Project description:Acquisition of a new strain of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is often associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We have previously reported that COPD patients who are homozygous null for SIGLEC14 gene is less susceptible to COPD exacerbation than those who have wild-type allele with functional SIGLEC14 gene. In order to gain insight into the mechanism behind the COPD exacerbation, and to find new clues that may lead to the discovery of objective biomarker of COPD exacerbation, Siglec-14/THP-1 and Siglec-5/THP-1 cell lines, which mimic monocytes from homozygous wild-type and homozygous SIGLEC14-null person, respectively, were incubated with or without NTHi, and their gene expression profiles were compared by using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. Four samples (2 cell lines x 2 conditions) were analyzed. No replicates were made.

Project description:So far, we have found phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced ubiquitin specific peptidase (USP) 2b isoform in myeloid leukemia cell lines such as HL60, THP-1, and U937. HL60, THP-1, and U937 undergoes differentiation into macrophage-like cells after stimulation with phorbol ester. To explore molecular function of USP2 in macrophages especially during lipopolysaccharide(LPS) response, we assess expression profiles of HL60-derivatives continuously expressing shRNA for USP2 and control shRNA.

Project description:Gene expression profiles of human cell (THP-1) lines exposed to a novel Daboiatoxin (DbTx) isolated from Daboia russelli russelli, and specific cytokines and inflammatory pathways involved in acute infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Experiment Overall Design: 1. Group I:- Human monocytic macrophage (THP-1) cell lines grown in the culture medium without any bacterial infection served as untreated control group (Three Biological Replicates). Experiment Overall Design: 2. Group II:- THP-1 cells were infected with Burkholderia pseudomallei (A600 nm = OD 0.6, ~5 x 107 cfu/ml) for 24h served as a disease control group (Three Biological Replicates). Experiment Overall Design: 3. Group III:- THP-1 cells were infected with B. pseudomallei and treated with Daboiatoxin (0.5 mM) isolated from Daboia russelli russelli venom served as a treatment group (Three Biological Replicates). Experiment Overall Design: 4. Group IV:- THP-1 cells were infected with B. pseudomallei (A600 nm = OD 0.6, ~5 x 107 cfu/ml) treated with standard antimicrobial drug ceftazidime (10mg/ml) served as a drug control (Three Biological Replicates). Experiment Overall Design: 5. Group V:- THP-1 cells were exposed to Daboiatoxin (0.5 mM) without bacterial infection (Three Biological Replicates).
Project description:In this study, by using two classical macrophage cell models, RAW264.7 cell line from mouse and THP-1 cell line from human, combined with the applications of two classical stimulation methods for inducing classical activated (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2) from the monocytes of both cell lines, we comprehensively identified and quantified proteins in different types of macrophages from both cell lines through high-throughput proteomics.
Project description:We conduct an experiment where CBX7 is knocked down in 4 different cell lines: A549, H1299, K562 and THP-1. After culturing these cell lines for three days with or without knockdown of CBX7, we then perform RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to assess the impact.
