Project description:Inter-individual variability in DNA methylation has been hypothesized to contribute to complex phenotypes through epigenetic modulation of gene expression levels. Population epigenetic studies have been examining differences in DNA methylation in a variety of accessible tissues for association with specific diseases or exposures, but relatively little is known about how this inter-individual variation differs between tissues. This study presents an analysis of global DNA methylation differences between matched peripheral blood mononuclear cells and buccal epithelial cells; specifically it examines differential DNA methylation, probe-wise DNA methylation variance, and how methylation relates to a number of demographic factors across the two tissues. We found that peripheral blood mononuclear cells have overall higher DNA methylation than buccal epithelial cells, and regions of the genome that are differently methylated between the tissues tend to have low CpG density. We also discovered that although both tissues show extensive probe-wise variability, the specific regions and magnitude of variability differed between tissues. Finally, we observed that while both buccal epithelial and peripheral mononuclear blood cell DNA methylation was associated with gender, only methylation of the latter was associated with body mass index. The work presented here offers insight into variability of DNA methylation between individuals and across tissues and the suitability of buccal epithelial and peripheral mononuclear cells for the biological questions explored by epigenome-wide association studies in human populations. This cohort consist of genomic DNA extracted from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells and buccal epithelial cells of 25 individuals, bisulphite converted and hybridized to the Illumina GoldenGate Methylation Cancer Panel for genome wide DNA methylation profiling

Project description:Cancer-host interactions play an important role in cancer development. We identified ATF3, an adaptive-response gene, in the host to facilitate metastasis. We also demonstrated that the macrophage is one of the key cell types for host-ATF3 to function. Furthermore, matrix metalloproteases 9 is a functionally important target gene of ATF3 in co-culture assays. Gene profiling with bioinformatics analyses indicated that ATF3 downstream gene-signatures derived from tumor-associated macrophages in a mouse model can distinguish human tumor stroma from M-bM-^@M-^\distantM-bM-^@M-^] stroma in and can stratify the patients into high- versus low-risk groups. Importantly, multivariate analyses indicated that high expression of ATF3 itself in mononuclear cells within breast tumors is an independent predictor for breast cancer-specific death in a cohort of patients. Approximately 21 days after orthotopic injection of PyMT breast cancer cells into syngeneic C57BL/6 mice (WT or ATF3 KO hosts) tumors were removed (tumors were ~1 cm cubic in volume), enzymatically digested to generate single cell suspensions, stained, and sorted for F4/80 and CD45 double positive cells by FACS. Isolated cells were lysed in TRIzol, processed to generate total RNA, and gene expression analyzed by microarray. Four replicate WT TAM samples and four replicate ATF3 KO TAM samples were analyzed.

Project description:Non-invasive or minimally invasive surrogate approaches to detect/predict target organ toxicity have significant practical applications in occupational toxicology. Presently, using a rat model, we have investigated the potential application of peripheral blood transcriptomics as a practical approach to study the mechanisms of silica-induced pulmonary toxicity. Rats were exposed by inhalation to crystalline silica for one week (15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day, 5 days/week). Pulmonary toxicity and global gene expression profiles of lungs and peripheral blood were determined in the control and silica exposed rats at 32-weeks following termination of silica exposure. A significant elevation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and moderate histological changes in the lungs, including type II pneumocyte hyperplasia and fibrosis, indicated silica-induced pulmonary toxicity in the rats. Similarly, significant infiltration of neutrophils and elevated monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP1) level in the lungs suggested silica-induced pulmonary inflammation in the rats. Microarray analysis of global gene expression profiles identified significant differential expression (>1.5 fold change and FDR p<0.01) of 520 and 537 genes, respectively, in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed genes demonstrated significant similarity in the biological processes, molecular networks, and canonical pathways enriched by silica exposure in the lungs and blood of the rats. Several genes involved in functions relevant to silica-induced pulmonary toxicity such as inflammation, respiratory diseases, cancer, cellular movement, fibrosis, etc, were found significantly differentially expressed in the lungs and blood of the silica exposed rats. The results of this study, in addition to providing molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity, suggested the potential application of peripheral blood gene expression profiling as a toxicologically relevant and minimally invasive surrogate approach to study the mechanisms underlying silica-induced pulmonary toxicity.

A total of 12 rat blood samples were analyzed in this gene expression experiment. Rats were exposed to crystalline silica at a concentration of 15 mg/m3, 6-hours/day for 5 consecutive days. Rats exposed simultaneously to filtered air served as the controls. The control (n=6) and silica exposed (n=6) rats were sacrificed at post-exposure time interval of 32 weeks following termination of silica exposure and blood gene expression profiles were determined.

Project description:The Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus is one of the most common causes of contagious bovine mastitis. A predominant S. aureus clone persists within its host over a long period. In the present study, we compared the surface proteome of two isolates, collected from a naturally infected dairy cow with chronic, subclinical mastitis: an initial isolate (IN) and a host-adapted strain (HA). The isolates were grown under iron- and oxygen-limiting conditions in RPMI 1640 medium. Bacterial cells were isolated at the early stationary phase and used for preparation of surface-associated proteins by applying a surface-shaving and a surface-biotinylation approach. Proteins were identified by gelfree (surface-shaving approach) and GeLC-MS/MS (biotinylation approach) analyses.

Project description:Differentiating erythroid cells execute a unique gene expression program that insures synthesis of the appropriate proteome at each stage of maturation. Standard expression microarrays provide important insight into erythroid gene expression, but cannot detect qualitative changes in transcript structure, mediated by RNA processing, that alter structure and function of encoded proteins. We analyzed stage-specific changes in the late erythroid transcriptome via use of high resolution microarrays that detect altered expression of individual exons. Ten differentiation-associated changes in erythroblast splicing patterns were identified, including the previously known activation of protein 4.1R exon 16 splicing. Six new alternative splicing switches involving enhanced inclusion of internal cassette exons were discovered, as well as three changes in use of alternative first exons. All of these erythroid stage-specific splicing events represent activated inclusion of authentic annotated exons, suggesting they represent an active regulatory process rather than a general loss of splicing fidelity. The observation that three of the regulated transcripts encode RNA binding proteins (SNRP70, HNRPLL, MBNL2) may indicate significant changes in the RNA processing machinery of late erythroblasts. Together these results support the existence of a regulated alternative pre-mRNA splicing program that is critical for late erythroid differentiation. Keywords: Time course; Splicing-sensitive microarray For Exon array hybridizations: 3 biological replicates of day 7, 2 biological replicates of day 10, 3 biological replicates of day 14; For HJAY array hybridizations: 5 biological replicates each were analyzed from day 7 and day 14. One day 14 replicate was deemed an outlier and removed from subsequent analyses.
