Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Analysis of global gene expression profiles of flow cytometry-sorted, different pathogen-specific CD4+ T cell populations from the same peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), to identify molecular parameters that regulate differential susceptibilities of these CD4+ T cells to HIV infection. The results reveal distinct gene expression profiles between CMV-specific and tetanus toxoid/Candida-specific CD4+ T cells that involved selective upregulation of comprehensive innate antiviral Total RNA extracted from CFSE-low, flow-sorted pathogen-specific CD4+ T cells were analyzed for global gene expression. Changes in gene expression were compared between CMV to combined TT/Candida, or TT/CMV and Candida/CMV.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Project description:Comparison of the transcriptional profiles of FV env-specific CD4 TCRbeta transgenic cells primed by an Ad5 vector with those primed by FV and submitted in E-MEXP-2950
Project description:Viral vectors are attractive vaccine platforms that elicit robust innate and adaptive immune responses; however, viral vector vaccine candidates vary greatly in their ability to induce protective immunity. Ad5 vectors elicit robust CD8+ T cell responses but typically characterized by an exhausted phenotype. The mechanisms by which Ad5 vectors induce dysfunctional CD8+ T cells have not been fully elucidated. Here we demonstrate that Ad5 vectors, but not Ad26 vectors, elicit exhausted antigen-specific IL-10+PD1+ CD4+ T cells with a dysfunctional transcriptional profile, and these cells effectively suppress CD8+ T cells responses in vivo. Induction of inhibitory CD4+ T cells by Ad5 vectors was associated with increased IL-27 expression, and IL-27 blockade improved CD4+ T cell polyfunctionality. Together our data highlight a novel role for IL-27 in regulating responses to viral vector vaccines. Splenic CD45.2+ OT-II TCR-Tg CD4 T cells from CD45.1+ B6 mice immunized with Ad5-OVA or Ad26-OVA were purified by FACS on day 10 post-immunization
