The aim of the experiment was to compare to single and combined effect of Ikaros activation and IL-7 withdrawal in the Ikaros-null pre-B cell line BH1
Ikaros is absolutely required for pre-B cell differentiation by attenuating IL-7 signals.

View SamplesWe have observed that follicular B cells from mice with a hypomorphic mutation (IkL/L) in the Ikzf1 gene (which encodes the Ikaros transcription factor) exhibit an increased proliferative response to anti-IgM stimulation (Kirstetter et al, Eur J Immunol, 32:720-30, 2002). We asked if Ikaros controls the transcriptional response that unfolds after activation, or if differences in the transcriptional landscape of resting B cells could explain the altered response. To this end, we have determined the transcriptome of unstimulated WT and IkL/L follicular B cells, as well as that of cells stimulated for 3h and 12h with anti-IgM. Samples from 2 independent experients were analyzed.
Ikaros limits follicular B cell activation by regulating B cell receptor signaling pathways.
Age, Specimen part
View SamplesIkaros hypomorphic mice (IkL/L) show plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) defects with an absence of pDCs in the peripheral organs and a reduction of pDCs in the bone marrow (BM). Moreover in vitro differentiation of pDC from IkL/L total BM cells is also defective.
Ikaros cooperates with Notch activation and antagonizes TGFβ signaling to promote pDC development.
Treatment
View SamplesTo assess the importance of the Wnt pathway during T cell develoment, we generated a mouse line (R26-cat) in which high levels of active -catenin are maintained throughout T cell development. Young R26-cat mice (6-week-old) show a differentiation block at the CD4+CD8+ DP stage. All R26-cat mice develop T cell leukemias with a DP phenotype at 5-6 months of age.
β-Catenin activation synergizes with Pten loss and Myc overexpression in Notch-independent T-ALL.

View SamplesIn the adult mammalian testis, spermatogenic differentiation starts from a minute population of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). SSCs are generated after birth from the fetal gonocytes, themselves derived from the primordial germ cells (PGCs), which are specified during the first days after implantation. Transcriptome profiling of purified preparations evidenced the preferential accumulation in SSCs of transcripts of PU.1 (Sfpi1), a regulatory gene previously identified in hematopoietic progenitors. In situ immunolabeling and RNA determination showed a complex pattern of expression in the adult testis, first in SSCs and early spermatogonia followed by de novo expression in pachytene spermatocytes.

View SamplesThe experiment aimed at determining the genes that are under the control of the Ikaros transcription factor in mouse splenic B1 and B2 B lymphocyte subsets. To this aim, we used Ikf/f R26-CreERT2+ (Cre+) or Ikf/f R26-CreERT2- (Cre-) mice, which correspond to mice with floxed null alleles for Ikzf1 (Heizmann et al., JEM 210:2823-32, 2013) that were crossed with the R26-CreERT2 mice, which harbor a knock-in of the cDNA encoding the tamoxifen (TAM) inducible CreERT2 recombinase in the Rosa26 gene (Badea et al, J. Neurosci 23:2314-22, 2003). 6-8 week-old mice were injected daily with TAM for 3d (50mg/kg). Mice were sacrificed 10d after the first injection, and splenic B1 and B2 B cell populations sorted by flow cytometry.
