Project description:Investigation of gene expression in human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT) following non-thermal plasma treatment for 20 s, 60 s, and 180 s compared to untreated and H2O2-treated controls. Microarrays were used to analyze and investigate the biological effects of non-thermal plasma on human keratinocyte cells. Using an argon plasma jet kinpen, regulated transcripts were analyzed and further described in Schmidt et al. (2014): “Transcript profiling identifies an important role for Nrf2/Keap1-pathway after non-thermal plasma treatment in human keratinocytes”.
Project description:Although accumulated evidence suggests that NTP induces death of various cancer cell types, thus offering a promising alternative treatment, the mechanism of its therapeutic effect is little understood. To understand basic molecular and cellular mechanisms triggered by plasma treatment, we firstly investigated biological effects of helium plasma on human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cell line. The presented data of the tumor transcriptome help identifying the key players of modulated gene expression following exposure to plasma at the molecular level and interpreting the downstream process.

The presented data of the tumor transcriptome help identifying the key players of modulated gene expression following exposure to plasma at the molecular level and interpreting the downstream process. We set several groups including 1 min plasma treatment, 3 min plasma treatment and sham control. In 1 min group, we collected samples at 4 hr postr the stimulation, and in 3 min group, the samples at 1, 2, 4 h after treatment have been collected for analysis.
Project description:Investigation of gene expression in cultured human skin epithelial keratinocytes (HaCaT) following non-thermal plasma treatment for 60 s, compared to untreated control. Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma has recently gained attention in the field of biomedical and clinical applications. In the area of plasma medicine research one promising approach is to promote wound healing by stimulation of cells involved. To understand basic molecular and cellular mechanisms triggered by plasma treatment we investigated biological effects of an argon plasma jet (kinpen) on human epithelial skin cells. Consequently, whole-genome microarrays were used to analyze this interaction in detail and identified a statistically significant modification of 3,274 genes including 1,828 up- and 1,446 down-regulated genes. Particularly, plasma-treated cells are characterized by differential expression of a considerable number of genes involved in the response to stress. In this regard, we found a plasma-dependent regulation of oxidative stress answer and increased expression of enzymes of the antioxidative defense system (e.g. 91 oxidoreductases). Our results demonstrate that plasma induces cell reactions of stress-sensing but also of proliferative nature. Consistent with gene expression changes as well as Ingenuity Pathway Analysis prediction, we propose that stimulating doses of plasma may protect epithelial skin cells in wound healing by promoting proliferation and differentiation. In conclusion, gene expression profiling may become an important tool in identifying plasma-related changes of gene expression. Our results underline the enormous clinical potential of plasma as a biomedical tool for stimulation of epithelial skin cells We investigated biological effects of an argon plasma jet on HaCaTs. Microarray were used to analyzed this interaction in detail. The transcripts analyzed in this study are further described in Schmidt et al. (2013): Non-thermal plasma treatment is associated with changes in transcriptome of human epithelial skin cells. Accepted in Journal Free Radical Research A study using total RNA recovered from at least 8 non-thermal plasma treated samples (300 ms*M-BM-5l/cell) and untreated HaCaT controls.

Project description:Macrophage polarization factors to direct digit number and identity in the treated macrophages. We have characterized the macrophage-dependent regulatory genes network through a combination of whole genome RNA sequencing and transcriptional profiling in the phorbol and non-thermal plasma treated THP-1 monocytes. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from differentiated macrophages (THP-1) using a very lose doses of non-thermal plasma, as well as THP-1 which were treated only with phorbol (PMA). These data are used to obtain genes that are differentially expressed in response to macrophage polarization by plasma treatments.
Project description:To determine the signaling networks that are dysregulated in cisplatin-resistant non-small cell lung cancer, noncoding RNA expression data were obtained from, and compared between, the lung adenocarcinoma cell line, A549, and its cisplatin-resistant derivative, A549/CDDP. Noncoding RNA expression data from a cisplatin-sensitive lung adenocarcinoma cancer cell line (A549) were collected and compared to noncoding RNA expression data from a cisplatin-resistant cell line (A549/CDDP). 3 independent experiments were completed for both the sensitive and resistant cell lines.
