Project description:We examined the transcriptional changes in mouse lungs induced by house dust mite (HDM), D.f. extract and the isolated RNA was utilized for RNA-seq analysis. Our results demonstrated that HDM strongly triggered an inflammatory response.
Project description:Investigation of the gene expression changes associated with TLR2 adjuvant (lipoteichoic acid; LTA) inhibition of allergic TH2 responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures (derived from house dust mite allergic individuals) stimulated with house dust mite extract.
Project description:Using mouse lung resident conventional CD11b+ dendritic cells (CD11b+ cDCs) in the context of house-dust mite (HDM)-driven allergic airway sensitization as a model, we aimed here to identify transcriptional events regulating the pro-Th2 activity of cDCs. We used microarray analyses to identify genes differentially expressed by lung CD11b+ conventional dendritic cells in response to house dust mite allergens in wild-type and Irf3-deficient mice
Project description:The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is a multi-ligand receptor that mediates pleiotropic biological processes, such as brain development. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from lungs from mice that had been challenged with house dust mite to induce experimental asthma or saline, as a control. These data are used to obtain genes that are differentially expressed in response to VLDLR signaling. We compared wild type and VLDLR knock out mice that had been sensitized and challenged with house dust mite or saline, as a control. There were total 16 samples with four biological relicates in each group.
Project description:Investigation of the gene expression changes associated with TLR2 adjuvant (lipoteichoic acid; LTA) inhibition of allergic TH2 responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures (derived from house dust mite allergic individuals) stimulated with house dust mite extract. Pooled samples from 5 individuals were analysed by microarray; qPCR validation was carried out in a larger cohort of 23 individuals.
Project description:We clarified MD-2 might have a protective role in house dust mite(HDM)-induced asthmatic characteristics. The purpose of RNA-Seq analysis is to identify transcriptional events regulated by MD-2 in HDM-stimulated airway epithelial cells.
Project description:Alteration in the gene expression level in the lungs are thought to play a crucial role during the development of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness. House dust mite induced allergic asthma is a Th2-lymphocyte driven inflammation characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and eosinophilia while c-di-GMP, which is a potent mucosal adjuvant, induces a Th1-Th17 response accompanied by neutrophilia along with a low Th2 response. We aimed to identify changes in the expression of genes important in asthma pathology via targeted gene expression arrays.
Project description:Response to allergen was studied in bronchial epithelial cell line H292. Cells were cultured and subsequently exposed to House dust mite or vessel (saline); Microarray data was analysed using bioinformatics and biostastics. We find a strong response to allergen in epithelial cells Experiment Overall Design: Bronchial epithelial cell line was cultured and stimulated with house dust mite extract or diluent alone. Both conditions were performed in triplicate
