The immunotoxicity of PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) were reported previously, however, the detailed toxic mechanism remain unknown. Spleen is an important immune organ that controls the differentiation and development of immune cells including T cells, B cells, and macrophages etc. the disruption of the organ may result in altered immune functions and immunotoxicity.

View SamplesPluripotency-associated transcription factor Foxd3 is required for maintaining pluripotent cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its function are largely unknown. Here, we report that Foxd3 maintains the ESC identity through counteracting differentiation induction of Calcienurin-NFAT signaling.
Foxd3 suppresses NFAT-mediated differentiation to maintain self-renewal of embryonic stem cells.

View SamplesOver activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) by TCDD results ampng other phenotypes in severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. The link between thymic atrophy, skewed thymocyte differntiation and immunosuppression is still not fully resolved. This study investigates the TCDD elicted exprssion changes in the ET, cortical thymus epithelial cell line.
Promoter analysis of TCDD-inducible genes in a thymic epithelial cell line indicates the potential for cell-specific transcription factor crosstalk in the AhR response.

View SamplesOver-activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by TCDD in mice leads among other phenotypes to a severe thymic atrophy accompanied by immunosuppression. TCDD causes a block in thymocyte maturation and a preferential emigration of immature CD4-CD8- DN thymocytes (recent thymic emigrants) into the periphery. As part of this study gene expression profiles from DN thymocytes and thymic emigrants were generated from TCDD and solvent control mice
