Project description:The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors thousands of bacterial species that include symbionts as well as potential pathogens. The immune responses that limit access of these bacteria to underlying tissue remain poorly defined. In this study, we used microarrays to uncover the transcriptional responses that occur in small intestinal γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes following bacterial challenge. γδ intraepithelial lymphocytes (γδ IEL) were isolated by flow cytometry from the small intestines of germ-free mice, or from age- and sex-matched conventionally-raised counterparts. We extracted RNAs from these purified γδ IEL for analysis on Affymetrix DNA microarrays. The mice were all >8 weeks in age, and each sample represents a pool of RNAs from 5-8 mice.

Project description:We performed CUT&Tag-Seq against histone H3K27me3 in mouse small intestinal TCRβ+CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) of wild-type mice to analyze epigenetic modifications.
Project description:To under the role of Kdm6b in the regulation of intestinal TCRβ+CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), Kdm6b was conditionally deleted in mouse T cells. Small intestinal TCRβ+CD8αα+ IELs were sorted by flow cytometry and RNA-seq was conducted to identify the differentially expressed genes.
Project description:Here, we sought to investigate the expression pattern of inhibitory receptors and functional state of TI-γδ T-cells, and reveal the features of exhausted TI γδ T-cells in the TME of CRC. In this study, the γδ T-cell subpopulations and gene expression profiles of TI-γδ T-cells and colonic intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).
