Bacterial DNA and related synthetic immunostimulatory oligodeoxyribo-nucleotides (ISS-ODN) have stimulatory effects on mammalian immune cells through a Toll-like receptor, TLR9. Genes upregulated in ISS-ODN-stimulated immune cells are obviously significant to delineate the mechanism of the induced innate immunity. Employing suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), we have generated a profile of genes induced by ISS-ODN in spleen cells. Sequencing of 87 clones isolated by the SSH showed 39 clones corresponding to known mouse genes in the public database. Eleven clones appeared to possess 80-90% homology with known mouse genes and the remaining 37 clones showed no significant homology with any known mouse genes. A series of known genes which have not previously been reported to be induced with ISS-ODN were confirmed to be induced in ISS-ODN-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages: NF-kappaB p105, IRF-1, PA28beta, IRG2, and MyD88. These genes were suggested to be involved in the molecular process of innate host defense mechanisms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides

D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
