Pneumonia results from bacteria in the alveoli. The alveolar epithelium consists of type II cells, which secrete surfactant and associated proteins, and type I cells, which constitute 95% of the surface area and meet anatomic and structural needs. Other than constitutively expressed surfactant proteins, it is unknown whether alveolar epithelial cells have distinct roles in innate immunity. Because innate immunity gene induction depends on NF-κB RelA (also known as p65) during pneumonia, we gener ...[more]

Project description:A murine model of RelA mutated throughout the alveolar epithelium was generated. Mice were anesthetized and intratracheally instilled with 106 CFU of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 3 into the left lung lobe. Mice were euthanized after 15 hours after instillation, and left lung lobes were collected to isolate RNA. We used SABioscience Mouse Inflammatory Cytokines and Receptors PCR Array to evaluate whether the expressions of lung cytokines and receptors during pneumococcal pneumonia are dependent on alveolar epithelial NF-M-NM-:B RelA or not. qPCR gene expression profiling. RNA were collected from six different mouse lungs in each genotype (wild-type and alveolar epithelial RelA mutant). Equal amount of RNA (200ng) was pooled from six different mouse lungs, and 1M-NM-<g of total RNA (1.2M-NM-<g) was used to the PCR array.

Project description:Balb/cJ mouse received control RNAi or RNAi to 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) intranasally prior to the exposure for 1 h to a) glucose oxidase (1 mU) to induce OGG1-BER or b) OGG1-BER product 8-oxoguanine (1 M-NM-<M). We used SABiosciences Mouse Inflammatory Cytokines & Receptors PCR Array (PAMM-011A) to quantitate inflammatory gene expression dependent on OGG1 and its product 8-oxoguanine. After intranasal challenge with glucose oxidase or 8-oxoguanine, mice were sacrificed and lungs were collected and processed to obtain RNA. Total pooled (n=5) RNA (1 M-NM-<g) was reverse transcribed into cDNA using SuperscriptM-BM-. III First Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen), mixed with equal amounts of 2X SYBR Green Supermix (Qiagen) and 20 M-NM-<l of reaction mixture was added to each well of the PAM-011A array. The reaction was evaluated using an ABI PRISMM-BM-. 7000 Sequence Detection System using recommended settings by SABiosciences.

Project description:The interaction of natural killer (NK) cells with dendritic cells (DC) results in reciprocal cell activation through the interaction of membrane proteins and the release of soluble factors. Here we report that in NK-DC cocultures, among a set of 84 cytokines investigated, activin A was the second highest induced gene, with CXCL8 being the most upregulated one. Activin A is a member of the TGF-M-NM-2 superfamily and was previously shown to possess both pro- and antiinflammatory activities. In NK-DC cocultures, the induction of activin A required cell contact and was dependent on the presence of proinflammatory cytokines (i.e. IFN-M-NM-3, TNF-M-NM-1 and GM-CSF) as well as on NK cell-mediated DC killing. CD1+ DC were the main activin A producer cells among myeloid blood DC subsets. In NK-DC cocultures, inhibition of acitivn A by follistatin, a natural inhibitory protein, or by a specific blocking antibody, resulted in the upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine release (i.e. IL-6, IL-8, TNF-M-NM-1) by DC and in the increase of DC maturation. In conclusion, our study reports that activin A, produced during NK-DC interactions, represents a relevant negative feedback mechanism that might function to prevent excessive immune activation by DC. Human CD14 positive monocytes were differentiated to DC in vitro in the presence of IL-4 (20 ng/ml) and GM-CSF (50 ng/ml) for 6 days. Immature DC were then cocultured with allogeneic IL-15-activated NK cells (at 1:1 NK:DC ratio) for 0, 2 and 6 hrs. RNA was obtained from three independent coculture experiments. Equal amount of total RNA from each experiment was pooled prior to gene expression analysis. The gene expression of common cytokines was quantified using an RT2 Profiler PCR Array (Qiagen).

