Project description: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.

Project description:This study tested the hypothesis that miRNA expression profiles change in the muscular type rat saphenous artery during early postnatal development. To explore this, we performed miRNA microarray analysis on muscular type saphenous arteries of young (10-12 days) and adult (2-3 months) rats. For one sample four saphenous arteries from 2 young animals (n = 4 samples per group) or two saphenous arteries from one adult animal (n = 4 samples per group) were used to profile miRNA (n = 8; GeneChip® miRNA 3.0) expression changes during the muscular type rat saphenous artery during early postnatal development. In this study, 10-12 days old (“young”) and 2 - 3 months old (“adult”) male Wistar rats were used.

Project description:N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD), but not dopamine dose dependently induces the UPR. This was also found for other synthetic N-Acyl dopamine derivates (NADD). Induction of the UPR was dependent on the redox activity of NADD and was not caused by selective activation of a particular UPR sensor. UPR induction did not result in cell apoptosis, yet NOD strongly impaired cell proliferation by attenuation of cells in the S-G2/M phase. Long-term treatment of HUVEC with low NOD concentration showed decreased intracellular ATP concentration paralleled with activation of AMPK. These cells were significantly more resistant to cold inflicted injury. N-octanoyl dopamine (NOD) and other synthetic N-Acyl dopamine derivates (NADD), but not dopamine dose dependently induces the UPR. Long-term treatment of HUVEC with low NOD concentration showed decreased intracellular ATP concentration paralleled with activation of AMPK. Genome wide gene expression profiling, confirmatory qPCR and reporter assays were employed on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to validate induction of UPR target genes and UPR sensor activation by NOD

Project description:Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was suggested to mediate ischemic myocardial injury and adverse cardiac remodeling. However, the specific functions of the CaMKII isoforms and splice variants in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury have not been investigated yet. Thus, we studied the roles of the CaMKII isoforms and splice variants in I/R by the use of various CaMKII mutant mice. CaMKIIδC was up-regulated already one day after I/R injury but surprisingly, acute I/R injury was neither affected in CaMKIIδ-deficient mice, CaMKIIδ-deficient mice in which the splice variants CaMKIIδB and C were re-expressed nor in conditional CaMKIIδ/γ double-knockout mice (DKO). In contrast, 5 weeks after I/R, DKO mice were protected against extensive scar formation and cardiac dysfunction. Leukocyte infiltration was not altered one day but five days after I/R, explaining the late effects of CaMKII deletion on post-I/R remodeling. Other than reported before, we demonstrate that CaMKII is not critically involved in the immediate mechanisms that regulate acute I/R injury but in the process of post-infarct remodeling. We analysed 6 groups in total: 3 groups from wild-type control animals and 3 groups from CaMKII delta/gamma double-KO mice. Sham operated animals served as controls in both wild-type and KO animal groups. 2 different time points in ischia/reperfusion operated animals were investigated: 1 day and 5 days post-surgery.

Project description:N-terminal protein acetylation is one of the most common protein modifications in eucaryotes and is catalyzed co-translationally by N-terminal aceytltransferases (Nats). Regarding the number of predictaed substrates, NatA is the main Nat complex in human and yeast and is composed of the catalytic subunit NAA10 and the auxilliary subunit NAA15. The down-regulation of NAA10 and NAA15 results in Arabidopsis in drought resistant plants. This study focus on the identification of altered gene expression leading to the drought resistant phenotype. Microarray analysis was used to identify misregulated genes in the NatA depleted mutants responsible for the drought resistant phenotype Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown on soil for 6 weeks under short-day conditions (8h light / 16h dark cycles) with normal watering and subsequently challenged with drought for 10 days. After 10 days of drought Arabidopsis leaf material was harvested and used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Four biological replicates from each genotype and condition were analyzed.

Project description:Deprivation of mineral nutrients causes significant retardation of plant growth. This slow growth is assumed to be associated with both nutrient specific transcriptional responses and additionally with common transcription patterns. In this study we adjusted the external supply of iron, potassium and sulfur to cause a similar retardation of growth. Global transcriptome analyses were performed to investigate whether the growth limitation by the different nutrient deficiencies triggered specific or similar transcriptional responses. The global transcriptome responded specifically to sulfur, iron or potassium deprivation. Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown hydroponically under short-day conditions (8h light / 16h dark cycles) under full nutrient supply or under the limitation of sulfur, iron or potassium. Arabidopsis root material was harvested when the plants reached the age of 7 weeks (from sowing) and used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Four biological replicates from each condition were analyzed.

Project description:We here show that loss of imprinting (LOI) of IGF2 is a frequent and early event in the development of colon cancer and occurs throughout the large intestine. LOI leads to AKT1-dependent activation and suppression of a defined set of genes, many of which are cell cycle related. Our results further showed that IGF2 induces non-canonical wnt signaling. We hypothesize that IGF2 and Wnt5a cooperate in cancer progression. LOI is an attractive target for tumor prevention or targeted therapy. This is a comparison of colon cancer samples with (LOI) and without (ROI) loss of imprining of IGF2. All cases were from the sigmoid colon and were in UICC tumor stage pT2 N0 M0.

Project description:Black six animals received either an Adeno associated virus leading to overexpression of Luciferase or Histone deacetyase 4 aminoacids 1-201. After 3 weeks of expression, animals got transaortic banding (TAC) to induce pathological cardiac remodeling. We compared both groups to Back six animals with sham surgery and overexpression of Luziferase. 3 male animals per group (5 replicates) at an age of 8 weeks were treated with an adenoassociated virus (AAV) containing a coding sequence for Luziferase or Histone Deacetylase 4 (aminoacids 1-201) und der the control of the MLC-promoter. Both groups were then exposed to transaortic constriction. As a control served AAV treated animals with overepression of luziferase and sham.
