Project description:Genomewide microaarray analysis of murine DP thymocytes to determine the genes whose expression was altered by FLVCR loss Gene signatures from Flvcr+/+ DP thymocytes was compared to gene signatures from Flvcr-/- DP thymocytes
Project description:Genomewide microaarray analysis of murine DP thymocytes to determine the genes whose expression was altered by FLVCR loss Gene signatures from Flvcr+/+ DP thymocytes was compared to gene signatures from Flvcr-/- DP thymocytes Total RNA obtained from sort-purified Flvcr-/- and Flvcr+/+ DP thymocytes
Project description:NSrp70 deficiency (NSRP1f/fCD4Cre) profoundly perturbed the late development of DP thymocytes, leading to a significant reduction of single positive (SP) cells in the thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissues. To gain further insight how NSrp70 controls thymocyte development from DP stage, we performed RNA-seq analysis after sorting DP thymocytes from WT and Nsrp1 cKO mice.
Project description:Wild type thymi were transplanted into wild recipients (turnover) or Rag2-/-gc-/- mice (autonomy) and, after 28 days of transplant, DN3 and DP thymocytes were sorted and their transcriptomes analyzed.
Project description:We performed microarray analysis of gene expression in WT and Ets1-/- CD4+ CD8+ DP thymocytes. Overall, we find that Ets1-/- thymocytes display gene expression signatures closer to previous stages of thymocyte development (e.g. DN3-4) than WT DP cells, suggesting that while these cells do become DP thymocytes in the absence of Ets1, that the latter is required for the upregulation of later T-cell genes and that its presence is required for the downregulation of genes corresponding to earlier and alternative stages of development.
Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq for hallmark TFs (Ets1, Runx1), histone modification marks (H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3), total RNA Pol II, short RNA-Seq as well as nucleosome mapping mainly in murine Rag2 -/- thymocytes. We also performed ChIP-Seq for E47 as well as nucleosome mapping, gene expression microarray analysis in CD4+ CD8+ DP thymocytes. Overall, we find a key role for the transcription factor Ets1, contributing towards alpha beta T cell lineage commitment via differential transactivation of stage-specific genes orchestrated by dynamic, co-association -mediated chromatin remodeling, as well as transcription dependent generation of a specialized chromatin structure at the TCR beta locus. Genome-wide analysis via ChIP-Seq for Ets1, Runx1, total RNA Pol II binding, H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, short RNA-Seq, Mnase-Seq in murine Rag2 -/- thymocytes, ChIP-Seq for E47, Mnase-Seq and gene expression microarray analysis in DP thymocytes Genome-wide analysis via ChIP-Seq for Ets1, Runx1, total RNA Pol II binding, H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, short RNA-Seq, Mnase-Seq in murine Rag2 -/- thymocytes, ChIP-Seq for E47, Mnase-Seq and gene expression microarray analysis in DP thymocytes This Series represents gene expression microarray data.
Project description:Review on the role of Bcl11b in thymus and periphery and impact on diseases RNA was extracted from DP thymocytes of bcl11bf/fCd4cre/tcra-/- and tcra-/- mice. Tcra-/- mice only have preselected DP thymocytes. Such mice were used to determine the role of Bcl11b before selection, considering the defective positive selection in bcl11bf/fcd4cre mice. RNA was isolated and submitted for library generation and microarray analysis to determine expression profile of bcl11b-/- preselected DP thymocytes.

Project description:We wanted to test the role of mammalian E proteins E2A and HEB in the development of T cells. Using a conditional deletion system in which these proteins are deleted at the DP stage of T cell development, we compared DP thymocytes deficient for E2A, HEB or both to wild-type thymocytes
