Project description:To investigate the effect of Progranulin on neutrophils phagocytosis and killing of Candida albicans, we designed RNA-Seq analysis of wild-type and PGRN-/- neutrophils challenged with Candida albicans in vitro at one time point.
Project description:To investigate the effect of progranulin on macrophages phagocytosis and killing of Candida albicans, we designed RNA-Seq analysis of wild-type and PGRN-/- macrophages challenged with Candida albicans in vitro at one time point.
Project description:To investigate the effect of Candida albicans on ILC3 cells and dendritic cells these subytpes were isolated by flow cytometry, in similar fashion candida specific T-cells were obtained and subjected to bulk mRNA sequencing
Project description:This study investigated the effect of milbemycons as efflux inhibitors and antifungal agents. Milbemycin oxims can inhibit growth of Candida glabrata and C. albicans. The effect of milbemycins on transcriptomes was inbvestigated.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans cells grown under planktonic and biofilm-inducing conditions, comparing SN76 and sfl1Δ/sfl1Δ strains. Goal was to study the effect of SFL1 deletion on the transcriptomic profile of C. albicans planktonic and biofilm cells under acidic conditions, in order to reveal the function of the Sfl1 transcription factor in C. albicans biofilm development.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans after 3 h phagocytosis by vehicle DMSO-treated macrophages (intact, expanding phagosomes) or calcium chelator BAPTA-AM-treated macrophages (inhibits lysosomal repair of expanding phagosomes, leading to phagosome rupture) to determine the effect of preventing phagosome expansion on C. albicans gene expression after phagocytosis by macrophages. Cultivation of Candida only for 3 h in DMEM-FBS cell culture medium or YPD complex medium as non-phagocytosis control conditions.
