Here, we characterized the transcriptome of MCs under steady state, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized and anti-IgE-treated conditions. Overall design: MCs were left untreated or sensitized overnight with myeloma-IgE (0.5 µg/ml) and treated with anti-IgE (1 µg/ml) for 2h. RNA was isolated with Trizol and RNeasy columns and RNA-seq was performed.

View SamplesStroke is a leading cause of adult disability and death. Inflammation plays an important role in stroke pathology, but the factors which promote brain inflammation in this setting remain to be fully defined. Here we investigate the meninges, the membranes that envelop the brain, for a potential role in modulating immune cell trafficking to the brain. We also investigate the potential of mast cells (MCs) to modulate this response as MCs are often considered as 'first responders' playing a critical role in the initiation and development of inflammation in many disease settings. We find that stroke increases expression of inflammatory and immune response genes in the meninges in mice consistent with a potential role in modulating immune cell trafficking. Moreover, genetic and cell transfer approaches identify MCs as important modulators of this response.

View SamplesThis analysis represents the first comprehensive sampling of germ cells in the developing testis over time, at high-resolution, single-cell depth. From these analyses, we have not only revealed novel genetic regulatory signatures of murine germ cells over time, but have also demonstrated that cell types positive for a single marker gene have the capacity to change dramatically during testis maturation, and therefore cells of a particular “identity” may differ significantly from postnatal to adult life. Overall design: Single-cell suspensions of mammalian testes ranging from PND6 to adult were processed for single-cell RNAseq (10x Genomics Chromium) and libraries were sequenced on a NextSeq500 (Illumina).

View SamplesNeonates are intrinsically defective at creating memory CD8+ T cells in response to infection with intracellular pathogens. Here we investigated differential of small RNAs, transcription factors, and chemokine receptors regulation in neonates as compared to adults before and during infection. We found that prior to infection, na誰ve cells have a different expression profile for many microRNAs, and gene targets of these microRNAs show widespread expression differences. These targets and other changes in gene expression in na誰ve cells result in neonatal cells that get activated more easily, express chemokine receptors that home to sites of infection, and are less protected from apoptosis during contraction. As a result, changes in neonatal na誰ve cells drive effector cell terminal differentiation at the expense of creating long-lived memory cells. Overall design: total RNAs were sequenced from adult and neonatal CD8+ T cells before and during infection

View SamplesNeonates often generate incomplete immunity against intracellular pathogens, although the mechanism of this defect is poorly understood. An important question is whether the impaired development of memory CD8+ T cells in neonates is due to an immature priming environment or lymphocyte-intrinsic defects. Here we show that neonatal and adult CD8+ T cells adopted different fates when responding to equal amounts of stimulation in the same host. While adult CD8+ T cells differentiated into a heterogeneous pool of effector and memory cells, neonatal CD8+ T cells preferentially gave rise to short-lived effector cells and exhibited a distinct gene expression profile. Surprisingly, impaired neonatal memory formation was not due to a lack of responsiveness, but instead because neonatal CD8+ T cells expanded more rapidly than adult cells and quickly became terminally differentiated. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that neonatal CD8+ T cells exhibit an imbalance in effector and memory CD8+ T cell differentiation, which impairs the formation of memory CD8+ T cells in early life Overall design: mRNA profiles of effector CD8+ T cells from neonatal and adult mice
Rapid proliferation and differentiation impairs the development of memory CD8+ T cells in early life.

View SamplesLysosome-related organelles have versatile functions including protein and lipid degradation, signal transduction, and protein secretion. The molecular elucidation of rare congenital diseases affecting endosomal/lysosomal biogenesis has given insights into physiological functions of the innate and adaptive immune system.. Here, we describe a novel human primary immunodeficiency disorder and provide evidence that the endosomal adaptor protein p14, previously characterized as confining mitogen-activated-protein-kinase (MAPK) signaling to late endosomes, is critical for the function of neutrophils, B-cells, cytotoxic T-cells and melanocytes. Combining genetic linkage studies and transcriptional profiling analysis, we identified a homozygous point mutation in the 3 UTR of p14 (also known as MAPBPIP), resulting in decreased protein expression. In p14-deficient cells, the distribution of late endosomes was severely perturbed, suggesting a novel role for p14 in endosomal biogenesis. These findings have implications for understanding endosomal membrane dynamics, compartmentalization of cell signal cascades, and their role in immunity.
