Project description:Eomesodermin (Eomes) is a transcription factor with a crucial role regulating cytotoxic function, development and survival of immune cells. Although it is known that γδ T cells can express Eomes, its function on those cells is still largely unknown. Using Eomes-IRES-GFP mice we were able to sort for Eomes+ and Eomes‒ γδ T cells populations and get their gene expression profiles, bringing light to the role of Eomes on γδ T cells.
Project description:To gain mechanistic insights into how EOMES regulates CD4+ T-cell differentiation and function, we performed an RNA-seq analysis using Eomes-GFP reporter mice (Eomes+/GFP) to isolate GFP+ (EOMES+) and GFP- (EOMES-) CD4+ T-cells by FACS sorting. We also sequenced RNA from Eomes-deficient GFP+ and GFP- CD4+ T-cells isolated from EomesΔT/GFP knock-out mice, in which one Eomes allele is disrupted by GFP insertion and the DNA-binding domain of the other allele is deleted in T cells by Lck-driven Cre recombinase. Hence, we had two populations of GFP+ cells where the EOMES locus was transcribed, one with a transcriptionally active EOMES protein (Eomes+/GFP) and another one with no transcriptionally active EOMES (EomesΔT/GFP), plus the respective GFP-negative controls isolated from the same mice. A homogeneous population of EOMES-expressing CD4+ T cells were obtained by transferring naïve sorted CD25- CD45RBhigh CD4+ T-cells isolated from Eomes+/GFP reporter or EomesΔT/GFP knock-out donor animals into Rag2-/- mice. After three weeks of adoptive transfer GFP+ and GFP- CD4+ T-cell populations from these mice were FACS-sorted for transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing.
Project description:The following lymphocytes were sorted from the lamin propria of the small intestine of EomesGfg/+ RORgtCreTGg Rosa26Yfp/+ by using the markers Lineage- CD45+ Nkp46+ NK1.1+ : 1.convential NK cells (Eomes GFP+ RORgt YFP-) 2. ILC1 (Eomes GFP- RORgt YFP-) 3. exRORgt ILC3 (Eomes GFP- RORgt YFP+). Conventional NK cells from the bone marrow (cNK BM) were sorted from Eomes Gfp/+ mice with the markers Lineage- CD45+ NK1.1+ Eomes GFP+.
Project description:Purpose: compare immature B cells in presence or not of γδ T cells in vivo and in vitro. Methods: immature B cells were sorted from spleen of control Tcrd-GDL mice and Tcrd-GDL mice treated with Diphteria toxin (DTx) for depletrion of γδ T cells after eight days and were sequenced for transcriptional (RNA-seq) and epigenetic profile (ATAC-seq). Further, immature B cells were sorted from spleen of Tcdr-H2B mice, cultured alone or in presence of γδ T cells and sequenced for transcriptional profile (RNA-seq). Results/Conclusions: In presence of γδ T cells, immature B cells upregulated genes related to unfolded protein response and mTORC1 signaling

Project description:Subcutanesouly tumors from both Bmal1+/+ and Bmal1-/- mice were used to isolated stromal vascular fractions (SVF). Tumor cells with GFP+ signals were exclusive. Remain GFP- cells were collected to do RNAseq.
Project description:Single-cell RNAseq (10x Genomics) analysis of mouse splenic CD4+ T cells in WT and ∆Foxp3 mice and in WT/∆Foxp3 bone marrow chimeras. Mouse CD4+T cells in 21-day-old male WT and ∆Foxp3 mice were isolated from spleen by flow cytometry as DAPI–TCRβ+CD4+ cells for 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V2 chemistry, one sample per channel). For bone marrow chimera experiment: 7 week-old CD45.2-recipient mice were irradiated with 1000 Rad, reconstituted with 4 million CD3-depleted bone marrow cells: 50% CD45.1 x Foxp3-IRES-GFP (WT, 21d-old male) and 50% Foxp3DeltaEGFPiCre/RFP x ROSA-YFP x CD45.1/2 (scurfy, 21d-old male). 10 weeks later, spleen were harvested and tagged using a different Hashtags fo each mouse. ∆Foxp3 CD4+ T cells were sorted as DAPI–TCRb+CD4+CD45.1+CD45.2+. WT CD4+ T cells were sorted as DAPI–TCRb+CD4+CD45.1+CD45.2–. Control WT DAPI–TCRb+CD4+GFP+ Treg cells and GFP- Tconvs cells were also tagged and sorted. Samples with different hastags were pooled before single cell encapsulation using 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V3 chemistry).
Project description:This study shows that liver Eomes- NK cells are not precursors of classical Eomes+ NK cells but rather constitute a distinct lineage of innate lymphoid cells. Gene profile analyses show that Eomes- NK cells share part of their transcriptional program with NKT cells that includes genes involved in liver homing, NK cell receptors, and several cytokines and cytokine receptors. Eomes- NK cells, Eomes+ Nk cells and NKT cells were sorted by flow cytometry from Eomes-GFP reporter mice. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:MSCV-GFP-IRES (IRES), MSCV-GFP-Myc-NIC1 (NIC1) and MSCV-GFP-DNMAML (DNMAML) were retrovirally transduced in to THP-1 cell (pCL-Ampho was used as packaging plasmid). GFP positive cells were sorted for selective desired cell. Then IRES, NIC1 and DNMAML overexpressing THP-1 were pretreated with PMA (5ng/ml) for 48 h before stimulation with IL-4 (20 ng/ml) for 3 h.
