Project description:<p>Participants were recruited through the Ghana Prostate Study-a population-based component, and a clinical component. The population-based component was a probability sample designed using the 2000 Ghana Population and Housing Census data in an attempt to recruit approximately 1,000 men aged 50-74 years in the Greater Accra region (~3 million people), which successfully recruited 1,037 healthy men between 2004 and 2006 with a response percentage of 98.8 %. Consented individuals underwent an in-person interview, and within 7 days had a digital rectal examination (DRE) and provided an overnight fasting blood sample for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, biomarker assays, and genetic analysis. Subjects who had a positive screen by PSA (>2.5 ng/ml) or DRE underwent a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. A total of 73 histologically confirmed prostate cancer cases were identified through the population-based screening component of the Ghana Prostate Study and were included in the case population in the published GWAS (Cook et al., Human genetics, 2013). From the remaining 964 screen-negative individuals, 836 had at least 20 μg DNA extracted and available for analysis, and 500 of these were matched to cases for analysis by age (in 5-year categories).</p> <p>In the Ghana Prostate Study, we recruited 676 prostate cancer cases at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana, between 2008 and 2012. All consented cases were interviewed and provided an overnight fasting blood sample. At the time of selection for this analysis we had recruited 582 prostate cancer cases, from which we selected 427 for analysis. Combined with the 73 cases diagnosed through the population-based component of the study, this yielded 500 available prostate cancer cases for analysis.</p>

Project description:The intention of this study is to analyse the effect of antibiotics on the gene expression of Escherichia coli. Shaking-flask cultivations of Escherichia coli K12GFP-UTL2 were carried out with a medium containing nalidixic acid. Cultures with antibiotic-free medium, which were run in an identical way, served as reference. Samples were taken at different times during the cultivations, the RNA was isolated and hybridised on whole genome yeast microarrays. Keywords: Influence of toxins on gene expression in E. coli

Project description:An integrated genomic and proteomic analysis was undertaken to determine the physiological response of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai to steady-state conditions relevant to low temperature and water activity conditions experienced during meat carcase chilling in cold air. The response of E. coli during exponential growth at 25°C aw 0.985, 14°C aw 0.985, 25°C aw 0.967 and, 14°C aw 0.967 was compared to that of a reference culture (35°C aw 0.993).

Project description:Effect-based methods (EBM) are of growing interest in environmental monitoring programs. Few EBM have incorporated transcriptomics even though these provide a wealth of biological information and can be modeled to yield transcriptomic points of departure (tPODs). The study objectives were to: A) characterize cytotoxic effects of soil extracts on the rainbow trout RTgill-W1 and the human Caco-2 cell lines; B) measure gene expression changes and calculate tPODs; and C) compare in vitro responses to available measures of plastic-related compounds and metals. Extracts were prepared from 35 soil samples collected at the Agbogbloshie E-waste site (Accra, Ghana). Cells were exposed to six soil concentrations (0.3 to 9.4 mg dry weight of extract (eQsed)/ml). Many samples caused cytotoxicity with RTgill cells being more sensitive than Caco-2 cells. Eleven samples were analyzed for transcriptomics in both cell lines, with responses measured in all samples (52 to 5925 differentially expressed genes) even in the absence of cytotoxicity. In RTgill cells there was concordance between cytotoxic measures in tPOD values (spearman = 0.85). Though trends between in vitro measures and contaminant data were observed, more work is needed in this area before definitive conclusions are drawn. Nonetheless, this study helps support ongoing efforts in establishing alternative testing strategies (e.g., alternative to animal methods; toxicogenomics) for the assessment of complex environmental samples.
