Project description:The immune response associated with mastitis caused by Mycoplasma bovis is a very complicated biological process in several type of cells, including immune cells, mammary epithelial cells and, endothelial cells. Thus, revealing of the microRNAs in the Mycoplasma bovis infected mammary gland tissues is particularly important for the immune response mechanism to Mycoplasma bovis. Firstly, mammary gland tissue samples were collected from Holstein cows and screened for Mycoplasma bovis. Then, total RNA was isolated from mycoplasma bovis infected tissues and RNA sequencing was performed. After bioinformatics analysis, GO and KEGG analysis of target genes of identified microRNAs were conducted. Our results revaled that 24 of the known microRNAs were expressed differently and 13 of the novel microRNAs were expressed differently in Mycoplasma bovis positive tissues. The target genes of these microRNAs were found to be associated with especially inflammation pathways. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that identified miRNAs may be involved in the signaling pathways during mastitis case caused by Mycoplasma bovis.

Project description:Analysis of H292 cells infected with Mycoplasma hyorhinis. Mycoplasma infection reduces the cytotoxic effect of Nutlin3 on H292 cells. The results provide insight into molecular mechanisms underlying the response of H292 cells to Nutlin3.
Project description:Various anti-mycoplasma drugs have different effects on cells growth We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying gastric cancer cells treated with anti-mycoplasma drugs and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.
