Project description:Cryptosporidium parvum is an important opportunistic parasite pathogen for immunocompromised individuals and a common cause of diarrhea in young children in developing countries. Infection by this parasite causes significant alterations in the gene expression profiles in infected host cells. This study aims to measure the genomic wide alterations in gene expression profiles in host intestinal epithelial cells following C. parvum infection. Mouse intestinal epithelial (IEC4.1) cells were grown to 80% confluence and exposed to C. parvum infection for 24h. Total RNA was collected for the genome-wide analysis. The Agilent SurePrint G3 mouse Gene Expression Microarray (G4852A) was used for the genome-wide analysis, which provides full coverage of genes and transcripts with the most up-to-date content, including mRNAs and lincRNAs (http://www.chem.agilent.com/store/en_US/Prod-G4852A/G4852A).
Project description:Cronobacter sakazakii is a foodborne opportunistic pathogen that causes pneumonia, meningitis and bacteremia. To understand the acidic regulated and two component system PmrA/PmrB about strain pathogenesis, transcriptomics analysis of C. sakazakii grown under acidic pH 5.0 was performed by using RNA-sequencing.

Project description:Opportunistic pathogen than causes long-term diarrhea
Project description:Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is an emerging pathogen that causes diarrhea and heamolytic uremic syndrome. Expression of genes associated to pathogenicity is strictly regulated by environmental factors. Since short chian fatty acids (SCFAs) are present in intestinal tract which is a target of EHEC infection, we investigated the response of EHEC genes to SCFAs, such as acetate, propionate and butyrate. Keywords: Culture condition
Project description:Cronobacter (C.) is an important emerging opportunistic foodborne pathogen representing significant cause of mortality in neonatal patients with bacteremia and meningitis. Knowledge on the pathobiology of Cronobacter mediated meningitis has to a large extend been explored using in vitro models. To explore the innate immune response against the neonatal sepsis/meningitis causing isolate C. turicensis z3032 in vivo, zebrafish larvae (Danio rerio) were used as infection model. Following establishment of infection in zebrafish larvae with z3032, dual RNA-sequencing of host-pathogen was undertaken to profile RNA expression simultaneously in the pathogen and the head region of the zebrafish host.

Keywords: Culture condition 3 sets of comparison between transcription profiles in EHEC growing in the presence of acetate, propionate or butyrate against EHEC growing in the presence of NaCl. Labelling of cDNA and hybridization were performed twice with independently prepared RNAs.
