Project description:Investigation of gene expression level changes in Salmonella Typhiumurium SL1344 (R27) compared to the wild-type SL1344 strain when grown at different growth temperatures and growth phases. A 24 microarray study was performed using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of SL1344 and three separate cultures of SL1344 (R27) grown to exponential and stationary phase at 25oC and 37oC. Each microarray measured the expression level of 4,527 genes from Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 chromosome, 103 genes from plasmid pSLT, 100 genes from plasmid pRSF, 14 genes from plasmid pCOL1B and 207 genes from plasmid R27. Seven probes were present per transcript, with two-fold technical redundancy.

(2007) Phosphate-dependent modulation of c-di-GMP levels regulates Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 biofilm formation by controlling secretion of the adhesin LapA. Mol. Microbiol. 63(3): 656-679 A four chip study using total RNA recovered from two independent wild-type cultures of wild type strain Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 and two independent cultures of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 delta pst mutant (deletion of the pstSCAB operon). Each chip measures the expression level of 5733 open reading frames (ORFs) genes from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 (Refseq: NC_007492) with twenty 60-mer postive match (PM) probes per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 treated with an anti-adhesive extract from Myrothamnus flabellifolia compared to the untreated strain. Aim: Identification of anti-adhesive plant extracts against cell surface binding of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Materials and Methods: Polyphenol-enriched extract from Myrothamnus flabellifolia (MF) traditionally used for periodontitis was tested for inhibition of P. gingivalis adhesion to KB cells by FACS, for influence on gingipain activity, hemagglutination and by microarray analysis for effects on the bacterial transcriptome. P. gingivalis-induced inflammation parameters were monitored by RT-PCR. Results: MF (100 µg/ml) reduced P. gingivalis adhesion/invasion about 50% by interacting with fimbriae and bacterial OMPs. Microarray analysis of MF-treated bacteria indicated up-regulation of genes involved in cell adhesion. As confirmed by RT-PCR, fimbrillin- and Arg-gingipain-encoding genes were upregulated by MF. On the protein level, inhibition (70%) of Arg-gingipain activity was observed, while the corresponding Lys-gingipain was hardly influenced. MF also inhibited hemagglutination. While exposure to P. gingivalis resulted in an increased expression of inflammation-related genes in KB cells, pretreatment of KB cells with MF evoked cytoprotective effects concerning IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNFα gene expression as well as IL-6 release rates. Conclusions: While being cytoprotective, MF exerts strong anti-adhesive effects against P. gingivalis. Thus, MF may be useful for the prevention of P. gingivalis-associated periodontal diseases. The chip study used total RNA recovered from two separate MF-treated and two separate untreated Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277 cultures. Each chip measured the expression level of 1,842 genes from P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 with thirteen 60-mer probes per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
