Project description:We set out to test the hypothesis that formaldehyde inhalation exposure significantly alters miRNA expression profiles within the nasal epithelium of nonhuman primates. Here, cynomolgus macaques were exposed to 0, 2, and 6 ppm formaldehyde for 6 hours/day across two consecutive days. RNA was extracted from the nasal maxilloturbinate region, a direct target of formaldehyde inhalation exposure. Genome-wide miRNA expression levels were assessed using microarrays. Cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) were exposed to 0, 2 and 6 ppm formaldehyde for 6 hours/day across two consecutive days using whole body exposure chambers. RNA was extracted from the nasal maxilloturbinate region, a direct target of formaldehyde inhalation exposure. Genome-wide miRNA expression levels were assessed using microarrays.

Project description:Infinium 450K is a hybridization array designed for the human genome, but the relative conservation between the macaque and human genomes makes its use in macaques feasible. We used the Infinium450K array to assay twelve Cynomolgus macaque muscle biopsies and compared it to Reduced Representation Bisulphite Sequencing (RRBS) data generated on the same samples. Muscle biopsies were performed on eleven adult male cynomologus macaques

Project description:Microarray analysis of PBMC from cynomolgus macaques collected longitudinally over the course of infection with Lassa-Josiah, Lassa-Z132, Lassa-SorombaR, or Lujo viruses (n=3 animals/infection condition).
