Project description:To evaluate wether miRNA expression patterns contributes to obesity total RNA were purified from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT)and used in miRNA microarrays. Platform contain LNA-modified probes for all human miRNAs present in release 8.2 of the miRBase microRNA Registry. Two RNA pools from 3 non obese men (CM) and from 5 non obese women (CW) were used as controls. Expression profiling revealed that a large set of miRNAs is expressed in SAT. Forty two miRNAs changed by at least 1.5 folds in 17/20 obese subjects versus non obese control pool. Particularly, 21/42 were up-regulated and 21/42 were down-regulated. Among the differentially expressed miRNA, miR-519d, miR-498 and miR-150 were up-regulated, miR-659 and miR-371-3p_MM2 were down-regulated consistently in 20/20 obese subjects. To search for miRNAs eventually associated with obesity we used a microarray to evaluate the expression of 1458 different miRNAs in 10 obese women (OBW) and 10 obese men (OBM). Two RNA pools from 3 non obese men (CM) and from 5 non obese women (CW) were used as controls.

Project description:The fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) is a small fish species widely used for ecotoxicology research and regulatory testing in North America. This study used a 2000 gene oligonucleotide microarray to evaluate the effects of the aromatase inhibitor, fadrozole, on gene expression in the liver and brain tissue of exposed females. Reproductive measures, plasma vitellogenin, and gene expression data for the brain isoform of aromatase (CYP19B), vitellogenin precursors, and transferrin all provided evidence supporting the efficacy of the fadrozole exposure. Unsupervised analysis of the microarray results identified 20 genes in brain and 41 in liver as significantly up-regulated and 7 genes in brain and around 45 in liver as significantly down-regulated. Differentially expressed genes were associated with a broad spectrum of biological functions, many with no obvious relationship to aromatase inhibition. However, in brain, fadrozole exposure elicited significant up-regulation of several genes involved in the cholesterol synthesis, suggesting it as one potentially impacted pathway. Gene ontology-based analysis of expression changes in liver suggested overall down-regulation of protein biosynthesis. While real-time PCR analyses supported some of the microarray responses, others could not be verified. Overall, results of this study provide a foundation for developing novel hypotheses regarding the system-wide effects of fadrozole, and other chemical stressors with similar modes of action, on fish biology.

Project description:Dinoflagellates have evolved a nuclear organization unlike that of any other eukaryotic group. Recent studies find a predominance of post-transcriptional control of dinoflagellate gene expression. This study investigated regulation of the environmental stress response in the red tide dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis using an Agilent custom oligonucleotide microarray. K. brevis cultures were exposed to 5°C or 10°C heat shock, or three different sources of oxidative stress: 60 µM H2O2, 10 mM NaNO2, or 12 µM PbCl2 over acute time courses. Ribosomal genes, genes involved in RNA processing, translation, and chaperones were among the classes of genes consistently downregulated across treatments, although within these functional classes the same genes did not always respond to different stressors. Genes involved in the photosystem and mitochondrial and chloroplast ATP generation dominated the down-regulated genes. Heat shock and oxidative stress response genes were not induced under any treatment, even under conditions that resulted in decreased viability. We subsequently identified the presence of a trans-spliced leader sequence on many stress response gene transcripts, which suggests that they may be transcribed constitutively and their expression regulated at the level of translation. Cultures of were grown to mid-log phase. For each treatment, five replicate untreated control cultures and five replicate treated cultures were harvested at several time points following treatment. The following time courses were used: 5°C heat shock - 5, 15, 30, 60, and 240 min; 10°C heat shock - 60 min; 60 µM H2O2 - 5, 15, 30, 60, and 240 min; 10 mM NaNO2 -1, 4, and 7 hours; 12 µM PbCl2 -1, 4, and 7 hours. For each treatment, RNA was pooled from the controls and treated cultures at each timepoint. Two color arrays were then run comparing each the transcriptome at timepoint with the pooled control for that treatment. A technical dye swap array was run at each timepoint.

