Glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for more than 50 y as immunosuppressive drugs, yet their efficacy in macrophage-dominated disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is debated. Little is known how long-term GC treatment affects macrophage responses in inflammatory conditions. In this study, we compared the transcriptome of human macrophages, matured in the presence or absence of fluticasone propionate (FP), and their ability to initiate or sustain classical activation, mimick ...[more]

Project description:The gastrointestinal microbiota is involved in the development of various diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, by affecting nutrient acquisition, energy balance, and metabolic signaling of the host. However, the underlying mechanisms of these host-microbiota interactions remain unclear. The aim of this study was to characterize effects of the microbiota on the host epithelium using a novel gastrointestinal model based on mouse organoids. We have explored the transcriptional response of organoids upon exposure to short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and products generated by two conspicuous members of the gastrointestinal microbiota; Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. We observed that A. muciniphila metabolites affect a large variety of transcription factors and genes involved in cellular lipid metabolism and growth, supporting previous in vivo findings. F. prausnitzii products exerted only a weak effect on the host transcription profile. While, A. muciniphila, and its main metabolite propionate, both stimulate fasting-induced adipose factor/angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Fiaf/Angptl4) and Ppar? expression, important regulators of lipolysis and satiety. This work illustrates that specific members of the microbiota and their metabolites differentially modulate epithelial transcription in mouse organoid lines. Organoid culture: In short, murine (WT C57BL/6) small intestinal crypts were isolated and embedded in 250 µl Matrigel (BD Biosciences) and submerged in 500 ul basal culture medium supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin, HEPES, Glutamax, N2, B27, N-acetylcysteine, and the murine growth factors EGF, noggin, and R-spondin-1 (ENR), as previously described (Sato et al., 2009. Nature 459:262–5). Organoids were passaged every 7 days with a 1:4 splitting ratio. Exposure to bacterial cultures and SCFA: A. muciniphila (ATTC BAA-835) was grown anaerobically at 37C in a basal liquid medium which contained (per liter of deionized water) the following: 0.4g KH2PO4, 0.669g, Na2HPO4 + 2H2O, 0.3g NH4CL, 0.3gNaCl, 0.1g MgCl2 + 6H2O, 10g casitone, 1mM L-threonine, 1 ml trace mineral solution, 5mM L-fucose, and 5mM D-glucose. F. prausnitzii strain A2-165 (DSM 17677) was grown anaerobically at 37ºC a liquid medium which contained (per liter of deionized water) the following: 10 g casitone, 2.5 g yeast extract, 4 g NaHCO3, 1 ml resazurine (0.1%w/v), 0.45g K2HPO4, 0.45g KH2PO4, 0.9g (NH4)2SO4, 0.9g NaCL, 0.09g MgSO4, 0.09g CaCL2, 2.5 mM acetate, 9 mM propionate, 1 mM n-valerate, 1 mM isovalerate, 1 mM isobutyrate, 0.28g KOH, 2.5 ml ethanol (95%), 10 mg haemin,, 10 ug biotin, 10 ug cobalamin, 30 ug para-aminobenzoic acid, 50 ug folic acid, 150 ug pyridoxamine, 1 g L-cysteine, and 25 mM glucose (Duncan et al., 2002. Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. 52:2141–6). The concentration of the following organic acids and sugars were determined in the culture medium before and after growth using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a Shodex Sugar SH-G and Shodex SH1821 column as has been described previously (Stams et al., 1993. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 59:1114–9): glucose, mannose, galactose, L-fucose, glucose-N-acetylglucosamine, lactate, formate acetate, propionate, 1,2-propendiol and butyrate. Overnight-grown cultures were pelleted by centrifugation at 20 000 ×g for 10 min and supernatant was collected. At t=7 days after splitting organoids were exposed to 250 μl A. muciniphila supernatant, 250 μl unconditioned A. muciniphila culture medium, 85 μl F. prausnitzii supernatant, or 85 μl F. prausnitzii culture medium for 3 hours at 37ºC, prior to RNA extraction. 250 μl A. muciniphila supernatant and culture medium Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) sodium butyrate, sodium propionate, and sodium acetate (Sigma-Aldrich, Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands) were administered at a final concentration of 5 mM. At t=7 days after splitting mature organoids were exposed to individual SCFAs for 3 hours at 37ºC, prior to RNA extraction. Data is presented from n = 4 independent biological replicates from one line of organoids. total RNA was isolated from mouse intestinal organoids exposed for 3h to SCFA and strain-specific culture medium: Am- (organoids exposed to A. muciniphila culturing medium), Am+ (A. muciniphila-conditioned medium), Fp- (F. prausnitzii-culturing medium), Fp+ (F. prausnitzii-conditioned medium), Ace (acetate), But (butyrate), Pro (propionate) and Con (standard organoid culturing medium).

