address this, we analyzed gene expression profiles using microarray analysis of purified intestinal lamina propria DCs (CD11c+ CD11b+ DCs and CD11c+ CD11b- DCs) and compared it to splenic DCs (CD11c+ DC), from mice. We sought to determine the unique genetic profile of small intestine lamina propria CD11c+ cells compared to splenic CD11c+ cells. We performed a meta-analysis using the expression profiles of Intestinal lamina propria CD11c+ CD11b+ DCs (GSM550122), Intestinal lamina propria CD11c+ CD11b- DCs (GSM550121) and Splenic CD11c+ DCs (GSM550126). This study combined and re-normalized the microarray data from GSE22127 and GSE22128 studies. Refer to individual Series for additional details
