Gene Expression Profiling In Murine Retina Neovascularization Models

ABSTRACT: In order to find out the vital genes during retinal neovascularization (RNV), we set up OIR (oxygen-induced retinopathy; induced with 75%Â±2% oxygen) and wild-type C57BL/6J murine models. We observed the retinal vascular growth process daily both in OIR and wild-type mice through retinal flat-mount, and isolated total retinal RNA at different time points (P8, P9, P12, P13, P30) both in OIR and wild-type mice for gene expression analysis. At least three different retinae were accessed at each time point for observing the retinal vascular growth process. Ten neural retinae from five mice were harvested and pooled into one sample for gene expression analysis. Three biological replicates were used for each time point. Dye-swaps were performed.

Project description:Purpose. XOPS-mCFP transgenic zebrafish experience a continual cycle of rod photoreceptor development and degeneration throughout life, making them a useful model to investigate the molecular determinants of rod photoreceptor regeneration. The purpose of this study was to compare the gene expression profiles of wild type and XOPS-mCFP retinas in order to identify genes that may contribute to the regeneration of the rods. Methods. Wild type and XOPS-mCFP retinal mRNA was subjected to microarray analysis using the Agilent platform. The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis program was used to identify biologically relevant processes that were significantly represented in the dataset. Expression changes were verified by RT-PCR. Selected genes were further examined during retinal development and in adult retinas by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and using a transgenic fluorescent reporter line. Results. Over 600 genes displayed significant expression changes in XOPS-mCFP retinas compared to wild type controls. Many of the downregulated genes were associated with phototransduction, whereas upregulated genes were associated with several biological functions, including cell cycle, DNA replication and repair, cell development and cell death. RT-PCR analysis of a subset of these genes confirmed the microarray results. Three transcription factors (sox11b, insm1a, and c-myb) displaying increased expression in XOPS-mCFP retinas were also expressed throughout retinal development and in the persistently neurogenic ciliary marginal zone. Conclusions. This study identified numerous gene expression changes in response to rod degeneration in zebrafish, and further suggests a role for the transcriptional regulators sox11b, insm1a, and c-myb in both retinal development and rod photoreceptor regeneration. Two-condition experiment: wild-type vs. XOPS-mCFP retinas. Four biological replicates for each condition. RNA was prepared from one retina for each sample. Each hybridization was accompanied by a dye-swap control, for a total of eight array hybridizations.

Project description:Total transcriptome analyses were carried out to investigate changes in transcript patterns in the Mycobacterium smegmatis wild type strain SMR5 due to nitrogen starvation and to expand the knowledge about the role of the two transcriptional regulators of nitrogen metabolism, namely GlnR and AmtR, in these processes. A first experiment revealed enhanced transcript levels of 284 genes and reduced transcripts of 231 genes in the wild type under nitrogen starvation compared to nitrogen surplus. When glnR deletion strain MH1 was compared to the wild type under nitrogen starvation, decreased transcript levels of 125 genes were detected, indicating that these are activated by GlnR due to nitrogen limitation. Comparing amtR deletion strain YL1 to the wild type under nitrogen starvation, enhanced transcript levels of 2 genes were found, indicating that they are repressed by AmtR under nitrogen surplus. A comparison of YL1 and wild type under surplus, as well as a comparison of YL1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation and of MH1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation were carried out as additional control experiments. It can be concluded that GlnR is the master regulator of nitrogen control in M. smegmatis and that AmtR fulfills only a small, subordinate role in the regulation of an operon. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30033: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of glnR deletion strain MH1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation GSE30231: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 and amtR deletion strain YL1 under nitrogen starvation GSE30232: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of amtR deletion strain YL1 under nitrogen surplus and starvation GSE30233: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 under nitrogen surplus and starvation GSE30234: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 and glnR deletion strain MH1 under nitrogen starvation GSE30235: Mycobacterium smegmatis - Comparison of wild type SMR5 and amtR deletion strain YL1 under nitrogen surplus Refer to individual Series
