Previously, we demonstrated that electoracupuncture (EA) suppressed allergic reactions in DNP-KLH immunized mice. In this study, the mechanisms by which EA induces immunomodulation in the immunized mice were evaluated by genome-wide microarray analysis. The anti-allergic effects of EA in DNP-KLH immunized mice were confirmed by analyzing antigen specific IgE using ELISA. Microarray analysis, followed by real time RT-PCR validation, revealed that Th1 and Th17 cytokine-, opioid peptide-, and anti-apoptosis-related genes were up-regulated upon treatment with EA. In addition, significant decreases in Th2 cytokine-, MAPK signaling pathway-, and apoptosis-related genes were observed following EA treatment.

It may also apply to experiments on inanimate objects. Randomization,Allocation, Random

D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.

D006433 Hemocyanins Metalloproteins that function as oxygen transport proteins in the HEMOLYMPH of MOLLUSKS and ARTHROPODS. They are characterized by two copper atoms, coordinated with HISTIDINE residues, that reversibly bind a single oxygen molecule; they do not contain HEME groups.

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.
