<h4>Background</h4>Monocytes and macrophages express an extensive repertoire of G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) that regulate inflammation and immunity. In this study we performed a systematic micro-array analysis of GPCR expression in primary mouse macrophages to identify family members that are either enriched in macrophages compared to a panel of other cell types, or are regulated by an inflammatory stimulus, the bacterial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS).<h4>Results</h4>Several members o ...[more]

Project description:The tissue-specific pattern of mRNA expression can indicate important clues about gene function. High-density oligonucleotide arrays offer the opportunity to examine patterns of gene expression on a genome scale. Toward this end, we have designed custom arrays that interrogate the expression of the vast majority of protein-encoding human and mouse genes and have used them to profile a panel of 79 human and 61 mouse tissues. The resulting data set provides the expression patterns for thousands of predicted genes, as well as known and poorly characterized genes, from mice and humans. We have explored this data set for global trends in gene expression, evaluated commonly used lines of evidence in gene prediction methodologies, and investigated patterns indicative of chromosomal organization of transcription. We describe hundreds of regions of correlated transcription and show that some are subject to both tissue and parental allele-specific expression, suggesting a link between spatial expression and imprinting.

Project description:Samples for microarray analysis were derived from terminal ileum and colonic tissues from probands with Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis and control patients, respectively. IBD tissue biopsies from non-inflamed regions 10 cm distant from pathological areas were selected. To minimize inter-individual differences in gene expression and to enrich for IBD-specific transcriptional events, 2.5 µg of total RNA from terminal ileum and colon transversum from four individuals of each patient and control group were used for pooling.

Project description:Background: Epigenetic modifications such as methylation silencing of genes with CpG-island-associated promoters is frequently observed in cancer. Studies regarding the implications of epigenetic modifications in osteosarcoma (OS) have been limited. The epigenetic drug decitabine is a potential re-activator of silenced genes through de-methylation, and is currently undergoing clinical trials for cancer treatment. No study to date has utilized decitabine to modify gene expression in OS-derived cells to identify gene-specific methylation targets that may have therapeutic importance. The objective of this study was to measure the response of the OS cell line, U-2OS, to decitabine treatment both in vitro and in vivo. Results: Genome-wide screening was used to distinguish decitabine-dependent changes in gene expression in U-2OS and to identify responsive loci with de-methylated CpG regions. U-2OS xenografts were established in the sub-renal capsule of immune-deficient mice to study the effect of decitabine in vivo on tumor growth and differentiation. Genome-wide screening of U-2OS cells in vitro revealed that decitabine treatment at low-dosage (1 µM) caused a significant induction (p<0.0025) in the expression of 88 genes, 13 had a â?¥2-fold change, 11 of which had CpG-island-associated promoters. Interestingly, 6 of these 11 were pro-apoptotic genes. 1 µM decitabine resulted in a significant induction of cell death in U-2OS cells in vitro (p<0.05). Decitabine treatment also reduced tumor volume size significantly (p<0.05) in U-2OS in vivo at a 2.5 mg/kg dose. Histological analysis of U-2OS xenograft sections revealed a lower mitotic activity (p<0.0001), a higher bone matrix production (p<0.0001), and higher apoptosis (p = 0.0329) after treatment. The 6 pro-apoptotic genes were also induced to â?¥2-fold in vivo. Quantitative Methylation Pyrosequencing (Pyro Q-CpG) showed that 4 pro-apoptotic genes had CpG-island DNA de-methylation as a result of treatment in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: Our data provide new insights regarding the use of epigenetic modifiers in OS, and have important implications for therapeutic trials involving demethylation drugs. The findings of this study suggest an epigenetic mechanism, whereby OS tumor cells silence expression of pro-apoptotic genes through promoter-CpG methylation, to maintain high proliferation capacity and continuous growth. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Germany) from duplicate experiments of U-2OS cells at Day3 after treatment with 1 µM decitabine or medium alone (control). In each experiment RNA yields were pooled from two independent cultures per treatment arm to minimize experimental noise. For each case, 10 µg of RNA was labeled and hybridized to the Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips using the manufacturerâ??s protocol (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) by the Center of Applied Genomics at the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto, Canada). Data were extracted using the Microarray Suite (MAS) version 5.0 (Affymetrix) and linearly scaled to achieve an average intensity of 150 across each chip. The candidate gene list obtained from the MAS 5.0-extracted data was selected by eliminating genes that were not present in at least one experiment. The arrays were subjected to a pair wise comparison using MAS 5.0, with signal intensities from the no-treatment cells as the baseline. The statistical significance for the change of expression for each probe set between the decitabine treated and control was calculated by the MAS5.0 software. The criteria for gene selection for real-time expression validation analysis was based on the statistically significant up-regulation (p<0.0025) and fold change of â?¥ 2 for expression after decitabine treatment. The gene list was annotated based on the NetAffx data-base (http://www.affymetrix.com/analysis /index.affx) and further verified using the Human Genome Browser data base (http://genome.ucsc.edu/)

