Transcription profiling of activated human T cells induced by microgravity to identify apoptotic genes and other immune response genes

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to search for microgravity-sensitive genes, specifically for apoptotic genes influenced by the microgravity environment and other genes related to immune response. Experiment Overall Design: Two-group design with paired samples, i.e., one 1G and one MMG culture came from the same donor. Therefore, 6 samples came from 3 different donors. Experiment Overall Design: Donor 1 :GSM96146,GSM96147 Experiment Overall Design: Donor 2: GSM96148, GSM96149 Experiment Overall Design: Donor 3: GSM96150,GSM96151 Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was submitted to, and then labeled, hybridized and data generated by the Baylor College Medicine Microarray Core Facility (333E One Baylor Plaza, Houston, TX 77030).

Studies conducted in real Space and in ground-based microgravity analog systems (MAS) have demonstrated changes in numerous lymphocyte functions. In this investigation we explored whether the observed functional changes in lymphocytes in MAS are associated with changes in gene expression. NASA-developed Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) bioreactor was utilized as a MAS. Activated T lymphocytes were obtained by adding 100 ng/ml of anti-CD3 and 100 U/ml of IL-2 in RPMI medium to blood donor mononuclear c ...[more]

Project description:Microgravity leads to a 10-15% loss of bone mass in astronauts during space flight. Osteoclast is the multinucleated bone resorbing cell. In this study, we used NASA developed ground based Rotary Wall Vessel Bioreactor (RWV), Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS) to simulate microgravity (Î¼Xg) conditions and demonstrated a significant increase (2-fold) in osteoclastogenesis compared to ground based control (Xg) mouse bone marrow cultures. We further determined the gene expression profiling of RAW 264.7 osteoclast progenitor cells in microgravity by agilent microarray analysis. Gene expression pattern was functional group clustered by transcriptome analysis using gene ontology tree machine (GOTM) for cell proliferation/survival, differentiation and function. We confirm the microgravity modulated gene expression critical for osteoclast differentiation by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in murine bone marrow cultures. We identify transcription factors such as c-Jun, c-Fos, PU-1 critical for osteoclast differentiation is up-regulated in microgravity conditions. In addition, microgravity resulted in 2.3 and 2.0-fold increase in the level of cathepsin K and MMP-9 matrix metalloproteinase expression in preosteoclast cells involved in the bone resorption process respectively. We also demonstrate a significant increase in the expression levels of M-CSF receptor, c-Fms and PLCÎ³2 and S100A8 molecules that play an important role in Ca2+ signaling essential for osteoclast function. Further, microgravity stimulated preosteoclast cells showed elevated cytosolic Ca2+ levels compared to ground based control cells. Thus, microgravity regulated gene expression profiling in preosteoclast cells provide new insights in to molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets of osteoclast differentiation/activation responsible for bone loss and fracture risk in astronauts during space flight mission. Microgravity associated with space flight is a challenge for normal bone homeostasis. Astronauts experience 10-15% bone loss during a space flight mission. We aimed to determine the effect of simulated microgravity on osteoclast preosteoclasts cells. RAW264.7 cells (1.5 x 106 /ml) were loaded in RCCS with DMEM containing 10% FBS for 24 h. The cells were stimulated with RANKL (80ng/ml) for 24 h to obtain preosteoclasts in parallel with ground based control cells. Total RNA was isolated using RNAzol reagent (Biotecx Labs, Houston, TX) from control (Xg) and microgravity (Î¼Xg) subjected cells and hybridized with Agilent whole mouse genome 4x44K array system. Slides were washed and scanned on an Agilent G2565 microarray scanner. Data obtained were analyzed with Agilent feature extraction and GeneSpring GX v7.3.1 software packages (Genus biosystem, Inc. Northbrook, IL, USA).
