Project description:We found strong protein-protein interactions within these dysregulated genes in nintedanib treated IPF fibroblast, with most genes involved in the pathways of cell cycle, mitotic cell cycle, and cell division. In IPF fibroblasts, we found nintedanib treatment was associated with downregulation of has-miR-92a-1-5p, which might de-repress SLC25A23 expression, and upregulation of has-miR-486-5p, which might repress DDX11, E2F1, and PLXNA4 expressions.

Project description:To investigate the mechanisms underlying disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), we obtained lung fibroblasts from IPF patients from both non-fibrotic and fibrotic areas, and compared gene expression between these areas by DNA microarray. Forty-two genes were commonly upregulated more than two-fold in fibroblasts from the fibrotic lung region compared with their counterparts from the non-fibrotic region in all three IPF patients.
Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive and highly lethal lung disease with unknown etiology and poor prognosis.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression of lung fibroblasts seeded onto decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM). Experiment had 2x2 design where fibroblasts from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or control patients were seeded onto decelluarized lung tissue from IPF or control patients allowing for determination of gene expression differences that were driven by IPF ECM and which differences were driven by the IPF fibroblast. Lung fibroblasts from 5 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and 5 control patients were cultured on decellularized ECM from IPF or control lung. Total RNA and polyribosome RNA were isolated after the cells were cultured on the decellularized ECM for 18 hours. When possible, a control cell line and a diseased cell line were cultured (and processed) simultaneously to minimize the effect of experimental variance induced by running the experiment at different times.Samples with the same batch number (provied in the sample 'characteristics' field) were cultured and processed at the same time.
