Project description:AJ mouse is susceptible to lung carcinogenesis from urethane treatment and is a good model for human adenocarcinoma. We completed a study using microarray analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage cells from control or urethane treated mice. A unique macrophage expression signature in the lung tumor microenvironment was able to correctly classify the lavage samples. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from bronchoalveolar lavage cells of age matched untreated AJ mice controls (C) or from urethane treated (T) AJ mice was prepared. Datasets were accurately classified using a unique macrophage gene expression signature derived from the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:AJ mouse is susceptible to lung carcinogenesis from urethane treatment and is a good model for human adenocarcinoma. We completed a study using microarray analysis to identify a unique macrophage expression signature in the lung tumor microenvironment. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from lung tissues of age matched untreated controls (Normal) from AJ mice were from two time points 24 to 26 weeks (N) or 42 weeks (N42) after saline injection. Datasets were compared to previously published adjacent to tumor lung tissues in Stearman et al Am J Path 167 1763 (2005).
Project description:This project aimed to define the proteome of inflammatory lung neutrophils and determine how his is regulated by exposure to in vivo hypoxia. An acute lung injury was induced using nebulised LPS. Following LPS administration mice were housed in either normal room air or in a hypoxic chamber set at an inspired oxygen concentration of 10%. Highly pure bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) neutrophils were isolated from the lungs of C57Bl6 mice 24 hours after being treated with LPS.
Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus mutant strains were collected from bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALFs) during acute mouse infection (4 and 12 hours). Transcriptional analysis were conducted by comparison of each mutant with the wild type strain (CEA17) in a dye swap experiment. Besides, we performed the transcriptional profile of akuB(KU80) mutant compared to CEA17 wild type strain. All the strains were recovered from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from CD1 mice infected with 10e8 spores for 4 and 12 hours.
Project description:Tissue-resident macrophages can derive from yolk sac macrophages, fetal liver monocytes or adult bone marrow monocytes. Whether these precursors can give rise to transcriptionally identical alveolar macrophages is unknown. Here, we transferred traceable yolk sac macrophages, fetal liver monocytes, adult bone marrow monocytes or adult alveolar macrophages as a control, into the empty alveolar macrophage niche of neonatal Csf2rb-/- mice. All precursors efficiently colonized the alveolar niche and generated alveolar macrophages that were transcriptionally almost identical, with only 22 genes that could be linked to their origin. Underlining the physiological relevance of our findings, all transfer-derived alveolar macrophages self-maintained within the lungs for up to 1 year and durably prevented alveolar proteinosis. Thus, precursor origin does not affect the development of functional self-maintaining tissue-resident macrophages. CD45.1+CD45.2+ yolk sac macrophages, fetal liver monocytes, adult bone marrow monocytes or adult alveolar macrophages from the bronchoalveolar lavage were sorted from wild type CD45.1+CD45.2+ mice of indicated ages. From part of these samples RNA was isolated. The other part was transferred intranasally into the lungs of neonate Csf2rb-/- mice. 6 weeks post-transfer, transfer-derived CD45.1+CD45.2+ alveolar macrophages were sorted from the bronchoalveolar lavage. Wild type CD45.1+CD45.2 alveolar macrophages from the bronchoalveolar lavage of 6 week old mice were sorted as control. 36 samples (arrays) in total. RNA was isolated, amplified with Nugene pico kit, converted to cDNA and then hybridised on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.
