Project description:The purpose of this study was to identify Mtb- and hsa-encoded miRNAs produced in infected macrophages. RNA from 9 THP-1 samples (3 were uninfected, 3 were infected with Mtb H37Rv for 3 days and 3 were infected with Mtb H37Rv for 6 days) was sequenced and miRNAs were detected.
Project description:Comparison of gene expression profile of the whiB4 mutant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the wild type Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV Mtb WhiB4 mutant mRNA was compared with the mRNA of wtMtb H37RV under aerobic conditons Aerbic conditions OD600 nm of 0.4, MtbWhiB4KO vs wtMtb, biological replicates: 3 wt Mtb H37RV and 3 MtbWhiB4 KO
Project description:We have performred RNA-seq analysis of WT Mtb H37Rv, ∆phoP Mtb and H37Rv-pde (WT Mtb H37Rv overexpressing gene Rv0805 which codes for a phosphodiesterase), to look for the similarity in ∆phoP Mtb and H37Rv-pde transcriptome. RNA was extracted from exponentially growing mycobacterial cells in Middlebrook 7H9 media. Briefly, 25 ml of bacterial culture was grown to mid-log phase (OD600= 0.4 to 0.6) and combined with 40 ml of 5 M guanidinium thiocyanate solution containing 1% β-mercaptoethanol and 0.5% Tween 80. Cells were pelleted by centrifugation, and lysed by re-suspending in 1 ml Trizol (Ambion) in the presence of Lysing Matrix B (100 µm silica beads; MP Bio) using a FastPrep-24 bead beater (MP Bio) at a speed setting of 6.0 for 30 seconds. The procedure was repeated for 2-3 cycles with incubation on ice in between pulses. Next, cell lysates were centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 10 minutes; supernatant was collected and processed for RNA isolation using Direct-ZolTM RNA isolation kit (ZYMO) as per manufacturer’s recommendation. Following extraction, RNA was treated with DNAse I (Promega) to degrade contaminating DNA, and integrity was assessed using a Nanodrop (ND-1000, Spectrophotometer). RNA samples were further checked for intactness of 23S and 16S rRNA using formaldehyde-agarose gel electrophoresis, and Qubit fluoremeter (Invitrogen). RNA integrity was checked using Agilent 2200 Tape Station system (Agilent Technologies). Library construction, RNA-sequencing and data analysis have been carried out by Agrigenome Labs Private Limited (Cochin), India.
Project description:Mtb H37Rv was found to be highly susceptible to ATD-3169 (Redox generating compound). To further understand the mechanism of ATD-3169 action, we performed microarray analysis of Mtb H37Rv exposed to 3µM, 30 µM and 150µM of ATD-3169 for 4h.
Project description:To compare gene expression changes induced by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) with changes induced by purified Mtb products, we infected THP-1 cells with Mtb strain H37Rv or treated with purified Mtb products, then performed RNAseq.
Project description:The peritoneal macrophages were infected with Mtb H37Rv for 4 hours, and the miRNA expression profile were analyzed with deep sequencing.
Project description:The numerous sigma factors present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) are indicative of adaptability to different environmental conditions. In this report we describe the sigma factor B (sigB) regulon and the phenotypes of a MTB sigB mutant strain exposed to different stresses like SDS and Diamide. This experiment set compares expression profiles between H37Rv wild type and H37Rv sigB null mutant as well as under different stress conditions. Both H37Rv wild type and H37Rv sigB null mutants were treated with either 0.05% SDS or 5mM Diamide for 60 min and their expression profiles were compared with untreated wild type or mutant controls.
Project description:Expression profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv biofilm as induced by DTT (Reduced) 6mM DTT reduced at 6 mM concentration was added to log phase culture of Mtb H37Rv. After 29 hours RNA was isolated and hybridization was done on microarrays
Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb) was grown in Sauton's medium with and without added zinc. Cultures were grown for 10 days and RNA was harvested from TRIzol extractions.
