Project description:Investigation of the gene expression changes associated with TLR2 adjuvant (lipoteichoic acid; LTA) inhibition of allergic TH2 responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures (derived from house dust mite allergic individuals) stimulated with house dust mite extract.
Project description:Investigation of the gene expression changes associated with TLR2 adjuvant (lipoteichoic acid; LTA) inhibition of allergic TH2 responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures (derived from house dust mite allergic individuals) stimulated with house dust mite extract. Pooled samples from 5 individuals were analysed by microarray; qPCR validation was carried out in a larger cohort of 23 individuals.
Project description:We examined the sequence information of the gel-extracted and purified RNA bands #1,#2 and #3 derived from House Dust Mite (HDM) D.p. immunogenic RNA. The individula RNA band was utilized for RNA-seq analysis.
Project description:We examined the transcriptional changes in mouse lungs induced by house dust mite (HDM), D.f. extract and the isolated RNA was utilized for RNA-seq analysis. Our results demonstrated that HDM strongly triggered an inflammatory response.
Project description:Response to allergen was studied in bronchial epithelial cell line H292. Cells were cultured and subsequently exposed to House dust mite or vessel (saline); Microarray data was analysed using bioinformatics and biostastics. We find a strong response to allergen in epithelial cells Experiment Overall Design: Bronchial epithelial cell line was cultured and stimulated with house dust mite extract or diluent alone. Both conditions were performed in triplicate
Project description:To analyze lung miRNA signatures using a house dust mite model (HDM) of asthma. microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq) from BALB/c mice (male and female, ages 6-8 weeks old) lung tissue was performed.
Project description:To analyze circulating miRNA signatures using a house dust mite model (HDM) of asthma. microRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq) was performed using serum from BALB/c mice (male and female, ages 6-8 weeks old).
Project description:We clarified MD-2 might have a protective role in house dust mite(HDM)-induced asthmatic characteristics. The purpose of RNA-Seq analysis is to identify transcriptional events regulated by MD-2 in HDM-stimulated airway epithelial cells.
Project description:Using mouse lung resident conventional CD11b+ dendritic cells (CD11b+ cDCs) in the context of house-dust mite (HDM)-driven allergic airway sensitization as a model, we aimed here to identify transcriptional events regulating the pro-Th2 activity of cDCs. We used microarray analyses to identify genes differentially expressed by lung CD11b+ conventional dendritic cells in response to house dust mite allergens in wild-type and Irf3-deficient mice
