Project description:Using RNA-seq, we report here that anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) induces immunosuppression in human lung epithelial cell line A549 and monocytic cell line U937.
Project description:We performed 4C analysis of the immunity-related FCGR2A gene promoter in the U937 monocytic cell line, using cells in resting conditions. The FCGR2A transcription start site was used as bait.
Project description:miRNA microarray expression analysis of human acute myeloid leukemia cell line (U937) after HDAC2 genetically and enzymatically defection
Project description:DNA methylation profiling of gene promoters in the human myeloid cell line U937. Bisulphite converted DNA from wildtype U937 cells was hybridised to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip to determine the methylation pattern of the U937 cell line.
Project description:Gene-expression changes in U937 cells undergoing monocytic differentiation with TPA treatment Keywords: differentiation treatment The promonocytic U937 cell line was maintained at 37C in RPMI 1640 medium (Mediatech) supplemented with 10% fetalclone (HyClone) under a 5% CO2, 95% air atmosphere. U937 cells were differentiated by the addition to the growth medium 100 nM 12-O-tetradeconoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA) (Sigma).Three condition experiment, treated with TPA for two different time points (27 and 96 hrs) vs. untreated. Biological replicates: independently grown, treated and harvested
Project description:A possible functional role of VCP/p97 during differentiation of U937 cells was addressed by siRNA-targeting of VCP/p97. Functional changes in VCP-siRNA-transfected cells following phorbol ester-induced monocytic differentiation have been examind by DNA microarray analysis. Cells transfected with the non-targeting AllStars negative siRNA (Qiagen) served as a reference. Keywords: cellular modification design
Project description:U1 monocytic cell line was cloned from U937 cells that survived an infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV-1 and bear integration sites, serving as one of the most studied HIV latent models. Under the hypothesis that the hyperdopaminergic environment of the brain of substance users affects HIV-infected cells and latency, we tested the effects of Dopamine and two dopamine receptors that were identified as able to signal changes ininnate immune cells, DRD1 and DRD4.
