Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra::pTetR-yidC (Test) compared with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra::pTetR (Control) bacteria after 4 days of treatment with 50ng/ml ATc with shaking at 200rpm at 37°C.
Project description:Synchronised cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb H37Ra DnaAcos115) were used to determine the cell cycle dependent gene expression. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra DnaAcos115 strain was grown in Middlebrook 7H9 broth at 30C for 30h which arrests replication and later cultures were allowed to grow at 37oC for 30h. Samples were collected at 0, 2, 6, 12,18, 24 and 30 hours. Samples at 30oC for 30h were considered as '0' time point. A total of 18 samples, consisting of triplicates for 6 time-points were analyzed using microarray.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of gyr(-) strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra comparing 20ng/ml ATc treated cells with ATc-untreated cells after 4 days of treatment with shaking at 200rpm at 37°C.
Project description:We report the application of RNA-seq technology for high-throughput profiling of gene transcription in M. tuberculosis H37Ra strains. By obtaining over four billion bases of sequence from mRNA, we generated genome-wide gene transcription maps of wild-type and mpbR-deleted Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra strains. We find that a group of genes is significantly up-regulated in the mpbR-deleted mutant strain. This finding indicates that MpbR negatively regulates gene expression.
Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis accounts for 1.5 million annual deaths worldwide. The two well-characterized strains of the parental H37 strain namely, H37Ra and H37Rv show different pathogenic phenotypes. In order to identify factors that are responsible for virulence, we compared the proteome and the phosphoproteome profiles of virulent (H37Rv) and virulence attenuated (H37Ra) strains of M. tuberculosis. Quantitative proteomic analysis resulted in the identification and quantitation of 2,709 proteins and 505 phosphosites. Comparative analysis revealed over 5-fold overexpression of several proteins associated with virulence. Our data indicates that there are definable molecular differences between H37Rv and H37Ra strains at both the proteome and phosphoproteome levels which may explain the virulence and phenotypic differences.
Project description:We report the application of RNA-seq technology for high-throughput profiling of gene transcription in RAW264.7 infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. By obtaining over six billion bases of sequence from mRNA, we generated genome-wide gene transcription maps of RAW264.7 infected with CdhM-related Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. We find that numerous genes involved in ER stress are significantly affected by CdhM. This finding indicates that CdhM may induce ER stress during Mtb infection of host cells.
Project description:Synchronised cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb H37Ra DnaAcos115) were used to determine the cell cycle dependent gene expression.
Project description:label free quantification analysis was performed on four strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis. The four strains are H37Rv, H37Ra, BND and JAL. The purpose of this study is to identify strain specific proteome expression pattern among the four strains.
Project description:Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured in presence of H37Ra strain at 37oC, 5%CO2. Cellular aggregates were collected at 24h, and RNA extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays (HG-U133). Raw data from microarray experiments was analyzed with dCHIP and SAM programs to determine the significance of changes at the biological context. PBMCs were exposed in triplicate to H37Ra strain. PBMCs from the same donor were cultured in triplicate at the same conditions than treated samples. RNA was extracted from each sample and hybridized to Affymetrix Human arrays.
