Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the loss of CD28 co-receptor on primary human CD8+ T cells. We identified distinct classes of differentially regulated genes between sorted T cell subsets.
Project description:Background: Binding of the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor to its ligands (PD-L1/2) transduces inhibitory signals that promote exhaustion of activated T cells. Blockade of the PD 1 pathway is widely used for cancer treatment, yet the inhibitory signals transduced by PD-1 in T cells remain elusive. Methods: Expression profiles of human CD8+ T cells in resting, activated (CD3+CD28) and PD-1-stimulated cells (CD3+CD28+PD-L1-Fc) conditions were evaluated by RNA-seq. Bioinformatic analyses were used to identify signaling pathways differentially regulated in PD 1-stimulated cells.
Project description:To meticulously explore how local chromatin architecture influences T cell activation, we conducted high-resolution regional capture Hi-C by designing tiling capture probes that span the CD28, CTLA4, and ICOS genes along with their distal regulatory sequences (chr2:204300000-205000000, GRCh37) in both resting and stimulated Jurkat cells.
Project description:To finely dissect the dynamic changes in the epigenome and chromatin state during T cell activation, we utilized the Jurkat cell line as a model and performed ChIP-seq on both resting and anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated Jurkat cells, targeting various histone modifications (H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27me3), RNA PolII, and CTCF.
Project description:To obtain the differentiated profiling of long noncoding RNA expression between CD8+CD28+ T cell subset and CD8+CD28- T cell subset, we have detecte lncRNA profiling between within-individual T cell subsets to identify differentiated lncRNA profiling in five apperant healthy Chinese nenogenarians who were cytomegalovirus-seropositive carriers. Human peripheral blood monocytes from these apperantly healthy CMV-seropositive nonagenarians was gathered. CD8+CD28+ T cells and CD8+CD28- T cells were further isolated using flow cytometry. Differentiated lncRNA profiling was compared between CD8+CD28+ T cells and CD8+CD28- T cells using lncRNA microarry detection within-individually. 586 lncRNAs were found significantly upregulated while 1113 lncRNAs were found significantly downregulated comparing CD8+CD28+ T cells with CD8+CD28- T cells in these Chinese nonagenarians with CMV seropositivity. Expression of ENST00000446590,NR_121652,NR_045006,ENST00000428936,NR_110375 from this differentiated profiling which were identified as previously domumented ageing-related lncRNAs were quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR, confirming lncRNAs take critical role in regulating T cell immunosenesence in healthy nonagenarian Chinese CMV carriers. Diffentiated lncRNA profiling was in-pair compared between total RNAs isolated from CD8+CD28+ T cells and CD8+CD28- T cells within-individually in Chinese nonagenarian CMV carriers.
Project description:The majority of genetic risk variants associated with autoimmune diseases are located in chromatin regions that are accessible during T cell stimulation. To systematically investigate the dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility during T cell activation, we utilized the Jurkat cell line as a model and performed ATAC-seq on both resting and anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated Jurkat cells.
