Project description:Gene expression data on wild-type and Rora mutant mice exposed to room air and smoke. The results provide a general insight into the relationship of Rora to known DNA damage response pathways and its role in cigarette smoke-induced airspace enlargement.
Project description:Gene expression data on wild-type and Rora mutant mice exposed to room air and smoke. The results provide a general insight into the relationship of Rora to known DNA damage response pathways and its role in cigarette smoke-induced airspace enlargement. This dataset includes 4 wild-type mice exposed to room air, 4 wild-type mice exposed to cigarette smoke and 4 Rora mutant mice exposed to cigarette smoke.
Project description:Cell cultures from three human non-smoker donors were exposed 1:50 dose (1.84ug/cm2) of diluted mainstream cigarette smoke or filtered air for 1h. Cells from four replicate inserts for each dose/time-point were pooled and placed in TRIzol either immediately after exposure or following a 5h or 23h recovery period after the cultures were returned to an incubator at 37ºC, 5% CO2. The ‘no treatment’ control (NTC) remained in the incubator and received neither smoke nor air. In order to perform robust statistical analyses three independent replicate experiments were performed on each of the three donors
Project description:Healthy human subjects were exposed to wood smoke particulate matter and filtered air on separate occasions. Alveolar leukocytes (predominantly macrophages) were then obtained and analysed by microarray to assess the impact of wood smoke on transcription in the airway.
