Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishStreptococcus pneumoniae invades the CNS and triggers a strong cellular response. To date, signaling events that occur in the human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hBMECs), in response to pneumococci or its surface adhesins are not mapped comprehensively. We evaluated the response of hBMECs to the adhesion lipoprotein (a laminin binding protein—Lbp) or live pneumococci. Lbp is a surface adhesin recently identified as a potential ligand, which binds to the hBMECs. Transcriptomic analysis was performed by RNA-seq of three independent biological replicates and validated with qRT-PCR using 11 genes. In total 350 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified after infection with S. pneumoniae, whereas 443 DEGs when challenged with Lbp. Total 231 DEGs were common in both treatments. Integrative functional analysis revealed participation of DEGs in cytokine, chemokine, TNF signaling pathways and phagosome formation. Moreover, Lbp induced cell senescence and breakdown, and remodeling of ECM. This is the first report which maps complete picture of cell signaling events in the hBMECs triggered against S. pneumoniae and Lbp. The data obtained here could contribute in a better understanding of the invasion of pneumococci across BBB and underscores role of Lbp adhesin in evoking the gene expression in neurovascular unit.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe output elucidates the biological processes taking place in brain endothelial cells after their induction by Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) and its ligand laminin binding protein. Data from transcriptome analysis were processed using innovative bioinformatics tools. The elucidation of cell transcriptome forms the basis for understanding the process of SP translocation across the blood-brain barrier. These findings can be used in the development of ligand-blocking therapeutic agents.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe output describes methods of culturing and inducing SP endothelial cells, as well as a method of isolating and processing RNA for RNA sequencing. Transcriptome analysis was performed using innovative bioinformatics tools. All modern procedures presented in this output can be applied in the educational process as a model for biological processing of samples, as well as the analysis of transcriptome data.
