RNA-seq analysis of stimulated canine macrophage by Brucella canis

A lot of attempts have been made to understand the immunopathological mechanisms of Brucella canis infection because of the importance of the disease in both public and clinical aspects. However, previous mechanisms are not still revealed. Therefore, in vitro models, which mimic to in vivo infection route using a canine epithelial cell, D17 cell, and a canine macrophage, DH82 cell, was used to solve the clues by analysis of transcriptomes in the cells. In this study, a co-culture model was constructed using the two cells, D17 and DH82 cell lines with trans-well plate. Also, a single cell culture system using DH82 was established. After stimulation of the cells in two different systems with B. canis, gene expressions in the macrophages of the two different system were analyzed by RNA-sequencing. Overall design: mRNA profiling of canine macrophage-like cell at 2 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after stimulation with Brucella canis
