Project description:Limbal stromal cells were reported to resemble mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with multipotential differentiation cability. However, little is known about their gene expression profiles compared to MSC derived from various sources. In this study, the gene expression profile of limbal stromal cells was compared to bone marrow, adipose stromal cells and foreskin fibroblasts. In addition, we also explored the gene expression changes of ex vivo expanded limbal stromal cells when cultured in two different systems. Expanded limbal stromal cells were divided into two groups; each cultured separately on a matrigel-coated plate in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with bFGF and LIF and the other on a normal plate in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cryopreserved bone marrow mesenchymal cells, adipose stromal cells and foreskin fibroblasts were cultured-expanded until confluent. Total RNA was extracted from all the samples and subjected to microarray experiments with an Agilent platform by using Human GE 8x60k microarrays. Data analysis was carried out with GeneSpring software. A total of 871 genes were upregulated when the limbal stromal cells were cultured in the matrigel system, whereas 58 genes were consistently differentially expressed in limbal stromal cells compared to other lineages. Besides the long intergenic non-coding RNA and unknown genes, these genes represent gene ontology for cellular components, molecular function and biological process. Samples derived from the same source were closely clustered by Hierachical clustering analysis. The limbal stromal cells have a distinct molecular signature compared to MSCs from other lineages. The culture system affected the gene expression profile of limbal stromal cells tremendously. Derived limbal stromal cells were cultured using two different methods, one with matrigel and the other with FBS. Their gene expression profiles were compared. The gene expression profile of limbal stromal cells that were cultured with FBS also was compared to the gene expression profiles of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, adipose stromal cells and foreskin fibroblasts.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that tightly regulates the activities of various virulence factors during infection. A mutant strain (the plcBM-NM-^Tpro mutant) that has lost the ability to control the activity of a phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is attenuated a hundred fold in mice. This attenuation is not due to a lack of bacterial fitness, but appears to result from a modified host response to infection. The transcriptomic pattern of immunerelated genes in infected macrophages indicated no differential response to wild-type L. monocytogenes vs the plcBM-NM-^Tpro mutant. Cultures of bone marrow derived macrophages from BALB/c were infected with either wild type or mutant L. monocytogens for 3, 6, or 9 hrs. The macrophages were then collected and RNA isolated for microarray analysis of gene expression.

Project description:We performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes following low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment of cultured bone marrow cells under bone formation conditions, using cDNA microarray analysis Bone marrow cells were obtained from the femora of rats and were suspended in an osteogenic medium to make a cell culture. After cultures were established, test cultures were exposed to LIPUS via the base of the cell culture plates for 15 min/day on days 3–9 (LIPUS group). Control cultures (without LIPUS exposure) were otherwise treated identically to the LIPUS group. On day 10, total RNA was extracted from both sets of cultures and hybridized to microarray slides, the data sets were analysed. Markers for differentiated osteoblasts and osteocytes, as well as collagen-related genes, cell adhesion factors were up-regulated in LIPUS group on day 10. Gene expression in response to LIPUS treatment of bone marrow cells were measured on day 10 after cultures were established. Experiments were performed at each conditions (LIPUS or Control).

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major health problem and a leading cause of chronic liver disease in the United States and developed countries. In humans, genetic factors greatly influence individual susceptibility to NAFLD. The goals of this study were to compare the magnitude of interindividual differences in the severity of liver injury induced by methyl-donor deficiency among individual inbred strains of mice and to investigate the underlying mechanisms associated with the variability. Feeding mice a choline- and folate-deficient diet for 12 wk caused liver injury similar to NAFLD. The magnitude of liver injury varied among the strains, with the order of sensitivity being A/J M-bM-^IM-^H C57BL/6J M-bM-^IM-^H C3H/HeJ < 129S1/SvImJ M-bM-^IM-^H CAST/EiJ < PWK/PhJ < WSB/EiJ. The interstrain variability in severity of NAFLD liver damage was associated with dysregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism, primarily with a down-regulation of the peroxisome proliferator receptor M-NM-1 (PPARM-NM-1)-regulated lipid catabolic pathway genes. Markers of oxidative stress and oxidative stress-induced DNA damage were also elevated in the livers but were not correlated with severity of liver damage. These findings suggest that the PPARM-NM-1-regulated metabolism network is one of the key mechanisms determining interstrain susceptibility and severity of NAFLD in mice. Male A/J, C3H/HeJ and WSB/EiJ inbred mice were maintained on either control or choline- and folate-deficient (CFD) diets for 12 weeks. Gene expression profiles in the livers from control mice and mice fed a CFD-diet were investigated.

