Project description:To understand the mechanism of the adaptations, global gene expression profiles of the cecropin B--resistant strains of Haemophilus parasuis, The development of cecropin B (CB) resistance in H. parasuis SH0165 by exposing SH0165 using various concentrations of CB was investigated. One colony of bacterial cultures grown on TSA containing 30μg/mL CB was named CBR30, CBR30 cultured in TSA without CB for 50 passages was named CBR30-50. we used microarray technology to analyze the variation of the H. parasuis SH0165 transcriptional profile in CBR30 and CBR30-50. Our analysis to identify several genes whose system could be involved in inorganic ion transport, amino acid transport, and metabolism. Quantitative PCR was used to validate the differential expression of selected genes.
Project description:Porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) play impoartant role in innate immunity. Haemophilus parasuis is the etiological agent of Glasser’s disease in pigs. We used microarrays to study the transcriptome of PAMs infection with Haemophilus parasuis.
Project description:Haemophilus parasuis(HPS) is a prominent swine pathogen that causes Glässer's disease characterized by fibrinous polyserositis, meningitis and arthritis; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis remains poorly understood, particularly the host counteraction to HPS invasion by the immune system. Here, we investigated the global expression changes in spleen following HPS infection using the Affymetrix Porcine Genechip.Our findings indicate previously unrecognized gene transcription changes in case of HPS infection in vivo and many presumed cascades in the study are clearly merit further investigation. Our data should provide new clues for immune response in mammals and identification of candidate genes related to HPS resistance.

One colony of bacterial cultures grown on TSA containing 30M-NM-<g/mL CB was named CBR30, CBR30 cultured in TSA without CB for 50 passages was named CBR30-50. we used microarray technology to analyze the variation of the H. parasuis SH0165 transcriptional profile in CBR30 and CBR30-50. Our analysis to identify several genes whose system could be involved in inorganic ion transport, amino acid transport, and metabolism. Quantitative PCR was used to validate the differential expression of selected genes. The H. parasuis SH0165 control group was normal culture with no tilmicosin at OD600 >0.3 (12 h). The H. parasuis CBR30 was normal culture with 30M-NM-<g/mL cecropin B at OD600 >0.3 (20 h). The H. parasuis CBR30-50 was normal culture with no cecropin B at OD600 >0.3 (12 h). Three independent experiments were performed on each group using a different sample for each experiment.
