Project description:OM-85 is a bacterial lysate used in clinical practice to reduce duration and frequency of recurrent respiratory tract infections. Whereas knowledge on its regulatory effects in vivo has substantially advanced, the mechanisms of OM-85 sensing remain inadequately addressed.The purpose of this study was to investigate the transptomic profile of human mo-DCs after ex vivo stimulation with OM-85 at determine to what extent OM-85-induced gene signature in different myeloid cell subsets is dependent on TLR2/TLR4 expression. We also aimed to compare the OM-85-triggered gene signature with the signatures induced by specific TLR2 or TLR4 agonists.
Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and is the most common form of dementia, cognitive dysfunction is a pre-AD manifestation, followed by progressive deterioration in behavior and mood, CK has good pharmacological activity, inhibit neuronal damage associated with Aβ and improve learning memory in mice through its antioxidative properties. We used microarrays to detail the regulation of brain tissue genes in cognitively impaired mice by ginsenoside CK.
Project description:OM-85 is a bacterial lysate used in clinical practice to reduce duration and frequency of recurrent respiratory tract infections. Whereas knowledge on its regulatory effects in vivo has substantially advanced, the mechanisms of OM-85 sensing remain inadequately addressed.The purpose of this study was to investigate the transptomic profile of human airway immune cells in the BAL after ex vivo stimulation with OM-85 at the single cell level and determine to what extent OM-85-induced gene signature in different myeloid cell subsets is dependent on TLR2/TLR4 expression.
Project description:Purpose: Understanding of MeJA, CK effect on regulation of gene expression patterns in Arabidopsis roots Total mRNA was extracted from 7-day-old Arabidopsis roots grown in MeJA (10uM), CK (50nM) and MeJA/CK-treated conditions. To generate cDNA libraries with TruSeq RNA library kit, 1 μg of total RNA was used. This step consisted of polyA-selected RNA extraction, RNA fragmentation, random hexamer primed reverse transcription and 100 nt paired-end sequencing by Illumina HiSeq2000. 4,403 genes satisfying |fold change|â¥2 in at least one data set were collected.
