Project description:We have shown that pre-incubation with Bifidobacterium bifidum (B. bifidum) strain BF-1, a probiotic strain known to improve H. pylori-associated gastritis, suppresses the induction of IL-8 by the pathogen. To investigate how BF-1 affects gene expression in H. pylori-infected cells, we performed microarray analysis to assess gene expression in epithelial cells, which had been pre-incubated with BF-1 and infected with H. pylori.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010. We used microarrays to investigate gene expression in intestinal epithelial cells in response to Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010, in particular genes involved in mucin pathways.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010. We used microarrays to investigate gene expression in intestinal epithelial cells in response to Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010, in particular genes involved in mucin pathways. Caco-2 cells were grown in transwell plates to 4 days post-confluence. Cells were then incubated for 2h and 4h with Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010. The experiment was performed in duplicate. Caco-2 RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix NuGO_Hs1a52018 arrays.
Project description:We studied the global transcription profiling of mouse upon colonization with Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010 by using DNA microarrays.
