View SamplesAeromonas caviae has been associated with human gastrointestinal disease. Strains of this species typically lack virulence factors (VFs) such as enterotoxins and hemolysins that are produced by other human pathogens of the Aeromonas genus. Microarray profiling of murine small intestinal extracts, 24 hours after oral infection with an A. caviae strain, provides evidence of a Th1 type immune response. A large number of gamma-interferon (-IFN) induced genes are up-regulated as well as several tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-) transcripts. A. caviae has always been considered an opportunistic pathogen because it lacks obvious virulence factors. This current effort suggests A. caviae colonizes murine intestinal tract and causes what has been described by others as a dysregulatory cytokine response leading to an irritable bowel-like syndrome. This response would explain why a number of diarrheal waterborne outbreaks have been attributed to A. caviae even though it lacks obvious enteropathogenic properties.

View SamplesHow secondary CD4 T cell effectors, derived from resting memory cells, differ from primary cells, derived from nave precursors, and how such differences impact recall responses to pathogens is unknown.
Memory CD4+ T-cell-mediated protection depends on secondary effectors that are distinct from and superior to primary effectors.

View SamplesRhoBTB2 is a novel Rho GTPase that undergoes loss, underexpression and mutation in breast and lung cancer. We have shown that we can mimic loss of RhoBTB2 through siRNA treatment of primary cells. We propose to perform comparative microarray analysis of primary lung cells to establish the identification of the gene targets of RhoBTb2 regulation.
The atypical Rho GTPase RhoBTB2 is required for expression of the chemokine CXCL14 in normal and cancerous epithelial cells.

View SamplesTo obtain a comprehensive view of genes contributing to long-term memory we performed mRNA sequencing from single Drosophila heads following behavioral training that produces long-lasting memory. Overall design: Drosophila trained with an appetitive conditioning paradigm using Sucrose were collected prior to starvation, training, and 1 or 4 hours post-training, 5 to 6 replicates each, for RNA-Seq analysis of the fly heads with an Illumina HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesGenome-wide profiling establishes that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) exerts an extensive, unforeseen level of specific control over which cellular mRNAs are recruited to or excluded from polyribosomes.

View SamplesAims: To assess the virulence of multiple Aeromonas spp. using two models, a neonatal mouse assay and a mouse intestinal cell culture.
Evaluating virulence of waterborne and clinical Aeromonas isolates using gene expression and mortality in neonatal mice followed by assessing cell culture's ability to predict virulence based on transcriptional response.