Project description:We designed and constructed a genome-wide microarray with 22,987 70-mer oligonucleotides covering the presently known and predicted genes in the silkworm genome, and surveyed the gene expression in multiple silkworm tissues on day 3 of the fifth instar. Clusters of tissue-prevalent and tissue-specific genes and genes that are differentially expressed in different tissues were identified, and they reflect well major tissue-specific functions on the molecular level. The data presented in this study provide a new resource for annotating the silkworm genome. In the present study, we surveyed gene expression in the A/MSG, the PSG, testis, ovary, fat body, midgut, integument, hemocyte, malpighian tubule, and head from silkworm individuals on day 3 of the fifth instar. In order to establish gene expression differences between sexes, we prepared male and female samples of the same tissue. In addition, we also selectively performed the biological replicates at least twice for five tissues including testis, ovary, A/MSG, PSG and malpighian tubule, to evaluate biological reproducibility. In all, we prepared 30 two-channel hybridizations across the selected tissues for study. We extracted the single channel intensity instead of the ratio value from each two-channel hybridization for further analysis, a strategy that has been reported as being more flexible and valid previously.

Project description:Embryonic day 13 (E13), E14, and E16 rat testes and ovaries were used for microarray analysis, as well as E13 testis organ cultures that undergo testis morphogenesis and develop seminiferous cords in vitro. A list of 109 genes resulted from a selective analysis for genes present in male gonadal development and with a 1.5-fold change in expression between E13 and E16. Characterization of these 109 genes potentially important for testis development revealed that cytoskeletal-associated proteins, extracellular matrix factors, and signaling factors were highly represented. Throughout the developmental period (E13-E16), sex-enriched transcripts were more prevalent in the male with 34 of the 109 genes having testis-enriched expression during sex determination. In ovaries, the total number of transcripts with a 1.5-fold change in expression between E13 and E16 was similar to the testis, but none of those genes were both ovary enriched and regulated during the developmental period. Genes conserved in sex determination were identified by comparing changing transcripts in the rat analysis herein, to transcripts altered in previously published mouse studies of gonadal sex determination. A comparison of changing mouse and rat transcripts identified 43 genes with species conservation in sex determination and testis development. Profiles of gene expression during E13-E16 rat testis and ovary development are presented and candidate genes for involvement in sex determination and testis differentiation are identified. Analysis of cellular pathways did not reveal any specific pathways involving multiple candidate genes. However, the genes and gene network identified influence numerous cellular processes with cellular differentiation, proliferation, focal contact, RNA localization, and development being predominant. Experiment Overall Design: RNA samples from two different groups of 20-40 pooled gonads for each sample. Embrionic testis and ovaries of age E13, E14, or E16, and E13 testis cultured for three days were compared to each other

