Project description:The deposition of amyloid senile plaques (SPs) play a central role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the mechanisms by which SPs induce neural toxicity are disputed. Genetically engineered mouse models emphasising SPs have had limited success in reproducing the neuropathology of AD, and have also failed to be good indicators of successful amyloid-targeting therapies. Moreover, elderly people with a heavy plaque burden can show normal cognition. Therefore, it is fundamentally important to fully characterize and distinguish the pathological changes elicited by SPs in human and mouse brains. Using laser capture microdissection (LCM) combined with high-throughput mass spectrometry, we quantified ~5000 proteins with high confidence in SPs and non-plaque regions from AD and non-AD human postmortem brain. We found proteomic alteration in SPs is more evident than in non-plaque regions, and identified more than 30 human that are significantly enriched in SPs. We found that AD SPs elicited much more extensive proteomic alterations compared to non-AD SPs. Together, our findings represent the most systematic analysis of sub-proteome of senile plaques and provide a framework for future studies on plaque pathology and AD progression.

Project description:Human keratinocytes isolated from foreskin were cultured and treated with a GSK-3beta inhibitor, BIO. The effect of BIO was evaluated by the cell growth, clony formation and differentiating markers. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Human primary keratinocytes were subjected for RNA extraction. The total RNAs were hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. The cultured cells exhibit a homogous cell morphology at passage 1 to passage 5. The cells were treated with BIO at passage 3 or 4.

Project description:Extracellular senile plaques of amyloid beta (Abeta) are a pathological hallmark in brain of patients with Alzheimer`s Disease (AD). Abeta is generated by the amyloidogenic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Concomitant to Abeta load, AD brain is characterized by an increase in protein level and activity of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE inhibitors are a widely used class of drugs with established benefits for patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the role of ACE and ACE inhibition in the development of Abeta plaques and the process of AD-related neurodegeneration is not clear since ACE was reported to degrade Abeta. To investigate the effect of ACE inhibition on AD-related pathomechanisms, we used Tg2576 mice with neuron-specific expression of APPSwe as AD model. From 12 months of age, substantial Abeta plaque load accumulates in the hippocampus of Tg2576 mice as a brain region, which is highly vulnerable to AD-related neurodegeneration. The effect of central ACE inhibition was studied by treatment of 12 month-old Tg2576 mice for six months with the brain penetrating ACE inhibitor captopril. At an age of 18 months, hippocampal gene expression profiling was performed of captopril-treated Tg2576 mice relative to untreated 18 month-old Tg2576 controls with high Abeta plaque load. As an additional control, we used 12 month-old Tg2576 mice with low Abeta plaque load. Whole genome microarray gene expression profiling revealed gene expression changes induced by the brain-penetrating ACE inhibitor captopril, which could reflect the neuro-regenerative potential of central ACE inhibition. Microarray gene expression profiling was performed of hippocampi isolated from aged, 18 month-old Tg2576 (APPSwe-transgenic) AD mice with high Abeta plaque load relative to age-matched Tg2576 mice, which were treated for 6 months with the centrally active ACE inhibitor captopril. Another study group consisted of 12 month-old Tg2576 mice with low Abeta plaque load. In total, three study groups were analyzed, i.e. (i) 18 month-old untreated Tg2576 mice with high Abeta plaque load, (ii) age-matched Tg2576 mice treated for 6 months with the brain-penetrating ACE inhibitor captopril (20 mg/kg body weight/day in drinking water), and (iii) untreated 12 month-old Tg2576 mice with low Abeta plaque load reflecting the time point when captopril treatment was initiated. Two biological replicates were made of each group, and total hippocampal RNA of four mice was pooled for one gene chip.

Project description:The CAMTA1 mutant and Col-0 were studied under water and drought condition. The camta1 showed stunted primary root growth under osmotic stress. The expression analysis revealed drought recovery as major indicative pathway along with membrane and chloroplast related protein in camta1 under drought stress. Large number of positively regulated genes were related to osmotic balance, transporters, AP2 and ABA. We used Affymetrix expression analysis to validate the role of CAMTA1 under drought stress. The RNA of Col-0 and camta1 mutant were isolated in water and drought condition.The ATH1 gene chip was used for expression analysis.

Project description:The rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques, leading to debilitating or fatal thrombotic events, is a major health burden worldwide. Limited understanding as to the molecular drivers of plaque instability and rupture hinders efforts in diagnosis and treatment prior to thrombotic events. Utilising an advanced pre-clinical mouse model (Tandem stenosis (TS) model), which presents human-like unstable atherosclerotic disease, we apply high-end omic methods to characterize the molecular signatures associated with plaque instability in atherosclerotic arteries. Through quantitative proteomic profiling, we depict unique proteome signatures of unstable plaques compared to stable plaques and healthy arteries. Coupled with single-cell RNA-sequencing of leukocytes, we describe the heterodimer complex S100a8/S100a9 as unique to unstable plaque, with neutrophils implicated as the transcriptional drivers of S100a8/a9 expression. We confirm S100a9 expression in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques and we further utilise the TS pre-clinical model to pharmacologically inhibit S100a8/S100a9, resulting in plaque stabilisation. Thus, we establish the TS model as a sophisticated translational tool for the profiling of unstable atherosclerotic plaques and demonstrate that unstable and stable atherosclerosis are highly different disease entities.

Project description:Hypericum perforatum extracts have been used as dietary supplements to treat conditions including mild-moderate depression and inflammation. A group of four bioactive constituents were identified from an active fraction of the extract. In order to identify the mechanism for the potential anti-inflammatory activity of the identified compounds, we used Affymatrix microarray to study the gene expression profile impacteded by these compounds, as well as the active fraction in LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages. We treated RAW264.7 mouse macrophages with DMSO control, active fraction from Hypericum perforaum extract, and a combination of the 4 putative bioactive compounds, called the 4-component system, all with and without LPS induction. A total of six treatment combinations were included in the final gene expression analysis using microarray.

Project description:KSHV RTA (K-RTA) is a transcriptional activator that functions to disrupt KSHV latency and activates specific sets of viral promoters in the lytic cycle. Structure-function studies indicate that K-RTA possesses a very potent transactivation domain locating at the C-terminus. To further characterize the biological functions of K-RTA, we have established three doxycycline-inducible K-RTA 293 cell lines using RevTRE/Tet-On system (Clontech). Comparing to two control lines in which K-RTA was replaced with luciferase reporter, a total of 88 host genes were identified to be modulated by 24 h doxycycline-induced K-RTA synthesized in 293 cells. Designations for the three K-RTA inducible cell lines are KRta_92, KRta_116 and KRta_124; for the control line is RevTRE_Luc_1. All the four inducible cell lines were grown to log-phase before doxycycline induction. Same number of cells from the four cell lines were treated with doxycycline for 24 h . One duplicate of control RevTRE_Luc_1 was left untreated for inducer control. Total RNAs from the five samples were extracted and subjected to microarray analysis (Affymetrix HG-U133A, n=22,283). We sought to identify genes up- or down-regulated in the three doxycycline-treated K-RTA cells, but not in the treated or untreated RevTRE_Luc_1 cells.

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are scarcely present in the inflamed human atherosclerotic plaque, where they are presumed to exert pro-inflammatory functions through release of type I interferons. However, the precise role of pDCs in human atherosclerosis yet remains to be established. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. We investigated the impact of human plaque pDCs on its local context, applying state of the art transcriptomics analysis on Laser Capture Microdissected fractions of human atherosclerotic plaques, distinctively enriched in pDCs, or pDCs-void.
