Project description:ChIP-seq for the insulator protein CTCF in THP-1 cells after stimulation with the the natural VDR ligand 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) THP-1 cells were treated for 24 h with 100 nM 1,25(OH)2D3 before ChIP assay
Project description:Transcriptome comparison to assess the responses of human monocytic cells (THP-1) to gold-nanoparticles (Au-NPs) of two different diameter sizes (5 or 20 nm) with different surface functional groups, i.e., alkylammonium bromide, alkyl sodium carboxylate, or poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-terminated thiolate Au-NPs.
Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonosis pathogen that causes significant economic losses worldwide characterized by meningitis, septicaemia, arthritis, bronchopneumonia endocarditis. Streptcoccus suis 2 strain SC19 was isolated in Sichuan province in China, during the outbreak in 2005. Septicemia is most popular symptoms for SC19 infection, and mortality is high. We used human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) infected SC19 to analysis the pathomechanism of septicemia in SS2 infection. Human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) cells were stimulated with Streptcoccus suis 2 (SS2) strain SC19. We added SS2 to THP-1 cells at a MOI of 1:1 (bacteria/cells). Uninfected control cells were incubated with PBS only. After 3 hours incubation, cells were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. A total of 4 samples were challenged, and 4 samples were used as controls. 4 microarrays were used in this experiment.
Project description:In order to identify patterns of gene expression associated with biological effects in THP-1 cells induced by F3, we performed a transcriptomic analysis on the THP-1 control and F3-treated THP-1 cells by oligonucleotide microarray Experiment Overall Design: 10^7 cells/mL concentrations of THP-1 cells were seeded in 100 mm dish and incubated overnight. After that, cells were treated with F3 at a final concentration of 30 ug/mL. After incubated for 6 and 24 hours, the cell pellets were collected by centrifugation at 250g for 5 min, correspondingly. Controlled samples of un-induced cells were treated in the same way with the same amount of medium.
Project description:Transcriptional changes during early infection of macrophage-like THP-1 cell line with pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. RNAseq samples were taken at 0h (THP-1 cells growing in the RPMI medium), and after 4h, 24h and 48h post infection. Bacterial enrichment was performed to increase the amount of bacterial mRNA in the samples. Non-enriched samples were used to map THP-1 cells transcripts; enriched samples were used to map M. tuberculosis transcripts the corresponding genomes.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE32141: Expression analysis LPS stimulated THP-1 cells in four paired samples GSE32324: ChIP-seq analysis LPS stimulated THP-1 cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:Generated AZA resistant cell line (TAR) and analysis markedly different gene expression levels between THP-1 and TAR. Two condition experiment, THP-1 control vs. AZA resistant cell line.
Project description:Macrophages play a key role in both innate and adaptive immunity, but our knowledge on the changes in transcription regulation that occurs during their differentiation from monocytes is still limited. In this study, we used a meta-analysis followed by a systems biology approach for the identification of differentially expressed genes between monocytes and macrophages and possible regulators of these changes in transcription. Based on the pattern of gene expression change, transcription regulator analysis predicted a decrease in Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone 3 lysine 27 methyl transferase, activity after differentiation of monocytes into macrophages. This inhibition was validated by a significant decrease in trimethylated H3K27 during differentiation of both human primary monocytes into macrophages and the THP-1 cell line into macrophage-like cells. Overexpressing EZH2 during differentiation of monocytes and THP-1 cells obstructs cellular adhesion, thus preventing the first step in differentiation. Another facet of macrophage differentiation is the cessation of proliferation, and inhibition of EZH2 by the small molecule inhibitor GSK126 in THP-1 cells indeed impedes proliferation. This study shows an important part for epigenetic changes during monocyte differentiation. It highlights the role of EZH2 activity behind the changes needed in adhesion and proliferation mechanisms for macrophage formation. THP-1s were differentiated into macrophage like cells by PMA stimulation.