Project description:Mast cells are indispensable for LPS-induced septic hypothermia, in which TNF-α plays an essential role to initiate sepsis. Tec family non-receptor tyrosine kinases ITK and BTK regulate mast cell-derived TNF-α in response to allergic antigen, but their role in LPS-induced TNF-α production by mast cells and related pathology is unclear. We sought to investigate the role(s) of ITK and BTK in mast cell response in septic condition. We found that the absence of ITK and BTK leads to enhanced TNF-α production by bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC). Itk-/-Btk-/- mast cells exhibit hyperactive preformed and LPS-induced TNF-α production, along with enhanced expression of other related genes such as NF-κB targeted genes, compared to WT cells. Bone marrow cells from 8-week old WT, Itk-/-, Btk-/- and Itk-/-Btk-/- (double knockout: DKO) C57Bl/6 mice were cultured in murine Interleukin-3/Stem cell factor (IL-3/SCF) supplemented medium for 5 weeks to derive mast cells. WT, Itk-/-, Btk-/- and DKO bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) were factor starved in medium without IL-3/SCF for 12 hours, followed by treatment with PBS (control) or 100 ng/ml LPS for 1 hour. Triplicates of each group were subjected to mouse whole genome genechip microarray analysis. Replicates were randomized on different chips to avoid systematic error.

Project description:Background: UNC50 has long been recognized as a Golgi apparatus protein in yeast, and is involved in nicotinic receptor trafficking in Caenorhabditis elegans, but little is known about UNC50 gene function in human biology despite it being conserved from yeast to high eukaryotes. Objectives: We investigated the relation between UNC50 and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the potential mechanisms underlying HCC development. Methods: UNC50 mRNA expression patterns in 12 HCC and adjacent non-cancerous tissues determined using northern blotting were confirmed by real-time PCR in another 44 paired tissues. Microarray experiments were used to screen for global effects of UNC50 knockdown in the Hep3B cell line, and were confirmed by real-time PCR, western blotting, flow cytometry, and tetrazolium assay in both UNC50 overexpression and knockdown Hep3B cells. Results: UNC50 expression levels were upregulated in HCC tissues in comparison with the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. UNC50 knockdown reduced mRNA levels of the downstream targets of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway: cyclin D1 (CCND1), EGF, matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7), aldose reductase-like 1 (AKR1B10), cell surfaceM-bM-^@M-^Sassociated mucin 1 (MUC1), and gastrin (GAST). Moreover, UNC50 influenced EGF, inducing cell cycle entry by affecting cell surface EGFR amounts. Conclusions: UNC50 is a potential oncogene that promotes HCC progression by affecting the EGFR pathway. To gain insight into the role UNC50 plays in HCC progression, we used microarray analyses to identify indirect evidence of UNC50 gene function via the knockdown strategy in Hep3B cells. Hep3B cells transfected with the shRNA expression plasmids shR-467, shR-554, shR-749, and shR-MOCK were purified with 1ug/ml puromycin, and the total RNA from each cell was extracted and analyzed with oligo microarrays.

Project description:Functional-assay limitations are an emerging issue in characterizing human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). With rodent PSCs, chimera formation, using pre-implantation embryos, is the gold-standard assay of pluripotency. In hPSCs, this can only be monitored via teratoma formation or in vitro differentiation, as ethical concerns preclude generation of human-animal chimera. To circumvent this issue, we established a functional assay utilizing interspecific blastocyst injection and in vitro culture (interspecies in vitro chimera assay). The assay uses mouse pre-implantation embryos and human PSCs to make interspecies chimeras cultured in vitro to the early egg cylinder stage. When hiPSCs, both conventional and naive type, which called M-bM-^@M-^\reset cellM-bM-^@M-^], were injected into mouse embryos and cultured. The cells were never integrated into the epiblast of egg cylinder stage-embryo. These results suggest that hPSCs, including naM-CM-/ve type, are unable to form chimera with mouse embryo. Reset cells were converted from conventional human iPSC line PB004, and then compared their gene expression profile with or without transgene overexpression induced by doxycyclin treatment.
