Project description:We performed single-cell transcriptome sequencing on control and shiga toxin induced kidneys to reveal kidney injury characteristics
Project description:Intestinal tissue responses to protein synthesis inhibition by Shiga toxin are complex. Organoid models allow for an unprecedented examination of human tissue responses to a deadly Shiga toxin.
Project description:Transcriptomes of 24 clinical strains of E. coli O157:H7 that differ phylogenetically and by Shiga toxin profiles were compared after 30 min co-incubation with epithelial cells.
Project description:Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) from Escherichia coli is thought to be a main factor to casue renal dysfunction in Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infection. The renal dysfunction caused by the proximal tubular defects can be detected in the earlier EHEC infection. However, the precise information of gene expression from proximal tubular epithelial cells has yet to be clarified. We performed microarray experiments using Stx2-injected mouse kidney and Stx2-treated human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC), and extracted common genes that were differentially expressed.

Project description:The microarray data provided here belong to a study that describes two different Shiga toxin (Stx) induced models of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in mice. Although several rodent models of HUS were published, it still remains difficult to reproduce all clinical features of human HUS. Here, two different Stx2 regimes combined with volume resuscitation were tested in C57BL/6J wild type mice. Animals were euthanized because of kidney injury after 3 or 7 days respectively. Kidneys were removed for histological evaluation and RNA extraction. Kidney injury was confirmed histologically and by laboratory parameters in plasma. Data for the respective vehicle treated groups are also provided here.
