Untargeted fecal metabolomics using UHPLC-MS/MS to analyze microbiota-dependent metabolic changes in C57BL/6 mice exposed to 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) with/without antibiotic-mediated gut microbiota depletion. Key pathways include tryptophan and nicotinamide metabolism linked to intestinal barrier fu...
Comprehensively compare the transcriptional difference in PPD stimulated PBMCs from individuals with different tuberculosis infectious status: tuberculosis patients, latent infectious individuals and healthy controls using the microarray analysis. Two-condition experiment, PBMCs vs. PPD-PBMCs. 12 in...
The study investigates the effects of 6PPDQ on male fertility in adult mice. The findings of this study are essential as the effects of low-dose environmental factors of 6PPDQ on adult male infertility are unclear, with the increasing in male infertility. The results suggest that 6PPDQ adversely ...
The timing of reproductive development determines spike architecture and thus yield in temperate grasses such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Reproductive development in barley is controlled by the photoperiod response gene Ppd-H1 which accelerates flowering time under long-day (LD) conditions. A na...
This experiment explored the transcriptional response of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from BCG-vaccinated individuals following 6 days of in vitro stimulation with 2x10^5 cfu of different Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) strains or 100 ng/ml Mycobacterium tuberculosis-deriv...
This experiment explored in vitro responses of monocytes following in vitro stimulation with purified protein derivative (PPD) for 4 hours. Monocytes were collected both from individuals with active tuberculosis (TB) disease, as well as those with latent TB infection.
