Expression data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of subjects supplemented with vitamin C [Affymetrix gene array analysis]

ABSTRACT: A role of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as an antioxidant molecule has been recognized, largely based on in vitro studies. However, more recently, the concept of M-bM-^@M-^\antioxidant moleculeM-bM-^@M-^] has been reconsidered and its biological function is no longer considered to be simply due to its ability to act as M-bM-^@M-^\electron donorsM-bM-^@M-^], rather, it appears to act by modulating signaling and gene expression. In order to gain a better understanding of the effects of vitamin C supplementation on gene expression in both physiological and pro-inflammatory conditions, we performed a pilot explorative intervention study based on the utilization of microarray and qPCR technologies, designed on a M-bM-^@M-^\in vivo-ex vivoM-bM-^@M-^] structure Five healthy subjects (three males and 2 females, aged 25-40) were recruited for a short term (five days) intervention study. Subjects were asked to assume one tablet of RedoxonM-BM-. (Bayer), a day (containing 1 gr of ascorbate), for 5 days. A baseline blood withdrawal was performed in fasting condition, just before the first vitamin C tablet. Tablets were provided to the volunteers, every morning at the same hour for the following 4 days of the study. The last tablet was supplemented about 1,5 hour before the second and last blood withdrawal, performed again in fasting condition. Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) were obtained . PBMNC from each subject were splitted in three aliquots: one was stored in lysis buffer at -80M-BM-0C and utilized to isolate RNA for the Affymetrix gene array analysis. The other two aliquots were resuspended in RPMI 1640 w/o phenol red containing 10% of autologous plasma: one was incubated with 10 ug/ml lipopolysaccharides (LPS) for 5 hours at 37M-BM-0C. At the end of the incubation time, the medium was collected and stored at -80M-BM-0C for the assessment of cytokine release in response to the inflammatory stimuli. RNA was extracted from the pelleted cells for gene expression analysis, using the Human NFkB Signaling 96 StellARrayM-bM-^DM-" qPCR array (Lonza). The results obtained with PBMNC isolated after vitamin C supplementation (supplemented PBMNC) were compared to those obtained with PBMNC isolated before the supplementation (baseline PBMNC), for each subject.

Project description:Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential precursor for the production of retinoic acid (RA), which in turn is a major regulator of gene expression, affecting cell differentiation throughout the body. Understanding how vitamin A nutritional status, as well as therapeutic retinoid treatment, regulates the expression of retinoid homeostatic genes is important for improving dietary recommendations and therapeutic strategies using retinoids. This study investigated genes central to processes of retinoid uptake and storage, release to plasma, and oxidation in the liver of rats under steady-state conditions after different exposures to dietary vitamin A (deficient, marginal, adequate and supplemented), and acutely after administration of a therapeutic dose of all-trans-RA. Over a very wide range of dietary vitamin A, lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) as well as multiple cytochrome P450s (CYP26A1, CYP26B1, and CYP2C22) differed by diet and were highly correlated with one another and with vitamin A status assessed by liver retinol concentration (all correlations, P<0.05). After acute treatment with RA, the same genes were rapidly and concomitantly induced, preceding RARß, a classical direct target of RA. CYP26A1 mRNA exhibited the greatest dynamic range (change of log26 in 3 h). Moreover, CYP26A1 increased more rapidly in the liver of RA-primed rats than naïve rats. By in situ hybridization, CYP26A1 mRNA was strongly regulated within hepatocytes, closely resembling RBP4 in location. Overall, whether RA is produced endogenously from retinol or administered exogenously, changes in retinoid homeostatic gene expression simultaneously favor both retinol esterification and RA oxidation, with CYP26A1 exhibiting the greatest dynamic change. All rats were housed in a room maintained at 22°C with a 12-h dark:light cycle, and food and water were freely available. For the Steady-State Vitamin A Study (experiment 1) and the Retinoic Acid 16-hour Kinetic Study (experiment 2), lactating female Sprague-Dawley rats with 12 female pups (purchased from Charles River Laboratories, Willmington, MA) were fed a vitamin A-deficient purified diet [AIN-93G diet, prepared by Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ] to reduce the transfer of vitamin A in milk from mother to pups prior to the start of the study. For experiment 1, from weaning, the offspring were fed the same diet modified to contain vitamin A at one of four levels: 0 (vitamin A deficient), 0.4 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A marginal), 4 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A adequate control), or 100 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A supplemented). All rats were studied at 8 weeks of age. Rats were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and blood and liver were collected rapidly and frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C before analysis. In experiment 2, at 8 weeks of age female vitamin A-deficient rats were treated with ~100 ug of All-trans-Retinoic acid (at-RA) for 0 (vehicle only), 3, 6, 10 or 16 h (n=3-4/group). Tissues were collected and RNA was prepared in the same manner as in experiment 1. In the 90-minute "first pass" kinetic study (experiment 3), female rats were purchased at 6 weeks of age and fed a stock rodent diet. When the rats were 8 weeks old they were assigned to a control (naïve) group. Rats in the naive group received an equal amount of vehicle only (vegetable oil/5% ethanol). Food was removed immediately. Sixteen hours after priming, each rat was lightly anesthetized by isoflurane-oxygen inhalation and treated with ~25 ug all-trans-RA bound to albumin [10 ug RA per 100 g bo dy weight], injected into the exposed left common iliac vein. The incision was closed with a surgical staple. The rats were allowed to recover from the anesthesia. Rats were killed at 0 minute (vehicle injection), and 30, 60, and 90 min (n = 3/group) after injection of the RA test dose. Rats were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and blood and liver were collected rapidly and frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C before analysis. For experiment 1, five biological repeats were Vitamin A deficient, seven biological repeats were Vitamin A marginal, six biological repeats were Vitamin A adequate, and two biological repeats were Vitamin A supplemented. In experiment 2, three biological repeats were performed for each of the following treatments: untreated, at-RA for 3 hours, at-RA for 6 hours and at-RA for 16 hours. Four biological repeats were treated with at-RA for 10 hours. For experiment 3, two biological repeats were untreated and three biological repeats were performed for each of the following at-RA treatment times: 30, 60 and 90 minutes. A total of 47 samples were analyzed.

