Project description:Young adult N2 Caenorhabditis elegans were infected with Enterococcus faecalis or Enterococcus faecium for 8 h to determine the transcriptional host response to each enterococcal species. Analysis of differential gene expression in C. elegans young adults exposed to four different bacteria: heat-killed Escherichia coli strain OP50 (control), wild-type E. faecalis MMH594, wild-type E. faecium E007, or Bacillus subtilis PY79 (sigF::kan). Samples were analyzed at 8 hours after exposure to the different bacteria. These studies identified C. elegans genes induced by pathogen infection. Brain-heart infusion agar plates (10 ug/ml kanamycin) were used.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of C. elegans young adult worms cultured on non-pathogenic Bacillus strain 67 versus versus age-matched worms cultured on the control lab food E. coli OP50. The goal was to identify genes regulated in response to differences in diet, which might confer immunity to later exposures to pathogenic Bacillus thuringiensis DB27. One-condition experiment. C. elegans young adults, cultured on : Bacillus strain 67 versus E. coli OP50. 4 biological replicates, including 2 dye-swaps.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE36413 : C. elegans young adults : Exposed to Bacillus thuringiensis DB27 vs. E. coli OP50 exposure; 4hours GSE36493: C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Staphylococcus aureus versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours GSE36499: C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Serratia marcescens versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours GSE36501: C. elegans young adults: Exposed to Xenorhabdus nematophila versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours GSE36517: P. pacificus young adults: Exposed to Bacillus thuringiensis DB27 versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours GSE36519: P. pacificus young adults: Exposed to Staphylococcus aureus versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours GSE36521: P. pacificus young adults: Exposed to Serratia marcescens versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours GSE36523: P. pacificus young adults: Exposed to Xenorhabdus nematophila versus exposed to E. coli OP50 : 4 hours Refer to individual Series
Project description:Young adult fer-15;fem-1 Caenorhabditis elegans were infected with Staphylococcus aureus for 8 h to determine the transcriptional host response to Staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of differential gene expression in C. elegans young adults exposed to two different bacteria: E. coli strain OP50 (control), wild-type Staphylococcus aureus RN6390. Samples were analyzed at 8 hours after exposure to the different bacteria. These studies identified C. elegans genes induced by pathogen infection. Keywords: response to pathogen infection, innate immunity, host-pathogen interactions
Project description:N2 young adult animals were analyzed four hours after exposure to wild-type Candida albicans DAY185, heat-killed C. albicans DAY185 and heat-killed Escherichia coli OP50, all on Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) agar. It was necessary to use heat-killed E. coli OP50 as a control for these experiments because live E. coli OP50 (the normal nematode food source) is pathogenic to nematodes on BHI agar. These data identify the C. elegans genes that are differentially regulated during nematode infection with a human fungal pathogen.
