Project description:There is great interest in substituting animal with in vitro experimentation in human health risk assessment, but there are rather few comparisons of in vitro and in vivo biological responses to engineered nanomaterials (ENM). We used high-content genomics tools, to compare in vivo pulmonary responses of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) to those in vitro in cultured lung epithelial cells at the global transcriptomic level. Mouse lung epithelial cells were incubated with 12.5, 25 and 100 μg/ml of Mitsui7 and harvested at 24 hours post-exposure. This experiment examined the mouse lung epithelial cell line FE1's response following exposure to Mitsui7 multiwalled carbon nanotubes at three doses: D1 (12.5 μg/ml), D2 (25 μg/ml), D3 (100 μg/ml), and vehicle control. Each dose group was examined 24 hours post-exposure. Each dose group had 6 biological replicates. There were a total of 22 samples included in the final analysis using a two-color reference design.
Project description:Investigation of whole transcriptional changes in F. verticillioides FRC M-3125 when exposed to 5 μg/ml pyrrocidine A (PA), 20 μg/ml pyrrocidine B (PB), 50 μg/ml 2-benzoxazolinone (BOA), 50 μg/ml 2-oxindole (OXD), 50 μg/ml 2-coumaranone (CMN), or 50 μg/ml chlorzoxazone (CZX). Cultures were harvested one hour after exposure. Assessed in reference to control cultures of M-3125 exposed to DMSO (0.5% final concentration) since all the above compounds were dissolved in DMSO.
Project description:This study set out to identify global changes in gene expression in MKN45 gastric epithelial cells following 8 hours stimulation with 10 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the gastric pathogen H. pylori. Microarray analysis was used to compare changes in gene expression between cells treated with 10 μg/ml H. pylori LPS and untreated cells at the same time point.
Project description:This study set out to identify global changes in gene expression in AGS gastric epithelial cells following 8 hours stimulation with 10 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the gastric pathogen H. pylori. Microarray analysis was used to compare changes in gene expression between cells treated with 10 μg/ml H. pylori LPS and untreated cells at the same time point.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling to investigate the effect of drug treatment on the E. faecalis cells. For microarray analysis, E. faecalis OG1RF was grown in FMC medium supplemented with 10 mM glucose to an optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of 0.3 and the cultures were divided in 7 aliquots. One aliquot was collected by centrifugation and immediately frozen (untreated control cells). The other aliquots were treated for 30 or 60 min with 1.25 X the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of one of the following CW inhibitors: ampicillin (20 μg ml-1), bacitracin (80 μg ml-1), or cephalothin (80 μg ml-1). After an exposure time of 30 or 60 minutes, each of these cultures was also centrifuged and the pellets frozen. RNA was then isolated from each pellet for microarray analysis. This process was repeated 3 additional times, for a total of four replicates of each condition.
Project description:E.coli ATCC 25922 was overnight grown in 10 ml LB and passaged for 3 h with 1:50 dilution in fresh LB. Treated with tavaborole alone (80 μg/ml, labeled ‘A’) or tavaborole plus amikacin (80 μg/ml +40 μg/ml, labeled ‘AK’) for 6 h, cells were washed in PBS and harvested by centrifugation at 4,000 g, 8 min. After liquid nitrogen flash freezing, cells were stored at -80 °C and transported to company for following experiments
Project description:This study investigated the transcriptomic effects of PM2.5 in human ARPE-19 retinal pigment epithelial cells and evaluated the transcriptional responses associated with fucoidan treatment. ARPE-19 cells were assigned to four conditions: vehicle control, fucoidan (400 μg/mL), PM2.5 (200 μg/mL), and combined fucoidan plus PM2.5 treatment. Cells were treated for 24 hours before total RNA collection. RNA sequencing was performed to characterize PM2.5-induced gene expression changes and to determine how fucoidan modulates these transcriptional responses.

Project description:This study set out to identify global changes in gene expression in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells stably transfected with Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) over a 48 hour time-course, following stimulation with 10 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the gastric pathogen H. pylori. Microarray analysis was used to compare changes in gene expression between cells treated with 10 μg/ml H. pylori LPS and untreated cells at the same time point.
