Effects of T cell–specific IL-21 isoform expression on gene expression in mammary epithelial cells.

Listed in NCBI GEO

Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by CD4⁺ T cells that critically regulates the differentiation and functions of various adaptive and innate immune cells.

Description

In this study, to investigate the chronic effects of IL-21 on gene expression in mammary epithelial cells (MECs), MECs were isolated from 10-week-old transgenic mice expressing a membrane-bound IL-21 isoform specifically in T cells (IL-21isoTg) and subjected to RNA sequencing analysis, followed by comparison with wild-type controls.

IL-21isoTg MECs showed marked upregulation of genes associated with mammary gland development and lactation and Spp1.
