Project description:The aim was to examine changes in gene expression of the endometrium exposed to long-term tamoxifen treatment in comparison to age matched controls. To achieve this, endometrial tissues were obtained from women receiving tamoxifen treatment who were undergoing a hysterectomy. Using cDNA microarrays, gene expression changes in the postmenopausal endometrium of these women was compared with that in endometrium of age matched women not receiving tamoxifen. Endometrial tissue from post-menopausal women was obtained following ethical approval from the Leicester NHS Trust. None of the women had received any hormonal treatment for two months prior to the procurement of the specimens. Tissues were taken from untreated women (n=6) or those treated for 4 to 5 years with tamoxifen (20mg/day) (n=4), aged 58-82 (65 ± 9.1, mean ± SD). Total RNA was extracted. Controls were pooled. RNA labelling, hybridisation and analysis of fluorescence was carried out as described by Turton et al (2001). Cy3/Cy5 Dye swap labelling was carried out on samples from each patient.

Project description:Identify genes with increased transcript abundance after low oxygen stress in Drosophila adults. There are 6 Oregon-R experiments comparing low oxygen exposed to normal oxygen. Samples 1-4 have hypoxic RNA labeled with cy5, and samples 5&6 are dye-swaps with the hypoxic RNA labeled with cy3. Samples 7&8 are Sb/Tm3 flies to control for background effects.

Project description:Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit an endophilic, nocturnal blood feeding behavior. Despite the importance of light as a regulator of malaria transmission, our knowledge on the molecular interactions between environmental cues, the circadian oscillators and the host seeking and feeding systems of the Anopheles mosquitoes is limited. In the present study, we show that the blood feeding behavior of mosquitoes is under circadian control and can be modulated by light pulses, both in a clock dependent and in an independent manner. Short light pulses (~2-5 min) in the dark phase can inhibit the blood-feeding propensity of mosquitoes momentarily in a clock independent manner, while longer durations of light stimulation (~1-2 h) can induce a phase advance in blood-feeding propensity in a clock dependent manner. The temporary feeding inhibition after short light pulses may reflect a masking effect of light, an unknown mechanism which is known to superimpose on the true circadian regulation. Nonetheless, the shorter light pulses resulted in the differential regulation of a variety of genes including those implicated in the circadian control, suggesting that light induced masking effects also involve clock components. Light pulses (both short and longer) also regulated genes implicated in feeding as well as different physiological processes like metabolism, transport, immunity and protease digestions. RNAi-mediated gene silencing assays of the light pulse regulated circadian factors timeless, cryptochrome and three takeout homologues significantly up-regulated the mosquito's blood-feeding propensity. In contrast, gene silencing of light pulse regulated olfactory factors down-regulated the mosquito's propensity to Our study suggests that the mosquitoâs feeding behavior is under circadian control. Long and short light pulses can induce inhibition of blood-feeding through circadian and unknown mechanisms, respectively, that involve chemosensory factors. A series of assays were performed to assess transcriptomic changes in mosquitoes upon light stimulation and blood feeding in order to assess relationships between photic stimulation and modulation of feeding behavior.

Project description:Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), is an effective treatment for breast cancers. In the CD-1 mouse model, neonatal oral dosing with tamoxifen leads to the development of adenomyosis. Both 4-hydroxyestradiol and tamoxifen can form DNA-reactive metabolites and may be involved in carcinogenesis of the uterus. After comparing the uterotrophic response of several SERMs the maximal uterotrophic doses of estradiol (100mg/kg) 4-hydroxyestradiol (385mg/kg) and tamoxifen (250mg/kg) were determined. Maximal uterotrophic doses were given orally to newborn CD-1 mice on days 1 â 4 after birth and gene and pathological changes examined in the uterus at 3 months after dosing. ERKOa knockout mice were dosed orally with tamoxifen (1mg/Kg) on days 1 â 4 after birth and uterine gene expression compared with CD-1 mice. Dosing groups: Estradiol (E2): 100mg/Kg 4-hydroxyestradiol (4OHE2): 385mg/Kg Tamoxifen : 250mg/Kg ERKO mice dosed with tamoxifen (1mg/Kg) 4 dosed animals and 4 controls for each treatment group. Uteri removed at 3 months after dosing and total RNA extracted. Controls were pooled. RNA labelling, hybridisation and analysis of fluorescence was carried out as described by Turton et al (2001). Cy3/Cy5 dye swap labelling was carried out on samples from each animal. Reference: Turton NJ et. al. (Oncogene (2001) 20, 1300-1306

Project description:Treatment with the breast cancer drug tamoxifen confers a risk of developing uterine tumors or other endometrial pathologies. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, which demonstrates tissue-specific activity although the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Both estradiol and tamoxifen act as estrogen agonists on the human uterus, and therefore have the potential to promote carcinogenicity. Estradiol and tamoxifen elicit cellular responses via the estrogen receptors (ER), which are involved in multiple signalling pathways. The effects at the molecular level are further influenced by the differential recruitment of co-factors and the presence of specific promoter motifs in target genes. In this study, ER positive (+) Ishikawa cells are used as a model to investigate the overall effect of treatment with either 17b-estradiol or 4-hydroxytamoxifen on the gene expression profiles. Ishikawa cells were serum-starved for 72 hours prior to treatment with 10-8M 17b-estradiol (E2) or 10-6M 4-hydroxytamoxifen (tam) for 24 or 48 hours. Cells were collected for total RNA extraction, and the quality and quantity of the RNA was determined spectrophotometrically. cDNA was prepared from treated (tam or E2) and control (vehicle only) Ishikawa cells, and was both forward and reverse labelled using Cy-3 dUTP/ Cy-5 dUTP and hybridised to oligo microarray slides representing >19,000 human genes (MRC HGMP-RFC). The data were analysed using GenePix Pro 3.0 software (Axon instruments) and statistical analyses applied to select significant gene changes (p<0.05).

Project description:The effects of elevated CO2 (hypercapnia) on organisms are not well known, nor are the molecular pathways by which organisms sense CO2. We have performed microarray analysis on Drosophila in order to develop a genetic model for better understanding the effects of CO2. Equal numbers of 5-day old male and female flies (at least 40 total) were exposed to 13% CO2 or air for 24h and RNA extracted. Gene expression changes in CO2 compared with air were analyzed. Experiments were performed in triplicate and the 3 separate microarray experiments are included.
