Microarrays of macrophages infected with smooth or rough Brucella suis

ABSTRACT: The macrophage-Brucella interaction is critical for the establishment of a chronic Brucella infection. Smooth virulent B. suis strain 1330 (S1330) prevents macrophage cell death. However, rough attenuated B. suis strain VTRS1 induces strong macrophage cell death. To further investigate the mechanism of VTRS1-induced macrophage cell death, microarrays were used to analyze temporal transcriptional responses of murine macrophage-like J774. A1 cells infected with S1330 or VTRS1. Murine J774.A1 macrophages were plated in T75 at 8 x 10^6 cells per flask one day prior to infection, and then infected with B. suis S1330 or VTRS1 at a MOI of 200:1. Total RNAs were isolated by TRIzol and further purified using Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 h post infecti
