ABSTRACT: EMG produced TPA metagenomics assembly of PRJEB11511 data set (Assembly of a 5300-year-old Helicobacter pylori genome from the intestine content of the tyrollean glacier mummy).
Project description:Helicobacter pylori strains USU101 was infected into macaques, some of which were treated with the dietary carcinogen ENNG. After 5 years, H. pylori isolates were obtained by endoscopy followed by culture. The resulting strains were analyzed for differences in gene content by array CGH.
Project description:The monkey infecting Helicobacter pylori strain USU101 used in a long term infection of macaques with and without the dietary carcinogen ENNG was analyzed for gene content compared to the sequenced strains 26695 and J99
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human pathogen that infects almost half of the world’s population. Infection with H. pylori is frequently associated with chronic gastritis and can even lead to gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Although the persistent colonization of H. pylori and the development of H. pylori-associated gastritis remain poorly understood, it is believed that, in gastric mucosa, the modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) by H. pylori are key contributors. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in Helicobacter pylori infected-gastric epithelial cell line AGS cells and identified up-regulated genes induced by Helicobacter pylori infection.
Project description:Antibiotic resistance is one of the major threats to human health. Combination of antibiotics with metals is among the proposed alternative treatments. However, so far only one such combination with the metal bismuth successfully used in clinics against Helicobacter pylori. This bacterial pathogen colonizes the human stomach potentially resulting in gastric cancer that causes 800,000 deaths every year. The effect of bismuth on H. pylori is not understood, for sub-lethal doses, such as those present in the plasma of treated patients. We addressed this question and observed that bismuth induces the formation of homogeneous membrane vesicles (MVs) with unique protein cargo content enriched in bismuth-binding proteins. To our surprise, MVs concentrate bismuth, unlike bacterial cells from which they originate. Our results revealed a novel function of MVs in metal detoxification where bismuth is accumulated to discard it from bacteria. Polyphosphate granules (poly-P) formed upon bismuth exposure are associated with changes in nucleoid structure and cell segregation. Thus, even low doses of bismuth induce profound changes in H. pylori physiology and highlight novel defense mechanisms employed by bacteria against bismuth toxicity.
Project description:The monkey infecting Helicobacter pylori strain USU101 used in a long term infection of macaques with and without the dietary carcinogen ENNG was analyzed for gene content compared to the sequenced strains 26695 and J99 We performed array CGH using two microarrays to analyze the gene content of the starting strain (USU101) used for the monkey infection experiment (GSE60405). The ENNG information is not relevant.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE25146: Changes in gene expression in AGS cells in response to Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide GSE25147: Changes in gene expression in MKN45 cells in response to Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide GSE25148: Changes in gene expression in HEK-TLR2 cells in response to Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide Refer to individual Series
Project description:Helicobacter pylori strains USU101 was infected into macaques, some of which were treated with the dietary carcinogen ENNG. After 5 years, H. pylori isolates were obtained by endoscopy followed by culture. The resulting strains were analyzed for differences in gene content by array CGH. Array CGH was performed by two color microarray. The monkey output strains were labeled with Cy5 (channel 2) and the input strain USU101 was labeled with Cy3 (channel 1). Each output strain was analyzed by 2-3 separate array experiments.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is an important factor in the occurrence of human gastric diseases, but its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent reversible methylation modification in mammalian RNA and it plays a crucial role in controlling many biological processes. We used MeRIP-seq technology to sequence the GES-1 cells infected with Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) for 48 h.
