Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) play central roles in coordinating appropriate immune responses to pathogens. In the present study, the genes regulated by NFkB activators, RelB and cRel, in PAMP-induced bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs) activation was examined. Total RNA extracted from WT, relb-/-, crel-/-relb-/- bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were subjected to stimulation with CpG or Pam3CSK4.
Project description:To investigate dendritic cells-Leishmania interaction, the transcriptional profile of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) infected with Leishmania infantum or of cells exposed to chemically inactivated parasites was assessed
Project description:We cultured bone marrow derived dendritic cells from WT and CD11c KO mice. Then, a group of bone marrow dendritic cells were stimulated with LPS overnight. We obtained bone marrow derived dendritic cells with or without LPS stimulation and analyzed proteomics profiles.
Project description:Fibroblasts usually mediate acute wound healing and long-term tissue remodeling with scarring in tissue injury. In myocardial infarction (MI), following a prolonged lack of oxygen supply, necrotized cardiomyocytes become replaced by secreted extracellular matrix proteins produced by fibroblasts. Dendritic cells (DCs) act as inflammatory cells and can migrate from the bone marrow to the infarct areas and infarct border areas to mediate collagen accumulation after MI, whereas trichostatin A (TSA) can regulate the apoptosis and proliferation of the fibroblasts and affect DCs functions under oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions. In this study, we used proteomics to investigate the effects of TSA and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) on NIH3T3 fibroblasts under OGD conditions. Results showed that the fatty acid degradation pathway was significantly upregulated in NIH3T3 cells under OGD conditions, and the fatty acid synthesis pathway was significantly downregulated in NIH3T3 cells treated with BMDCs conditioned media with TSA (BMDCs-CM[TSA]) under OGD conditions. Meanwhile, the BMDCs-CM(TSA) significantly decreased the levels of triglycerides and free fatty acids and mediated ten fatty acid metabolism-related proteins in the NIH3T3 cells under OGD conditions. Summarily, the proteomic analysis showed that TSA and BMDCs affect fatty acid metabolism in NIH3T3 cells under OGD conditions.
