Gene expression in hepatocytes and bile ducts from ANIT-treated rats

ABSTRACT: Acute toxic responses to a single 50 mg/kg oral dose of 1-napthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) were evaluated by microarray analysis of laser capture-microdissected rat biliary epithelium or hepatic parenchyma at 2 and 6 hours post-dose. Selective and dramatic differences between the biliary epithelium and the hepatic parenchyma were evident as soon as 2 hours at which time 375 genes were altered in biliary epithelium, but only a nominal 38 genes were altered in the hepatic parenchyma. Gene expression analysis revealed increased expression of genes involved in the unfolded protein response and ER stress in biliary epithelial cells, but no alteration of these genes in hepatocytes. By 6 hours post dose, 620 genes showed altered expression in biliary epithelium while there were only 32 genes altered in hepatic parenchyma. At this timepoint, analysis of the biliary epithelium revealed decreased expression of genes involved in the unfolded protein response compared to the 2 hour time point, and increased expression at 6 hours of genes involved in protein degradation such as proteasome-ubquination pathways, and genes associated with cell death. Our analysis revealed early loss of biliary epithelial integrity and attempts at repair of damage with subsequent activation of protein degradation and cell fate decisions leading to death pathways within a 6 hour time course. During this same time interval, hepatic parenchymal gene expression changed little and mainly reflected a decrease in enterohepatic circulation of bile acids and an increase in ribosomal proteins which may signal an adaptive change to reduced bile acid delivery to the liver and an increased demand for bile acids and glutathione-mediated transport of ANIT. This versatile approach provides a precise evaluation of distinct cell populations, biliary epithelium and hepatic parenchyma, in situ. (Cullen et.al., Toxicologic Pathology 2010) Rat were exposed to a single dose of 1-napthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) or vehicle. Laser capture-microdissection was used to isolate rat biliary epithelium or hepatic parenchyma at 2 and 6 hours post-dose. Affymetrix GeneChips and Rosetta Resolver were used to determine differential gene expression.

Project description:COPD is a common and disabling lung disease for which very few therapeutic options are currently available. We reasoned that global gene expression profiling of COPD lungs could reveal previously unidentified disease pathways for potential therapeutic interventions. Forty-eight human lung samples were obtained from lungs or lobes resected for small peripheral lung lesions (5 non-smokers, 21 GOLD 0, 9 GOLD 1, 10 GOLD 2 and 3 GOLD 3 patients). mRNA from the specimens was profiled using Agilent’s Functional ID v2.0 array which contains 23,720 sequences. Quantitative morphometric analysis of the specimens revealed that the samples contained a variable proportion of airways, blood vessels and parenchyma. Incorporating these data into a model relating gene expression to % predicted forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of forced expiratory volume (FEF 25-75 % P) revealed a signature gene set of 203 transcripts. Genes involved in extracellular matrix synthesis/degradation, oxidative stress and cell proliferation were among the up-regulated genes whereas genes which participate in nicotine metabolism, elastic fiber homeostasis and anti-inflammatory response were down-regulated. Immunohistochemistry confirmed expression of urokinase (PLAU), urokinanse receptor (PLAUR) and thrombospondin (THBS1) by alveolar macrophages and small airway epithelial cells. Genes in this pathway have been shown to be involved in transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF?1) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activation and are subject to inhibition by serpin E2. Interestingly, both TGF?1 and serpin E2 have been identified as candidate genes in COPD genetic linkage and association studies. The results thus provide a possible link between these two powerful approaches to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neuronal degeneration, telangiectasias, acute cancer predisposition, and hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR). The gene defective in AT, ATM (for AT-mutated), encodes a protein, pATM that has been found to have IR-inducible kinase activity. Cells from individuals with AT exhibit severely attenuated cell cycle checkpoints in response to gamma radiation exposure. pATM has been hypothesized to act as part of a complex that senses DNA damage, in particular, DNA double strand breaks. We are studying the pATM-dependent gene expression responses to a dose of 1.5 Gy radiation in lymphoblastoid cell lines from multiple individuals with either wild type or mutated ATM. The gene expression analyses were performed on Agilent Human 1A Oligo chips containing approximately 16,000 60mer probes. We identified a set of genes whose gene expression changes are ATM-dependent following exposure to 1.5 Gy IR. This set of genes was tested by real time quantitative PCR analysis. The study consists of one dose group - 1.5 Gray gamma radiation. Samples were collected 6 hr following irradiation (treated) or mock irradiation (controls) for each culture. Each culture has a treated sample and a control sample. There are cultures from 6 wild-type ATM individuals and cultures from 6 individuals that are ATM-deficient, for a total of 12 cultures. Hybridizations compared RNA extracted from each individual culture's treated sample against its corresponding control sample, and were performed as dye-flip duplicates (1 replicate in each direction). Hybridizations were performed on the Human 1A Oligo Chips using low input, direct labeling at Paradigm Genetics Laboratory. Microarray scanning was performed with the Agilent G2565AA Scanner. Paradigm Standard Operating Procedures were followed for quality analysis, sample labeling, microarray hybridization and washing, scanning, image analysis and initial data analysis.
