RNAseq of colon intestinal epithelium extracted from mice infected with Citrobacter rodentium
The intestinal epithelium is our first line of defense against infections of the gut and the plasticity in cellular differentiation of the intestinal epithelium is an important part of this response. Here we sequenced the colon intestinal epithelium from mice infected with Citrobacter rodentium to determine how the intestinal epithelium adapts in the context of an infection. By comparing these data to small intestinal organoids treated with cytokines (see related accessions) we determine that the intestinal epithelial response to C. rodentium infection correspond to a type III infection driven by IL22.