Project description:GCC was used to determine the structure of E. coli grown in LB or treated with SHX. The bacterial genome is highly condensed into a nucleoid structure. Here we present global analyses of the genome spatial organization for two M-NM-3-proteobacteria: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Genome Conformation Capture. Long distance interactions occurred within the E. coli and P. aeruginosa nucleoids with frequencies that were affected by growth condition and gene dosage. Spatial clustering of genes that are either up or down-regulated depended on the environmental signals, indicating a non-random functional organization of the nucleoid. The largest changes in gene expression upon amino acid starvation occurred in genes that participate in long-range interactions. These genes remained highly spatially clustered when transcript levels decreased. Environment specific interactions were related to DNA motifs but did not correlate with binding sites for nucleoid associated proteins. Overall we identify spatial organization as a significant factor in bacterial gene regulation and suggest that the prokaryotic operon is not simply a linear entity. 4 samples grown in LB; 4 samples treated with SHX. For Genome Conformation Capture (GCC) analyses, E. coli strains were recovered from -80M-BM-0C on LB agar (2%) plates for 24 hours. LB medium (3ml) starter cultures were inoculated and grown (37M-BM-0C, 220rpm, 16h). The Optical Density (OD600) of cultures was measured and used to inoculate LB test cultures to an OD600 of ~0.02. The test cultures were grown (37M-BM-0C, 220rpm) until the OD600 reached ~0.25 and then harvested. For the serine hydroximate (SHX) treated samples the cultures were treated with SHX (500 M-BM-5g/ml, 30 min) before harvesting. E. coli chromatin was prepared according to Rodley et al. (2009)with the following modifications. A total of 5*109 cells were cross-linked with formaldehyde (1% final v/v, 20min, RT) and then quenched with glycine (125mM final, 10min). Cells were collected by centrifugation (4000rpm, 15min, 4M-BM-0C), washed twice (1% PBS, 1% TritonX-100, 5ml/50ml culture) and pelleted (4000rpm, 15min, 4M-BM-0C). Cell pellets were suspended in 800M-NM-<l of B1 lysis buffer (10mM Tris pH 8.0, 50mM NaCl, 10mM EDTA, 20% (w/v) sucrose, 1mg/ml lysozyme) and incubated (37M-BM-0C, 30min). 800M-NM-<l of B2 lysis buffer (200mM Tris pH 8.0, 600mM NaCl, 4% TritonX-100, 1 protease inhibitor tablet (Roche) per 10ml of buffer added just before use) was gently added, mixed by inversion 3-4 times and incubated (37M-BM-0C, 10min). The cell lysate was centrifuged (21,500g, 20min, 4M-BM-0C) and the supernatant decanted. The chromatin was washed once with 1ml of chromatin digestion buffer (10mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 5mM MgCl2, 0.1% TritonX-100) by inverting the tube 3-4 times and centrifuged (21,500g, 20min, 4M-BM-0C). The supernatant was decanted and the chromatin pellet was suspended in 500M-NM-<l chromatin digestion buffer. Chromatin samples were aliquoted into 10 sets of 5*108 cells. Samples were digested with HhaI (100U, New England Biolabs). Following digestion a ligation control was added and the samples were ligated with T4 DNA ligase (20U, Invitrogen). Following ligation, cross-links were removed in the presence of proteinase K (0.45U, Fermentas). RNA was removed and pUC19 plasmid (27.4pg/2ml) was added as a sequencing control prior to three extractions with 1:1 Phenol:Chloroform. DNA was column purified (Zymo, DNA clean and concentratorTM-5 kit) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions and eluted in milliQ H2O before combining for sequencing. 3M-NM-<g of purified DNA was sent for pared-end sequencing at the ATC sequencing facility (Rockville, MD, USA) on an Illumina Hi-Seq. External ligation controls were produced by PCR amplification of short regions from the Lambda phage genome and the pRS426. Primers (Table S4 were designed to include an HhaI site at one end of the final product. PCR products were purified using a PCR purification kit (Qiagen), digested with HhaI (4U, 37M-BM-0C, 2h) and purified again. Purified, digested PCR products were introduced into the GCC samples at a 1:1 ratio with the number of genomes prior to the ligation step during GCC preparation. The pRS426 fragment was introduced into the exponential phase (LB grown) samples and resulted in 220 separate ligation events with HhaI restriction fragments on the genome. The Lambda phage fragment was introduced into the SHX treated samples and resulted in 2 ligation events with HhaI fragments on the genome. Network assembly was performed using the Topography suite v1.19. GCC networks were constructed from 100bp (E. coli) paired end Illumina Genome Analyser sequence reads. Topography uses the SOAP algorithm to position PE tags and single ends which contain a HhaI (E. coli) restriction site onto the E. coli (NC_000913) reference genomes, respectively. Each reference genome also contained the pUC19 (SYNPUC19CV) sequence. For the E. coli alignment the sequences of the pRS426 plasmid and Lambda phage ligation controls were also included in the file to which the sequences were aligned. No mismatches or unassigned bases (N) were allowed during positioning. Except where indicated, bioinformatics and statistical analyses were performed on interactions in which the sequence reads were able to be mapped uniquely onto the reference genome and were above the FDR cut-off value (5). All bioinformatics analysis was perfumed using in house Perl scripts.
