Project description:Analysis of skeletal muscle from taurine transporter (TauT) knockout mice at 3 or 18 months of age. Knocking out TauT result in a decrease in muscle cell size, impaired exercise capacity and accelerated muscle aging. Results provide molecular insights into physiological role of taurine.

Project description:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common disorder and is responsible for considerable disability in global functioning, anorexia, and severer medical comorbidity. Recently, some reports showed the relationship between MDD and the metabolic disorders such as diabetes. We examined gene expression profiles in the mice prefrontal cortex using genome-wide microarray technology, and determined gene expression profiles with and without chronic mild stress(CMS) for 4 weeks which was often used to make models of depression. To analyze the candidate genes involved in not only depression but dysfunction of physiological homeostasis like diabetes, we campared the gene expression levels between with and without CMS, then we isolated 494 genes showing a more than 2-fold increase or a less than 1/2-fold decrease, in addition, we chose the isolated genes transcriptional products of both samples were confirmed clearly. The prefrontal cortex of C57Bl/6 N sea mice with and without CMS. We mixed tatal RNA from 7 mice prefrontal cortex per each.

Project description:Taurine is known to be important for fetal well being and to be able to prevent effects of a low birthweight phenotype when supplemented to pregnant dams. We hypothesized that gestational taurine supplementation would affect gene expression level in 4w offspring liver and skeletal muscle. Pregnant mouse dams were subjected to different diet schemes from day 1 of pregnancy until birth. Pups were killed at 4 weeks of age and liver and quadriceps skeletal muscle taken out and frozen at -80C until analysis. Diet schemes: Normal Protein (20% casein; NP), Normal Protein + taurine (1% taurine supplementation in water ad libitum; NP+tau). The liver and muscle samples were normalized separately.

Project description:Taurine ameliorates changes occurring in newborn skeletal muscle as a result of gestational protein restriction in C57BL/6 mice, but taurine supplementation effects may be exaggerated in C57BL/6 mice due to their inherent excessive taurinuria. We examined if maternal taurine supplementation could ameliorate changes in gene expression levels, properties of mitochondria, myogenesis, and nutrient transport and sensing, in male newborn skeletal muscle caused by a maternal low protein (LP) diet in Wistar rats. LP diet resulted in an 11% non-significant decrease in birth weight, which was not rescued by taurine supplementation (LP-Tau). LP-Tau offspring had signifi-cantly lower birth weight compared to controls. Gene expression profiling revealed 895 significantly changed genes, mainly an LP-induced down-regulation of genes involved in protein translation. Taurine fully or partially rescued 32% of these changes, but with no distinct pattern as to which genes were rescued. Skeletal muscle taurine content in LP-Tau offspring was increased, but no changes in mRNA levels of the taurine synthesis pathway were observed. Taurine transporter mRNA levels, but not protein levels, were increased by LP diet. Nutrient sensing pathways were largely unaffected in LP or LP-Tau groups, although taurine supplementation caused an unexpected decrease in total Akt and AMPK protein levels. PAT4 amino acid transporter mRNA was increased by LP, and normalized by taurine supplementation. In conclusion, gestational protein restriction in rats decreased genes involved in protein translation in newborn skeletal muscle and led to changes in nutrient transporters. Taurine partly rescued these changes, hence underscoring the im-portance of taurine in development. We used microarrays to detail changes in global programme of gene expression in newborn offspring skeletal muscle brains from rats subjected to either a control diet, a low protein diet or a low protein diet + taurine supplementation

Project description:Taurine was previously reported to increase the proliferation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) from subventricular zone of the mouse brain. The results of a study that aimed to understand the mechanisms of this effect are presented here. A gene expression profile analysis indicated that genes regulated by taurine have roles in proliferation, cellular adhesion, cell survival, and mitochondrial functioning. Together with additional functional analyses, the results suggest that taurine provides more favorable conditions for cell proliferation by improving mitochondrial functioning. The total RNA from the control and taurine NPC cultures was used to produce tagged complementary DNA (cDNA) probes. Hybridation analysis used the mouse 65-mer oligo library from Sigma-Genosys to compare the expression of 23,232 gene-specific oligonucleotide probes for mouse.

Project description:Prostatic inflammation plays a role in the progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Eviprostat is an antiinflammatory and antioxidant phytotherapeutic agent widely used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms in BPH. However, because Eviprostat is a mixture of compounds from multiple natural sources, its mechanism of action has been difficult to investigate. In this study, we used oligonucleotide microarrays to identify changes in gene expression that occur in the prostate of rats with surgically induced partial bladder outlet obstruction and the effect of Eviprostat on those changes. Male rats were divided into four groups of five or six animals each. The rats in groups 1 and 2 underwent a sham operation. Five days after the sham operation, group 1 was treated twice a day with vehicle (0.1% (w/v) Tween 80; sham/vehicle group) and group 2 was treated twice a day with 18 mg/kg Eviprostat (36 mg/kg daily; sham/Eviprostat group). The rats in groups 3 and 4 underwent surgical partial bladder outlet obstruction. Briefly, with the rat in the supine position, a midline suprapubic incision was made and the bilateral prostate was retracted to expose the neck of the bladder and the urethra, care being taken not to damage the bladder. The loose connective tissue at the base of the bladder was dissected away from the proximal urethra. A rubber ring was cut open and placed around the proximal urethra, and a 4-0 silk ligature was tied around the rubber ring. From the day after the operation, group 3 was treated twice a day for five days with vehicle (operated/vehicle group) and group 4 was treated twice a day for five days with 18 mg/kg Eviprostat (36 mg/kg daily; operated/Eviprostat group). On the sixth day, 2 h after the last administration, the rats were sacrificed and the prostate was rapidly removed.

Project description:Taurine is a supplement used to bolster immunity, but how taurine affects antitumor immunity remains largely unknown. We report that SLC6A6-mediated uptake of taurine by gastric cancer (GC) cells results in T cell exhaustion and cancer progression. SLC6A6 was correlated with GC aggressiveness and poor outcomes, and taurine uptake increased GC proliferation, survival, and cell motility. Taurine significantly increased CD8+ T cell infiltration and cytotoxic effector expression in GC tumors. Mechanistically, taurine deprivation in CD8+ T cells increased ER stress and the unfolded protein response, resulting in AT4 transcription, which acts as a switch for T cell exhaustion. SLC6A6 was transactivated by SP1 in GC cells, with a strong correlation between SP1 and SLC6A6 in GC patients. The SP1-SLC6A6 axis was triggered by chemotherapy. Our findings reveal that SLC6A6-mediated taurine consumption impacts immune evasion and propose that taurine supplementation might reinvigorate CD8+ T cell response and enhance therapy efficacy.

Project description:Taurine-respiring gut bacteria produce H2S with ambivalent impact on host health. We report the isolation and ecophysiological characterization of the first taurine-respiring mouse gut bacterium. Taurinivorans muris represents a new widespread species that differs from the human gut sulfidogen Bilophila wadsworthia in its sulfur metabolism pathways and host distribution. T. muris specializes in taurine respiration in vivo, seemingly unaffected by mouse diet and genotype, but is dependent on other bacteria for release of taurine from bile acids. This dataset contains the total proteomic data from three independent growth conditions.
