Project description:The spectrum of pathogen-specific CD8+T cell functionalities, including their chemokine production profiles, remains incompletely defined. Here, we have employed microarray analyses to determine the gene expression profiles of lymphocytic choriomeningits virus- (LCMV-) specific effector (TE) and memory (TM) CD8+T cells in the established p14 chimera model; analyses of p14 TE and TM expression profiles were conducted directly ex vivo and after 3h TCR engagement using aCD3 and aCD28 antibodies (note that the present ex vivo p14 TE and TM data have previously been uploaded in the context of a related study [GSE38462] and are included here due to analyses now conducted together with stimulated p14 TE and TM data).
Project description:Exposure to inflammatory cytokines driven by bystander cytokines can have profound effects on the function of memory CD8 T cells. Here we transferred a 1-5X10^4 of P14 TCR-tg T cells (specific for gp33-41 of LCMV) on day -1 followed by infection with 2X10^5 PFU of LCMV Armstrong ip to generate memory P14 populations. Mice were rested for >50 days before further challenge. Mice containing memory P14 populations were either mock-infected with saline, infected with 2X10^6 Pichinde Virus ip (no cross-reactivity wtih LCMV gp33-41) or infected with 2X10^6 Pichinde Virus ip together with daily injections of 200 micrograms of anti-CD122 antibody (clone TM-b1). On day 4 following indicated treatments P14s were flow sorted and RNA was extracted from 1X10^6 cells using an RNeasy kit (Qiagen). Each group had 3 biological replicates. Transcriptomes were compared by DAVID analysis (p<0.01, Fold-Change > 1.5) 3 biological replicates per group. Groups included P14 from mock-infected mice, P14 from Pichinde virus infected mice and P14 from Pichinde virus and anti-cd122 treated mice.

Project description:Mice used were in a mixed background between 129/SvEv and C57BL/6. They were Rp1 knockout mice (Rp1-/-). Triplicates of RNA samples from Rp1-/- neural retinas for hybridization were collected at P14. Each RNA sample included a pool of neural retinas from 3-4 mice. Retinas were all collected at 1-2 pm of the day. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:Mice used were in a mixed background between 129/SvEv and C57BL/6. They were wildtype littermates of Rp1-/- mice used in parallel experiments. Triplicates of RNA samples from Rp1+/+ neural retinas for hybridization were collected at P14. Each RNA sample included a pool of neural retinas from 3-4 mice. Retinas were all collected at 1-2 pm of the day. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway impacts various aspects of CD8 T cell homeostasis, such as effect versus memory cell differentiation, during viral infection. We used microarrays to determine which downstream molecules were affected and what other signaling pathways were interconnected with the Akt pathway by constitutive activation of Akt in LCMV-infected CD8 T cells. Splenocytes from naive P14/WT or P14/Akt mice were stained with anti-CD8 and anti-Ly5.1, and CD8 T cells were sorted using a FACSAria II instrument. Purified Ly5.1+ CD8 T cells from P14/WT or P14/Akt mice were transferred into B6 mice, which were subsequently infected with LCMV Armstrong. At day 8 post infection, splenocytes were stained with anti-CD8, anti-Ly5.1, anti-KLRG1, and anti-CD127. Following staining, short-lived effector cells (SLECs) and memory precursor effector cells (MPECs) were sorted using the FACSAria II instrument; the purity of the sorted cells was >95%. A total of 5 samples were analyzed, including WT naive, WT SLEC, WT MPEC, Akt naive and Akt SLEC.
Project description:A cell suspension was prepared from wild-type P14 mouse retinas, and single-cell mRNAseq libraries were generated with Drop-Seq. Drop-Seq was performed on four separate days using the same age (P14) and strain (C57BL/6). On day 1, replicate 1 was obtained. On day 2, replicates 2 and 3 were obtained. On day 3, replicates 4-6 were obtained. On day 4, replicate 7 was obtained.
Project description:5 days after fertilisation the human embryo forms a blastocyst, comprising an outer layer of trophectoderm (TE), that gives rise to placental trophoblast cells, and the inner cell mass (ICM) which later segregates into epiblast (EPI) and primitive endoderm (PE). After implantation TE differentiates into cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs) which give rise to the multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast (STB) and invasive extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs). A conserved molecular cascade regulates TE initiation (Gerri et al. Nature 2020), but subsequent TE development is poorly defined. To study this in greater detail we performed RNA-seq analysis of human blastocysts cultured to different stages of pre-implantation TE development: Day 5: TE appearance, Day 6: TE expansion and Day 7: TE hatching.
