Project description:Genomic DNA from five strains, Aspergillus fumigatus Af71, Aspergillus fumigatus Af294, Aspergillus clavatus, Neosartorya fenneliae, and Neosartorya fischeri, were co-hybridized with that of Aspergillus fumigatus Af293 and compared.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in trichostatin A (TSA)-treated A. fumigatus Af293 compared to non-treated A. fumigatus Af293. Species: Aspergillus fumigatus; Strain: Af293; Type of array: Eukaryotic Expression (4plex, 2plex for a TSA-treated sample and 2plex for a non-treated sample); Technical replicates: Two per treatment.
Project description:Amphotericin B (AMB) is the most widely used polyene antifungal drug for the treatment of systemic fungal infections including invasive aspergillosis. We aimed to understand molecular targets of AMB in Aspergillus fumigatus (Afu) by genomic approaches. Keywords: Aspergillus fumigatus treated with amphotericin B for 24 hours
Project description:In lung diseases caused by the major mould pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus the pulmonary epithelium is destroyed by invasive growth of fungal hyphae, a process thought to require fungal proteases. Here we show that the A. fumigatus pH-responsive transcription factor PacC governs expression of secreted proteases during invasive lung infections and is required for epithelial invasion and pathogenicity. In addition, A. fumigatus M-NM-^TpacC mutants aberrantly remodel the fungal cell wall during infection. This study defines distinct PacC-mediated mechanisms of host damage during pulmonary aspergillosis. ch1: treatment protocol Temporal transcriptional profiling of ATCC46645 strain and isogenic M-NM-^TpacC Aspergillus fumigatus mutant during murine infection
Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is an important human pathogen and a leading fungal killer. This study aimed to determine the small RNA repertoire of A. fumigatus in conidia and mycelium grown for 24 or 48 hours in liquid culture.
Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is an important human pathogen and a leading fungal killer. This study aimed to determine the tRNA fragment and tRNA half repertoire of A. fumigatus in wild-type conidia and mycelium grown for 24 or 48 hours in liquid culture.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE24983: Response of A549 cells treated with Aspergillus fumigatus [WT-CF_vs_WT-GC] GSE24984: Response of A549 cells treated with Aspergillus fumigatus [WT-GC_vs_PrtT-GC] GSE24985: Response of A549 cells treated with Aspergillus fumigatus [WT-CF_vs_PrtT-CF] Refer to individual Series
Project description:To investigate the influence of Aspergillus fumigatus on iron regulation in macrophages, we obtained macrophages in culture from human derived monocytes and co-cultured the monocyte-derived macrophages with Aspergillus conidia at a 1:1 ratio. We collected samples at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours and extracted RNA. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of control macrophages and macrophage co-cultured with Aspergillus fumigatus at five time points.