Project description:We previously demonstrated that the osteopontin-c (OPNc) splice variant activates several aspects of the progression of prostate cancers. The goal of the present study was to develop cell line model to determine the impact of OPNc overexpression on main cancer signaling pathways and thus obtain insights into the mechanisms of OPNc pro-tumorigenic roles. Methods: PC-3 cells were stably transfected to overexpress OPNc. Transcriptomic profiling was performed on these cells and compared to controls, to identify OPNc overexpression-dependent changes in gene expression levels and pathways by qRT-PCR analyses; Results: Of 84 genes tested by using a multiplex real-time PCR Cancer Pathway Array approach, among then 16 were differentially expressed between PC-3 OPNc-overexpressing cells in relation to control clones. Differentially expressed genes are included in all main hallmarks of cancer, and several interacting proteins have been identified using an interactome network analysis. Conclusions: Overall, the present study elucidated transcriptional changes of prostate cancer cells in response to OPNc overexpression, which provides an assessment for predicting the molecular mechanisms by which this splice variant promotes tumor progression features. Cell Culture, OPN Plasmids and Transfection; As a model to examine the signaling pathways modulated by OPNc overexpression in prostate carcinoma, we used PC-3 cell line, which were provided by ATCC. The open reading frame of OPNc was cloned into the pCR3.1 mammalian expression vector as previously described [Tilli et al., 2012]. Transfections were performed using LipofectamineTM 2000 (Invitrogen, CA). Our previous data demonstrated that PC-3 stably transfected cells contain higher levels of protein and the mRNA OPNc splicing isoform in relation to their endogenous levels in empty vector-transfected cells. PC-3 transfected with empty vector (EV) were used as a negative control in these assays. Human Cancer Pathway Finder PCR Array The Human Cancer Pathway Finder SuperArray (PAHS-033A; Qiagen) was used to determine changes in the specific genes encoding proteins related to the main hallmarks of cancer in response to OPNc overexpression. The assay design criteria ensure that each qPCR reaction will generate single, gene-specific amplicons and prevent the co-amplification of non-specific products. The qPCR Assays used in PCR Arrays are optimized to work under standard conditions enabling a large number of genes to be assayed simultaneously. Their specificity is guaranteed by SABiosciences when RT2 SYBR Green qPCR Master Mixes are used as part of the complete PCR Array System protocol. Simultaneous gene expression analyses require similar qPCR efficiencies for accurate comparison among genes. RT2 qPCR Primer Assays are designed with an amplicon size ranging from 100 to 250 bp and with PCR efficiencies uniformly greater than 90%. Overall, more than 10 thermodynamic criteria are included in the design of each RT2 qPCR Primer Assay to ensure the most reliable and accurate results for pathway-based gene expression analysis in the PCR Array System. We analyzed mRNA levels of 84 genes related to cell cycle control, apoptosis and cell senescence, signal transduction molecules and transcription factors, adhesion, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis; and also 5 housekeeping genes and genomic DNA contamination controls. The PCR plates were run using the CFX96 Real-Time System cycler (BioRad, Hercules, CA), following a superarray two-step cycling PCR protocol, in which each plate ran one cycle for 10 minutes at 95M-BM-0C, as well as 40 cycles of 95M-BM-0C for 15 seconds and 60M-BM-0C for 1 minute. After the superarray protocol was run for each plate, RT-PCR data analysis was performed using the website:http://www.SABiosciences.com/pcrarraydataanalysis.php, in order to compare gene expression of OPNc-overexpressing cells and empty vector transfected cells. Total RNA quality control, cDNA synthesis and the quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) array were performed as recommended by the manufacturer (Qiagen). Data analysis of gene expression was performed using Excel-based PCR Array Data Analysis Software provided by manufacturer (Qiagen). Fold-changes in gene expression were calculated using the M-NM-^TM-NM-^TCT method, and five stably expressed housekeeping genes (M-NM-22 microglobulin, hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1, ribosomal protein L13a, GAPDH and M-NM-2-actin) were used to normalize the level of expression. The statistical analysis was performed to compare the gene expression values for the OPNc-overexpressing cells and those transfected with empty vector. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Only genes showing a 1.5-fold or greater change were considered for further analysis.
