RNA-seq of mouse ileum to investigate the role of IL-17 receptor signaling in Paneth cells in their biology and intestinal physiology
IL-17 receptor plays a major role in the antibacterial defense and regulation of host-microbiota interaction. However its impact on Paneth cells, cell-type specific for production of antibacterial peptides, is still not clear. Here, we used genetic depletion of IL-17 receptor specific for Paneth cell population (Defa6-iCre x Il17ra-flox) and performed the RNA sequencing on FACS-sorted Paneth cells and also complete ileum tissue, comparing Cre+ and Cre- littermates.
