Project description:WDFY4 is a gene essential for in vivo cross-presentation. The goal of this study was to find if there were transcriptional differences between WT and WDFY4 KO cDC1 under either steady state conditions or under conditions of activation in order to give us clues as to the mechanism of action.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to detect differentially expressed genes, between Nicol +/- (Nicol-Het), Nicol-/- (Nicol-KO), and Ros1-/- (Ros1-KO) caput epididymis by RNA sequencing Methods: Caput epidiymal mRNA profiles of 14-week-old Nicol-Het, Nicol-KO, and Ros1-KO mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NovaSeq6000. Results: RNA-seq data identified differentially expressed transcripts. Conclusions: Our results show that the expression of many genes were downregulated in Nicol-KO caput epididymis compared with Nicol-Het one. The gene downregulation of Nicol-KO caput epididymis was similar to that of Ros1-KO one.
Project description:In the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina, cell death by incompatibility can be monitored using the conditional self-incompatible (SI) het-R het-V strain. SI strains are homokaryotic strains bearing incompatible het genes in all nuclei. The co-expression of these het genes triggers cell death in all the cells and hence in the entire mycelium. The het-R het-V SI strain, bearing the two incompatible het-R and het-V genes, proved particularly convenient as cell death triggering is thermosensitive (J. Labarère et al., 1973, C R Acad Sci Hebd Seances Acad Sci D, 276) and is induced by a simple shift in growth temperature (from 32°C to 26°C).The development of this cell death reaction has been recorded for 4 h after transfer to the restrictive temperature. A time course (T0h to T4h) of the transcriptomic response to the temperature shift has been explored in parallel within SI (het-R het-V) and wild type (compatible het-r hetV) s strains.

With Platform GPL10116 : reference design with 2 strains: a WT strain and het-R het-V self-incompatible strain (J. LabarM-CM-(re et al., 1973, C R Acad Sci Hebd Seances Acad Sci D, 276). Each strain with four biological replicates; the common reference is a pool of four conditions M48h, M96h, C48h and C96h ; Conditions are labelled in Cy3 and the common reference in Cy5.
Project description:We report that colonic lamina propria anti-inflammatory macrophages from Il10rb-/- (KO) mice at 12 weeks possessed significantly high levels of proinflammatory transcripts compared to the ones from Il10rb+/- (het) controls. While the transcriptional profile between macrophages from KO and het mice was comparable at 1 weeks and did not possess significant levels of proinflammatory transcripts, we show that the macrophages from KO mice were enriched for proinflammatory transcripts at 3 weeks compared to the ones from 3 week old het controls. These data indicate that the anti-inflammatory signature of colonic lamina propria macrophages from Il10rb-/- mice is compromized at 3 weeks.
