Project description:To explore the mechanism of action upon addition of MMC to oBHV therapy, unbiased transcriptional profiling was conducted on B16-C10 tumors treated with PBS, oBHV or MMC+oBHV harvested at day 5.
Project description:PBS and Il-5 (22 pM) treated LLC and B16 cells were harvested after 24 hours, for comparison between: 1) PBS and IL-5 trerated LLC cells, and 2) btween LLC and B16 cells at baseline conditions.
Project description:This laboratory focuses on selectin mediated recruitment during adoptive immunotherapy for metastatic cancer. This study seeks to determine changes in the expression levels of Fucosyltransferases, Selectins, and cytokines in normal and inflamed mouse skin, melanoma tumor tissue of different sizes, and tumor cells grown in culture. Since the ability to treat the tumor effectively is directly related to the size of the tumor, differences in glyco-expression patterns may be of interest. In this study, five groups were hybridized and analyzed using the GLYCOv2 array. Each group was analyzed in triplicate. The groups were: Normal mouse skin, normal mouse skin inflamed by treatment with Oxazolone, B16-OVA melanoma tissue from 6 day tumors, B16-OVA melanoma tissue from 11 day tumors, and B16-OVA grown in cell culture.
Project description:Characterization of the immune profile (i.e. tumor RNA) of a murine B16.F10 tumor 6 hours post a single 100 µL intratumoral injection of 2 µg NanoISD, Free D-PDB at an equivalent dose, or PBS.
Project description:We sought to identify pathways dysregulated in Mycobacterium tuberculosis upon treatment with the compound C10. We treated M. tuberculosis with DMSO, 5 μM C10, or 25 μM C10 for 48 hours in Sauton's medium and used RNA-sequencing to compare transcriptional profiles.
Project description:On day 7 after B16 melanoma cells transplantation, C57Bl6 mice with subcutaneous palpable tumors were randomly divided into 2 groups for experimental treatment with Dacarbazine. Group 1 «Control (PBS) », n=5, animals in this group were intraperitoneally injected with phosphate buffered saline in a volume of 250 µl. Group 2 «DTIC», n=5, animals in this group were intraperitoneally injected with a solution of Dacarbazine (DTIC) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in phosphate buffer at a concentration of 50 mg/kg of animal weight. Injections with PBS or DTIC were carried out three times on days 8, 10 and 12 after melanoma cell transplantation, on day 14, mice were sacrificed for further analysis of primary tumors and organs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. baumannii ATCC 17978 comparing treated-MMC cultures with non-MMC treated cultures Two-condition experiment A. baumannii 17978 MMC+ vs A. baumannii 17978 MMC-. Biological replicates:3, Technical replicates:2
Project description:We wanted to correlate the protein cargo of secreted exosomes with gene expression pattern in B16-F1 and B16-F1R2. For that purpose, we performed RNA sequencing analysis of B16-F1, B16-F1R2 and B16-F1R2L (Fig.1E). We identified >3000 genes significantly up-regulated and >1000 significantly down-regulated in B16-F1R2 model compared to B16-F1, using a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05.
Project description:We sought to identify which genes were dysregulated in hypoxic Mycobacterium tuberculosis upon treatment with C10. We cultured Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an air-tight vessel for 2 weeks in the presence of either DMSO or 50 μM C10, and used RNA-sequencing to compare transcriptional profiles.
