Transcription factors associated with upregulated genes within Vδ1 and Vδ2 T cell subsets. (A) The Predicting associated transcription factors from annotated affinities (PASTAA) software revealed a list of four transcription factors (TFs) associated with Vδ1 T cells, five TFs common to both subpopulations, and 42 associated with Vδ2 T cells. (B) Top TFs associated with Vδ1 and Vδ2 T cells, are shown. Upon stimulation with ionomycin (C) NFAT (D) AhR and (E) CD69 or α-CD3 monoclonal antibody (F) NFAT (G) AhR and (H) CD69 expression were analyzed in Vδ1 and Vδ2 T cells after 3 and 24 hours of exposure in the presence or absence of inhibitors of NFAT (cyclosporine A, CsA) or AhR (CH223191). Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test were used to compare the data. Normalized mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and frequency of CD69 expression to the untreated or DMSO controls are presented.
