Transcription profiling of Streptococcus mutans grown in a biofilm with or without the presence of Veillonella parvula

ABSTRACT: Streptococcus mutans was grown for 48 h in a biofilm in the absence (single species) and in the presence (dual species) of Veillonella parvula. In addition V. parvula single species 48 h biofilms were grown, to be used as a control. RNA was harvested from all types of biofilms and the transcript levels of the two types of biofilms containing S. mutans were compared with the use of S. mutans microarrays. V. parvula RNA was hybridized to S. mutans microarrays as a control for possible cross-hybridisation.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to do investigatge the transcriptional effect of anti-TNF treatment in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Two series of hybridizations were performed. Each hybridization was done with a technical replicate (the same amount of RNA taken from the same amplified RNA aliquot labeled in two separate reactions and hybridized onto two separate arrays). In the first series of hybridizations RNA exptracted from biopsies taken before treatment was hybridized in a common reference design to enable comparisons between patients. In the second series RNA from biopsies taken after and before treatment were hybridized on the same chip in a direct design to enable investigation of the effect of treatment. 10 patients (8 females and 2 males, median age 54, range 25-69) meeting the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for RA were recruited for this study. All patients received infliximab (an antibody directed against TNF-alpha) infusions 3mg/kg at week 0 and than after 2 weeks and 6 weeks. Five of these patients were receiving prednisolon and all ten patients were treated with methotrexate to a maximum of 20 mg per week. Synovial biopsies were obtained during arthroscopy from all patients before and after a median of 9 weeks of treatment (with one exception, patient 7 where the second biopsy was obtained during open surgery). Biopsies were taken at the site of inflammation close to cartilage (cc) or not close to cartilage (ncc), defined as less or more than 1.5 cm away from cartilage, respectively. One biopsy was taken before and after treatment from patient 5, 7, 9 and 10. Multiple biopsies were retrieved before and/or after treatment from patient 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. Due to small amounts of RNA available for patient 9 it was only used in the second series of hybridizations. The average biopsy weight was 22 mg. The ethical committee at the Karolinska Hospital approved all experiments on human cells and tissues. Informed consent was obtained from all study subjects.

Project description:In this study, we employ high-density oligonucleotide microarrays to characterize the MutaMouse FE1 cell line at various stages of cell growth, in primary MutaMouse lung epithelial cell cultures, and in whole lung. Global transcriptional analysis and real-time RT-PCR was applied to (1) further define the cellular origin of the FE1 cell line and its responses under different culture conditions (media and substratum), (2) provide insight into the transcriptional differences in cellular processes between FE1 cultures compared to whole lung tissues, more specifically in toxicological response, and (3) preliminarily examine FE1 culture response to exposure of benzo(a)pyrene compared to whole animals. Total RNA samples from 3 cell culture types (50% FE1, %100 FE1, and Primary lung) or MutaMouse lung were labeled with Cyanine 5-CTP, and universal reference total RNA (Stratagene, CA, USA) was labeled with Cyanine 3-CTP (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Woodbridge, ON, Canada) using Agilent linear Amplification kits (Agilent Tech. Inc. Mississauga, ON, Canada) following the manufacturer's instruction. Briefly, double-stranded cDNA was synthesized using MMLV-RT with T7 promoter primer, starting with 5 ug total RNA. Cyanine-labeled cRNA targets were in vitro transcribed using T7 RNA polymerase. The synthesized cRNA was precipitated by LiCl and fragmented at 60 degrees C for 30 min with fragmentation solution. Cy5- sample cRNA and Cy3- reference cRNA were hybridized to Agilent mouse development microarrays (containing ~20,000 unique 60 mer oligonucleotides; Agilent Tech. Inc. Mississauga, ON, Canada) at 60 degrees C overnight with Agilent hybridization solution and washed according to manufacturer's instruction. Arrays were scanned on a VersArray ChipReader (BioRad Laboratories Ltd., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada), and data were acquired with ImaGene 5.5 (BioDiscovery, Inc. CA, USA). Present calls were determined as signals that were greater than the mean plus three times the standard deviation of the average of the negative control spots.
