Project description:The expression of genes like IL-6, IL-10, TNF, OSM, CXCL1 and CXCL5 were found out to be heightened in patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells compared to unstimulated cells.
Project description:Variation in individuals' responses to environmental factors is believed to influence susceptibility to complex diseases in humans. The genetic basis of such variation is poorly understood. We measured gene expression from resting and stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) derived from the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. We stimulated the primary DCs with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or influenza virus. Using serial replicate samples, we selected genes that showed evidence of reproducibility within the serial replicates. We collected peripheral blood from each human donor. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Ficoll, and magnetically sorted them for CD14+CD16- monocytes. We then differentiated the monocytes into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) by culturing the cells for 7 days with GM-CSF and IL-4. We stimulated the cells with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 5 hr or influenza (PR8 dNS1) for 10 hr. Finally, we lysed the cells and isolated total RNA for microarray.
Project description:This study aimed to identify transcription networks and signatures of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to LPS stimulation. A total of 464 genes including at least 17 transcription factors were identified to be significantly induced by LPS using a high density bovine oligonucleotide microarray. The network analysis revealed that alternation in gene expression was regulated by transcription factors through potential interaction within the pathway networks in the LPS stimulated cells. Our results demonstrated that specific pathway networks are responsible for transcription regulation in bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to pathogen components such as LPS. One class unpaired: Bovine Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from 10 BLV positive cattle are divided into 2 groups: 5 treated with PBS in vitro for 2h serve as controls. The remaining 5 samples are stimulated with LPS in vitro for 2h.
Project description:To explore the effects of IL-4 on tumor-associated macrophagess, we first sorted CD14+ monocytes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors using magnetic-activated cell sorting and then induced their differentiation into macrophages by culture with M-CSF for 5 days. We then stimulated these macrophages with or without IL-4 (20 ng/ml) for 6 hours and examined gene expression using a cDNA microarray.
Project description:IL-2 mutant (F42K) is a variant of IL-2 that binds preferentially to the lower affinity IL-2Rβγ and has minimal binding to CD25, on Tregs, effector NK and T-cell subsets. Our recent study has uncovered that in contrast to WT IL-2, F42K did not efficiently induce the expansion of highly suppressive ICOS+ Tregs in PBMC from healthy controls and melanoma patients whereas it did promote the expansion of NK cells. We used microarray to study the differences of gene profiles induced by wild-type (WT) IL-2, F42K and IL-15 when treated on freshly isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy control. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from buffy coat and were stimulated with 0.4nM WT IL-2, F42K or IL-15 for 24 hr. Total RNA was extracted from each WT IL-2, F42K and IL-15 treated PBMCs and Sense RNA was reverse-transcribed via RT reaction into DNA and labeled with biotin using Affymetrix labeling kits and hybridized on human Affymetrix microarray chip.
Project description:To explore the effects of IL-4 on tumor-associated macrophagess, we first sorted CD14+ monocytes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors using magnetic-activated cell sorting and then induced their differentiation into macrophages by culture with M-CSF for 5 days. We then stimulated these macrophages with or without IL-4 (20 ng/ml) for 6 hours and examined gene expression using a cDNA microarray. IL-4 stimulated gene expression on monocyte-derived macrophages was measured at 6 hours after exposure to doses of 20 ng/ml IL-4.
Project description:CD25 monoclonal antibody binding to the alpha-chain of the Interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor, blocks high affinity IL-2 binding thereby preventing complete T cell activation and being of ample importance in transplantation medicine and potentially the treatment of autoimmune disease. However, CD25 antibodies do not only block T cell activation but also prevent activation induced cell death (AICD) attributing a dual function to IL-2. In this study, the modulation of the genomic expression profile of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with therapeutic concentrations of humanized anti-CD25 mAb was investigated. PBMC were stimulated with CD3 antibody OKT-3 together with recombinant IL-2 in the absence or presence of anti-CD25 mAb. RNA was extracted and subjected to microarray analysis on U133A microarrays (Affymetrix). The expression profile revealed the up-regulation of 62 genes and down-regulation of 38 genes by anti-CD25 mAb, respectively. Experiment Overall Design: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stimulated for 8 or 16 hrs with 100 ng/ml OKT-3 together with 100 U/ml recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) in the absence or presence of 30 µg/ml anti-CD25 antibody. RNA from cells under such treatment was isolated with Trizol and subjected to microarray analysis onto human U133A microarray following the Affymetrix protocol.
Project description:Variation in individuals' responses to environmental factors is believed to influence susceptibility to complex diseases in humans. The genetic basis of such variation is poorly understood. We measured gene expression from resting and stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) derived from the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. We stimulated the primary DCs with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), influenza virus or the cytokine IFNβ, and associated genetic variation between individuals with the observed variation in gene expression and gene induction. We collected peripheral blood from each human donor. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Ficoll, and magnetically sorted them for CD14+CD16- monocytes. We then differentiated the monocytes into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) by culturing the cells for 7 days with GM-CSF and IL-4. We stimulated the cells with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 2.5 hr or 5 hr, influenza (PR8 dNS1) for 10 hr, or recombinant IFN-beta for 6.5 hr. Finally, we lysed the cells and ran Nanostring on the lysates.
