Stretch-dependent genes in vascular smooth muscle cells

ABSTRACT: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) respond to biomechanical stretch with specific changes in gene expression which govern the phenotype of these cells. The mechanotransducer zyxin is a potential candidate for regulating the expression of such genes. Using microarrays, we compared stretch-induced gene expression in wild type and zyxin-null VSMCs to define such changes in detail. Wild type (WT) and zyxin-null VSMCs were stretched at 10% cyclic elongation for 6 hours and the changes in gene expression were compared under static and stretched conditions. Up to 3 biological replicates were used for each of the 4 sample types.

<h4>Background</h4>Exposure of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to excessive cyclic stretch such as in hypertension causes a shift in their phenotype. The focal adhesion protein zyxin can transduce such biomechanical stimuli to the nucleus of both endothelial cells and VSMCs, albeit with different thresholds and kinetics. However, there is no distinct vascular phenotype in young zyxin-deficient mice, possibly due to functional redundancy among other gene products belonging to the zyxin famil ...[more]

Transcription profiling of human bladder smooth muscle cells subjected to cyclic stretch-relaxation

Project description:The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of cyclic stretch-relaxation ("stretch") on gene expression patterns in normal diploid human bladder smooth muscle cells. Cells plated on silicone elastomer bottomed 6-well culture dishes were grown to ~80% confluence, serum-depleted for 48h and subjected to cyclic stretch-relaxation at 20% elongation for 4h. Cells seeded in stretch plates but not subjected to stretch served as controls. Total RNA was extracted from both groups of cells, reverse-transcribed, biotin-labeled, fragmented and hybridized to HG-U133A. Four biological replicates were generated for each treatment group (non-stretched or stretched).

Cyclic mechanical stretch-induced gene expression

Project description:With gene expression profiling it was aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes associated with the regulation of the cytoskeleton to investigate the stretch-induced cell alignment mechanism. A whole genome microarray based analysis of the stretch-induced gene expression changes was done. Gene expression was measured at the beginning of the alignment process showing first reoriented cells after 5 h stretching and at the end after 24 h, where nearly all cells are aligned. Cyclic mechanical stretching of cells results in cellular alignment perpendicular to the stretch direction regulating cellular response. This stress response is assumed to be an adaptation mechanism to reduce extensive stretching but also acts as architectural restructuring changing performance and biomechanics of the tissue. Gene expression profiling of control vs. stretched primary human dermal fibroblasts after 5 h and 24 h demonstrated the regulation of differentially expressed genes associated with metabolism, differentiation and morphology. Primary human dermal fibroblasts from ten donors were cultured on Bioflex culture plates and stretched for 5h and 24 h or left untreated to avoid changes according to cell culturing. Each of the subject provided 4 samples (control/treated and 5hrs/24hrs) resulting in 40 samples total.

Tonic stretch of human lung cells

Project description:We profiled the transcriptomes of 4 human lung cell types that were subjected to control (non-stretch) and 30% tonic stretch conditions for 4 hours and 24 hours. Total RNA extracted from cells under control (time-matched) or 30% stretch conditions (4 hours or 24 hours) performed in technical replicate experiments. human lung alveolar A549 cells, human lung bronchoepithelial 16HBE14o- cells, human fetal lung fibroblasts CCL-153, human juvenile lung fibroblasts CCL-151

Induction of muscle-related gene expression in loose connective tissue fibroblasts in response to static tissue stretch

Project description:Current knowledge of mechanically-induced regulation of gene expression in fibroblast is mostly based on experiments using prolonged cyclical stretching of either cultured cells or load-bearing connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. In this study, we have examined the effect of static tissue stretch on fibroblasts within loose connective tissue using in vivo and ex vivo models. In an in vivo trunk side bending model, one side of the trunk of the mouse was stretched while the other side was shortened under anesthesia for 90 minutes. In the ex vivo method, whole subcutaneous tissue explants (including skin, subcutaneous muscle and subcutaneous tissue) from both sides of the trunk were incubated ex vivo either stretched or not stretched (shortened) for 24 hours. Tissue stretch or shortening was followed by immediate dissection of the loose connective tissue layer on both sides of the trunk, RNA extraction and gene expression analysis using Affymetrix mouse gene arrays. In both in vivo and ex vivo experiments, a large cluster of genes related to skeletal muscle function and carbohydrate metabolism was up-regulated in the stretched, compared with the shortened, connective tissue samples. However, there were few differentially expressed matrix-related genes, and in particular no change in collagen genes. Immunohistochemical staining for myosin after tissue stretch for 24 hours ex vivo showed increased myosin immunoreactivity in fibroblasts within the stretched compared with the shortened tissue samples. These results suggest that dynamic modulation of muscle-related gene expression is a normal physiological response of loose connective tissue fibroblasts to changes in tissue length.. Keywords: response to mechanical stretch Within animal stretched vs shortened (randomized): 7 animals in vivo and 4 ex vivo.

48-h stretched human periodontal ligament cells

Project description:Human periodontal ligament (HPDL) is continuously exposed to mechanical stress in vivo. In this study, in utilizing DNA chips, we analyzed the influences of mechanical stress on the gene expression profile of HPDL cells in vitro. HPDL cells were obtained from extracted first premolars of individuals undergoing tooth extraction for orthodontic treatment. Then, HPDL cells were applied to a stretch apparatus. They were constantly stretched and relaxed at 0.5 Hz for 48hr with 110ï¼ force elongation. After the application of the cyclic tension force, total RNA was extracted. Then, in utilizing the DNA chips (Human Oligo 30K DNA Chip containing almost all human genes in the genome). We analyzed the differences of gene expression between the stretched and the non-stretched control HPDL cells The DNA chip analysis identified 17 up-regulated genes that showed at least 2-fold difference in their relative intensities between the stretched and the control. This result included the genes for the glutamate receptor binding protein: HOMER1, for the growth factor receptor: CNTFR, for the ECM remodeling protein: MMP15, for the protein interacting with calcineurin A: DSCR1, for the cytoskeletal protein: LRRFIP1, for the glutamate receptor: GRIN3A and some novel genes. On the basis of these data, we suggest that mechanical stress, in other words in vivo occlusal force, may affect the functions of HPDL cells Gene expression profiles were constructed using Human Oligo DNA Chip 30K (Hitachi software engineering) in human periodontal ligament cells (The 48-h stretched and the 48-h non-stretched, control).

Stretch growth does not alter gene expression

Project description:Differentiated PC12 cells were magnetically labeled with magnetic nanoparticles (MNP). External magnetic fields were used to mechanically stretch the MNP-labeled neurites. We found that mechanical stretching of the neurites induces mass addition and neurite elongation. We performed RNAseq of MNP-labelled cells in stretched versus non-stretched conditions and we did not found gene expression dysregulation, confirming that the two conditions were identical and excluding cytotoxicity or involvement of nuclear mechanotransdution. Indeed, local mechanisms triggered by the stretching of the MNP-labelled neurite would be responsible for neurite elongation.
