Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE22127: Expression profiling of small intestine lamina propria dendritic cells GSE22128: Expression profiling of splenic dendritic cells Dendritic cells play a vital role in initiating robust immunity against pathogens as well as maintaining immunological tolerance to self antigens, food antigens and intestinal commensals. However, the intracellular signaling networks that program DCs to become tolerogenic are largely unknown. To address this, we analyzed gene expression profiles using microarray analysis of purified intestinal lamina propria DCs (CD11c+ CD11b+ DCs and CD11c+ CD11b- DCs) and compared it to splenic DCs (CD11c+ DC), from mice. We sought to determine the unique genetic profile of small intestine lamina propria CD11c+ cells compared to splenic CD11c+ cells. We performed a meta-analysis using the expression profiles of Intestinal lamina propria CD11c+ CD11b+ DCs (GSM550122), Intestinal lamina propria CD11c+ CD11b- DCs (GSM550121) and Splenic CD11c+ DCs (GSM550126). This study combined and re-normalized the microarray data from GSE22127 and GSE22128 studies. Refer to individual Series for additional details

Project description:Analysis of gene expressions in mouse splenic dendritic cells (DCs). DCs were purified into two subsets, CD8-positive and -negative ones. DCs were expanded in vivo by injecting Flt3L-producing tumors into the backs of C57BL/6 mice. To expand DCs in vivo, Flt3L-producing B16 melanoma cells were injected to the backs of mice. Then, 10-12 days later, splenic DCs were enriched by MACS and purified into CD3-B220-CD8a+CD11c+ and CD3-B220-CD8a-CD11c+ cells by FACS cell sorter.
Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) play a vital role in innate immunity. Transcriptome of DCs isolated from mouse spleen was obtained and deposited here. Keywords: Spleen, DCs We sought to determine the expression profile of splenic CD11c+ cells. RNA was extracted from DCs sorted from mouse spleen (CD11c+ cells) and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Mouse splenic dendritic cells are divided into different subsets based on their phynotype. CD8α+ and CD8α- dendritic cells play different roles against pathogens. Cross-presentation is essential for immune defense against viruses, tumors and intracellular bacteria and CD8α+ DCs are more potent in cross-presentation compared to CD8α- DCs. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression to analyze the underlying mechanism in CD8α+ dendritic cells cross-presentation Splenic CD8α+ and CD8α- dendritic cells were sorted by flow-cytometer for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Thirty C57BL/6J mice were sacrified for the splenic cells, splenic DCs were enriched by negtive selection, then CD8α+ and CD8α- dendritic cells were seprated based on CD11c and CD8α markers.
Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) in tissues and lymphoid organs comprise distinct functional subsets that differentiate in situ from circulating progenitors. Tissue-specific signals that regulate DC subset differentiation are poorly understood. We report that DC-specific deletion of the Notch2 receptor caused a reduction of DC populations in the spleen. Within the splenic CD11b+ DCs, Notch signaling blockade ablated a distinct population marked by high expression of adhesion molecule Esam. The Notch-dependent Esamhi DC subset also required lymphotoxin beta receptor signaling, proliferated in situ and facilitated efficient CD4+ T cell priming. The Notch-independent Esamlo DCs expressed monocyte-related genes and showed superior cytokine responses. In addition, Notch2 deletion led to the loss of CD11b+ CD103+ DCs in the intestinal lamina propria and to the corresponding decrease of IL-17-producing CD4+ T cells in the intestine. Thus,Notch2 is a common differentiation signal for T cell-priming CD11b+ DC subsets in the spleen and intestine. We compared genome-wide expression profiles of wild-type Esam(hi) and Esam(lo) splenic CD11b+ DC populations, along with CD11b+ DCs from DC-RBPJΔ mice. Spleens from 2-3 Cx3cr1-GFP+ RBPJflox/flox CD11c-Cre+ mice or Cx3cr1-GFP+ RBPJflox/flox Cre-negative littermate controls were isolated, pooled and depleted of lymphoid and erythroid cells by negative selection on MACS columns. Live cells were stained for surface expression of CD11c, CD11b and Esam. CD11c(hi) CD11b+ DCs from control mice could be separated into Esam(lo) GFP(hi) versus Esam(hi) GFP(lo) subsets. CD11c(hi) CD11b+ DCs from RBPJ-targeted mice spleens were uniformly Esam(lo) GFP(hi). The two subsets from control mice and single Esam(lo) GFP(hi) subset from RBPJ-targeted mice were sorted using FACSAria II flow sorter and analyzed using GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix).