Project description:Azaspiracid-1 (AZA-1) is a marine phycotoxin that accumulates in shellfish and known to cause severe gastrointestinal intoxications in humans. As the mechanism of action of AZA-1 is currently unknown, human DNA microarrays were used to profile gene expression in human lymphocyte T cells following AZA-1 exposure. Highly significant early (1 hr) genes consisted of a T cell specific transcription factor, membrane proteins, receptors, and inflammatory genes. At 4 hr, responding genes included transcription factors and cell growth genes, in addition to 16 genes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. Similarly, at 24 hr, 17 of the top 35 signature genes were involved in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. Gene Map Annotator and Pathway Profiler software confirmed cell signaling effects targeted toward lipid biosynthesis pathways. The transcriptional profile induced by AZA-1 shared high similarity to expression profiles of in vitro cholesterol synthesis inhibitor studies and in vitro and in vivo cholesterol synthesis gene knockout studies, suggesting a common transcriptional response and possible mechanism of action. Experiment Overall Design: Time course experiment comparing AZA treatment gene expression to vehicle control. Parallel cultures of cells (n=2) were exposed to AZA or vehicle control for 1, 4, 24hr and harvested for RNA extraction. dye swaps were used for the replicate time points. Experiment Overall Design: Log Ratio data are listed as Log10.

Project description:Among fos family genes modulating the cell fates such as cell proliferation, differentiation and cell death, only the fosB gene produces two forms of mature mRNA for FosB and deltaFosB proteins by alternative splicing of an exonic intron in the exon 4. FosB dramatically enhances the transcription regulation of AP-1 dependent promoters by Jun, while deltaFosB, a truncated form of FosB lacking its C-terminal transactivation domain, suppresses the function of Jun. We and other have shown that FosB and deltaFosB have a distinct function to control the cell fate as well as neuronal functions based on their exogenous expression. To elucidate the authentic function of each protein, it is essential to control each expression separately. We established a mutant mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line carrying homozygous fosBd/d alleles which encode exclusively deltaFosB, and compared its gene expression profile and phenotypes with fosB-null and wild-type ES cell lines. Both mutant ES cells are devoid of FosB, therefore the common phenotypes between the two mutant ES cells in comparison to wild type depict the effects of FosB deficiency. Opposite phenotypes between the two are considered to be determined by deltaFosB itself. We analyzed the gene expression and cellular function among these two mutant and wild-type ES cells. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified from ES cells grown in the absence of feeder cells using the Isogen kit (Nippon Gene), according to the manufacturerâs instructions. For DNA microarray experiments, Total RNA (10 microg) were labeled using the Agilent Linear Amplification/Labeling Kit (Agilent Technologies) according to the manufacturer's instructions. One microgram of each Cy3-labeled wild-type and Cy5-labeled mutant cDNA or each Cy3-labeled mutant and Cy5-labeled wild-type cDNA, respectively, were mixed, then hybridized to Agilent Mouse cDNA Microarrays (G4104A, design file number: 000522R000679, Agilent Technologies) with 8500 unique clones from Incyteâs mouse UniGene 1 clone set, according to the manufacturer's hybridization protocol. After the washing step, the microarray slides were analyzed with an Agilent G2565AA microarray scanner system. These experiments were carried out in duplicate using exchanged dye-labeled cDNA probes (i.e., Cy3 and Cy5 dye-swapping experiments).

