Transcription profiling of mouse Skeletal muscle of adrenalectomized animals with and without a glucocorticoid injection 3 or 24 h previously (MG-U74Av2)

ABSTRACT: Forty male C57BL6 mice 12-15 weeks old fed chow ad libitum. 30 mice underwent adrenalectomy (Adx) and 10 others a sham-Adx. Three or 24h before tissue sampling, groups of 10 mice received an I.P. injection of cortisol (0.1 mg per mice), while the remaining Adx and intact mice received an I.P. injection of the vehicle (ethanol) 24 h prior to the sacrifice. All mice were killed within a period of a few hours. Gastrocnemius muscle were dissected and pooled together for each one of the four groups. Total RNA was isolated by Trizol. Samples were processed following the labeling protocol from Affymetrix. In the MG-U74A2, each of the 12488 murine transcripts are represented by 16 probe pairs of 25mer. Images were scanned using a GeneChip scanner 3000 with autoloader, and analyzed with the MAS 5.0 software (Affymetrix). The ratio of fluorescence intensities for the 5' end and the 3' end of beta-actin and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase was less than 2. This microarray analysis was performed once.

The serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) method is used to study global gene expression in cells or tissues in various experimental conditions. However, its reproducibility has not yet been definitively assessed. In this study, we have evaluated the reproducibility of the SAGE method and identified the factors that affect it. The determination coefficient (R2 ) for the reproducibility of SAGE is 0.96. However, there are some factors that can affect the reproducibility of SAGE, such as the r ...[more]

Project description:The current study has investigated the hypothalamic gene expressions regulated by glucocorticoid (GC), key hormones in energy homeostasis. Using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) method, we have studied the effects of adrenalectomy (ADX) and GC on the transcriptomes of mouse hypothalamus. Approximately, 180 000 SAGE tags, which correspond to 50 000 tag species, were isolated from each group of intact or adrenalectomized mice, as well as 1, 3 and 24 hours after GC injection. ADX has upregulated diazepam binding inhibitor gene expression, while downregulating vomeronasal 1 receptor D4, genes involved in mitochondrial phosphorylation (cytochrome c oxidase 1 and NADH dehydrogenase 3), 3b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1, and prostaglandin D2 synthase. GC has increased the gene expression levels of dehydrogenase/reductase member 3, prostaglandin D2 synthase, solute carrier family 4 member 4, and five cytoskeletal proteins including myosin light chain phosphorylatable fast and troponin C2 fast. On the other hand, GC has reduced the mRNA levels of calmodilin 1 and expressed sequence tag similar to (EST) calmodilin 2, ATP synthase F0 subunit 6, and solute carrier family 4 member 3. Moreover, seven uncharacterized and 43 novel transcripts were modulated by ADX and GC. The current study has identified genes that may regulate hypothalamic systems governing energy balance in response to ADX and GC. Keywords: Hormone effect analysis Male C57BL6 mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (St. Constant, QC, Canada), at 12-14 weeks of age. Mice were housed in an air-conditioned room (19-25 degree) with controlled lighting from 07:15 to 19:15 h and were given free access to food (Lab Rodent Diet No. 5002) and water. One week prior to sampling of hypothalamus, adrenalectomy was performed in mice of all experimental groups (n = 12 per group). ADX mice received sodium chloride (0.9g/dl) in their drinking water after the surgery. GC (corticosterone, 0.1 mg per mouse) was subcutaneously injected to ADX mice and the hypothalamus was harvested at 1 hour (ADX + GC 1 h), 3 hours (ADX + GC 3 h) and 24 hours (ADX + GC 24 h) after the GC injection. ADX received an injection of vehicle solution (5% ethanol with 0.4% methocel A15LV premium) at 24 hours prior to sacrifice. All mice were killed between 08:30 and 12:30 by decapitation under isoflurane anesthesia. Brain was removed from the skull and the hypothalamus was immediately dissected, frozen in liquid nitrogen, pooled together for each group, and stored at -80 degree until RNA extraction.

Project description:Overproduction of adrenal hormones causes obesity and hypertension, whereas adrenalectomy (ADX) leads to weight loss and hypotension. The pituitary gland is a major target organ for the adrenal hormones. To identify potential mediators for the effect of ADX on pituitary system regulating weight loss and hypotension, we investigated the effect of ADX on pituitary gene expression using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). The numbers of analyzed SAGE tag were 126688 tags for intact mice (n = 51) and 59482 tags for ADX mice (n = 12), which corresponded to 45151 and 21790 distinct tag species, respectively. Thirty-three pituitary genes were differentially expressed between intact and ADX mice. Three genes encoding for pro-opiomelanocortin have been upregulated by ADX. The ADX has induced the gene expression of growth hormone while downregulating an expressed sequence tag similar to (EST) growth hormone. The ADX reduced the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, such as NADH dehydrogenase 3 and cytochrome c oxidase 3, whereas neuromedin B gene were dramatically induced. In addition, the ADX increased the expression levels of other three genes involved in hormone release (response to metastatic cancers 1), extracellular matrix (matrix gamma-carboxyglutamate gla protein), and cation transport (solute carrier family member 17). Moreover, one functionally-uncharacterized and 20 novel transcripts were significantly modulated by ADX. Thus the current study has revealed the alterations in the pituitary gene expression that may play key roles in the mechanisms of ADX-induced weight loss and hypotension.

Male C57BL6 mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (St. Constant, QC, Canada), at 12-14 weeks of age. Mice were housed in an air-conditioned room (19-25?) with controlled lighting from 07:15 to 19:15 h and were given free access to food (Lab Rodent Diet No. 5002) and water. One week prior to sampling of pituitary gland, adrenalectomy was performed in mice of ADX groups (n = 12). The ADX mice received sodium chloride (0.9g/dl) in their drinking water after the surgery. All mice were killed between 08:30 and 12:30 by decapitation under isoflurane anesthesia. Brain was removed from the skull and the pituitary gland was immediately dissected. The pituitary gland was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, pooled together for each group, and stored at -80? until RNA extraction.
