Project description:In this study, we performed a miRNA global profiling in human lung epithelial cells (A549) infected by two different subtypes of human influenza A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2). A549 cells were either mock-infected or infected at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 with H1N1 or H3N2 viruses, and total RNAs were isolated at 24 hours post-infection (hpi). An MOI of 1 was performed to ensure that 100% of the cells were infected at 24 hpi, a strategy that we have previously validated and used for a transcriptional profiling study of infected cells (Josset et al. , 2010). The purified RNAs were subjected to reverse transcription using a pool of miRNA RT primers (Human pool A v2.1, Applied Biosystems) and subsequently amplified and quantified by RT-qPCR in a TaqMan array MicroRNA card (Applied biosystems).
Project description:Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of human epithelial cells The activity of Malva sylvestris extract and fractions infected by A. actinomycetemcomitans were investigated using an adapted dual chamber model, oral human epithelial cells were used in the co-culture model. One microgram of RNA was converted in cDNA using RT2 First Strand Kit. 84 genes were analyzed using inflammatory response & Autoimmunity Array RT2 profiler (Qiagen Sabiosciences, Valencia, CA, USA) with buffers supplied by the manufacturer qPCR gene expression profiling. Oral human epithelial cells were infected by A. Actinomycetemcomintans and treated with Malva sylvestris extract and fractions prior to gene expression analysis.
Project description:Human bronchial epithelial cell line Beas-2B were infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae at Multiplicity of Infection (MOI) of 0.5 and 1 or treated with lipoteichonic acid (LTA) for 9 and 16 h. The mRNA profile changes upon infection shall be determined to investigate Streptococci pathogenesis.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of primary human blood-derived macrophages (BDMs) comparing control untreated BDMs with BDMs exposed with Streptococcus pneumoniae strain D39 (MOI 0.1 and 0.5) for 16 hours) Two-condition experiment, control BDMs vs. infected BDMs. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 infected replicates MOI 0.1, 2 infected replicates MOI 0.5).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of primary human alveolar macrophages (AMs) comparing control untreated AMs with AMs exposed with Serotype 14 Streptococcus pneumoniae (NCTC11902) strain (MOI 10) for 4 hours) Two-condition experiment, control AMs vs. infected AMs. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 infected replicates MOI 10.
Project description:Human coronary artery endothelial cells were infected with Chlamydophila pneumoniae. We monitor cellular gene expression profiling altered by life cycle of Chlamydophila pneumoniae using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array.