Project description:Ciguatoxins (CTX) are polyether neurotoxins responsible for ciguatera, the most common fish-borne food poisoning in humans. This study characterizes the global transcriptional response of mouse liver to a symptomatic dose (0.26 ng/g) of the highly potent Pacific ciguatoxin-1 (P-CTX-1). At 1 h post exposure 2.4% of features on a 44K whole genome array were differentially expressed (p � 0.0001), increasing to 5.2% at 4 h and decreasing to 1.4% by 24 h post-CTX exposure. Early gene expression was likely influenced prominently by an acute 4 °C decline in core body temperature by 1 h, which resolved by 8 h following exposure. Cytochrome P450s were of particular interest due to their role in xenobiotic metabolism. Twenty-seven genes, mostly members of Cyp2 and Cyp4 families, showed significant changes in expression. Many Cyps underwent an initial down-regulation at 1 h but were quickly and strongly up-regulated at 4 and 24 h post exposure. In addition to Cyps, increases in several glutathione S-transferases were observed, an indication that both phase I and phase II metabolic reactions are involved in the hepatic response to CTX in mice. Experiment Overall Design: Individual C57/BL6 mice (n=3) exposed to 0.26 ng/g P-CTX-1 ip for 1, 4, or 24 h were compared to pooled time-matched controls (n=3). The triplicate arrays at each time point included a dye swap.

Project description:The human pathogen Helicobacter pylori (Hp) colonizes the gastric epithelium as a unique niche in the stomach. Infections commonly occur in childhood and persist lifelong, leading in some cases to adenocarcinoma and MALT lymphoma. Several studies define mammalian microRNAs as key regulators of the immune system and of carcinogenesis processes. Here, we show Hp infection induces miR-155 expression in epithelial and hematopoietic cells in vitro and in vivo. This induction is mediated by at least two main bacterial virulence factors, the vacuolating toxin (VacA) and the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) in an LPS independent manner. Using adenylate cyclases agonists and inhibitor, we demonstrated that the miR-155 microRNA regulatory cascade in Hp infection involves the second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Furthermore, the study showed that a knock-down of the Foxp3 transcription factor in T cells abolishes miR-155 expression. Together, these findings are the first demonstration of a direct interconnection between the regulatory T cell development factor Foxp3 and a microRNA. This study supports the link between Hp infection, regulation of cellular immunity, inflammation and cancer development. A color-swap dye reversal experimental setting was applied. Ratio profiles comprising single hybridizations were combined in an error-weighted fashion to create ratio experiments. A two-fold change expression cut off for ratio experiments was applied together with anti-correlation of ratio profiles rendering the microarray analysis set highly significant (P-value > 0.01), robust and reproducible.

Project description:Down syndrome (DS), caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, affects 1 in 750 live births and is characterised by cognitive impairment and a constellation of congenital defects. Currently, little is known about the molecular pathogenesis and no direct genotype-phenotype relationship has yet been confirmed. Since DS amniocytes are expected to have a distinct biological behaviour compared to normal amniocytes, we hypothesise that relative quantification of proteins produced from trisomy and euploid (chromosomally normal) amniocytes will reveal dysregulated molecular pathways. Chromosomally normal- and Trisomy 21-amniocytes were quantitatively analyzed by using Stable Isotope Labeling of Amino acids in Cell culture and tandem mass spectrometry. The most extensive proteome of amniocytes and amniotic fluid has been generated and differentially expressed proteins from amniocytes with Trisomy 21 revealed molecular pathways that seem to be most significantly affected by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. Mass spectra were analyzed using Mascot (version 2.2, Matrix Science), executing a spectral search against a concatenated International Protein Index (IPI) human protein database (version 3.54 containing 39,925 entries) and a decoy database. Parameters included: trypsin enzyme specificity, SILAC double measurements of Lys6 and Arg8, 1 missed cleavage, minimum peptide length of 7 amino acids, minimum of 1 unique peptide, top 6 MS/MS peaks per 100 Da, peptide mass tolerance of 20 ppm for precursor ion and MS/MS tolerance of 0.5 Da. Oxidation of methionine and N-terminal protein acetylation for variable modifications and cysteine caramidomethylation for fixed modification. All entries were filtered using a false positive rate of 1% both at the peptide and protein levels, and false positives were removed. Quantification via normalised H/L ratios was based on minimum of 3 peptide ratio counts. Protein group entries with a normalised ratio significance B score of =< 0.05 or significance A score of =< 0.05 were retained for further analysis.
