C57BL6/J livers exposed to low fat and high fat diet, wild-type vs Cyp1b1 null

ABSTRACT: Investigating the transcriptional changes in mouse livers exposed to low and high fat diets for 11 weeks. Determine what gene changes in the Cyp1b1 null livers may be contributing to prevention of increased adiposity when givin a high fat diet. Three Comparison experiment. Comparing wild-type low fat vs Cyp1b1 null low fat, wild-type high fat vs Cyp1b1 null high fat and low fat vs high in wild-type mice. Sample size is 3 per group. Limma analysis data provided in Series supplementary file (Normalized log2 ratio of (Cy3/Cy5) representing test group/control group).

Project description:The p53 homologue, p63, is critical for normal epidermal development. While overexpression of deltaNp63alpha has been reported in squamous cell cancers, the contribution of p63 to cancer pathogenesis remains unclear. We previously demonstrated that overexpressed deltaNp63alpha aberrantly maintains proliferation of primary epidermal keratinocytes under conditions that normally induce growth arrest and differentiation. To identify target genes impacted by dysregulated deltaNp63alpha that may contribute to squamous cancer development and progression, microarray analyses were performed. Herein we report that elevated deltaNp63alpha differentially regulates genes in primary mouse keratinocytes involved in a variety of cellular functions, including cell cycle regulation, differentiation, skin barrier formation and function, apoptosis, host defense/inflammation, adhesion, migration and invasion. Of note, multiple protease inhibitor mRNAs were coordinately downregulated under both proliferating and differentiating culture conditions. These downregulated genes include two serine protease inhibitors: maspin (serpinB5) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2; serpinB2), as well as a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3). Correspondingly, secreted levels of TIMP-3 and PAI-2 protein declined in the presence of dysregulated deltaNp63alpha, while secreted maspin protein levels remained stable. Intracellular maspin protein expression decreased in response to overexpressed deltaNp63alpha, as did intracellular PAI-2. Unlike PAI-2 and maspin, TIMP-3 protein was not detected intracellularly in control or deltaNp63alpha-overexpressing keratinocytes, supporting a solely extracellular function for TIMP-3. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using a p53/p63 consensus DNA binding sequence from the maspin promoter revealed binding of an endogenous transcription factor(s) to the consensus sequence in normal keratinocytes that was disrupted by overexpressed deltaNp63alpha. This binding was also interrupted by the addition of a p73 antibody, but not antibodies to p63 or p53, and was absent in samples derived from p73(-/-) keratinocytes, confirming p73 as a constituent of the endogenous transcription factor complex. These data suggest protease inhibitors as novel targets of dysregulated deltaNp63alpha in cancer pathogenesis. Keratinocytes were transduced with adenoviruses encoding deltaNp63alpha. Keratinocytes were either maintained in low calcium conditions (0.05 mM for 24 hours) (n=6) or high calcium conditions (0.12 mM for 24 hours) (n=6). Control samples consisted of keratinocytes transduced with adenoviruses encoding beta-galactosidase also treated with low calcium (n=6) and high calcium (n=6) conditions. Twelve technical repeat microarray experiments were conducted, pairing high-calcium deltaNp63alpha samples with high-calcium beta-galactosidase samples (n=6) and low-calcium deltaNp63alpha samples with low-calcium beta-galactosidase samples (n=6). Six of the technical repeats were conducted as reverse-fluoro experiments.
