Project description:Purpose: Determine the mechanism of particulate matter-induced signaling in melanocytes. Method: Primary human epidermal melanocytes were treated with particulate matter (5 μg/cm2) and incubated for 24 h. Total RNA (1 ug) from melanocytes were extracted and subjected to library synthesis. Results: Particulate matter-treated melanocytes exhibited upregulation of ER stress, unfolded protein response, and melanogenesis-related molecules. Conclusion: Particulate matter-induced melanocyte signaling was well evaluated using RNA sequencing.
Project description:Purpose: Determine the mechanism of H2O2-induced signaling in melanocytes. Method: Primary human epidermal melanocytes were treated with H2O2 (200 μM) and incubated for 24 h. Total RNA (500 ng) from melanocytes were extracted and subjected to library synthesis. Results: H2O2-treated melanocytes exhibited upregulation of cell death and type 1 interferon-related genes. Conclusion: H2O2-induced melanocyte signaling was well evaluated using RNA sequencing.
Project description:Purpose: Determine the mechanism of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)-induced signaling in melanocytes. Method: Primary human epidermal melanocytes were treated with HMGB1 (1 μg/ml) and incubated for 24 h. Total RNA (500 ng) from melanocytes were extracted and subjected to library synthesis. Results: HMGB1-treated melanocytes exhibited upregulation of cell death and type 1 interferon-related genes. Conclusion: HMGB1-induced melanocyte signaling was well evaluated using RNA sequencing.
Project description:Here we used next generation sequencing (NGS), to determine the transcriptional profile of blood cells exposed to particulate matter to contribute to the clarification of the importance of deregulated molecules in the molecular pathways involved in the inflammation. For this, blood cells from six adult healthy donors were treated with particulate matter.
Project description:To investigate the effect of MelasolvTM, we established human epidermal melanocytes cell lines in which MelasolvTM was treated for 1day. We then performed comparative gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of untreated and MelasolvTM-treated cells.
Project description:We report the biological effect of particulate matter on ferret lung epithelial cells with different concentration 500 ug/mL and 250 ug/mL. Treatment time is 48 h.
Project description:RNA-sequencing demonstrated Acod1 (Aconitate decarboxylase 1) as one of the top genes induced by air polution particulate matter (PM) in macrophages. We therefore sought to determine the effect of both exogenous itaconate (4-octyl itaconate) and endogenous itaconate on PM-induced inflammation in macrophages through RNA sequencing.
