Interleukin-10 is a negative regulatory factor of CAWS-vasculitis in CBA/J mice

ABSTRACT: The gene expression difference between CBA/J and DBA/2 mice after the injection of CAWS (Candida albicans water-soluble fraction) was compared using an oligo-DNA microarray. CAWS was injected into CBA/J and DBA/2 mice. 21 days after the injection, RNA was extracted from the splenocytes and measured using the mouse oligo-DNA 10K micoarray.

Candida albicans water-soluble fraction (CAWS), a mannoprotein-beta-glucan complex obtained from the culture supernatant of C. albicans NBRC1385, exhibits vasculitis-inducing activity (CAWS-vasculitis) in mice. The sensitivity to CAWS-vasculitis varies greatly among mouse strains. This study examined the factors contributing to or inhibiting CAWS-vasculitis using CAWS-vasculitis-resistant CBA/J mice and Bruton's tyrosine kinase-deficient CBA/N mice, which is a CAWS-vasculitis-sensitive strain th ...[more]

Project description:We used aCGH data for detailed analysis of the natural killer gene complex (NKC) of multiple inbred strains, providing insight both into aCGH analysis of polymorphic gene clusters as well as structural information on the NKC itself. By unsupervised clustering analysis, the aCGH data can be precisely correlated with overall genome structural variation of the NKC as detected by RFLP variants in retrospective and prospective analyses. On a high resolution level, aCGH could be used to detect a small deletion within an NKC gene that is confined to only one mouse strain examined out of 22. The NKC region on mouse chromosome 6 is known to be an area with structural variation based on studies which reveal restriction fragment length polymorphic (RFLP) variants among inbred mouse strains. To verify predictive power of the unsupervised clustering algorithms, we prospectively collected aCGH data from two strains of mice (CBA/J, and NZW/LacJ) that were not among the original 20 strains (GEO accession # GSE10656) analyzed but represented strains whose Ly49 and Nkrp1 RFLP had been determined previously. We performed comparative genomic hybridization using a long-oligonucleotide array containing 2,149,887 probes evenly spaced across the reference genome with a median inter-probe spacing of 1,015 bases. Labeling, hybridization, washing, and array imaging were performed as previously described (PMID:18334530). To capture the variability along chromosome 6, the log2 signal ratios were organized into bins (a defined chromosome length in terms of bp). The entire chromosome was divided into consecutive bins, beginning with the position of the first probe. We used the variance of each bin to represent the variability along the chromosome. We performed two types of unsupervised clustering analysis of the log2 ratios of signal intensities of each probe (normalized). One is the non-hierarchical clustering using the partitioning among medoids (PAM) function as implemented in R's 'cluster' package. The other is the agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on the Euclidean distance. The average linkage method was used in clustering the strains as implemented in the hclust function in R's 'cluster' package.

