Bronchial epithelial cells represent the first line of defense against invading airborne pathogens. They are important contributors to innate mucosal immunity and provide a variety of anti-microbial effectors. To investigate the role of epithelial cells upon infection of airway pathogens, we stimulated BEAS-2B cells for 4 h with UV-inactivated bronchial pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Respiratory Syncitial Virus (RSV) that among other receptors can strongly activate TLR2, TLR4 and TLR3, respectively.

View SamplesIn this study, we used the Affymetrix wheat GeneChip to examine the transcript accumulation in a near-isogenic line pair carrying resistant and susceptible alleles at the wheat Fhb1 locus. The objectives of this study were: (1) to identify the overall response in wheat to F. graminearum infection; (2) to identify key genes involved in FHB resistance/susceptibility pathways in wheat; (3) to compare the transcript profiles of wheat and barley during F. graminearum infection; and (4) to examine the relationship between transcript accumulation, disease severity, fungal biomass and trichothecene accumulation in wheat. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Seungho Cho.

View SamplesWe utilized the Barley1 Affymetrix GeneChip for comparative transcript analysis of Betzes barley, Chinese Spring wheat, and Chinese SpringBetzes ditelosomic chromosome addition lines to physically map barley genes to their respective chromosome arm locations. We mapped barley genes to chromosome arms (1HS, 2HS, 2HL, 3HS, 3HL, 4HS, 4HL, 5HS, 5HL, 7HS, and 7HL) based on their transcript levels in the ditelosomic addition lines. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Hatice Bilgic.

View SamplesChronic inflammation during placental malaria (PM) caused by Plasmodium falciparum is most frequent in first-time mothers and is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. In the first genome wide analysis of the local human response to sequestered malaria parasites, we identified genes associated with chronic PM, then localized the corresponding proteins and immune cell subsets in placental cryosections.

View SamplesMegakaryoblastic Leukemia 1 and 2 (MKL1 and 2) are coactivators of the transcription factor Serum Response Factor (SRF). We recently showed that depletion of MKL1 and 2 abolished HCC xenograft growth, associated with oncogene-induced senescence. To identify suitable MKL target genes mediating these effects, we performed microarray analyses using HuH7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells stably expressing shRNA against MKL1/2 (HuH7 MKL1/2 KD). We therefore used a Affymetrix oligonucleotide array and filtered for genes whose expression in HuH7 MKL1/2 KD cells was reduced by a factor of at least 2.5 as compared to control HuH7 cells.
The novel MKL target gene myoferlin modulates expansion and senescence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
