Project description:Host-pathogen interactions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection still remain poorly understood. We investigated the host immune response to different reference Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in THP-1 cells. Major differences in the gene expression profiles were identified in response to infection with these strains. These findings shed new insights into the dynamic variation in tuberculosis immune response and pathogenesis. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST microarrays to investigate host differential gene expression in response to different Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains.
Project description:Rifampicin plays an important role during tuberculosis treatment, which historically contributed for shortening therapy; however, rifampicin resistance has been the intersection for the definition of multi (MDR-TB) and extensively (XDR-TB) resistant outcomes. A key aspect which has contributed for investigations of drug action/resistance is the understanding of the dynamic genome expression, as that analyzed by Proteomics. Proteins from the reference strain, Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv were extracted after 12, 24 and 48 hours over rifampicin challenge at the minimal inhibitory concentration (0.03 μg•mL-1) and identified by LC-MS.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains comparing control DMSO treated strains with Linezolid treated strains. Goal was to determine the effects of Linezolid against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains comparing control DMSO treated strains with Lupulone treated strains. Goal was to determine the effects of Lupulone against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis treated with the DHFR inhibitor WR99210, compared to untreated cells. The antimycobacterial properties of WR99210 are further described in Gerum, A., Ulmer, J., Jacobus, D., Jensen, N., Sherman, D., and C. Sibley. 2002. Novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae screen identifies WR99210 analogues that inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydrofolate reductase. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 46(11):3362-3369 [PMID:12384337]
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of H37Rv (WT), Mut1 and Comp1 bacteria under aerobic (Aer/0 day, i.e 0 D) and hypoxic conditions (Hyp/5 days standing culture, i.e 5 D). Mut1: H37Rv carrying devR gene disruption by in frame insertion of kanamycin resistance cassette and expressing DevRN-Kan fusion protein. Comp1: Mut1 complemented with low copy number plasmid carrying devR gene expressed from its native constitutive upstream promoter. (Reference: Majumdar et al., 2010, PLoS One 5:e9448). Goal is to compare transcriptional patterns of WT, Mut1 and Comp1 strains under aerobic (0 D) and hypoxic (5 D) conditions in vitro. Two color and One-color experiments,Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Genotypic Technology designed Custom Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv Whole Genome 8x15k GE Microarray (AMADID-020181)
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34919: Genome-wide Definition of the SigF Regulon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (ChIP-chip) GSE34922: Genome-wide Definition of the SigF Regulon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Expression) Refer to individual Series
