Transcription profiling of human airway epithelial cell response to LPS and house dust mite antigen
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Allergic asthmatic, allergy only, asthma only (no allergy), and non-allergic non-asthmatic (control) subjects underwent bronchoscopy with instillation of saline, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and house dust mite antigen in separate subsegmental bronchi. Airway epithelial cells were collected four hours later (three samples per subject). RNA was extracted from these cells for microarray analysis. Experiment Overall Design: There are four main phenotypic groups: Experiment Overall Design: 1. control (no allergy or asthma) Experiment Overall Design: 2. allergy only (no asthma) Experiment Overall Design: 3. asthma only (no allergy) Experiment Overall Design: 4. allergy and asthma Experiment Overall Design: and three exposures: saline, house dust mite antigen (HDM), and LPS. Samples from the different exposures were all collected at the same time: four hours after instillation. The hybridizations were carried out in two main "batches": samples in batch 1 were processed in mid 2004, samples in batch 2 about a year later in 2005. There is a clear "batch effect": differences between expression profiles from the two batches (likely caused by technical differences between hybridization and scanning methods). This should be considered when analyzing the data.
