Project description:Porcine pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacilluspleuropneumoniae (APP) is a swine respiratory disease with an important impact around the world either as a single infection or part of the porcine respiratory disease complex. The data of interaction between hosts and pathogens has becoming more crucial for exploration of the mechanism. However, up to now, comparatively little information is available on the systemic and dynamic changes that occur in pig serum in response to APP infection. This study used iTRAQ to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in pig serum in response to APP infection.

The data of interaction between hosts and pathogens has becoming more crucial for exploration of the mechanism. However, up to now, comparatively little information is available on the systemic and dynamic changes that occur in pig BALF in response to APP infection. This study used iTRAQ to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in pig BALF in response to APP infection.
Project description:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the blood of pigs at different time points (0, 24 and 120 h) post infection and their transcriptome determined by Illumina HiSeq 4000 high-throughput sequencing. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of the DEGs revealed the close relationship between the peripheral blood and inflammatory response from the perspective of molecular function, cell composition, biological processes and signalling pathways.
Project description:In Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients, cycles of infection and inflammation lead to fatal lung damage. Here, we made use of a CF pig model to investigate proteome alterations in lung, lung-derived leukocytes and PBMCs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human PBMCs comparing healthy controls, patients with diabetic nephropathy and patients with ESRD. PBMCs were analyzed as they mediate inflammatory injury. Goal was to determine effects of increasing severity of diabetic nephropathy on global PBMC gene expression. Microarray analysis of PBMCs taken from patients with varying degrees of diabetic nephropathy.
Project description:This study aimed to analyze and compare the test transcripts of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 4 healthy donors and 4 septic patients' whole blood.
