To identify soybean genes and QTLs associated with quantitative resistance to infection by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora sojae, we conducted a very large-scale microarray experiment using 2522 Affymetrix GeneChips. The experiment involved assaying a total of 298 soybean recombinant inbred lines together with internal checks.
Infection and genotype remodel the entire soybean transcriptome.

View SamplesFour selected soybean genotypes with varying degrees of quantitative resistance that were well-characterized were selected for this study. These included two resistant genotypes (V71-370, Conrad), and two susceptible genotypes (Sloan, and VP-RIL9). A P. sojae isolate, PT2004C2.S1 , which is virulent to the soybean genotypes carrying Rps1a, Rps1b, Rps1k, Rps2, Rps3a, Rps3c, Rps4, Rps5, Rps6, or Rps7, was used in this study.

View SamplesBACKGROUND: Dietary ABA-supplementation modulates immune and inflammatory responses in mouse models of chronic and infectious disease. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ABA elicits its immune modulatory effects are not well understood. This project used a systems approach in combination with functional and in vivo studies to investigate the target gene pathways modulated by ABA in the context of an inflammatory LPS challenge.

View SamplesIntestinal development during late embryogenesis and early posthatch has a long term influence on digestive and absorptive capacity in chickens. The objective of this research was to obtain a global view of intestinal gene expression from late embryogenesis until 2 weeks posthatch with a focus on genes involved in nutrient uptake.

View SamplesIn this study, genome-wide gene expression profiles of primary hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) were measured at day 12 for each cell culture system using Affymetrix GeneChips and analyzed via Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). The culture systems analyzed include the commonly used collagen sandwich and monolayers of hepatocytes, as well as 3-dimensional (3D) engineered liver models that contain hepatocytes and LSECs (3DHL) and hepatocytes, LSECs, and Kupffer cells (3DHLK). Our results highlight the up-regulation of several hepatocyte specific functions in hepatocytes and a novel interplay between Ppara signaling and bile acid biosynthesis in LSECs.

View SamplesBACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g (PPAR g) is a nuclear receptor whose activation has been shown to modulate macrophage and epithelial cell-mediated inflammation. The objective of this study was to use a systems approach for investigating the mechanism by which the deletion of PPAR g in epithelial cells modulates the severity of dextran-sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, immune cell distribution and global gene expression.

View SamplesType I interferons were discovered as the primary antiviral cytokines and are now known to serve critical functions in host defense against bacterial pathogens. Accordingly, established mediators of interferon antiviral activity may mediate previously unrecognized antibacterial functions. RNase-L is the terminal component of an RNA decay pathway that is an important mediator of interferon-induced antiviral activity. Here we identify a novel role for RNase-L in the host antibacterial response. RNase-L-/- mice exhibited a dramatic increase in mortality following
