Project description:The objective of this study was to determine binding patterns for GR, 65 and RNAP2 in Beas-2B airway epithelial cells after treatment with dexamethasone (100 nm), TNF (20 ng/ml) or both for one hour. This study utilized duplicate samples for each treatment condition and immunoprecipitation except for p65 immunoprcipitation of TNF treated samples, which was analyzed as a single sample. Input from vehicle treated cells was used a control. Experimental comparisons were made between the following samples/ treatment conditions. Duplicate samples of Beas-2B cells treated with ethanol (vehicle) were used for ChIP of GR, p65, and RNAP2 (2 samples each antibody). Duplicate samples of Beas-2B cells treated with dexamethasone were used for ChIP of GR and RNAP2 (2 samples each antibody). Duplicate samples of Beas-2B cells treated with TNF were used for ChIP of p65 and RNAP2 (1 sample p65, 2 samples RNAP2). Duplicate samples of Beas-2B cells treated with dexamethasone + TNF were used for ChIP of GR, p65 and RNAP2 (2 samples each antibody).
Project description:Illumina microarray experiment on BEAS-2B cells. Cells were seeded 24 h before TNF-a/IL-4 (50 ng/ml) treatment that lasted for 18 h. Cytoplasmic RNA of both normal and activated BEAS-2B cells were collected for microarray. Cells were seeded 24 h before TNF-a/IL-4 (50 ng/ml) treatment that lasted for 18 h. Biological triplicate control and IL4/TNf samples.
Project description:Transcriptonal profiling of BEAS-2B cells: Control versus skin sensitizers; Control versus respiratory sensitizers; Control versus non-sensitizing irritants Replicates: 3 biological replicates; Exposure: 10 different chemicals versus solvent, 1 exposure concentration (IC20); Exposure time: 3 different exposure time points;

Project description:Airway smooth muscle cells were stimulated with conditioned medium from BEAS-2B cells in the absence (Control) or Inhibition of miR-210.
Project description:The aim of the present study was to characterize a common and unique signalling pathways associated to two seasonal particulate matter (PM) (winter PM2.5 and summer PM10) in human bronchial BEAS-2B cells by mean of a global transcriptomic profiling (including genes and miRNA) and the investigation of selected pathways at protein level.

Project description:GS-5759 is a bifunctional ligand composed of a quinolinone-containing pharmacophore found in several β2-adrenoceptor agonists linked covalently to a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor (PDE4) related to GSK 256066 by a pent-1-yn-1-ylbenzene spacer. The object of the study was to detemine if gene expression changes induced by GS-5759 were replicated by a β2-adrenoceptor agonist (indacaterol; Ind) and a PDE4 inhibitor (GSK 256066; GSK) in combination. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA from BEAS-2B cells treated with GS-5759 and a combination of indacaterol and GSK 256066 to identify differentialy expressed genes. Confluent BEAS-2B cells were treated with vehicle, Ind/GSK or GS-5759 for 1h, 2h, 6h or 18h. Total RNA was extracted, quantified (NanoDrop 2000) and the quality of each sample determined by using the Agilent 2100 Lab-on-a-Chip system before being processed for gene expression chnages by Expression Analysis Inc (Dunham, NC, USA).
Project description:In the present study, we discovered an unexpected interplay between immunometabolism and antiviral immunity. Profiling of human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells was performed using Agilent’s SurePrint G3 human gene expression microarray kit. A single-color design provided two types of comparison: (i) IAV-infected versus mock-infected cells, and (ii) succinate-treated infected cells versus mock-infected cells.
Project description:Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (1 µg/mL) of Ag nanoparticles (10 nm citrate-coated). At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for DNA methylation analysis (Illumina 450k). The overall goal of this experiment was to evaluate potential epigenetic changes associated with low-dose, long-term exposure to Ag nanoparticles.
