Gene expression based profiling of brains from mice infected with lethal Listeria monocytogenes over a 4-day period

ABSTRACT: Data presented here show that gene expression in the mouse brain changes during systemic infection relative to a steady state (uninfected control) mouse during systemic Listeria monocytogenes infection. Microarray analysis of gene expression in the brain following i.v. inoculation of 1-2 LD 50 L. monocytogenes showed changes in brain transcriptional activity occurred prior to brain infection. Keywords: infectious diseases model, gene expression profiling for cell signaling/trafficking Mice were injected with 1-2 LD50 wild type L. monocytogenes or with sterile PBS (control) then seven animals from each group were harvested daily for 4 days. From each day, groups of five infected animals were selected for microarray analysis based upon similarities in CFU bacteria in the spleen (day 1), blood (day 2), and brain (days 3 and 4) and were randomly paired with brains harvested from control animals. RNA was extracted from the brain halves using the Atlasâ¢ Pure Total RNA Labeling System and hybridized to plastic slides with 32P-labeled probes using Atlasâ¢ Plastic Mouse 5K Microarray (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) according to the manufacturerâs directions. Hybridization to the arrays and phosphorimaging analysis were performed in the OUHSC microarray facility. Phosphorimaging analysis was performed using a Stormâ¢ optical scanner (Molecular Dynamics Inc., Sunnyvale, CA), and initial background corrections were performed using the Array Vision Software (Imaging Research Inc., St. Catharines, Ontario). Data analyses were performed using Genespring GX v. 7.3 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Raw signal data were normalized to the median of the entire chip for each sample, and all samples were further normalized per gene to the medians of data from the uninfected samples. Data for each day were analyzed by Mann Whitney Wilcoxen nonparametric test with a p-value cutoff of 0.05. Lists of genes were generated to reflect 2, 3, or 5-fold upregulation and downregulation based on significance. Expression data were incorporated into Ingenuity software (Ingenuity Systems, Inc., Redwood City, CA) to enable further understanding of complex relationships as well as provide further information about key canonical pathways in which the genes of interest functions.

Blood borne Listeria monocytogenes enter the CNS via migration of parasitized Ly-6Chigh monocytes, but the signals that trigger this migration are not known. To understand more completely events leading to monocyte recruitment, experiments presented here combined microarray analysis of gene expression in the brains of experimentally infected mice with measurements of bacterial CFU and serum cytokines following i.v. infection with L. monocytogenes. At 24 and 48 h postinfection, the brain was ster ...[more]

Project description:Sulphur is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Reaching a thorough understanding of the molecular basis for changes in plant metabolism depending on the sulphur-nutritional status at the systems level will advance our basic knowledge and help target future crop improvement. Although the transcriptional responses induced by sulphate starvation have been studied in the past, knowledge of the regulation of sulphur metabolism is still fragmentary. This work focuses on the discovery of candidates for regulatory genes such as transcription factors (TFs) using M-bM-^@M-^Xomics technologies. For this purpose a short term sulphate-starvation / re-supply approach was used. ATH1 microarray studies and metabolite determinations yielded 21 TFs which responded more than 2-fold at the transcriptional level to sulphate starvation. Categorization by response behaviors under sulphate-starvation / re-supply and other nutrient starvations such as nitrate and phosphate allowed determination of whether the TF genes are specific for or common between distinct mineral nutrient depletions. Extending this co-behavior analysis to the whole transcriptome data set enabled prediction of putative downstream genes. Additionally, combinations of transcriptome and metabolome data allowed identification of relationships between TFs and downstream responses, namely, expression changes in biosynthetic genes and subsequent metabolic responses. Effect chains on glucosinolate and polyamine biosynthesis are discussed in detail. The knowledge gained from this study provides a blueprint for an integrated analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics and application for the identification of uncharacterized genes. Arabidopsis seedlings were grown in 30 mL of sterile liquid full nutrition (FN) medium (3 mM sulphate) or 150 M-NM-<M sulphate medium. Transferring pre-grown 7-days old seedlings to a sulphate depleted medium (0 M-NM-<M sulphate) assured immediate and continued sulphate starvation during the next two days of plant cultivation. On day 9 subsets of the sulphate depleted cultures were supplied with sulphate (500 M-NM-<M) and samples taken 30 min and 3 hours after re-supply. Four time points (full nutrition (FN), plants starved for 48 h (-S), plants re-supplied with sulphate for 30 minutes (30M-bM-^@M-^Y S) and plants re-supplied with sulphate for 3 hours (3 h S)) were subjected to the microarray analysis. Two biological repetitions of each sample were analyzed.

