Project description:To explore the mechanism of drug resistance, most works focused on resistance associated genetic mutations, whereas concerns for resistance related gene expression are relatively low. Here a global expression analysis was performed between a reference strain H37Rv and two clinical extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains with three anti-TB drug exposures {isoniazid (INH), capreomycin (CAP), rifampicin (RIF)}

Here a global expression analysis was performed between a reference strain H37Rv and two clinical extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains with three anti-TB drug exposures {isoniazid (INH), capreomycin (CAP), rifampicin (RIF)} Strains were grown in Middlebrook 7H9 broth supplemented with ADC, 0.05% Tween 80 and 0.2% glycerol to an OD600 of 0.5-0.6, and then respectively treated with control (water), 10×MIC INH, 1×MIC RIF and CAP for 6hr.
Project description:Extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) showed many different characteristics including the extreme drug resistance versus the drug sensitive clinical isolates (DS-TB), to know better about the reasons we used the tuberculosis host cells named as THP-1 (one kind of the macrophage cells) to be infected by the XDR-TB and DS-TB.DS strain A36 and the XDR strain B42 and was typical and selected by our lab. Then the total RNA of infected or uninfected THP-1 cells was extract and purified for the analysis by the chip (22K Human Genome chip representing the 21522 ORF of human with the oligonucleotide probe of 70 mer from CapitalBio Corp., Beijing, China). The results reflected the different expressed genes involved in apoptosis, secreted cytokines and signal pathway and so on. Those results might indicate the how the XDR-TB cause the pathogenesis.
