DNA methylation profiling of BEAS-2B cells exposed to low doses of Ag nanoparticles for 6 weeks
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (1 µg/mL) of Ag nanoparticles (10 nm citrate-coated). At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for DNA methylation analysis (Illumina 450k). The overall goal of this experiment was to evaluate potential epigenetic changes associated with low-dose, long-term exposure to Ag nanoparticles.
Project description:Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (1 µg/mL) of Ag nanoparticles (10 nm citrate coated). At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for RNA-Seq analysis (Hiseq2500). The overall goal of this experiment was to gain an in-depth understanding of the transcriptomic changes induced by low-dose, long-term exposure of human lung cells to Ag nanoparticles and to generate hypotheses related to their mechanisms of toxicity.
Project description:Human bronchial lung cells (BEAS-2B) were treated for 6 weeks with low doses (0.5 µg/mL) of Ni and NiO nanoparticles and NiCl2. At the end of the exposure control and treated samples were submitted for RNA-Seq analysis (Hiseq2500). The overall goal of this experiment was to gain an in-depth understanding of the transcriptomic changes induced by low-dose, long-term exposure of human lung cells to Ni and NiO nanoparticles as well as to NiCl2 and to generate hypotheses related to their mechanisms of toxicity.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE14383: Effects of chronic exposure of human bronchial epithelial cells to low doses of cigarette smoke condensate; GSE14385: Response of bronchial epithelial cells to low doses of cigarette smoke condensate and subsequent demethylation agent Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:The study seeks to identify the epigenetic changes caused by exposure of to cigarette smoke condensate. To this goal human bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B, were treated with 5-aza-2âdeoxycitidine and trychostatin A (5AzaC/TSA) subsequent to a chronic exposure (1 month) to cigarette smoke condensate (CSC). As negative control served BEAS-2B cells that were untreated or treated with CSC/DMSO for one month without the subsequent application of 5Aza/TSA. Experiment Overall Design: BEAS-2B Cells were treated for one month with CSC, DMSO, and left untreated. Subsequently half of the samples were treated with the demethylation agent. So that there were six different conditions with three biological replicates each. One sample had to be excluded because of low quality.
Project description:BEAS-2B cells have been treated with low doses (20 ug/ml) of CSC for 4 months. As negative control BEAS-2B cells were treated with DMSO (the CSC solvent). Non-treated cells were cultivated in parallel. Experiment Overall Design: After each month total RNA was extracted from three replicates of CSC, DMSO and non-treated BEAS-2B cells and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips.
Project description:Amorphous silica nanoparticles induce malignant transformation and tumorigenesis of human lung epithelial cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the cellular malignant transformation induced by amorphous silica nanoparticles and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. The human lung epithelial cells, Beas-2B were continuously exposed to 5 μg/mL amorphous silica nanoparticles for 40 passages, and named as BeasSiNPs-P40 (shortly as P40-5 during the further microarray detection). Meanwhile, the passage-matched control Beas-2B cells, named as Beas-P40 (shortly as NC during the further microarray detection).
Project description:Nanomaterials have lots of promising applications, and concern has risen about their impact to human health. Here, we have analyzed the genome-wide DNA methylation changes associated to the exposure to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in human lung epithelial cells. Six conditions were assayed, with two technical replicates per condition (12 arrays in total): control, 1 and 10 µg/mL of rGO for 15 or 30 days of exposure.
Project description:Transcriptonal profiling of BEAS-2B cells: Control versus skin sensitizers; Control versus respiratory sensitizers; Control versus non-sensitizing irritants Replicates: 3 biological replicates; Exposure: 10 different chemicals versus solvent, 1 exposure concentration (IC20); Exposure time: 3 different exposure time points;
Project description:Human BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells were exposed directly at the air-liquid interphase towards exhaust gas and particles of a ship engine. The goal was to compare the responses towards different fuel combustions. The engine run either on diesel fuel (DF) or on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). The lung cells were exposed 3 times to each combustion aerosol (DF or HFO). The duration of the exposure was 4h. The cells were seeded into transwell-inserts 24h before exposure. Within each exposure 3 transwell-inserts were exposed to the complete aerosol and 3 transwell-inserts were exposed to the filtered aerosol. Effects of the complete aerosol were referenced against the filtered aerosol to determine the effects of the aerosol particles.
Project description:The methylation data were measured from longitudinal blood samples to study the longitudinal change of methylation in association with age.
