Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type APC and OX40L-TG APC induced T helper 17 cell Transcriptomes [RNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose:The goals of this study are to evaluate the effect of OX40 ligation on transcriptome profiling of in vitro polarized T helper 17 cell (RNA-seq). Methods: mRNA profiles of CD4+ T cells cultured in vitro under Th17-polarizing conditions for 48hrs (both Ctrl and OX40L treated groups) were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina RapidRun. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and TopHat followed by CuffDiff. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: Among the 398 genes that were significantly affected by OX40, only about 11% were previously identified as RORγt target genes in Th17 cells. Conclusions: Our study suggests that OX40 unlikely affects Th17 commitment, but most likely impairs their effector differentiation. As IL-17A and IL-17F are Th17-defining cytokines, their suppression suggests that OX40 may inhibits effector functions of Th17 cells.
