Project description:Genomewide microaarray analysis of murine DP thymocytes to determine the genes whose expression was altered by FLVCR loss Gene signatures from Flvcr+/+ DP thymocytes was compared to gene signatures from Flvcr-/- DP thymocytes
Project description:Genomewide microaarray analysis of murine DP thymocytes to determine the genes whose expression was altered by FLVCR loss Gene signatures from Flvcr+/+ DP thymocytes was compared to gene signatures from Flvcr-/- DP thymocytes Total RNA obtained from sort-purified Flvcr-/- and Flvcr+/+ DP thymocytes
Project description:Review on the role of Bcl11b in thymus and periphery and impact on diseases RNA was extracted from DP thymocytes of bcl11bf/fCd4cre/tcra-/- and tcra-/- mice. Tcra-/- mice only have preselected DP thymocytes. Such mice were used to determine the role of Bcl11b before selection, considering the defective positive selection in bcl11bf/fcd4cre mice. RNA was isolated and submitted for library generation and microarray analysis to determine expression profile of bcl11b-/- preselected DP thymocytes.
Project description:We generated genome-wide H3K9me3-state maps of DP thymocytes purified from ESET+/+ and ESET-/- mice by using next generation sequencing. Examination of H3K9 trimethylation in DP thymocytes purified from ESET+/+ and ESET-/- mice.
Project description:T cell-specific deletion of PTEN induces premalignancy in CD4+ CD8+ (DP) immature T cells in the thymus, which progresses to the development of mature CD4+ T cell lymphomas in the lymph nodes and spleen. As part of a screen to identify factors that inhibit progression to malignancy, we compared miRNA expression in premalignant PTEN-deficient DP thymocytes versus wild-type controls.
Project description:We wanted to test the role of mammalian E proteins E2A and HEB in the development of T cells. Using a conditional deletion system in which these proteins are deleted at the DP stage of T cell development, we compared DP thymocytes deficient for E2A, HEB or both to wild-type thymocytes

Project description:T cell-specific deletion of PTEN induces premalignancy in CD4+ CD8+ (DP) immature T cells in the thymus, which progresses to the development of mature CD4+ T cell lymphomas in the lymph nodes and spleen. As part of a screen to identify factors that inhibit progression to malignancy, we compared miRNA expression in premalignant PTEN-deficient DP thymocytes versus wild-type controls. DP thymocytes were collected by cell sorting from three 9-week-old, premalignant T cell-specific PTEN-deficient mice (tPTEN-/-) and three littermate controls. miRNA expression was assessed relative to a reference pool generated from an equal mixture of all samples.
