The endospores of Bacillus anthracis are the infectious particles of anthrax. Spores are dormant bacterial morphotypes able to withstand harsh environments for decades, which contributes to their ability to be formulated and dispersed as a biological weapon. We monitored gene expression in B. anthracis during growth and sporulation using full genome DNA microarrays and matched the results against a comprehensive analysis of the mature anthrax spore proteome. A large portion (approximately 36%) o ...[more]

Project description:The daily cycle of night and day affects the behaviour and physiology of almost all living things. At the molecular level, many genes show daily changes in expression levels. To determine whether changes in transcript abundance occur in wood forming tissues of Eucalyptus trees we used a cDNA microarray to examine gene expression levels at roughly four hour intervals throughout the day. Experiments were performed using RNA extracted from two biological replicates - GU (Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla) and GC (Eucalyptus grandis x camaldulensis) trees. A loop design was used, linking six time points. A dye swap was incorporated to eliminate dye bias.

Project description:The abf1-1 mutant and wild type cells were grown at 30 degrees C in YPAD until OD600 reached 1.0-1.2. The same volume of 42 degrees C preheated YPAD was added for each flask. After 45 min incubation at 36 degrees C, cells were harvested and RNA was isolated. Four repeats of microarray results are in this series.

Project description:Because of their potent immunoregulatory capacity, dendritic cells (DCs) have been exploited as therapeutic tools to boost immune responses against tumors or pathogens, or dampen autoimmune or allergic responses. Murine bone marrow-derived DCs (BM-DCs) are the closest known equivalent of the blood monocyte-derived DCs that have been used for human therapy. Current imaging methods have proven unable to properly address the migration of injected DCs to small and deep tissues in mice and humans. This study presents the first extensive analysis of BM-DC homing to lymph nodes (and other selected tissues) after intravenous and intraperitoneal inoculation. Following intravenous delivery, DCs accumulated in the spleen, and preferentially in the pancreatic and lung-draining lymph nodes. In contrast, DCs injected intraperitoneally were found predominantly in peritoneal lymph nodes (pancreatic in particular), and in omentum-associated lymphoid tissue. This uneven distribution of BM-DCs, independent of the mouse strain and also observed within pancreatic lymph nodes, resulted in the uneven induction of an immune response in different lymphoid tissues. These data have important implications for the design of systemic cellular therapy with DCs, and in particular underlie a previously unsuspected potential for specific treatment of diseases such as autoimmune diabetes and pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Normal gene expression in pancreatic lymph nodes compared to inguinal or mesenteric lymph nodes across different strains of mice (BALB/c, FVB, NOD, NOD.B10). Lymph nodes were excised from 12 wk old female mice (5 mice per group), and total RNA was extracted for dual dye microarray analysis.

Project description:Comparison of the gene expression in the two pancreatic lymph nodes: gastric lymph node (GLN) and pancreatico-duodenal lymph node (PDLN) in NOD mice. The analysis was done in an attempt to explain the preferential homing of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells to the GLN after intravenous injection. GLN and PDLN were excised from 4 individual 12-wk old female NOD mice and RNA was extracted after tissue homogenization in Trizol for processing onto microarray (Agilent 4x44K). Each array corresponds to one single mouse, thus this study comprise 4 biological replicates.

Project description:Defects in homocysteine and folate metabolism are associated with increased risks for neural tube and congenital heart defects, cardiovascular disease and stroke, cancers, and neurodegeneration. In many but not all cases, dietary supplementation with folate significantly reduces the severity and incidence of these conditions. Common polymorphisms modulate these metabolic pathways and disease risks, but do not fully account for the particular birth defects and adult diseases that occur in at-risk individuals. To test whether other pathways contribute to disease pathogenesis, we analyzed global and pathway-specific changes in gene expression and levels of selected metabolites after depletion and repletion of dietary folate in two genetically distinct inbred strains of mice. Compared to the C57BL/6J strain, A/J showed greater homeostatic response to folate perturbation by retaining a higher serum folate level and minimizing global gene expression changes. Remarkably, folate perturbation led to systematic strain-specific differences only in the expression profile of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and translated to changes in levels of serum and liver total cholesterol. By genetically increasing serum and liver total cholesterol levels in APOE deficient mice, we modestly but significantly improved folate retention during folate depletion, suggesting an interplay between homocysteine and folate metabolism and cholesterol metabolism. Absence of measurable changes in global methylation patterns or amelioration of effects with supplementation with an alternative methyl donor suggest that dietary folate perturbations do not act through large-scale or general changes in methylation. These results suggest that homeostatic responses in cholesterol metabolism contribute to the beneficial effects of dietary folate supplementation. Keywords: time course, stress response, diet, genetic, homeostasis Six-week old female A/J and C57BL/6J mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. All mice were raised on a control diet containing four ppm folic acid (Basal Diet 5755, TestDiet) for one week before the start of studies. Selected mice were then placed on folic acid deficient diet (58C3, TestDiet) containing 1% succinylsulfathiazole, a non-absorbable antibiotic commonly used to suppress folate production by bacteria in the intestine. We had nine different treatment plans per strain with eight replicate mice per treatment. There were four folic acid depletion treatment in which mice were placed on folic acid deficient diet for 1, 2, 7, or 14 days. There were two folic acid repletion treatment in which mice were placed on folic acid deficient diet for 14 days followed by 1 day on control diet and another set of mice on 14 days of folic acid deficient diet followed by 7 days of control diet. There were three control time points in which mice were placed on the control diet for 0, 9, or 22 days. Eight biological replicate liver tissue from each treatment was pooled and total RNA from each pool and total RNA from Universal Mouse Reference RNA (Stratagene) were aminoallyl labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 in duplicate, with reversing of dyes.

Project description:The expression profile of an S. Typhimurium mutant strain unable to synthesise ppGpp (relAspoT deletions) was compared to the wild-type strain. The effect of ppGpp on virulence gene expression was studied under 4 different growth conditions that induce virulence gene expression. Keywords: genetic modification Study comprised 4 separate experiments (with 2 strains and 4 replicates for each strain per growth condition). The experiments were indirect comparisons using Salmonella genomic DNA as the comparator which also acted as the control for spot quality.
