GSE122711: Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier 1 (MPC1) enforces T cell homeostasis by enabling pyruvate oxidation in the mitochondria

Bulk RNA sequencing

The transporter which uptakes pyruvate into the mitochondria during pyruvate oxidation, called the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier (MPC), was only recently identified. While the MPC has been studied in a variety of cell types, including cancer cells and stem cells, very little is known about the importance of MPC in immune cells. Here, we delete MPC from hematopoietic cells and measure its impact on T cell gene expression. SOURCE: Ryan O'ConnellOCONNELL University of Utah
