ABSTRACT: Here we describe our unprecedented approach in proposing parsley (PAR) as a nutraceutical intervention in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using a mouse model of dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced colitis, following a multi-integrated-omics analysis. PAR supplementation (n=7) significantly improved colon shortening and increased the disease activity index compared to the DSS group (n=7). The colonic transcriptome revealed the down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines, and the hepatic transcriptome and metabolome revealed the up-regulation of fatty acid synthesis genes, thereby improving body weight loss. Down-regulated cancer markers were observed in the hepatic transcriptome and proteome. A global plasma metabolite analysis indicated shifts in the citric cycle and urea cycle, implicating improved impaired glycolysis and oxidative stress. Our integration of three omics analyses highlighted the involvement of the methionine-recycling pathway and PARM-bM-^@M-^Ys role in decreasing the risk of IBD. This pioneering use of multi-integrated-omics in the evaluation of nutrientsM-bM-^@M-^Y effects on physiology is expected to be widely useful and informative, shaping the future of nutritional research.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition characterized by severe intestinal inflammation and immune cell activation. The severity of the disease can be mitigated by compounds which activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma), a receptor present widely in tissues involved in IBD pathogenesis. Our objective was to assess the affect of macrophage-specific deficiency of PPAR gamma on peripheral and colonic immune populations and colonic gene expression in experimental IBD. Macrophage-specific PPAR gamma-deficient mice (PPAR gamma flfl Lysozyme M Cre+) and control (PPAR gamma flfl Lysozyme M Cre-) littermates were treated with 2.5% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) for 7 days. Disease activity was recorded daily and immune cell populations in the blood, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), and lamina propria were examined by flow cytometry. Colonic gene expression was assessed by real time PCR and microarray analyses. Our findings show that macrophage PPAR r-deficiency significantly exacerbates DSS inflammation. CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (T-regs) were significantly reduced in Cre+ mice, and MLN macrophages and CD40 expression were enhanced. There were significant differences in the number colonic macrophages between Cre+ and Cre- mice, but those from Cre+ mice expressed more CD40, Ly6C, and TLR-4. PPAR r-deficiency also increased the percent of CD8+ T cells in the lamina propria and enhanced colonic interferon gamma expression. Our findings indicate that macrophage PPAR gamma deficiency augments the severity of DSS colitis by reducing peripheral T-regs and increasing colonic macrophage activation and T cell inflammation. RNA from 3 PPAR gamma-deficient mice (PPAR gamma flfl; Lysozyme M Cre+) and 3 control (PPAR gamma flfl; Lysozyme M Cre-) littermates was processed and labeled according to the standard target labeling protocols. The samples were hybridized, stained, and scanned per standard Affymetrix protocols at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) core laboratory on Mouse 430 2.0 expression arrays (Affymetrix Inc., Santa Clara, CA).

Project description:Nonresolving inflammation is correlated to carcinogenesis. Ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC), one of the typical carcinoma generated by inflammation that cannot be resolved properly, has been widely believed to involve a multistep process contains M-bM-^@M-^\inflammation-dysplasia-cancerM-bM-^@M-^] sequence. The exact molecular mechanisms underlying the step-wise development of UC-CRC is still not fully understood. Detecting the changes in gene expression profiles may help to reveal why and how does the prolonged inflammatory response lead to carcinogenesis, and to characterize potential diagnostic/prognostic markers or additional therapeutic targets for UC-CRC. There for, we performed temporal genome expression profiling analysis using the Affymetrix genome wide microarray system to identify broad scale changes in gene expression associated with the development of colitis-associated cancer, based on an AOM/DSS induced mouse model of UC-CRC. 6-week-old male ICR mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of AOM (10mg/kg) at Day 1, followed by three cycles of DSS administration (cycle 1: 2%, Day 8~14; cycle 2: 1.5%, Day 29~33; cycle 3: 1.5%, Day 50~54) in the drinking water. Instead, control group of mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of saline (10mg/kg) at Day 1 and distilled water drinking from the beginning to the end without DSS. Colorectal tissues were collected at days 14, 28, 42, 56 and 140 (at the end of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 20th week) from the AOM/DSS group and at day 14 from the control group. Pathological changes of each sample were identified under microscope. Samples collected at the end of the 2nd week were inflamed mucosae, the 4th week were low grade dysplasias, the 6th week were high grade dysplasias, the 8th week were high grade dysplasias with active inflammation, the 20th week were carcinomas, and