ABSTRACT: Mass spectrometry dataset asssociated with the profiling of Epicoccum nigrum cultures (liquid and solid media) which have led to the isolation of anitins.

Project description:Approximately 500 surface sterilized seeds of Arabidopsis seeds (ecotype: Col-0) were sterilely sown on filter disks overlaying solid ½ MS media 1% sucrose, stratified at 4C for 48 h and grown in darkness at 25C for 4 d. Seedlings were gently submerged by application to the plates of the different auxin solutions (made in ethanol carrier; 0.1% final concentration) and at the indicated times, the seedlings were lifted from the plate en mass and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Keywords: repeat sample

Project description:Expression data from airway brush biopsy samples, differentiated primary cultures of human airway epithelia, CaLu3 cultures at the air liquid interface, and primary cultures of human airway epithelia submerged in nutrient media Organotypic cultures of primary human airway epithelial cells have been used to investigate the morphology, ion and fluid transport, innate immunity, transcytosis, infection, inflammation, signaling, cilia and repair functions of this complex tissue. However, we do not know how close these cultures resemble the epithelia in vivo. In this study, we examine the genome-wide expression profile of human airway epithelial cells in vivo obtained from brush biopsies of the trachea and bronchus of healthy volunteers and compare it to the expression profile of primary cultures of human airway epithelia grown at the air-liquid interface. For comparison we also investigate the expression profile of Calu3 cells grown at the air-liquid interface and primary cultures of human airway epithelia submerged in nutrient media.
Project description:In this study, screening efforts identified novel antifolates with potent, targeted activity against whole cell Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of antifolate-treated cultures revealed unique metabolic disruption, including decreased pools of methionine and S-adenosylmethionine. Transcriptomic analysis highlighted up-regulation genes involved in the biosynthesis and utilization of methionine. Supplementation with amino acids or methionine derivatives was sufficient to rescue cultures from MIC-level antifolate treatment. Instead of the “thymineless death” that characterizes folate pathway inhibition in a wide variety of organisms, these data suggest that M. tuberculosis is vulnerable to a critical disruption of the biosynthesis of methionine-derived compounds.
Project description:Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the key signal molecules in regulating plant resistance to diverse pathogens. It is predominantly associated with resistance against biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens, and triggering systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Arabidopsis. However, whether and how SA directly affects Fusarium graminearum and how SA influences the defence efficiency of wheat against fusarium head blight (FHB) are still poorly understood. Previous experiments have shown that the growth of F. graminearum mycelia and the germination of spores were significantly inhibited, and eventually stopped by increasing amounts of SA in both liquid and solid media cultures. Co-inoculation of SA and Fg spores has led to reduced FHB symptoms in the very susceptible Triticum aestivum cultivar ‘Roblin’. To better understand the effect of SA on F. graminearum mycelial growth, we have compared the expression profiles of SA-treated and untreated F. graminearum liquid cultures after 8 and 24 h of treatment, using an F. graminearum custom-commercial microarray. The microarray analysis suggests that F. graminearum can metabolize SA through two pathways, the gentisate and catechol pathways that are present in many fungal species. Additional experiments have confirmed the capacity of F. graminearum to metabolize SA. Our results demonstrate that, although F. graminearum has the capacity to metabolize SA, SA has a significant and direct impact on F. graminearum through a reduction in efficiency of germination and growth at higher concentrations.
Project description:Interventions: Group 1: Colon tissue (tumor, control tissue and tissue from diverticulitis patients) which is optained within a surgical intervention at the Asklepios Paulinen Clinic in Wiesbaden is directly transferred to the Clinic of Pathology of the Helios Dr.-Horst-Schmidt-Clinic Wiesbaden, where it is categorized.
Within 24 h the tissue is collected from a staff of the Insitute of clinical Pharamcology University of Frankfurt.
At the Institute of clinical Pharmacology of the University hospital Frankfurt the tissue is prepared for immunohistochemistry, for detection of lipids by liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, for single cell isolation, FACS analysis, and in vitro culture experiments.
Primary outcome(s): Lipid level after stimulation and anti-inflammatory therapy
