Changes in gene expression in MKN45 cells in response to Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide. Homo sapiens

This study set out to identify global changes in gene expression in MKN45 gastric epithelial cells following 8 hours stimulation with 10 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the gastric pathogen H. pylori. Microarray analysis was used to compare changes in gene expression between cells treated with 10 μg/ml H. pylori LPS and untreated cells at the same time point. Overall design: Total RNA was harvested from MKN45 cells following treatment with LPS for 8h or untreated cells at the same time-point. 2 independent experiments were carried out. RNA was labeled and hybridized to GeneChips to analyse changes in gene expression.
