ABSTRACT: Gene expression profiles of human immature dendritic cells and macrophages after 6h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus and platelet rich plasma
Project description:Gene expression profiles of human immature dendritic cells after 3h, 6h, 9h and 12h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus were compared to expression profiles from human immature dendritic cells after 3h, 6h, 9h and 12h of cultivation.

We used microarrays to detail the gene expression of human immature dendritic cells after 3h, 6h, 9h and 12h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE21353: Gene expression profiles of human immature dendritic cells after 3h, 6h and 12h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus GSE28806: The temporal dynamics of differential gene expression in human alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells interacting with the human pathogenic mould Aspergillus fumigatus in vitro Refer to individual Series
Project description:In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs and macrophages confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, platelet rich plasma (PRP) or the combination of A.fumigatus and PRP were investigated. Therefore DCs and macrophages of three independent donors were harvested after 6 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, platelet rich plasma (PRP) or the combination of A.fumigatus and PRP and analyzed with Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a cell type dependent clustering. Only little effects were obeserved by addition of PRP. Furthermore a clustering of A.fumigatus stimulated cells whether PRP was present or not, was observed. However, significant differences in the immune response of A.fumigauts stimuled DC and macrophages were determined.
Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is the most relevant pathogenic mould in immunocompromised patients. Spores of A. fumigatus are inhaled and reach the lung alveoli, where they interact with the human immune system. In this set of experiments, we co-cultured with defined morphologies of Aspergillus fumigatus (Af293) for 0h, 3h and 6h with either cells representing human alveolar epithelium (A549) or human alveolar endothelium (HPAEC). We included either monocyte-derived or myeloid dendritic cells from volunteer donor blood to the epithelial layer to examine their effect on gene expression. RNA was extracted from both cell lines at each time point and hybridised to microarrays. Microarrays contain probes for approximately 110 selected human immune-relevant genes, including cytokine and chemokine genes, their receptors and downstream innate immunity genes. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression of human alveloar epithelial and endothelials cells after 3h and 6h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus and monocyte-derived or myeloid dendritic cells
Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) are the most important antigen presenting cells and play a pivotal role in host immunity to infectious agents by acting as a bridge between the innate and adaptive immune systems. Myeloid DCs (mDC) were isolated from peripheral blood and co-cultured with conidia (con) and germlings (ks) of Aspergillus fumigatus knockout (mitA, mnt1, rodA) and wildtype (wt) strains for 6 hours at an MOI of 1. RNA was extracted and hybridised to microarrays. Microarrays contain probes for approximately 110 selected human immune-relevant genes, including cytokine and chemokine genes, their receptors and downstream innate immunity genes. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression of human myeloid dendritic cells after 6h of co-cultivation with Aspergillus fumigatus wildtype and knockout mutants
Project description:DCs are localized under the mucosa of the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract, and therefore come into close contact with A. fumigatus germ tubes during early steps of infection as soon as fungi become invasive. For a more detailed insight into differentially regulated genes, whole genome microarray analysis was performed. On average, unstimulated DCs showed expression of about 13.500 genes (35% of all genes spotted on the chip). After 6h co-cultivation of DCs and live A. fumigatus germ tubes, 590 genes showed a 4fold altered gene expression, if normalizing data with VSN before. Therein, a wide range of immune response genes, including genes encoding for cytokines (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p40, TNF-α), chemokines (CCL5, CCL20, CXCL10), immunorelevant receptors (TLR2, TLR4, PTX-3), as well as costimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD83, CD86) were differentially regulated.

Experiment Overall Design: Human DCs were generated from two independent, healthy blood donors. 5 x 106 DCs were either cultivated without fungi or together with 5 x 106 A. fumigatus germ tubes for 6h until isolation of total RNA.
