Project description:BACKGROUND: Phthalates are manmade industrial additives used mostly as plasticizers. In addition to their deleterious effects on male genital development, population studies have recently documented correlations between phthalates exposure and subtle impacts on reproductive tract development and on the metabolic syndrome in male adults. In mature rodents liver di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) activates the peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPARalpha), a member of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily. OBJECTIVES: Using a systems biology approach, we aimed at defining potential mechanisms underlying the impacts of DEHP on adult mouse liver and testis. METHODS: Thus, we performed a parallel analysis of transcript and metabolic profiles in the liver from adult mice exposed to varying DEHP doses. Moreover, we obtained pangenomic mRNA profiles of laser-captured Leydig and Sertoli cells from mature animals exposed to DEHP. RESULTS: Hepatic genes modulated by DEHP are predominantly PPARalpha targets. However, the induction of some prototypic cytochrome P450 genes strongly supports the activation of additional NR pathways. Integration of hepatic transcriptomic and metabonomic profiles further revealed a correlation between the impacts of DEHP on a cluster of genes and metabolites linked to heme synthesis and on a cluster of Rev-erbalpha target genes related to metabolic and circadian clock pathways. Cell-specific effects of DEHP were investigated in the adult testis and a noticeable impact of DEHP was observed on Leydig cells transcriptome. CONCLUSIONS: We report a detailed analysis of DEHP interference with hepatic Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) and Rev-erbalpha pathways and a novel transcriptional impact of DEHP on adult endocrine cells of the testis. Experiment Overall Design: two condition experiment, Sertoli cells-rich areas from DEHP-treated mice vs. Sertoli cells-rich areas from vehicle-treated mice. Biological replicates: 4 DEHP-treated samples and 4 vehicle-treated samples. Dye-swap design. N=4 DEHP-treated vs vehicle-treated x 2 microarrays (dye-swap)=8 microarrays

Project description:The goal was to obtain the differential transcriptome in the deep cones between shallow and deep wounds and between the Yorkshire and Duroc breeds over time. We made shallow and deep wounds on the backs of 3 Yorkshire and 3 Duroc pigs, biopsied the wounds at 1 2 3 12 and 20 weeks, extracted and amplified the RNA from the deep cones, and hybridized the Affymetrix GeneChip®. We compared wound depth by breed over time; the system included 3 factors (depth, breed and time). The system also included repeated measures since the same pigs were used at each time. It also included paired data since the shallow and deep wounds compared were located on the same pig.

Project description:Investigating neuronal and photoreceptor regeneration in the retina of zebrafish has begun to yield insights into both the cellular and molecular means by which this lower vertebrate is able to repair its central nervous system. However, knowledge about the signaling molecules in the local microenvironment of a retinal injury and the transcriptional events they activate during neuronal death and regeneration is still lacking. To identify genes involved in photoreceptor regeneration, we combined light-induced photoreceptor lesions, laser-capture microdissection (LCM) of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) and analysis of gene expression to characterize transcriptional changes for cells in the ONL as photoreceptors die and are regenerated. Using this approach, we were able to characterize aspects of the molecular signature of injured and dying photoreceptors, cone photoreceptor progenitors and microglia within the ONL. We validated changes in gene expression and characterized the cellular expression for three novel, extracellular signaling molecules that we hypothesize are involved in regulating regenerative events in the retina. Experiment Overall Design: As a means to identify genes necessary for photoreceptor regeneration, we evaluated transcriptional changes for cells in the outer nuclear layer (ONL) as photoreceptors die and are regenerated. To accomplish this, we combined light-induced photoreceptor lesions, laser-capture microdissection (LCM) of the ONL and analysis of gene expression using oligonucleotide arrays.

Project description:To identify specific markers of rectovaginal endometriotic nodule vasculature, highly enriched preparations of vascular endothelial cells and pericytes were obtained from endometriotic nodules and control endometrial and myometrial tissue by laser capture microdissection (LCM), and gene expression profiles were screened by microarray analysis. Of the 18,400 transcripts on the arrays, 734 were significantly overexpressed in vessels from fibromuscular tissue and 923 in vessels from stromal tissue of endometriotic nodules, compared to vessels dissected from control tissues. The most frequently expressed transcripts included known endothelial cell-associated genes, as well as transcripts with little or no previous association with vascular cells. The higher expression in blood vessels was further corroborated by immunohistochemical staining of 6 potential markers, 5 of which showed strong expression in pericytes. The most promising marker was matrix Gla protein, which was found to be present in both glandular epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells of endometriotic lesions, while it was barely expressed at all in normal endometrium.

