Project description:Macrophages adopt dynamic functional states to maintain tissue homeostasis or respond to environmental challenges. Here we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen in primary BMDMs identifiying negative regulators of iNOS expression in response to IFNg stimulation.
Project description:This experiement aims to know what the differences of protein translation are in the bone marrow derived macro-phages(BMDMs) from WT mice and Elp3 KO mice. We treated the BMDMs with or without IL-4 for 4 hours.
Project description:Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using TKOv1 sgRNA library performed in isogenic RBM10-proficient and RBM10-deficient HCC827 cells.
Project description:We have identified mouse Ninj1 as a protein responsible for plasma membrane integrity following cell death stimuli. Ninj1 KO BMDMs have a distinct bubble morphology wherein cell cytoplasmic contents fail to be released following cell death. To determine contributing factors to Ninj1 KO morphology, we performed RNAseq in WT and Ninj1 KO murine BMDMs with or without priming.
Project description:Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen using TKOv1 sgRNA library was performed in isogenic RBM10-proficient and RBM10-deficient HCC827 cells.
Project description:Bone marrow was harvested from Rosa26CreER; Stk40+/+ (WT; n = 3) and Rosa26CreER; Stk40loxp/loxp (Stk40 KO; n = 3) mice and differentiated for 6 days in the presence of 100 nM 4-OHT to generate WT and Stk40 KO bone-marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs). 2. On day 7 following differentiation BMDMs were treated with 100 ng x ml-1 LPS and harvested at 0 hrs, 6 hrs, 16 hrs, and 32 hrs following LPS exposure. 3. The cells were snap-frozen at the time of harvest. RNA was extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit as per manufacturer’s protocol including the on-column DNase digestion. Groups: There are cells from 3 mice x 2 genotypes x 4 time points G1: WT 0 hr LPS G2: WT 6 hr LPS G3: WT 16 hr LPS G4: WT 32 hr LPS G5: Stk40 KO 0 hr LPS G6: Stk40 KO 6 hr LPS G7: Stk40 KO 16 hr LPS G8: Stk40 KO 32 hr LPS
