Illumina microarray experiment on BEAS-2B cells. Cells were seeded 24 h before TNF-a/IL-4 (50 ng/ml) treatment that lasted for 18 h. Cytoplasmic RNA of both normal and activated BEAS-2B cells were collected for microarray. Cells were seeded 24 h before TNF-a/IL-4 (50 ng/ml) treatment that lasted f...
BEAS-2B cells have been treated with low doses (20 ug/ml) of CSC for 4 months. As negative control BEAS-2B cells were treated with DMSO (the CSC solvent). Non-treated cells were cultivated in parallel. Experiment Overall Design: After each month total RNA was extracted from three replicates of CSC, ...
Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (1 µg/mL) of Ag nanoparticles (10 nm citrate coated). At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for RNA-Seq analysis (Hiseq2500). The overall goal of this experiment was to gain an in-depth under...
Electronic cigarettes (e‑cigarettes) generate aerosols by heating e‑liquids composed of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine, and flavoring agents. Although considered safer than conventional cigarettes, thermal decomposition of e‑liquids produces reactive carbonyls such as formaldehyde an...
Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (0.5 µg/mL) of Ni and NiO nanoparticles and NiCl2. At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for RNA-Seq analysis (Hiseq2500). The overall goal of this experiment was to gain an in-depth understa...
Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (1 µg/mL) of Ag nanoparticles (10 nm citrate-coated). At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for DNA methylation analysis (Illumina 450k). The overall goal of this experiment was to evaluate p...
