Project description:Gene expression profiling of human promyelocytic cells in response to infection with Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Total RNA derived from 3DPI Anaplasma phagocytophilum-infected HL-60 cells was labeled with A647 and total RNA derived from 3DPI Mock-infected HL-60 cells was labeled with A546. For each, 5 µg of total RNA was labeled using Genisphere Array900, Alexa Fluor dyes and SuperscriptII. Slide scanned with ScanArray Express and images processed with GenePix Pro version 4.0. Normalized log ratios VALUES determined using R-project statistical environment (http://www.r-project.org) and Bioconductor (http://www.bioconductor.org) through the GenePix AutoProcessor (GPAP, http://darwin.biochem.okstate.edu/gpap) website (P. Ayoubi, unpublished results). Keywords: time-course
Project description:Anaplasma phagocytophilum infects a wide variety of host species and causes the diseases granulocytic anaplasmosis in humans, horses and dogs and tick-borne fever in ruminants. The objective of this research was to characterize differential gene expression in wild boar naturally infected with A. phagocytophilum by microarray hybridization using the GeneChip® Porcine Genome Array

Project description:Previously, we observed that a tick salivary protein named sialostatin L2 (SL2) mitigates caspase 1-mediated inflammation upon Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection. Here we are performing next-generation sequencing to determine the global effect of SL2 upon A. phagocytophilum infection of macrophages. BMDMs were treated by 4 different conditions (including non-treated, treated by SL2, treated by Anaplasma, and by Anaplasma and SL2, each treatment was performed in triplicate) followed by the extraction of total RNA and deep sequencing by Illumina
