Project description:Filarial nematodes are arthropod-borne nematodes that cause a variety of economically important diseases such as onchocerciasis (river blindness), lymphatic filariasis, and heartworm disease. The most widespread filarial disease of humans is lymphatic filariasis, caused by worms in the genera Wuchereria and Brugia. Lymphatic filariasis is an economic and social burden in endemic countries and affects approximately 119 million people worldwide (Michael, 1997). In humans, the worms live in and block the lymph vessels, causing improper flow of lymph, and inflammation of the lymphatic system. The symptoms are fever, swollen limbs and genitals, generalized malaise, and can progress to a debilitating condition known as elephantiasis This research focuses on the transmission of these worms to the disseminating mosquito host, and it is based on the interesting observation that mf must be at least 7 days old to successfully infect the mosquito (de Hollanda, 1982). Newborn mf that have not â??maturedâ?? cannot successfully penetrate the midgut of the mosquito, and subsequently cannot develop to the L3 stage (Fuhrman, 1987). Previous work done by another group 20 years ago suggests that the molecular makeup of the worm surface changes during this maturation process (Furman, 1983 a and b). We used microarray analysis to characterize changes in gene expression that take place during the mf maturation process. Understanding the gene expression changes that occur as the mf mature will allow us to understand the nature of the philological transition that allows mf to move from the human to the mosquito host. With this information in hand, we can eventually identify parasite molecules that could be targeted to either stop parasite reproduction or prevent transmission of the mf to the mosquito. This would stop parasite transmission in endemic areas. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE14939: Brugia pahangi mature vs immature microfilariae GSE14940: Brugia malayi mature vs immature microfilariae Refer to individual Series

Three biological replicates were performed each with two technical replicates

Project description:Transcriptome changes were measured in S. pyogenes strain HSC5 in response to glucose availability, taking samples from the wild type strain (HSC5) grown in carbohydrate poor medium (C medium) versus this same medium with 1% (w/v) Glucose added. Furthermore, the effects of deletion of glucose responsive regulators CcpA and LacD.1 were measured by using isogenic mutants in these genes (Delta CcpA and Delta LacD.1 respectively) compared to the wild type parent strain (HSC5), both grown in C medium with 1% glucose. Experiments were carried out using two biological replicates for each variable tested (ie two independent RNA samples gathered on separate days), and dye exchange experiments for each RNA sample tested were carried out.

Project description:Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan, is the causative agent of Chagas’ disease, a chronic and potentially fatal disease that causes irreversible damage to heart and digestive tract in humans. Like all trypanosomes, the protein coding genes of T. cruzi are arranged into large polycistronic gene clusters transcribed by polymerase II (Pol II). Therefore, trypanosomes presumably rely on post-transcriptional process to regulate gene expression. Pol II promoters have not been identified and there is no evidence for regulated gene expression at the transcriptional level. However, the presence of the hyper-modified DNA base J, Beta-D-glucosyl hydroxymethyluracil, at regions flanking the polycistronic units (PTU) in T. brucei suggested its involvement in regulating Pol II transcription. We now demonstrate that base J is localized at PTU flanking regions in T. cruzi and levels are differentially regulated by the thymidine hydroxylases, JBP1 and JBP2, involved in J biosynthesis. Microarray analysis of the JBP1dKO and JBP2dKO indicate the up and down regulation of several hundred genes distributed throughout the genome. We show a large increase in Pol II transcription rate following the decrease in base J at the PTU flanks. Changes in gene expression include virulence genes and parasites are defective in host cell invasion and egress. There is a direct correlation between the reduction in base J levels, number of genes affected and strength of the virulence phenotype. These studies indicate that base J represents an epigenetic factor regulating Pol II transcription initiation in kinetoplastids and provides a biological role of the only hyper-modified DNA base in eukaryotes. J1 and J2 null mutant trypomastigotes were each compared to wild type trypomastigotes. There were 3 biological replicates for each comparison.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Salmonella enterica sv Typhimurium under NO stress and comparison of profiles between wild type and lpdA mutant cultures. We investigated the bacteriostatic nature of NO·. S. Typhmurium 14028s is prototrophic for all amino acids but cannot synthesize Methionine or Lysine during nitrosative stress. This MK auxotrophy results from reduced availability of succinyl-CoA, a consequence of NO· targeting lipoamide-dependent LpdA activity. LpdA is an essential component of the pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes. Additional effects of NO· on gene regulation prevent compensatory pathways of succinyl-CoA production. By microarray analysis, more than 50% of the transcriptional response of S. Typhimurium to nitrosative stress is attributable to LpdA inhibition. Two separate two-condition experiment: NO treated versus untreated, wild type versus lpdA mutant. Three biological replicates. Dye swaps performed on two of these.

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify porcine genes which expression was affected by experimental infection with A. pleuropneumoniae within 24 hours after experimental challenge. Microarray experiments were conducted to reveal genes being significantly differentially expressed in infected versus non-infected lung tissue and in liver and lung lymph node tissue from three challenged versus two non-challenged animals. Keywords: Host response Three comparisons were done: - infected versus non-infected lung tissue sampled from three challenged pigs - liver tissue from three challenged versus two non-challenged animals - lung lymph node tissue from three challenged versus two non-challenged animals All experiments were conducted as common reference design.
