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

To address this, we analyzed gene expression profiles using microarray analysis of purified intestinal lamina propria DCs (CD11c+ CD11b+ DCs and CD11c+ CD11b- DCs) from mice. Keywords: Lamina propria, DCs, cell type comparison We sought to determine the expression profile of small intestine lamina propria CD11c+ cells. RNA was extracted from DCs sorted from mouse small intestine (CD11c+CD11b- and CD11c+CD11b+ cells) and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Under steady-state conditions, eosinophils are abundantly found in the small intestinal lamina propria, but their physiological function is largely unexplored. We performed a global gene expression analysis to examine which genes are highly expressed by small intestinal eosinophils (CD11b+CD11c(int)MHCII-SiglecF+) compared with dendritic cells (CD11c+MHCII+).
Project description:We used a RAG2-GFP reporter mouse to show that RAG+ B lineage cells can be found in the small intestinal lamina proria in normally-housed mice at weaning age. We used microarry expression analysis to compare the RAG2+ population in the gut to the RAG2+ B lineage population in the bone marrow. Microarray was used to compare RAG2+ lamina propria B cells to RAG2+ bone marrow B cells. For each experiment, RAG2-GFP+ cells from 8-12 post-natal day 17-25 RAG2-GFP reporter mice were sorted from small intestinal lamina propria lymphocyte preparations and bone marrow. RNA extracted from trizol was used for the analysis. 3 independent replicates were performed.
Project description:To further development of our gene expression approach to CD300a deficiency on dendritic cells (DCs) in colonic lamina propria, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish CD300a deficiency on DCs in colonic lamina propria from those of WT mice. Colonic lamina propria DCs were obtained by cell sorter from WT and CD300a deficient mice raised under SPF and GF condition. Expression of Ifnb1 was significantly higher in CD300a deficient DCs, quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR. Gene expression in WT and CD300a colonic lamina propria DCs raised under SPF and GF conditions were measured. Colonic lamina propria cells were obtained from 5 mice in each conditions. Takara-Bio
