Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of 251 whole-blood samples from children aged 2 years from the ENID mother-child cohort in The Gambia.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling in infant's blood from a mother/child cohort in The Gambia. The main variables of the analyses were the intra-uterine exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and the season of conception. The Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450k Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 450,000 CpGs in whole peripheral blood obtained at 3-6 months of age. A total of 124 samples were analysed, including 3 technical replicates.
Project description:To determine if there is differential gene expression response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in neutrophils from persons living with HIV who remain tuberculin skin test (TST) and inteferon gamma release assay (IGRA) negative and have no tuberculosis history (HITTIN) compared to persons living with HIV and no previous TB but TST and IGRA positive (HIT).
Project description:To compare gene expression changes induced by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) with changes induced by purified Mtb products, we infected THP-1 cells with Mtb strain H37Rv or treated with purified Mtb products, then performed RNAseq.
Project description:Bulk RNAseq data looking at transcriptional differences between Mtb-specific T cells in the lung, vs those in the vasculature (with naive, CD44low controls) during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Allowing us an unbiased way to discern differentially expressed genes in the two tissue spaces.
Project description:Trained Immunity (TRIM) is the phenomenon whereby innate immune cells such as monocytes or macrophages undergo functional reprogramming after exposure to specific microbial or metabolic components. In this study, monocytes were trained with beta-glucan and then re-exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
