Project description:In an attempt to understand the mode of antiviral action of lactoferrin on SARS-CoV-2 infection, we focused on the effect of lactoferrin on uninfected cells. We decided to use a physiologically relevant cell model of iPSC derived- alveolar epithelial cells (the iAEC2). We specifically focused on antiviral pathway triggered by lactoferrin on treated cells that could explain a cell-mediated effect of lactoferrin on viral replication
Project description:The aim of this study is investigate effects of lactoferrin on human dermal fibroblasts and if sophorolipids influence effects of lactoferrin on human dermal fibroblasts.
Project description:bulk sequencing outputs of Caco2 cells after exposure to permeability modifying and permeability rescuing agents. To identify the molecular drivers for methotrexate-induced barrier dysfunction, we conducted RNA sequencing on Caco2 spheroids treated with methotrexate and lactoferrin. Given our observation that barrier function was compromised as early as 4-6 hours after exposure to methotrexate, we isolated RNA from spheroids 4-hour post-treatment to capture the transcriptional events responsible for initiating the processes.
Project description:Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding multifunctional cationic glycoprotein secreted by exocrine glands and neutrophils in mammals. In this study, we created a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury and explored the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) in acute lung injury using the RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology and transcriptome analysis.
Project description:Lactoferrin is a highly multifunctional protein. Indeed, it is involved in many physiological functions, including regulation of iron absorption and immune responses. We use microarrays to study the global genome expression of C. elegans fed with a nutraceutical product based on encapsulated lactoferrin.
Project description:Several epidemiological pieces of evidence on air pollution health effects have notably accelerated in recent years. They have described the relationship between PM2.5 (ambient fine particulate matter of <2.5 μm in diameter) and kidney diseases. Previous research has shown that lactoferrin showed renoprotective effects against some kidney diseases. In the current study, we analyzed the transcriptional profiles of PM2.5 and lactoferrin using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and identified the key signaling pathway in the human kidney proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2 cells).
Project description:Our phenotypic data suggest that lactoferrin knockdown reduces satellite cell proliferative capacity. The mouse muscle tissue was digested with collagenase, and satellite cells were obtained by flow sorting. We performed transcriptome analysis of wt and lactoferrin knockout cells grown for 4 days in vitro.
Project description:The purpose of this research study is to determine if using a lactoferrin supplement will improve taste perception. Lactoferrin is a type of protein that is naturally produced in the body and is commonly found in saliva.
Project description:The iron-binding glycoprotein lactoferrin exhibits anti-bacterial activity. To investigate the overall response of Bacillus cereus to lactoferrin, total transcriptome analyses were performed. Growth conditions were mMOD minimal medium, minimal medium plus 10 mg/ml lactoferrin, as well as minimal medium without iron source for comparison. Differential regulation of genes involved in iron acquisition as well as genes encoding enterotoxins and further virulence factors was of special interest.
