Altered CD4 + T cell differentiation in Pik3cd E1020K/+ mice in vivo. Supporting data for Fig. 2. (A) Feature plots showing expression of Th2-defining genes Il1rl1, Il4, IL5, and Il13 in scRNAseq analyses of lung CD45+ immune cells from the indicated mice. Cells from three mice were analyzed by scRNAseq per genotype and condition. (B) Flow cytometry of lung CD4 T cells (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8) measuring GATA3 expression in the indicated populations. n = 9–10 for each group, pooled from two independent experiments. Left: Representative plots showing GATA3 and CD4 expression. Right: Frequencies (left) and cell counts (right) of GATA3+ CD4 T cells in the indicated groups. (C–E) Frequencies of (C) IL-13+ (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8 CD4+); (D) IL-17A+ (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8 CD4+), and (E) Foxp3+ (Treg) lung CD4 T cells (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8 CD4+) in the indicated groups, measured by intracellular staining and flow cytometry. n = 9–10 for each group, pooled from two independent experiments. (F and G) Cytokine concentrations (pg/ml) measured from lung homogenates from the indicated mice by Luminex. Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-5 are shown in F, and Th1 cytokines GM-CSF and TNFα are shown in G. n = 9–10 for each group, pooled from two independent experiments. (H–L) WT and Pik3cdE1020K/+ animals were infected intranasally with C. neoformans, and were sacrificed 10 days after infection, and lung tissue was harvested for analysis. n = 6 for each group, pooled from two independent experiments. (H) Experimental design. (I) Cell counts of CD4 T cells (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8 CD4+) from lungs of the indicated mice. (J) Flow cytometry of lung CD4 T cells (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8) measuring GATA3 and Tbet expression in the indicated populations. Left: Representative flow cytometry plots. Right: Frequencies of Tbet+ and GATA3+ CD4 T cells from the indicated groups. (K) Frequencies of IL-4/5/13+ (left), IFNγ+ (middle), and IL-2+ (right) lung CD4 T cells (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8 CD4+) in the indicated groups, measured by intracellular staining and flow cytometry. Frequencies of IL-4/5/13+ cells were calculated using Boolean (or) gating. (L) Cell counts of eosinophils (liveCD45+CD3NK1.1CD19CD11b+Ly6GSiglecF+) and neutrophils (liveCD45+CD3NK1.1CD19CD11b+Ly6G+) from lungs of the indicated mice. (M–O) Supplemental data for CD4+ T cell transfer experiments in Fig. 2, I–L. n = 9–10 mice for each group, pooled from two independent experiments. (M) Cell counts (left) and frequencies (right) of GATA3+ CD4 T cells from the indicated groups. (N) Representative flow cytometry plots showing IFNγ and IL-4 expression in lung CD4 T cells (liveCD45+TCRβ+CD4+CD8) from the indicated mice. (O) Cell counts of neutrophils (liveCD45+CD3NK1.1CD19CD11b+Ly6G+) from lungs of the indicated mice. Statistical comparisons were made using unpaired t tests. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