Project description:Field-selected tolerance to heavy metals has been reported for Orchesella cincta (Arthropoda: Collembola) populations occurring at metal-contaminated mining sites. This tolerance is correlated with heritable increase of metal excretion efficiency; less pronounce cadmium induced growth reduction and, over-expression of the metallothionein gene. We applied transcriptomics to determine differential gene expression caused by this abiotic stress in reference and cadmium tolerant populations. Many cDNAs responded to cadmium exposure in a reference population. Significantly fewer clones were cadmium responsive in tolerant animals. Analysis of variance revealed transcripts that interact between cadmium exposure and population. Hierarchical clustering of these clones revealed two major groups. The first one contained cDNAs that were up regulated by cadmium in the reference culture, but non-responsive or down regulated in tolerant animals. This cluster was also characterized by elevated constitutive expression in the tolerant population. Gene ontology analysis revealed that these cDNAs were involved in structural integrity of the cuticle, anti-microbial defense, calcium-channel blocking, neurotransmitter transport, chromatin remodeling and, endoplasmatic vesicle activity. The second group consisted of cDNAs down regulated in reference animals but not responding or slightly up regulated in tolerant animals. Their functions involved carbohydrate metabolic processes, Ca2+ dependent stress signaling, proteolysis and digestion. The reference population showed a strong signature of stress-induced genome-wide perturbation of gene expression, whereas the tolerant animals maintained normal gene expression upon cadmium exposure. We confirmed the micro-evolutionary processes occurring in soil arthropod populations and suggest a major contribution of gene regulation to the evolution of a stress-adapted phenotype. Orchesella cincta (Collembola) from the laboratory population (LC) at the department of Animal Ecology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam were taken as the reference group. This population originated from a pine forest from the reference area (Roggebotzand, the Netherlands, latitude N = 52 º 34’17’’, longitude E = 5 º 47’56’’) that contains on average < 0.5 μg cadmium per gram litter and humus. Tolerant animals were collected from randomly selected litter samples at two areas of the abandoned, but still heavily polluted lead/zinc mining site of Plombières (Belgium, latitude N = 50˚44’03’’, longitude E = 5˚58’02’’): the locations contain an average cadmium concentration between 10 and 52 μg.g-1 soil (Lock et al. 2003; Sterenborg 2003; Van Straalen et al. 1987). To diminish putative environmental effects from the field the animals were reared in a climate room (20°C, 75% humidity, LD 12 h:12 h) in PVC jars on a moist plaster of Paris layer feeding on algae present on twigs for at least three generations before experimental treatment. Animals were exposed to cadmium (nominal concentration of 112,4 μg cadmium.g-1 dry algae) for 3 days, directly after molting, via algal food. Control groups received the same treatment except that water was spiked into the algal food instead of cadmium solution. The cadmium exposure concentration is two times the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) for reproduction in chronically exposed animals. Total RNA was extracted from times 12 pooled animals per treatment using SV Total RNA Isolation system (Promega) and quantified on a Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Nanodrop Technologies). Total RNA was visualized on a 1.5% agarose gel to verify its integrity. Each experimental group (pool of 12 animals) was replicated 8 times. Dyes were swapped between biological replicates: 4 Cy-3 labeled replicates and 4 Cy-5 lebeled replicates per experimental group Microarray experiment was designed in a closed loop Lab culture clean vs Cd, Lab culture Cd vs Tolerant culture Cd, Tolerant culture Cd vs Tolerant culture clean, Tolerant culture clean vs lab culture clean

Project description:Vitamin D is the strongest known natural anti-proliferative. A large number of studies in a wide spectrum of cancers, including epidemiological, in vitro and animal models, demonstrate that the active form of Vitamin D has anti-cancer benefits, affecting both progression and metastasis. Alike the role in calcium Vitamin D regulation, its anti-proliferative effect is thought to function through the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), although convincing evidence is lacking. Notwithstanding, separation of the calcemic and the anti-proliferative activity of Vitamin D analogues has been a major obstacle in developing new drugs for the treatment of cancer. The work presented attempts to unveil the molecular mechanism behind the anti-proliferative action of Vitamin D using genomic tools. For that purpose four independently developed Vitamin D sensitive/resistant MCF7 cell line pairs were collected. These unique biological replicates enabled us, both to increase the power of our study and to omit the use of Vitamin D. We deem this omission crucial since in the presence of Vitamin D only downstream genes involved in proliferation and cell cycle would be identified rather than causal resistance genes. The use of a variety of genomic techniques including expression, NMD and oligo CGH arrays reveal in the resistant cell lines the 11q13-14 as a region of DNA copy number loss and an altered expression of EGFR signaling pathway genes. Surprisingly, no genes known from calcium Vitamin D regulation were identified, nor did the VDR silencing by RNAi induce resistance to the sensitive cell lines. Keywords: Expression microarray, cell type comparision Several MCF7 breast tumor cell lines independently derived from the human breast cancer cell line, both resistant and sensitive to Vitamin D, were used. The pairs of cell lines (parental-resistant) were developed in different laboratories and using different methodologies; while some cell lines acquired resistance by long exposure to the physiological concentration of Vitamin D (100nM), others were induced to resistant by being exposed to increasing amounts of Vitamin D. A total of 14 microarray expression experiments were carried out, including four biological replicates and 10 technical replicates including dye swaps. In all microarray experiments RNA from the Vitamin D resistant cell line was hybrizided agains RNA from the respsective sensitive/parental cell line.