Project description:The pathogenesis of primary hyperparathyroidism (I-HPT) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (II-PTH) remains to be elucidated. To characterize their pathophysiology, we investigated the effects of calcium and phosphate on cell proliferation and PTH release in an organ culture of parathyroid tissues. Dissected parathyroid tissues obtained from patients with I-HPT (adenoma) or II-PTH (nodular hyperplasia) were precultured on a collagen-coated membrane for 1-4 week. After exchanging the medium for one containing various concentrations of phosphate, PTH release and [3H]thymidine incorporation were studied. In contrast to dispersed parathyroid cells cultured in a monolayer, calcium decreased PTH release in a concentration-dependent manner in parathyroid tissues. Furthermore, when parathyroid tissues obtained from II-PTH were precultured for 1-4 weeks, PTH release and parathyroid cell proliferation were significantly increased in high-phosphate medium. These phosphate effects were also observed to a lesser extent in parathyroid tissues obtained from I-HPT, but there was no significant difference between I-HPT and II-HPT. Microarray analyses revealed that mRNA levels of PTH, CaSR, and VDR were well preserved, and several growth factors (e.g. TGF-beta1-induced protein) were abundantly expressed in II-PTH. Using organ cultures of hyperparathyroid tissues, in which PTH release and CaSR are well preserved for a prolonged period, we have demonstrated that phosphate stimulates parathyroid cell proliferation not only in II-PTH but also in I-HPT. Although the mechanism responsible for phosphate-induced cell proliferation remains to be elucidated, our in vitro findings suggest that both parathyroid tissues preserve to some extent a physiological response system to hyperphosphatemia as observed in normal parathyroid cells. These data will be published in Journal of Bone & Mineral Metabolism. Experiment Overall Design: Two conditioned experimets, low vs. high phosphate medium, cultured for 1 and 4 days

Project description:Tissues are maintained by homeostatic feedback mechanisms in which cells can respond to, but also modify, the chemical and mechanical properties of the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Mechano-sensitive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) resident in the marrow niche experience a diverse mechanical environment, but ageing can affect the composition and quality of bone and marrow tissues. Here we quantified the compounded effects of substrate stiffness and replication-induced senescence on MSC morphology and their ability to modify their environments through secretion of ECM proteins. The ECM proteome was found to be sensitive to substrate stiffness, but pharmacological inhibition of cellular contractility perturbed this response, decreasing levels of tenascin-C, fibulins and fibronectin. A corresponding change in the ECM of senescent cells, concomitant with a loss of mechano-responsive morphological features, suggested a decoupling of mechanotransduction pathways. Intracellular proteomic and transcriptomic analyses confirmed a decrease in all components of the cytoskeletal protein homeostasis machinery in senescent MSCs. These results demonstrate a senescence-mediated perturbation to cytoskeletal homeostasis, pathways of mechanotransduction and the secretion of ECM proteins considered necessary for tissue maintenance.

Project description:An unresolved issue in immunology is the extent to which inflammatory effects are needed for robust T cell responses. In this study, mice were immunized by iv injection using either high toxicity lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or low toxicity monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) as adjuvant. Six hours after iv immunization, whole spleens were harvested and gene expression was measured in unfractionated splenic populations of cells. The analysis indicated that the low toxicity adjuvanticity of MPL was associated with TLR4-mediated signaling that was biased to the TRIF branch of TLR4, while LPS generated balanced MyD88 and TRIF-associated outcomes. Experiment Overall Design: B6.SJL mice adoptively transferred with T cells from B6.OTI and OTII transgenic TCR transgenic were immunized via intravenous injection with ova peptides alone ("Ova"), or with LPS ("OvaLPS") or MPL as adjuvant ("OvaMPL"). Six hours after immunization, the mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation, the spleens were removed and immediately lysed in guanidium chloride, and kept frozen until being used to extract total cellular RNA. Three mice each were given the indicated treatments, with independent processing and analysis of nine samples total.

Project description:Obesity is an epidemic health problem worldwide that impacts the risk and prognosis of many diseases. However, not all obese patients have the same risk of developing these disorders. Individuals with peripheral obesity, i.e., fat distributed subcutaneously, are at little or no risk of the common medical complications of obesity, whereas individuals with central obesity, i.e., fat accumulated in visceral depots, are prone to these complications. In the present study, using microaarays gene expression, we have explored the hypothesis that patterns of fat distribution and, perhaps, to some degree, obesity itself may have a developmental genetic origin. Experiment Overall Design: Isolated adipocytes and stromo-vascular fraction (SVF) of subcutaneous and intraabdominal adipose tissue of mice were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Three samples from each categories were used for the analyse.
