ABSTRACT: to compare the transcriptomes of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from Gfi1-knockout cells with wildtype cells, spleenocytes from wildtype and Gfi-knockout C57Bl/6 mice were isolated, stained with CD44, CD4 and CD8 antibodies and separated by using a FACS Diva (Becton Dickinson). Total RNAs isolated from 2 mice each (approximately 2xE06 cells) were pooled and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix MOE430A_2.0 arrays Keywords: knockout mice

Project description:To compare the transcriptomes of T-cells from Gfi1-knockout cells with wildtype cells, spleenocytes from wildtype and Gfi-knockout C57Bl/6 mice were isolated using panT-cell kit in an AutoMACS device (Miltenyi). Cells were cultured with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 antibodies (2 µg antibody/ml) for the indicated time period. Total RNAs was isolated and subjected to microarray analysis on Affymetrix MOE430A_2.0 arrays. Keywords: time course, wt and Gfi1 knockout

Project description:Fetal livers from 8X E13.5 wildtype and 6X Nf2-/- mutant embryos were mechanically dissociated, pooled by genotype and stained for CD41, CD42d, LIN (Ter119,B220). LIN- CD41high CD42d+ Cells were sorted on an Aria Cell Sorter (Becton Dickinson), centrifuged and counted. Fetal livers of 5X E13 wildtype or Nf2-/- embryos were prepared as above and transplanted into UBC-GFP+ recipients subjected to 2X 550cGrays irradiations (0.37 embryonic equivalent/recipient). Mice were screened at 4 weeks for blood platelet content and their GFP status. Bone marrow from the femurs, tibias, hips and humeri of 4 transplanted mice (2X WT donor, 2X Nf2-/- donor) was dissociated, pooled by genotype, filtered and stained for CD41, CD42d, LIN (Ter119, B220). GFP- LIN- CD41high CD42d+ Cells were sorted on an Aria Cell Sorter (Becton Dickinson), centrifuged and counted.
Project description:Ventral spinal cord regions micro-dissected from E12.5 Arhgap35 (aka, p190) knockout embryos or control littermates (wild-type or p190+/-) were pulled and dissociated with papain (Worthington Biochemical Cat# LK003153) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were sorted on a Becton Dickinson FACS Vantage SE DiVa using Coherent Sapphire 488 nm solid state laser and collected directly into RLT lysis buffer containing β-mercaptoethanol (Qiagen). RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) with on-column DNase digestion (Qiagen RNase-Free DNase Set). Each sample contained between 100,000 and 200,000 GFP+ motor neurons isolated from 2-5 spinal cords during a single experimental session. Five p190-/- and five control RNA samples were quantified with Agilent 2200 TapeStation system prior to preparation of mRNA-sequencing libraries (50 bp single-end) using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Library Preparation Kit (v2) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Libraries were sequenced with Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. "Negative" samples are from FACS-sorted Hb9:GFP-negative cells.
Project description:Growth factor independence genes (Gfi1 and Gfi1b) repress recombination activating genes (Rag) transcription in developing B lymphocytes. Because all blood lineages originate from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and different lineage progenitors have been shown to share transcription factor networks prior to cell fate commitment, we hypothesized that GFI family proteins may also play a role in repressing Rag transcription or a global lymphoid transcriptional program in other blood lineages. We tested the level of Rag transcription in various blood cells when Gfi1 and Gfi1b were deleted, and observed an upregulation of Rag expression in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Using microarray analysis, we observed that Gfi1 and Gfi1b regulate a broad spectrum of cellular processes in pDCs, but not a lymphoid specific transcriptional program. This study establishes a role for Gfi1 and Gfi1b in Rag regulation in a non-B lineage cell type Gfi1f/f; Gfi1bf/f; ERCre bone marrow progenitors were untreated and treated with tamoxifen (4OHT) to delete floxed alleles during pDC differentiation in culture. Cells from three individual mouse constitute triplicates of untreated (-4OHT) and treated (+4OHT) conditions, corresponding to wildtype or knockout genotypes.
Project description:GFI is a DNA binding transcriptional repressor that regulates myeloid differentiation. Here, we show that GFI1 interacts with the chromodomain helicase CHD4 and other components of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex. Our data demonstrated that GFI1 and GFI1/CHD4 complexes occupy sites of open chromatin enriched for histone marks associated with active transcription or different sets of genes that are either enriched for IRF1 or SPI-1 consensus binding sites. In addition, our study provided evidence that GFI1 affects the chromatin remodeling activity of the NuRD complex. Overall, our results indicate that GFI1/CHD4 complexes control chromatin openness and histone modifications differentially to regulate target genes, which govern the immune response, nucleosome organization, or metabolic processes.
