GSE140422: Gene expression profiling of Th17, Th1*, Treg cells in the spinal cord of EAE mice , and Th17, Treg cells in the SILP of SFB colonized mice

Bulk RNA sequencing

The goal of the RNAseq experiment is to compare gene expression of T cells in different microenvironments. We hypothesized that same T cell subtype (Th17/Th1* cells, or Treg cells in this study) need to change gene expression to adapt to different microenvironments (spinal cord in EAE mice VS. SILP in SFB-colonized mice). By profiling and comparing gene expression of these cells, we were able to identify candidate genes that enable cells for tissue adaptation for functional study.
