Profiling fibrotic lung in TGFb1-Tg mice

ABSTRACT: 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.

Common inflammatome gene signatures as well as disease-specific signatures were identified by analyzing 12 expression profiling data sets derived from 9 different tissues isolated from 11 rodent inflammatory disease models. The inflammatome signature significantly overlaps with known drug targets and co-expressed gene modules linked to metabolic disorders and cancer. A large proportion of genes in this signature are tightly connected in tissue-specific Bayesian networks (BNs) built from multiple ...[more]

Project description:Scnn1b-Tg mice overexpress the beta subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (Scnn1b) in airway Club cells. The general phenotype of these mice is described in three published manuscripts (Mall et al. 2004, Nature Medicine, 10(5):487-93; Mall et al. 2008, Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 177(7):730-42; Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Physiol. Genomics 44(8):470-84; and Livraghi-Butrico et al. 2012, Mucosal Immunology 5(4):397-408). Briefly, overexpression of the Scnn1b transgene in airway Club cells leads to hyperabsorption of sodium from the airway surface liquid, which causes airway surface liquid and mucus dehydration, resulting in reduced mucus clearance and airway mucus obstruction. The data provided here represents mRNA expression data from disseccted whole lung from male WT and Scnn1b-transgenic littermates (C57Bl/6NTac background) at 4 time points [postnatal days (PND) 0, 3, 10, and 42]. Histologically, PND 0 lungs are normal, at PND 3 the intrapulmonary airways exhibit transient and spotty Club cell necrosis, and by PND 10 airway mucus obstruction is evident in the proximal portion of the intrapulmonary main stem bronchus. At PND 42, Scnn1b-Tg lungs are charactyerized by chronic low level inflammation, with activated macrophages, neutrophilia, eosinophilia and increased incidence of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue. The data from the WT mice provides a global look at mRNA post-natal developmental changes, while the data from the Scnn1b-transgenic line allows differential gene expression due to airway surface liquid dehydration and mucus obstruction to be queried. The data presented for the lung is part of a larger body of work evaluating gene expression in lung (left lobe only), trachea, and purified macrophages (from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid). 24 Total lung (left lobe only) samples were analyzed; three from each timepoint for each genotype (wild type and Scnn1b-transgenic). In our manuscript, we were most interested in changes between WT and Scnn1b-Tg mice, however, the data can also be used to evaluate changes in gene expression across time (PND 0, 3, 10, and 42). We generated the following pairwise comparisons: Scnn1b-Tg vs WT mice for each PND time point; Intra-strain comparison between PND 3, or 10, or 42 vs PND 0.

Briefly, overexpression of the Scnn1b transgene in airway Club cells leads to hyperabsorption of sodium from the airway surface liquid, which causes airway surface liquid and mucus dehydration, resulting in reduced mucus clearance and airway mucus obstruction. The data provided here represents mRNA expression data from dissected whole trachea (distal and proximal ends were cut 3-4 cartilage rings below the larynx and just above the bifurcation, respectively) from male WT and Scnn1b-Tg littermates (C57Bl/6N Tac background) at 4 time points [postnatal days (PND) 0, 3, 10, and 42]. Histologically, PND 0 trachea are normal, a tracheal mucus plug/obstruction develops around PND 3 and typically recedes to the intrapulmonary airways after PND 10, and the trachea is again histologically normal by PND 42. The data from the WT mice provides a global look at mRNA post-natal developmental changes, while the data from the Scnn1b-Tg line provides mRNA data that allows differential gene expression due to airway mucus obstruction to be queried. The data presented for the trachea is part of a larger body of work evaluating gene expression in whole lung, trachea, and purified macrophages. 24 Total tracheal samples were analyzed; three from each timepoint. In our manuscript, we were most interested in changes between WT and Scnn1b-Tg mice, however, the data can also be used to evaluate changes in gene expression across time (PND 0, 3, 10, and 42). It should be noted that a significant difference in RNA expression quality parameters was noted for the 10 day trachea data.

Project description:Alternative splicing analysis of laser micro-dissected lung dysplasia RNA samples Lung dysplasia is a precancerous condition with high risk of malignant transformation. Little is known about alternative spliced (AS) genes in dysplasia. We therefore investigated laser micro-dissected microscopic foci of non-contaminant dysplasia and/or lung adenocarcinoma of c-Raf transgenic mice and searched genome wide for AS genes using exon arrays. Notably, bioinformatics defined 34 and 36 AS genes in the comparison dysplasia versus transgenic unaltered and non-transgenic lung tissue while the comparison adenocarcinoma versus transgenic unaltered and non-transgenic lung tissue revealed 54 and 56 genes, respectively. So far only 6 of these were reported for lung cancer. Importantly, dysplasia related AS genes were also regulated in lung cancer to suggest a role in disease onset. Next to exon skipping/inclusion alternative splicing at the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y and 5M-bM-^@M-^Y was common and included genes of the splicing regulatory pathway. Disease dependent changes of variant transcripts were confirmed by RT-PCR while Western blotting identified alternative splicing to modulate protein levels of AS genes. For the AS genes Add3, Cast, Osbpl6, Nedd4l, Numb, Picalm and Slk transcript and protein level agreed well, whereas for Arhgef11, Clstn1, Dlg1, Dock9, Mbnl2, Mfge8, Npnt, Pdlim5, Ppp2r5c, Tjp1 notable differences in the abundance of variant transcripts were observed by RT-PCR and gel electrophoresis. Moreover, expression of individual variants differed between dysplasia and carcinoma to suggest their disease dependent regulation. Western blotting of IQGAP1, MYO6, PTPRM, RABGAP1L and RAD50 confirmed significant regulation of isoforms in lung cancer as compared to non-transgenic, transgenic unaltered and dysplastic lung tissue. For 46 AS genes expression of the non-variant protein was reported in human lung cancer (www.proteinatlas.org) and for 13 of these, cancer related AS events are known. Overall, new insight into lung dysplasia was obtained with 43 new cancer related AS genes to aid diagnosis and molecular intervention strategies. We analyzed and compared dysplastic (n=4) and adenocarcinoma (n=4) lesions and with transgenic but unaltered (n=4) and non-transgenic (n=5) lung tissue obtained from SPC/c-Raf transgenic mice with aid of laser micro dissection pressure catapulted (LMPC) technique. Dysplasia is a pre-neoplastic condition and developed at 5 month of age in the proposed mouse model. LMPC provides precise microscopic lesion collection without contamination. The RNA samples were analyzed using the Affymetrix Mouse Exon 1.0 ST platform. Alternative splicing was analyzed using Biotique XRAY tool. No technical replicates were performed.
