Project description:Gene expression analysis of peripheral blood leukocytes (PB MNCs) to develop expression profiles that accurately reflect prior radiation exposure. Keywords: Comparative, exposure dosage, C57BI6 Murine Irradiation Studies We have made use of gene expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB MNCs) to develop expression profiles that accurately reflect prior radiation exposure. Importantly, we demonstrate that expression profiles can be developed that not only predict radiation exposure in mice but also distinguish the level of radiation exposure, ranging from 50 cGy to 1000 cGy. Likewise, a molecular signature of radiation response developed solely from irradiated human patient samples can predict and distinguish irradiated human PB samples from non-irradiated samples with an accuracy of 90%, sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 94%. We further demonstrate that a radiation profile developed in the mouse can correctly distinguish PB samples from irradiated and non-irradiated human patients with an accuracy of 77%, sensitivity of 82% and specificity of 75%. Taken together, these data demonstrate that molecular profiles can be generated which are highly predictive of different levels of radiation exposure in mice and humans. Mouse Dataset only

Project description:Dysfunction of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a frequent cause of hereditary forms of muscular dystrophy. Although DGC function in maintaining skeletal muscle integrity has been well characterized, little is known about how the DGC complex is coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level. To test this hypothesis, we engineered HDAC4 stably overexpressing and control myotubes in an in vitro model of muscle differentiation. Here we present evidence that HDAC4, a neural activity-responsive histone deacetylase, is a critical transcriptional regulator of the DGC complex. We show that HDAC4 can repress multiple components of the DGC complex, including dystrophin and sarcoglycan family members in both cultured myotubes. To confirm this finding, the protein levels of core DGC complex members including dystrophin, sarcoglycan complex members, and additional dystrophin-associated proteins were evaluated in differentiated myotubes by western analysis. C2C12 mouse myotubes were infected with either a HDAC4 expressing or control (Neo) retroviruses. After stable selection, myotubes were differentiated at 90% confluency in 2% horse serum (Hyclone) for 4 days. At this time point, RNA was extracted and the two types of cells compared in a microarray analysis.

Project description:All metazoan eukaryotes express microRNAs (miRNAs), ~22 nt long regulatory RNAs that can repress the expression of mRNAs bearing complementary sequences. Several DNA viruses also express miRNAs in infected cells, suggesting a role in viral replication and pathogenesis. While specific viral miRNAs have been shown to autoregulate viral mRNAs or downregulate cellular mRNAs via novel target sites, the function of the majority of viral miRNAs remains unknown. Here, we report that the miR-K12-11 miRNA encoded by Kaposi’s Sarcoma Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) shows significant homology to cellular miR-155, including the entire miRNA “seed” region. Using a range of assays, we demonstrate that expression of physiological levels of miRK12- 11 or miR-155 results in the downregulation of an extensive set of common mRNA targets, including genes with known roles in cell growth regulation. Our findings indicate that viral miR-K12-11 functions as an ortholog of cellular miR-155 and has likely evolved to exploit a pre-existing gene regulatory pathway in B-cells. Moreover, the known etiological role of miR-155 in B-cell transformation suggests the possibility that miR-K12-11 may contribute to the induction of KSHV positive B-cell tumors in infected patients. BJAB cells were infected and sorted 48 hours after infection. 12 to 16 days after transduction, gene expression analysis of 10 independent BJAB cell pools, expressing AcGFP only or AcGPF and miR-K12-11, was performed using Human Operon v3.0.2 arrays. Each ample was run against Universal Human Reference RNA, Stratagene. # of Arrays: BJAB = 3 AcGFP only = 10 AcGFP miR-K12-11 = 11

Project description:HDFs were cultured for 24 hrs for adhesion and to reach 50-70% confluence before mechanical tension was applied. Cyclic mechanical stretch (CMS) with a 0.5-Hz sinusoidal curve at 10-20% elongation was applied using a Flexcell○RFX-5000TM Tension System during the stretching. Cells were harvested immediately after the application of CMS stimulation was completed. Control cells were cultured on the same plates in the same incubator with no stretching.

