Project description:We report that adhesion of microbes to intestinal epithelial cells is a critical cue for Th17 induction. SFB colonized in the intestine of mice can adhere to mouse small intestinal epithelial cells and induce intestinal Th17 cells. However, SFB colonized in rats cannot adhere to mouse intestinal epithelial cells and induce Th17 cells. Likewise, Citrobacter rodentium (WT) can adhere to mouse colonic epithelial cells and induce Th17 cells, but non-adherent mutant of C. rodentium (Δeae) cannot induce Th17 cells. To examine the influence of adherent bacteria on intestinal epithelial cells, we performed RNA seq. Germ free mice were orally inoculated with M-SFB or R-SFB and total RNA was isolated from small intestinal epithelial cells 1 week after inoculation. Alternatively, germ free mice were orally inoculated with C. rodentium WT or eae mutant and total RNA was isolated from colonic epithelial cells 5 days after inoculation. The gene expression of small intestinal epithelial cells isolated from small intestine of germ free mice (2 mice), mice monocolonized with M-SFB (2 mice) or R-SFB (3 mice), and colon of germ free mice (3 mice), mice monocolonized C. rodentium WT (3 mice) or eae mutant (3 mice).
Project description:We compare transcriptomic profiles of intestinal epithelial cells obtained from the small intestine of germ-free and conventionally-caged mice. Intestinal epithelial cells were harvested from the intestine of conventional or germ-free C57Bl6J mice. Directional polyA RNA-seq was performed on RNA fom cells using standard Illumina protocols. Microbiota induce decreased expression of the Clec2e gene.
Project description:H3K27Ac enrichment in intestinal epithelial cells from intestine of germ-free and segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB)-monoassociated mice. Intestinal epithelial cells were harvested from the terminal ileum of germ-free or SFB mice. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with anti-H3K27Ac. Sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq2500. Reads were mapped to the mm10 genome using Bowtie.
Project description:Intestinal epithelial cells were isolated from total small intestine of each four 28-day old conventionally raised (conv) and germ-free (GF) bred C57BL/6 mice (protocol according to: Lotz et al., J. Exp Med. 2006). Total RNA was isolated by TriZol and ist purity was examined using a Bioanalyszer. We used microarrays to comparatively detail the global gene expression in primary total isolated intestinal epithelial cells. Four biological replicates from isolated intestinal epithelial cells obtained from each 4 germ-free bred and conventionally raised mice. Colour change.
Project description:Expression in intestinal epithelial cells from intestine of germ-free and segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB)-monoassociated mice during infection. Intestinal epithelial cells were harvested from the terminal ileum of germ-free or SFB mice infected with Citrobacter rodentium for 6 days. RNA was isolated using RNeasy Kit (Qiagen). Sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq2500. Reads were mapped to the mm10 genome using Bowtie.
Project description:We compare H3K9Ac enrichment in intestinal epithelial cells from intestine of germ-free and microbiota-replete (conventionally-housed) mice. Intestinal epithelial cells were harvested from the intestine of conventional or germ-free C57Bl6J mice. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with anti-H3K9Ac. Sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq2500. Reads were mapped to the mm10 genome using Bowtie. Microbiota induce loss of H3K9Ac within mulitple sites of the Clec2e gene.
