Project description:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.
Project description:(Objectives) The goal of this study is to investigate paracrine effect of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on colon cancer cell lines. (Method) Transcription profiles of PBMCs (control) and PBMCs co-cultured with colon cancer cell lines (treatment) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate for SW480 and duplicate for HT29, using Illumina HiSeq 4000. (Results and conclusion) Transcriptome analysis of PBMCs has shown the gene expression changed when co-cultured with colon cancer cell lines. The result revealed significantly up- and down-regulated genes.
