Project description:PD-1+/- Th cells were sorted by flow cytometry C57BL/6 mice were infected with P. yoelii. The differentially expressed genes of PD-1+/- Th cells from the spleen of the infected mice were acquired by microarray
Project description:Primary outcome(s): Correlation between PD-L1 expression in immune cells and soluble PD-L1 value. Correlation between PD-L1 expression in immune cells or soluble PD-L1 value and PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue. Characterstics of PD-L1 expression in immune cells or soluble PD-L1 value in each gastrointestinal cancer type.
Project description:Human Th, Treg and Th and Treg together can induce monocytes differentiate into different myeloid cell population. We were trying to compare the transcriptome of these populations. We used microarrays to detail transcriptome of Th and Treg induced regulatory DCs.
Project description:LC-MS/MS targeted files submitted as support material for the paper: Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of PD-L1 protein expression, N-glycosylation and expression stoichiometry with PD-1 and PD-L2 in human melanoma.
Project description:We compared gene expression profiles of Th cells, macrophages and monocytes isolated from the inflamed colon of colitis induced by the transfer of WT versus Tbx21-/- Th cells in Rag1-/- recipients.
Project description:Blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 immunosuppressive pathway has shown promise in the treatment of certain cancers including melanoma. This study investigates differences in the gene expression profiles of human melanomas that do or do not display the immunosuppressive protein PD-L1. Further understanding of genes expressed within the tumor microenvironment of PD-L1+ tumors may lead to improved rationally designed treatments. Gene expression profiling was performed on total RNA extracted by laser capture microdissection from 11 archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) melanoma specimens, 5 of which were PD-L1 positive and 6 PD-L1 negative. Details of the design, and the gene signatures found are given in the paper associated with this GEO Series: Janis M. Taube, Geoffrey D. Young, Tracee L. McMiller, Shuming Chen, January T.

Project description:Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is known to suppress immune system and to be an unfavorable prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the function of PD-L1 in peritoneal dissemination. Tumor cell lysis by CTLs was attenuated when PD-L1 on tumor cells was overexpressed and promoted when it was silenced. PD-L1 overexpression also inhibited gathering and degranulation of CTLs. Gene expression profile of mouse CTLs caused by PD-L1-overexpressing ovarian cancer was related to human CTLs exhaustion. In mouse ovarian cancer dissemination models, depleting PD-L1 expression on tumor cells resulted in inhibited tumor growth in the peritoneal cavity and prolonged survival. Restoring immune function by inhibiting immune-suppressive factors such as PD-L1 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for peritoneal dissemination. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in OT-1 mouse CD8+ T cells that were co-incubated with OVA peptide-loaded ID8 mouse ovarian cancer cell lines. CTLs from 4 mice were devided into 2 groups, and co-incubated with PD-L1-overexpressed ID8 or PD-L1-depleted ID8.