Project description:We investigated the transcriptome of dentate gyrus (DG) granule cells in postmortem hippocampus from 79 subjects with mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression) or non-psychiatric controls. Material for RNA-seq analysis was harvested from tissue slides using laser capture microdissection (LCM) and aRNA amplification. Equimolar amounts of triplicate aRNA samples for each of the 79 subjects were then pooled for the preparation of sequencing libraries. Sequencing libraries were prepared using Applied Biosystem's Total RNA Sequencing Kit, following the directions for Whole Transcriptome Libraries, and analyzed with an Applied Biosystems SOLiD 4 high-throughput sequencer. We compared the performance of different normalization methods (length normalization vs. noise reductin scaling), and assembled evidence for dysruption of signaling by the micro RNA miR-182 in subjects with major depression and schizophrenia.

Project description:Phthalates are industrial additives widely used as plasticizers. In addition to deleterious effects on male genital development, population studies have documented correlations between phthalates exposure and impacts on reproductive tract development and on the metabolic syndrome in male adults. In this study we investigated potential mechanisms underlying the impact of di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) on adult mouse liver in vivo. A parallel analysis of hepatic transcript and metabolic profiles from adult mice exposed to varying DEHP doses was performed. Hepatic genes modulated by DEHP are predominantly PPARα targets. However, the induction of prototypic cytochrome P450 genes strongly supports the activation of additional NR pathways, including Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR). Integration of transcriptomic and metabonomic profiles revealed a correlation between the impacts of DEHP on genes and metabolites related to heme synthesis and on the Rev-erbα pathway that senses endogenous heme level. Keywords: Treatment effect One-color macroarrays, 4 experimental conditions: Control mice (vehicle treated), mice treated with di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) at 30 mg/kg/day (D30), 180 mg/kg/day (D180) or 1100 mg/kg/day (D1100) for 14 days, Biological replicates: 6 controls, 4 D30, 4 D180, 5 D1100, One replicate per array

Project description:Role of PPARalpha in the effects of DEHP on the hepatic expression of a selection of mouse genes related to nuclear receptor signaling. Di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer, is detected in consumerâs body fluids. Contamination occurs through environmental and food chain sources. In mouse liver, DEHP activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) and regulates the expression of its target genes. Several in vitro investigations support the simultaneous recruitment of additional nuclear receptor pathways. We investigated, in vivo, the hepatic impact of low doses of DEHP on PPARalpha activation, and the putative activation of additional signalling pathways. Wild-type and PPARalpha-deficient mice were exposed to different doses of DEHP. Gene expression profiling delineated the role of PPARalpha and revealed a PPARalpha-independent regulation of several prototypic Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) target genes. This finding demonstrates that CAR also represents a transcriptional regulator sensitive to phthalates. CAR-mediated effects of DEHP provide a new rationale for most endpoints of phthalates toxicity described previously, including endocrine disruption, hepatocarcinogenesis and the metabolic syndrome. Keywords: Treatment effect One-color macroarrays, 6 experimental conditions: Wild type (WT) and PPARalpha-deficient mice (PPAR) were treated with vehicle (Ctrl) or with di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) at 20 mg/kg/day (D20) or 200 mg/kg/day (D200) for 21 days, Biological replicates: 10 for each group, One replicate per array

Project description:Primitive erythropoiesis in the mouse yolk sac is followed by definitive erythropoiesis resulting in adult erythrocytes. In comparison to definitive erythropoiesis little is known about the genes that control the embryonic erythroid program. The purpose of this study was to generate a profile of mouse embryonic yolk sac erythroid cells and identify novel regulatory genes differentially expressed in erythroid compared to non-erythroid (epithelial cells). The identification of these genes will contribute to a greater understanding of how the primitive erythroid program is controlled. This work will have clinical implications for treating sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia. Activating genes in adult erythroid cells that increase embryonic or fetal globin gene expression may be a therapeutic approach to treat individuals with these disorders. Experiment Overall Design: Embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5) yolk sacs were dissected from the embryos of timed-pregnant FVB/N mice. These tissues were frozen in OCT media and 8-micron frozen sections were obtained. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate primitive erythroid precursors and epithelial cells from these E9.5 yolk sac frozen sections using 2 to 4 yolk sacs from 2 different litters per biological replicate. Paired erythroid and epithelial samples were collected from the same microscope slides. Total RNA was isolated from 4 different pairs of erythroid and epithelial samples and hybridized to Affymetrix 430 A 2.0 microarrays.
