transcriptome of purified PC and non-PC fractions: GR-WT & GR-KO

Paneth Cells (PCs) are secretory cells located in the crypts of Lieberkühn of the small intestine. They produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and are thought to keep the microbiome under control. The cytokine TNF, which functions mainly via its TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1 or P55), is a driving force in many inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, but its impact on PCs is poorly known. We have generated intestinal glucocorticoid receptor knockout mice (GR villin KO) and investigated the diffrences between WT and KO paneth and non-paneth cell fractionf from the cell sorting.
