Peripheral blood lymphocytes: ALS patients vs. healthy controls

ABSTRACT: Transcripional profiling of lymphocytes from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (n=11) and healthy control subjects (n=11). The goal was to determine disease response expression signatures relevant of ALS pathogenesis that affect brain and spinal cord. The reference design was used: each Cy5-labeled cRNA sample from ALS patient or healthy control subject was cohybridized on Agilent-014850 Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K G4112F with the reference pool formed with equal amounts of Cy3-labeled cRNAs from each sample from the healthy control group. Eleven lymphocyte samples from definite sporadic ALS patients and eleven samples from healthy control subjects were used.

Project description:Bone marrow (BM) cells derived from femurs of C57BL/6 mice were used to generate BM-DCs. For this, BM cells (2x106 cells/10 ml) were seeded on 100 mm2 bacterial dishes (Greiner bio-one, Frickenhausen, Germany). DC culture media (IMDM, 5% [v/v] FCS [PAA, Coelbe, Germany], 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin [both Gibco, Paisly, UK], 50 uM beta-mercaptoethanol [Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany] 5% [v/v] of murine GM-CSF containing cell culture supernatant was replenished on days 3 and 6 of culture. Aliquots of DC cultures were treated with recombinant human 100 ng/ml WNT-1 (Biovision, Milpitas, CA) for 48h on days 7 or 8 of culture. Each 20 ug of total RNA derived from unstimulated BM-DCs treated for 48 h with WNT-1 (100 ng/ml) or left untreated was used for generation of fluorescecne-labeled cDNA probes (Alexa Fluor 555-aha-dUTP for untreated BM-DCs; Alexa Fluor 647-aha-dUTP for WNT-treated BM-DCs). <br><br><br><br>Prehybridized (5X SSPE,0.1% SDS, and 1% BSA) microarrays (Mouse Whole Genome OneArray Microarray v2; Phalanx Biotech, San Diego, U.S.A.) were hybridized with each 20 pmol of either fluorescence-labeled cDNA probe using OneArray Hybridization Buffer with 18% formamide for 16 h (Lucidea SlidePro Hybridizer; GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany) according to the OneArray hybridization protocol. Washed microarrays were analysed using a ScanArray 4000 system equipped with ScanArray 4.0 software (both Perkin-Elmer; Rodgau-Jugesheim, Germany) at 10 pixel size. Laser intensity (90-100%) and photomultiplier tube sensitivity (60-70%) were varied to optimize signal to background ratios. Derived images weere analyzed using the ScanArray 4.0 easyquant software module. Intensity data were normalized (loess normalization; MIDAS-2.19) and subjected to significance analysis (MEV 4.3) using appropriate modules of the TM4 microarray software suite. Changes in gene expression with p < 5% were used for subsequent analyses. Gene ontology annotations were performed with Panther software (Thomas et al., 2003).

Project description:Oral streptococci, including Streptococcus gordonii, and Actinomyces naeslundii, are consistently found to be the most abundant bacteria in the early stages of dental plaque accumulation. These organisms interact physically (coaggregate) in vitro and in vivo. We hypothesized that coaggregation between S. gordonii and A. naeslundii leads to changes in gene expression in the partner organisms. Furthermore, we predicted that coaggregation-induced changes in phenotype contribute to the success of streptococci and actinomyces in dental plaque. To assess the responses of S. gordonii to coaggregation with A. naeslundii, RNA was extracted from S. gordonii cells 3 h after inducing coaggregation with A. naeslundii or from equivalent S. gordonii monocultures. The two RNA populations were reverse transcribed and compared by competitive hybridization with an S. gordonii genomic microarray. The most striking feature of the response to coaggregation was a profound change in expression of S. gordonii genes involved in arginine biosynthesis and transport. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that coaggregation with A. naeslundii stabilizes arginine biosynthesis in S. gordonii and enables growth under low-arginine conditions, such as those present in human saliva. Keywords: Cell-cell interaction The S. gordonii microarrays consist of 2195 70-mer oligonucleotides representing 2151 open reading frames, each repeated six times on the array. Chemically defined medium (CDM), was based in Tereleckyj’s FMC with minor modifications (Jakubovics et al., 2008). For coaggregate cultures, concentrated suspensions of S. gordonii DL1 (Challis) and A. naeslundii MG1 in CDM were mixed, vortexed and diluted to 1 x 108 cfu/ml. Monocultures were set up identically, except that A. naeslundii cells were omitted. Cultures were incubated at 37oC for 3 h prior to harvesting and extraction of total RNA. Purified RNA was reverse transcribed and cDNAs were labelled with Cy3 or Cy5 dye. cDNAs from coaggregate cultures and from S. gordonii monocultures were competitively hybridized with the S. gordonii microarray. Three independent sets of cultures were used, and flip dye pairs were included for two of the biological replicates (ie 5 hybridizations in total). In control experiments, cDNA derived from A.naeslundii monocultures did not hybridize with the S. gordonii microarrays. Data represent the ratios of gene expression in coaggregated S. gordonii compared with S. gordonii monocultured cells.
