Project description:Increases in terminally exhausted T cells in the tumor are associated with poor responses to immunotherapy, yet the mechanisms that promote progression to terminal exhaustion remain undefined. To understand the effect of epigenetic changes in subsets of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, we performed RNA-seq to understand changes in gene expression. CD8 T cells were sorted from the murine B16 melanoma tumor using PD1 and Tim3 expression to define four subsets: PD1lo, PD1mid, PD1hi, and PD1hiTim3+. Additional control samples include paired CD44+ cells from the tumor-draining lymph node of tumor bearing mice, and OT-I effector CD8 T cells isolated from Vaccinia-ova infection. CD8 TIL PD1hi Tim3+ from B16 tumors treated with IgG control, anti-PD1 or anti-41BB agonist immunotherapies were also isolated for RNAseq.
Project description:Mice were injected s.c. in the front of the abdomen with 1 × 106 B16-OVA tumor cells. At 10 days after tumor injection, mice (5/group) were treated with adoptive transfer of 2.5 × 106 Th1, Th9 or Th17 cells, followed by i.v. injection of 2.5 × 105 peptide-pulsed BMDC. Total RNA was extracted with RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) from CD45.1+CD4+ Th cells sorted from spleens of tumor-bearing mice 12 days after transfer.
Project description:To establish cancer cells escaping from host immunity, we used murine B16 melanoma cell line expressing ovalbumin (B16OVA) and inoculated into mice immunized with OVA. Using this model, we established cell lines after the in vivo passage through distinct immunological condition. B16OVA tumor exposed to OVA-specific CD8+ T cell immunity in OVA-immunized B6 mice were isolated and established five variants (IMM1, 2, 8). For comparison, B16OVA tumors from non-immunized naïve B6 mice or OVA-immunized IFN-gamma-deficient mice were also isolated and established four variants, namely NIMM (1, 3, 4) cell lines or GKO-IMM (1, 2, 3) cell lines, respectively.
Project description:We reported transcriptional characterization of tumor-infiltrating T regulatory cells (TITRs) that is shared between species and among different tumor types and stages. We genomically profiled immunocytes from 2 species: 1. Mouse: CD4+ Treg and Tconv, and CD8+ T cells from tumor and spleen of B16, MC38 or CT26 tumor bearing mice, as well as from spleens of non-tumor bearing mice. 2. Human: CD4+ Treg cells from surgically resected and cryopreserved human colorectal carcinomas or normal colon tissue.
Project description:Compared to CAR.CD19 T cells, we found that CAR.CD19 NKTs showed superior control of tumor growth in the B16-OVA-hCD19 melanoma model without evident toxicity. To investigate whetehr CAR.CD19 NKTs could affect the TME in the tumor. We used the single RNA seq to test the TME cell populations in the B16-OVA-hCD19 model between CAR.CD19 NKTs and CAR.CD19 Ts.
Project description:Increases in terminally exhausted T cells in the tumor are associated with poor responses to immunotherapy, yet the mechanisms that promote progression to terminal exhaustion remain undefined. We profiled the chromatin landscape of subsets of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells using CUT&RUN. CD8 T cells were sorted from the murine B16 melanoma tumor using PD1 and Tim3 expression to define four subsets: PD1lo, PD1mid, PD1hi, and PD1hiTim3+. Additional control samples include paired CD44+ cells from the tumor-draining lymph node of tumor bearing mice, and OT-I effector CD8 T cells isolated from Vaccinia-ova infection. We performed CUT&RUN for H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac, and H3K9ac, as well as the transcription factors Tox and Batf.
Project description:Proteome analysis of Lung tissue of mice bearing B16-F10-luc-G5 melanoma tumor with sleep fragmentation and with or with out the asdmistration of GL-pp. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group in general condition with no further treatment (CON group), tumor group with the burden of B16-F10-luc-G5 cells (Tumor group), T+SF group with SF and the burden of B16-F10-luc-G5 cells (T+SF group), and GL-pp group with SF, tumor cells burden, and the administration of 80 mg/kg GL-pp (GL-pp group). B16-F10-luc-G5 cells (5 × 1000000 cells/100 µL per mouse) were injected into the mice through the tail vein. The lung tissue of T+SF group and GL-pp group were analyzed by the proteome.
Project description:Single-cell transcriptome profiling using a 3' droplet-based platform (Chromium,10x Genomics) of CD11b+ cells isolated from the spleen of control and tumor-bearing mice, treated or not with IFN gene therapy.
Project description:We sorted the MDSCs from the bone marrows of B16-F10 tumor-bearing mice and the naive mice. In addition, we cultured MDSCs in vitro to determine the effect of DOX (5µM).
