Project description:This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of a personalized live, attenuated, double-deleted Listeria monocytogenes (pLADD) treatment in adults with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Project description:Several Toll-like receptors are activated by Listeria monocytogenes infection, resulting in the activation of MyD88 dependent signaling pathway. However, the negative role of MyD88 in gene expresson is unclear. To address this, we performed microarray analysis of mRNAs from WT or MyD88-/- peritoneal macrophages infected with Listeria monocytogenes.
Project description:DNA damage response kinase ATM regulates the genetic program of lymphocytes with phsiologically induced DNA DSBs. In bone marrow-derived macrophages, related kinase DNAPKcs is also responsible for activating DNA damage responses after infection with Listeria monocytogenes. Here we show that both ATM and DNA-PKcs regulate the genetic program of Listeria monocytogenes-infected macrophages.
Project description:Transcriptional profling of a Listeria monocytogenes under nisin treatment comparing ctsR mutant and wild type one condition (nisin treament 20ug/ml, 24 hours) experiment, ctsR mutant vs. wild type Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, 2 biological replicates, 4 technical replicates
Project description:DNA damage response kinase ATM regulates the genetic program of lymphocytes with phsiologically induced DNA DSBs. In bone marrow-derived macrophages, related kinase DNAPKcs is also responsible for activating DNA damage responses after infection with Listeria monocytogenes. Here we show that both ATM and DNA-PKcs regulate the genetic program of Listeria monocytogenes-infected macrophages. Two independent bone marrow-derived macrophage cultures for each genotype (LysMcre/+ and Scid: Atmc/c: LysMcre/+) were infected with Listeria monocytogenes for 24 hrs at an MOI of 5. RNA was isolated using RNeasy (Qiagen). Gene expression profiling was performed using Illumina MouseRef-8 expression microarrays.
Project description:These studies were designed to examine the transcription of Listeria monocytogenes strains 10403S and LO28 during intracellular replication in mammalian macrophages. Duplicate WT Listeria monocytogenes (strains 10403S and LO28) were used to infect mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Bacterial RNA was harvested at 4 hours post-infection.
