Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify differently expressed genes following infection of interleukin-16-knock-out bone-marrow derived macrophages with T. whipplei. Macrophages were infected with T. whipplei (MOI 50:1) for 6 hours and a signature was identified that distinguished between infected and control samples. Expression of several genes from this signature was quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR, confirming the predicted macrophage response pattern.

Gene expression in macrophages was measured at 6 hours after stimulation Three independent experiments were performed.
Project description:Whipple's disease (WD) affects only a very small minority of individuals infected by Tropheryma whipplei (Tw). Asymptomatic and chronic carriage of the causative organism is less rare and therefore, the pathogenesis of WD is poorly understood. Here we studied transcriptome responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that were obtained from members of a large multiplex French kindred including otherwise healthy WD patients, healthy chronic carriers of Tw and other unrealted control subjects.
Project description:We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify differently expressed genes following stimulation of interleukin-16-knock-out bone-marrow derived macrophages with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Macrophages were stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml) for 6 hours and a signature was identified that distinguished between infected and control samples. Expression of several genes from this signature was quantified in the same RNA samples by real-time PCR, confirming the predicted macrophage response pattern.

Project description:To investigate the difference in bone remodeling between wild-type and Txnip knock-out mice. we extracted bone marrow from wild-type and Txnip knock-out mice and then screened them to get our interesting cells. We then used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the selected bone marrow from wild-type and Txnip knock-out mice.
