Gene expression in tissues of Mus musculus with innate immunity stimulation

ABSTRACT: This is an investigation of whole genome gene expression level in tissues of mice stimulated by LPS, FK565 or LPS + FK565 in vivo and ex vivo. We show that parenteral administration of a pure synthetic Nod1 ligand, FK565, induces site-specific vascular inflammation in mice, which is prominent in aortic root including aortic valves, slight in aorta and absent in other arteries. The degree of respective vascular inflammation is associated with persistent high expression of proinflammatory chemokine/cytokine genes in each tissue in vivo by microarray analysis, and not with Nod1 expression levels. The ex vivo production of proinflammatory chemokine/cytokine by Nod1 ligand is higher in aortic root than in other arteries from normal murine vascular tissues, and also higher in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) than in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC), suggesting that site-specific vascular inflammation is at least in part ascribed to an intrinsic nature of the vascular tissue/cell itself. A fourty chip study using total RNA recovered from four isolated tissues of mice which were stimulated by various reagents.

<h4>Objective</h4>The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of stimulants for a nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing (NLR) protein family on human artery endothelial cells and murine arteries.<h4>Methods and results</h4>Human coronary artery endothelial cells were challenged in vitro with microbial components that stimulate NLRs or Toll-like receptors. We found stimulatory effects of NLR and Toll-like receptor ligands on the adhesion molecule expression and cytok ...[more]

Project description:Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is one of the major aortic diseases that occurs without a preceding symptom and often results in sudden death. Despite the recent advances in cardiovascular medicine, AAD remains a serious problem because its molecular pathogenesis is largely unknown. In this paper, we report our serendipitous discovery that stress-induced expression of tenascin C (TNC), a member of matricellular proteins, is the protection mechanism of aorta to prevent AAD. The aortic wall stress imposed by the aortic stiffening and the angiotensin II infusion caused the strong induction of TNC in wild type mouse aorta without gross morphological changes. While TNC knockout mice at the baseline showed no morphological, histological or biomechanical abnormalities of aorta, deletion of TNC gene rendered the aorta susceptible to AAD upon the aortic stress. The stressed TNC-null aorta showed the loss of the tensile strength due to the insufficient expression of extracellular matrix proteins and the exaggerated proinflammatory response before the onset of AAD. Therefore, TNC works as a stress-activated molecular damper both by reinforcing the tensile strength and by limiting the excessive proinflammatory response in aorta. Thus far, the molecular event that leads to the AAD development has been unclear because of the unpredictable nature of the AAD onset. This study sheds light on the previously unrecognized tissue protection mechanism that converts the potentially harmful stress response into the active reinforcement of the aorta, of which failure leads to the development of AAD. Although TNC is expressed in various tissues upon the mechanical and proinflammatory stimuli, its role has long been a mystery. Our data uncovered the adaptive role of TNC in aorta that must be resilient to the continuous hemodynamic and humoral stress for lifetime. We used periaortic application of 0.5 M CaCl2 to the infrarenal aorta or either wild type (WT) or tenascin C knockout (TNC-KO) mice to create the mouse model for stiffened aorta and infused the mice with AngII (1 µg/min/kg) for 1 week to apply the pathological stress on aorta (Ca+AngII). Mice were then killed with an overdose of pentobarbital to obtain the tissue samples. The suprarenal aortic samples, from the level of right renal artery to 10 mm above the right renal artery, and infrarenal aortic samples, from the level of left renal artery to 10 mm below the left renal artery, were collected and kept in RNAlater (Qiagen) until the extraction of total RNA using RNeasy (Qiagen). We obtained the RNA samples from 8 mice with Ca+AngII treatment and 5 mice without Ca+AngII treatment for each genotype. We pooled the RNA samples with the identical experimental condition to perform the transcriptome analysis using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 (Affymetrix). We obtained suprarenal aortic smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) from TNC-KO mice by enzymatic dispersion and cultured them in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. We cultured TNC-KO ASMCs in the presence or absence of exogenous TNC (10 µg/mL) and stimulated the cells with 10 ng/mL TNF-alpha for 24 h before obtaining total RNA using RNeasy. We used 3 independent ASMC cultures without the exogenous TNC and 4 independent cultures with the exogenous TNC. We hybridized each of the RNA samples individually to Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix).

Project description:Disordered angiogenesis is implicated in the pulmonary vascular remodeling secondary to congenital heart disease (CHD). However, the underlying genes are not well delineated. We have previously shown that an ovine model of CHD with increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF, Shunt) has an M-bM-^@M-^\angiogenesis burstM-bM-^@M-^] between 1-4 weeks of age. Thus, we hypothesized that the increased pulmonary blood flow elicited a pro-angiogenic gene expression profile prior to the onset of vessel growth. To test this we utilized microarray analysis to identify genes that could be responsible for the angiogenic response. Total RNA was isolated from the lungs of Shunt and Control lambs at 3 days of age and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips for microarray analyses (n=8 for each group). A total of 89 angiogenesis-related genes were found to be up-regulated and 26 angiogenesis-related genes down-regulated in Shunt lungs compared to control (cutting at 1.2 fold difference, P<0.05). We then confirmed the up-regulation of pro-angiogenic genes: FGF2, Angiopoietin2 (Angpt2), and Birc5 at both mRNA and protein levels and the up-regulation of ccl2 at mRNA level in the 3-day shunt lungs. Further, we found that pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) isolated from juvenile lambs exhibited increased expression of FGF2, Angpt2, Birc5, and ccl2 as well as enhanced angiogenesis when exposed to elevated shear stress (35 dyn/cm2) compared to cells exposed to more physiological level shear stress (20 dyn/cm2). Finally, we demonstrated that blocking FGF2, Angpt2, or Birc 5 signaling, using neutralizing antibodies, significantly decreased the angiogenic response induced by shear stress. In conclusion, we have identified a pro-angiogenic gene expression profile in a lamb model of CHD with increased PBF that precedes the onset of pulmonary vascular remodeling. Further, our data indicate that FGF2, Angiopoietin2, Birc5, and ccl2 may play important roles in the angiogenic response. Total RNA was isolated from the lungs of Shunt and Control lambs at 3 days of age and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips for microarray analyses. Eight chips were employed for both control and shunt groups.
