Project description:Comparative gene expression profiling of thymocytes at the DP, CD4 SP and CD8 SP stage derived from FoxN1-Gpr177 mice (FoxN1-Cre mediated deletion of (Exon3 of) Gpr177/Wtls) or C57Bl/6N mice as comparison. Objective was to test the influence of TEC-secreted Wnt ligands on the transcriptome of thymocytes at the respective developmental stages. Total RNA extracted from FACS-sorted primary mouse thymocytes. CD4/8 double positive (DP) thymocytes, CD4 single positive (CD4 SP) thymocytes and CD8 single positive (CD8 SP) thymocytes were FACS-sorted from conditional knock-out mice (FoxN1-Gpr177) and C57Bl/6N mice as comparison.

Project description:Conditional knock out of Brd1(bromodomain containing 1) in muse developmental T cells (CD4CD8DP, CD4SP and CD8SP) by intercrossing with Tie2-Cre Conditional knock out of Brd1(bromodomain containing 1) in muse MHC class l restricted T cells (CD8SP) by intercrossing with Tie2-Cre and OT-l Developmental T cells (defined by surface markers: CD4, CD8 and TCR?) derived from control (Tie2-Cre) or Brd1 conditional knock out (Brd1flox/flox, Tie2-Cre) thymocytes were isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and subjected to a microarray analysis. CD8SP T cells were also isolated from control (Tie2-Cre, OT-l) or Brd1 conditional knock out (Brd1flox/flox, Tie2-Cre, OT-l) thymocytes intercrossed with OT-l.
Project description:Themis1, a recently described T-lineage specific protein, is essential for thymic positive and negative selection. Although Themis1 has been clearly identified as a component of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signalosome, its precise role in TCR signaling remains unclear. Here, we used quantitative proteomic and TCR signaling reporter mice to gain insight into Themis1 signaling function. Mass spectrometry analysis of the Themis1 interactome identified Grb2, SHP1 and Vav1 as the principal interacting partners of Themis1 in thymocytes. The dataset contains mass spectrometry results from the analysis of 6 different kind of AP-MS purifications (based on immunoprecipitation using a Themis1 antibody) starting from the following samples: - thymocytes from WT mice, non stimulated (noted WT NS) - thymocytes from WT mice, stimulated with pervanadate (noted WT P) - thymocytes from GRB2 +/- mice (with decreased expression of GRB2), non stimulated (noted GRB2 NS) - thymocytes from GRB2 +/- mice (with decreased expression of GRB2), stimulated with pervanadate (noted GRB2 P) - thymocytes from Themis1 -/- mice (knock-out for Themis1), non stimulated (noted KO NS) - thymocytes from Themis1 -/- mice (knock-out for Themis1), stimulated with pervanadate (noted KO P) Three biological replicates were prepared for these 6 different conditions (noted, 1,2,3), yielding 18 analyzed samples. Three technical nanoLC-MS runs were acquired for each sample (noted R1, R2, R3), leading to the 54 nanoLC-MS raw files contained in the dataset.
Project description:Using (conditional) Gfi1 knock-out mice we show that ablation of the transcriptional repressor Gfi1 cures mice from lymphoid leukemia and reduces the expansion of primary human T-ALL xenografts in mice. We find that Gfi1 alters the p53 dependent transcriptional activation of a substantial subset of known p53 target genes and thus sets a threshold for cell death. We used Affymetrix mouse Gene-1.0-ST arrays to define the changes in the gene expression pattern of wt or Gfi1-KO thymocytes (Gfi1-fl/fl X MX-CRE, induced by pIpC) that were either untreated (WT, GfiKO thymocytes), irradiated (WT_irr, Gfi1KO_irr), ENU transformed (WT_Tum, Gfi1KO_Tum), or transformed by Notch1-CT and ENU-induced to enhance tumorigenesis (WT_Notch_Tum, Gfi1KO_Notch_Tum).

The study should determine how loss of Gfi1 alters the gene expression pattern in irradiated or tumor derived thymocytes
Project description:To investigate the role of Nir in epidermis during embryogenesis, we crossed mice harboring conditional Nir alleles with the Krt14-Cre deleter strain, which results in Cre-mediated loss of Nir selectively in epidermis. Transciptome analysis of keratinocytes obtained from control and knock-out mice at E15.5 revealed 4393 genes differentially expressed between Nir knock-out and control mice (p-value<10-2). At E17.5, we found 5673 differentially expressed genes.
Project description:To investigate the role of Lsd1 in ingWAT we crossed mice harboring conditional Lsd1 alleles (Zhu et al., 2014) with the Adipoq-Cre deleter strain (Eguchi et al., 2011), which results in Cre-mediated loss of Lsd1 selectively in adipocytes. Transciptome analysis of ingWAT obtained from control and knock-out mice revealed 727 genes differentially expressed between Lsd1 knock-out and control mice at 6 weeks of age (p-value<10-2).
Project description:To investigate the role of Lsd1 in BAT, we crossed mice harboring conditional Lsd1 alleles (Zhu et al., 2014) with the Ucp1-Cre deleter strain (Turpin et al., 2014), which results in Cre-mediated loss of Lsd1 selectively in brown adipocytes. Transciptome analysis of BAT obtained from control and knock-out mice revealed 3322 genes differentially expressed between Lsd1 knock-out and control mice at 10 weeks of age (p-value<10-2).
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of thymocytes from wild type and Nsd2 knock out (KO) and Nsd2 knock in (KI). The 906th Proline of Nsd2 was substituted to Leucine in Nsd2 KI by gene editing. The Illumina Infinium Mouse methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 270,000 CpGs in thymocytes. Samples included 2 wild type, 2 heterozygous knock out, 1 heterozygous knock in, and 1 homozygous knock in.