Project description:Recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has a poor prognosis with less than 1-year median survival. Platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) remains the first-line treatment for HNSCC. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis postulates that tumors are maintained by a self-renewing CSC population that is also capable of differentiating into non-self renewing cell populations that constitute the bulk of the tumor. A small population of CSCs exists within HNSCC that are relatively resistant to chemotherapy and clinically predicted to mediate tumor recurrence. These CSCs are identified by high cell-surface expression of CD44 and high intracellular activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and termed ALDHhighCD44high. We investigated the molecular pathways active in ALDHhighCD44high cells, which remain poorly studied. Additionally, we performed a molecular examination of cisplatin-resistant ALDHhighCD44high cells, which has not been reported. Two HNSCC cell lines, UM-SCC-1 and UM-SCC-22b, were utilized in this study. For microarray analysis, UM-SCC-22b cells were treated for 5 days in vitro with 2uM cisplatin and analyzed by flow cytometry, sorted and submitted for microarray analysis of ALDHhighCD44high and ALDHlowCD44low cells from untreated and cisplatin treated cells. Four separate flow cytometry experiments were performed using Affymetrix Human Gene ST 2.1 microarrays. Microarray data was analyzed using R/Bioconductor. Files were preprocessed by Robust Multiarray Average (RMA) with background substraction, quantile normalization, and median polish (oligo package). Data was fitted with robust probe level linear models to all the probesets (oligo package). Experiment and processing batch differences were accounted for using 'ComBat' within the SVA package. Differentially expressed genes were identified using univariate comparisons after fitting data to a linear model (limma package). Initial statistics were determined using an empirical Bayesian model. Multiple testing comparisons were adjusted using Benjamini and Hochberg (aka FDR). Probes with an adjusted p-value <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering with complete linkage and Euclidean distance was performed on only statistically significant probes. In four separate experiments, the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line UM-SCC-22b were cultured for 5 days with or without 2uM (micromolar) cisplatin in 6-well plates. Media was replaced every other day. Control and cisplatin treated cells were trypsinized, procesed, and stained for CD44 cell-surface expression and intracellular aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity to identify cancer stem cells (ALDH+CD44+). CSCs and non-CSCs (ALDH-CD44-) were collected by flow cytometry from both groups. Total RNA was collected from each fraction (ALDH+CD44+, ALDH-CD44-), treatment (control, cisplatin), and experiment (#1-4). A total of 16 samples were analyzed. One set of 4 (experiment #4) were analyzed on a Human Gene ST 2.1 strip and the rest on a Human Gene ST 2.1 plate. Differential gene expression was determined with R/Bioconductor with Robust Multiarray Average (RMA) and fitting the data to linear models (limma). Experimental and processing batch effects were accounted for using ComBat. Four sets of univariate comparisons were made: 1) Cisplatin ALDH+CD44+ vs Control ALDH+CD44+; 2) Control ALDH+CD44+ vs Control ALDH-CD44-; 3) Cisplatin ALDH+CD44+ vs Cisplatin ALDH-CD44-; 4) Cisplatin ALDH-CD44- vs Control ALDH-CD44-. Multiple testing comparisons were adjusted using Benjamini and Hochberg (aka FDR). Probes with an adjusted p-value <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
