Host Cell Gene Expression Pattern in an in vitro Infection Model<br />

Immune cells and other cells <strong>of</strong> the body are capable <strong>of</strong> presenting intracellular antigens via<br />

MHC-I. Although a significant increase in expression was observed for MHC-II gene HLA-DOP<br />

(3.8), all other MHC-II genes for both alpha and beta subunits were not differentially expressed.<br />

Additionally, the intensity <strong>of</strong> MHC-II gene expression is clearly among the lower values on the<br />

whole array. This is not surprising, because presentation <strong>of</strong> extracellular antigens via MHC-II<br />

preferentially occurs <strong>by</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional antigen presenting cells (APC) like dendritic cells (DC),<br />

macrophages and B cells, and the human bronchial epithelial cell line S9, which was used in this<br />

study, does not belong to the group <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional APC.<br />

For the influence <strong>of</strong> staphylococcal infection on antigen presentation in in vivo kidney gene<br />

expression please refer to Results / Kidney Gene Expression Pattern in an in vivo Infection<br />

Persistence and enhancement <strong>of</strong> S9 reaction to infection with S. aureus RN1HG from the 2.5 h<br />

to the 6.5 h time point<br />

It has already been mentioned that a big fraction <strong>of</strong> the genes, which were differentially<br />

expressed at the 2.5 h time point, was still regulated at the later 6.5 h time point. This concerned<br />

26 genes (Table R.4.5).<br />

comparison between infection with S. aureus RN1HG GFP and control treatment.<br />

a Fold change values were calculated for the comparison <strong>of</strong> infected GFP + S9 cell with the baseline <strong>of</strong> medium control samples.<br />

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) was already increased 2.5 h after start <strong>of</strong> infection (fold<br />

change 1.6). This increase was further elevated after 6.5 h (2.2). Fittingly, increased expression<br />

was also detectable for the LIF receptor (LIFR, 2.2) at this time point.<br />