Project description:PUF family proteins are among the best characterized regulatory RNA-binding proteins in non-mammalian species, but relatively little is known about mRNA targets or functions of mammalian PUF proteins. In this study, we used ribonomic analysis to identify and analyze mRNAs associated with ribonucleoproteins containing an endogenous human PUF protein, Pum1. Pum1 associated mRNAs were highly enriched for genes encoding proteins that function in transcriptional regulation and cell cycle/proliferation, results consistent with the post-transcriptional RNA regulon model and the proposed ancestral functions of PUF proteins in stem cell biology. Analysis of 3’UTR sequences of Pum1 associated mRNAs revealed a core Pum1 consensus sequence, UGUAHAUA. Pum1 knockdown demonstrated that Pum1 enhances decay of associated mRNAs, and re-localization of Pum1 to stress granules suggested that Pum1 functions in repression of translation. This study is the first in vivo genome-wide mRNA target identification of a mammalian PUF protein and provides direct evidence that human PUF proteins regulate stability of associated mRNAs. Comparison of Pum1 associated mRNAs to mRNA targets of PUF proteins from S. cerevisiae and Drosophila demonstrates how a well conserved RNA-binding domain and cognate binding sequence have been evolutionarily rewired to regulate the collective expression of different sets of functionally related genes. Pum1 IP, negative IP, and total IP samples were analyzed for each of 3 biological replicates. Each IP or total RNA sample was run on a separate array versus a common reference sample

Project description:ABSTRACT Background: Viral myocarditis is a life-threatening illness that may lead to heart failure or cardiac arrhythmias. This study examined whether human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) could be used to model the pathogenic processes of coxsackievirus-induced viral myocarditis and to screen antiviral therapeutics for efficacy. Methods and Results: Human iPSC-CMs were infected with a luciferase-expressing mutant of the coxsackievirus B3 strain (CVB3-Luc). Brightfield microscopy, immunofluorescence, and calcium imaging were used to characterize virally infected hiPSC-CMs. Viral proliferation on hiPSC-CMs was subsequently quantified using bioluminescence imaging. For drug screening, select antiviral compounds including interferon beta 1 (IFNβ1), ribavirin, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), and fluoxetine were tested for their capacity to abrogate CVB3-Luc proliferation in hiPSC-CMs in vitro. The ability of some of these compounds to reduce CVB3-Luc proliferation in hiPSC-CMs was consistent with the reported drug effects in previous studies. Finally, mechanistic analyses via gene expression profiling of hiPSC-CMs infected with CVB3-Luc revealed an activation of viral RNA and protein clearance pathways within these hiPSC-CMs after IFNβ1 treatment. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that hiPSC-CMs express the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor, are susceptible to coxsackievirus infection, and can be used to confirm antiviral drug efficacy. Our results suggest that the hiPSC-CM/CVB3-Luc assay is a sensitive platform that could be used to screen novel antiviral therapeutics for their effectiveness in a high-throughput fashion. For this experiment, human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes were infected with coxsackievirus at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 for 8 hours. Cells were treated with and without interferon beta 1 in order to determine if treatment activates antiviral response genes and/or viral clearance pathways. 4 total samples (2 for each condition) were analyzed

Project description:Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB) gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures. We have sought to determine the impact of several variables on the PB gene expression profile of an environmental exposure, ionizing radiation, and to determine the specificity of the PB signature of radiation versus other genotoxic stresses. Keywords: peripheral blood, gene expression study, radiation reponse We have sought to determine the impact of several variables on the PB gene expression profile of an environmental exposure, ionizing radiation, and to determine the specificity of the PB signature of radiation versus other genotoxic stresses. Neither genotype differences nor the time of PB sampling caused any lessening of the accuracy of PB signatures to predict radiation exposure, but sex difference did influence the accuracy of the prediction of radiation exposure at the lowest level (50 cGy). A PB signature of sepsis was also generated and both the PB signature of radiation and the PB signature of sepsis were found to be 100% specific at distinguishing irradiated from septic animals. We also identified human PB signatures of radiation exposure and chemotherapy treatment which distinguished irradiated patients and chemotherapy-treated individuals within a heterogeneous population with accuracies of 90% and 81%, respectively. Human and Murine samples used in models Peripheral blood was collected from patients prior to and 6 hrs following total body irradiation with 150 to 200 cGy as part of their pre-transplantation conditioning. For additional comparison, peripheral blood was obtained from healthy volunteers and an additional cohort of patients prior to and 6 hrs following the initiation of alkylator-based chemotherapy alone (without radiotherapy).