the control sample were normal mucosae. Total RNA were extracted and detected by Affymerix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) acting as negative regulators of gene expression are differentially expressed in intestinal tissues of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Assessing the functional role of miRNAs in murine models of colitis facilitates elucidating the role of specific miRNAs in human IBD. The aim of this study was to determine the miRNA signature of murine models of colitis and to assess the influence of miR-21 on intestinal inflammation. Methods: miRNAs expression was accessed by microarray for acute and chronic murine model of colitis induced by DSS or TNBS. miR-21-deficient mouse and littermates controls were assessed in the standard DSS, TNBS and CD4+ T cell transfer models of colitis. RNAs of mouse colon and CD4+CD45RBHigh cells were analyzed by miRNA and mRNA microarray, and quantitative RT-PCR. Th1 polarization was accessed by flow-cytometry and ELISA. Results: Alterations of in miRNAs expression were identified for acute and chronic DSS colitis and TNBS colitis, receptively. The Expression of miRs-21, -142-3p and -223 was were distinct between DSS and TNBS models while overlap of numerous miRNAs was seen. Importantly, miRs-19b, -192 and -215, that are decreased in IBD, were significantly decreased in all 4 models of colitis. miR-21, which is increased in IBD, was increased in TNBS colitis but not the DSS colitis models. Further assessment of the miR-21-deficient 1-/- mice revealed that the deletion of miR-21 results in the exacerbation of both the TNBS and T cell-transfer models of colitis. Conclusions: miRNAs are differentially expressed in both human IBD and murine colitis, with overlap of several IBD-associated miRNAs. The demonstration that miR-21 deletion exacerbated CD4+ T cell-mediated models of colitis provides further evidence that miRNAs play significant roles in the pathogenesis of IBD. miRNAs expression was accesed for acute and chronic murine model of colitis induced by DSS or TNBS.Total of 20 samples with duplicates were analyed in this study.

Project description:Evidence suggests that epigenetic perturbations are involved in the adverse effects associated with some drugs and toxicants, including certain classes of non-genotoxic carcinogens. Such epigenetic changes (altered DNA methylation and covalent histone modifications) may take place at the earliest stages of carcinogenesis and their identification holds great promise for biomedical research. Here, we evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of genome-wide epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling in phenobarbital (PB)-treated B6C3F1 mice, a well-characterized rodent model of non-genotoxic liver carcinogenesis. Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)-coupled microarray profiling of 17,967 promoter regions and 4,566 intergenic CpG islands was combined with genome-wide mRNA expression profiling to identify liver tissue-specific PB-mediated DNA methylation and transcriptional alterations. Only a limited number of significant anti-correlations were observed between PB-induced transcriptional and promoter-based DNA methylation perturbations. However, the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) target gene Cyp2b10 was found to be concomitantly hypomethylated and transcriptionally activated in a liver tissue-specific manner following PB treatment. Furthermore, analysis of active and repressive histone modifications using chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed a strong PB-mediated epigenetic switch at the Cyp2b10 promoter. Our data reveal that PB-induced transcriptional perturbations are not generally associated with broad changes in the DNA methylation status at proximal promoters and suggest that the drug-inducible CAR pathway regulates an epigenetic switch from repressive to active chromatin at the target gene Cyp2b10. This study demonstrates the utility of integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling for elucidating early mechanisms and biomarkers of non-genotoxic carcinogenesis. 29M-bM-^@M-^S32 days old male B6C3F1/Crl (C57BL/6 M-bM-^YM-^B x C3H/He M-bM-^YM-^@) mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Germany). Animals were allowed to acclimatise for 5 days prior to being randomly divided into two treatment groups (n = 10) and phenobarbital (Sigma 04710, 0.05% (w/v) in drinking water) was administered to one group through ad libitum access to drinking water for 28 days. Mice were checked daily for activity and behavior and sacrificed on the last day of dosing (day 28). Blood was withdrawn for PK analysis and target (liver) and non-target (kidney) tissues removed, split into several sections, frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at M-bM-^HM-^R80M-BM-0C for subsequent analyses. Total RNA from liver and kidney was purified and processed for Affymetrix gene expression profiling while genomic DNA was prepared for promoter array based methylome analysis using the Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) procedure. Remaining tissue material was used for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to analyze histone modifications at individual promoters. Plasma samples were also collected to evaluate phenobarbital exposure in individual animals by LC-MS.