Project description:Background: Germ Cell Cancers (GCC), originating from Primordial Germ Cells /gonocytes, are the most common cancer in young men, subdivided in seminoma (SE) and non-seminoma (NS, stem cell component: embryonal carcinoma (EC)). Somatic mutations are rarely found in GCC. It has been proposed that disruption of the epigenetic constitution, either primarily or secondary (e.g. environmental influences), is involved in cancer, and specifically in GCC. Results: This study aims at identifying epigenetic footprints of SE and EC cell lines in genome-wide profiles by studying the interaction between gene expression, DNA CpG methylation and histone modifications, and their function in GCC and related disruption of germ cell maturation. Two well characterized GCC-derived cell lines were compared, one representative for SE (TCam-2) and the other for EC (NCCIT). Data was acquired using the Illumina HumanHT-12-v4 (gene expression) and HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (methylation) microarrays as well as ChIP sequencing (activating histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K27ac)). The data show that known germ cell markers are not only present and differentiating between SE and NS at the expression level, but also in the epigenetic landscape. Conclusion: The overall similarity between TCam-2 / NCCIT supports an erased embryonic gem cell arrested in early gonadal development as common origin. Subtle difference in the (integrated) epigenetic and expression profiles indicated TCam-2 to exhibit a more germ cell like profile (enrichment Androgen regulation) while NCCIT proved more pluripotent. The results provide insight into an integrated analysis of the functional genome in GCC cell lines. Two wildtype germ cell cancer (type II germ cell tumor) cell lines were analyzed. TCam-2 (representative for the seminomatous subtype of germ cell cancer) , [1, 2]) and NCCIT (representative of the non-seminomatous (embryonal carcinoma) subtype of germ cell cancer, [3]). Of each cell line two biological replicates were included. 1. Mizuno, Y., et al., [Establishment and characterization of a new human testicular germ cell tumor cell line (TCam-2)].

Project description:Propionate is a common three-carbon intermediate produced from the breakdown of propiogenic substrates, such as branched-chain amino acids and odd-numbered fatty acids, and by gut bacteria. Propionate can chemically modify proteins, and if this involves histones, it may underpin a disease-relevant link between short-chain acyls and gene expression in the heart. Here, we sought to characterize how propionate-dependent modifications to histones affect cardiac gene expression and contractile function in a mouse model producing elevated levels of propionate/propionyl-CoA. An adult mouse model of propionic acidaemia (PA) was used to investigate how propionate affects histones and gene expression in the heart, an organ strongly affected in PA patients. Mass spectrometry confirmed elevated plasma propionate in 8-week PA mice, reaching levels detected in PA patient serum. Metabolomic analyses confirmed a metabolic signature of PA, but male mice had enhanced propionate processing towards -alanine. Female PA hearts had expanded end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, and weaker systolic contractions, without major electrocardiographic changes. Ca2+ signals were deranged in female PA mice (raised diastolic Ca2+), consistent with contractile dysfunction. Differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) included Pde9a and Mme, previously linked to cardiac dysfunction. These DEGs also responded to 48-h culture of wild-type myocytes with propionate as well as butyrate, an HDAC inhibitor, suggesting a role for increased histone acetylation alongside propionylation in inducing these genes. Indeed, histone acetylation (H3K27ac) and propionylation were elevated genome-wide in the PA heart and at the promoters of Pde9a and Mme. These propionate-associated epigenetic responses were more pronounced in female PA mice. The greater prominence of epigenetic, transcriptional, and functional responses in female PA mice, despite a mostly sex-indiscriminate overall metabolic milieu, argues that histone acylation plays a defining role in the cardiac phenotype. We conclude that perturbed propionate metabolism in vivo alters histone acylation and gene expression, which impacts cardiac contractile function.
