Project description:TGF-beta1 is the major cytokine driver of fibrotic scarring observed in diabetic nephropathy and other fibrosis-related diseases. RNA-sequencing offers the potential for more sensitive assessment of the TGF-M-CM-^_1-driven transcriptome. There were two treatment groups: vehicle, 48 hr TGFb1. Each treatment was carried out in triplicate. Upon quality control assessment, one TGFM-CM-^_1 treated sample was excluded from further analyses, leaving 3 unstimulated and 2 TGFM-CM-^_1 samples.

Project description:TGFbeta is the major cytokine driver of fibrosis in the kidney and other tissue. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition has been postulated to contibrute to renal fibrosis in diseases such as diabetic nephropathy. We wished to identify novel genes that were upregulated in human kidney epithelial cells in response to TGFb1.The transcriptional responses for human proximal tubule epithelial cells to 10 ng/ml TGFbeta1 was examined over 24 and 48 hr

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a refractory and lethal interstitial lung disease characterized by alveolar epithelial cells apoptosis, fibroblast proliferation and extra-cellular matrix proteins deposition. Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) has previously been localised to alveolar epithelial cells of IPF patients. In this study we utilised a microarray based differential gene expression analysis strategy to identify potential molecular drivers of EBV associated lung fibrosis. We employed an alveolar epithelial cell line infected with EBV (A-Akata). Lytic phase infection induced in the A-Akata cells by TPA/BA treatment resulted in increase of TGFbeta1 and TIEG1 mRNA expression. Treatment of the A-Akata cells with ganciclovir, resulted in a down regulation of both TIEG1 and TGFbeta1 expression, accompanied by a suppression of the EBV early response genes, Rta and Zta. This suppression of cell turnover mediators was correlated with an increase in cell activity index. To identify a possible role for Rta in driving apoptotic gene expression, we inhibited the Rta gene expression by silencing RNA, resulting in a decrease in TGFbeta1 and TIEG1 expression. This study identifies an apoptotic role of the EBV early response genes, as enhancer factors of TIEG1 and TGFbeta1 in EBV infected alveolar epithelial cells, potentially providing a possible mechanism for the role of EBV infection in pulmonary fibrosis.

Experiment Overall Design: RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription and microarray analysis of A549, EBV infected A549 (AAKata) and A549 +TGFbeta1 10ng/ml 4hours were performed as previously reported. All analysis were microarrayed in duplicate. Image files were obtained through Affymetrix GeneChip software (MAS5). Subsequently robust multichip analysis (RMA) was performed. Expression data was compared to control by ANOVA analysis, p<0.05 correlated values and a signal log ratio of 0.6 or greater (equivalent to a fold change in expression of 1.5 or greater) were taken to identify significant differential regulation. All the SLRs data resulting from the comparative analyses were reported in a graph to determine the reliability of the assay and the linearity by r2. For all the microarray assays r2 value was higher than 0.98. Using gene expression values normalised by RMA, Average Linkage Hierarchical Cluster Analysis was performed and the results visualized by TreeView software.

Project description:Abstract: Human kidney function declines with age, accompanied by stereotyped changes in gene expression and histopathology, but the mechanisms underlying these changes are largely unknown. We compared age-associated changes in global gene expression patterns in the human kidney with genome-wide maps of transcription factor occupancy in human cell lines to identify potential regulators of gene expression changes in the aging kidney. The strongest associations involved three inflammation-associated transcription factors: NFκB, STAT1 and STAT3. We found that the activity of these transcription factors increases with age in epithelial compartments of the renal cortex. Stimulation of renal tubular epithelial cells with the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (a STAT3 activator), IFN-γ (a STAT1 activator), or TNFα (an NFκB activator) recapitulated age-associated gene expression changes. We found that common DNA variants in the two genes that encode the subunits of the canonical NFκB transcription factor (RELA and NFKB1) showed significant associations with kidney function and chronic kidney disease in gene association studies, providing the first evidence for a direct link between genetic variation in NFκB and individual differences in age-related phenotypes in the kidney. Our results point to chronic inflammation, mediated by NFκB, STAT1 and STAT3, as a dominant mechanism influencing gene expression changes during kidney aging. Biological triplicate experiments were performed for each cytokine treatment condition or control treatment.

Project description:This experiment was aimed to study the Epithelial to mesenchimal transition (EMT) induced by TGFbeta in primary tubular epithelial cells. Primary cultures were grown for 4 days using three different TGFbeta1 concentrations: 5 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml and 50 ng/ml. Cells were grown in plastic flasks (Falcon) or in plastic flasks (Falcon) covered by type I collagen. Differentially expressed genes were identified comparing treated vs. control cells maintained for 4 days in 1% serum without TGFbeta1.

Project description:Transgenic (Tg) mice over-expressing TGFb1 in a lung-specific manner display airway inflammation and fibrosis, phenotypes relevant to human COPD and asthma. This model system provides a platform for identifying and validating genes/pathways involved in these disease pathogeneses. The TGFb1-Tg mice lung profiling data was analyzed by identifying genes that were up- and down-regulated at selected p value and fold change in the lung of TGFb1-Tg mice compared to the corresponding wild type controls.
