Project description:To assess neuronal expression divergence between mice and rats, we used the Affymetrix array platform to assay the transcriptomes of micro-dissected individual soma and pool of dendrites of hippocampal neurons in dispersed primary cell cultures from rat and mouse. Using microdissected soma and dendrites from primary cultures of hippocampal neurons of two mouse strains (C57BL/6 and Balb/c) and one rat strain (Sprague-Dawley), we investigate via microarrays, subcellular localization of mRNAs in neurons

Project description:To assess in order to assess potential disparities in gene expression due to developmental differences we performed a comparison between hippocampus and heart tissues from rat and mouse pup (one week old) and adult (10 week old) animals. Using heart and hippocampal tissue from mouse (C57BL/6) and rat (Sprague Dawley) we investigate via microarrays, gene expression divergence at the tissue level between a Brain and a Non-brain tissue. We also investigated any developement difference in gene expression between pups and adult animals. For the pups samples we used 3 biological replicates and for the adult samples we used 2 biological replicates with 2 technical replicates for each.

Project description:Left heart disease (LHD) frequently causes lung vascular remodelling and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, pharmacological treatment for PH in LHD is lacking and its pathophysiological basis remains obscure. We aimed to identify candidate mechanisms of PH in LHD and to test their relevance and therapeutic potential. In rats, LHD was induced by supracoronary aortic banding. Whole genome microarray analyses were performed, candidate genes were confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blots and functional relevance was tested in vivo by genetic and pharmacological strategies. In lungs of LHD rats, mast cell activation was the most prominently upregulated gene ontology cluster. Mast cell gene upregulation was confirmed at RNA and protein levels and remodelled vessels showed perivascular mast cell accumulations. In LHD rats treated with the mast cell stabiliser ketotifen, or in mast cell deficient Ws/Ws rats, PH and vascular remodelling were largely attenuated. Both strategies also reduced PH and vascular remodelling in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, suggesting that the role of mast cells extends to noncardiogenic PH. In PH of different aetiologies, mast cells accumulate around pulmonary blood vessels and contribute to vascular remodelling and PH. Mast cells and mast cell-derived mediators may present promising targets for the treatment of PH. Whole rat genome microarray analyses were performed in lung homogenates of three rats with established PH following supracoronary aortic banding and in three sham-operated controls. Out of a total of 28,000 analysed genes, differential expression defined as 2-fold change with p<0.05 was evident for 120 genes. Of these, 76 were upregulated and 44 downregulated in aortic banding compared with control lungs gene. Enrichment analysis revealed regulation of mast cell specific genes - 13 out of 20 genes were significantly upregulated in aortic banding compared with control lungs. To test for a putative functional role of mast cells in lung vascular remodelling and PH in LHD, we applied a pharmacological approach by treatment of aortic banding rats with the mast cell stabiliser ketotifen. Microarray analysis then compared rats that were treated with untreated. In brief, congestive heart failure (CHF) was induced in juvenile rats by supracoronary aortic banding and rats were analyzed 9 weeks thereafter when they had established left heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and secondary pulmonary hypertension. Three heart failure rats were untreated, and 3 received the mast cell stabilizer ketotifen (1 mg/kg-1 bodyweight/day-1) with the drinking water. Sham rats underwent the same surgical procedure but without placement of a clip on the supracoronary aorta. Microarray analyses: Lungs from banded and control rats were excised and total RNA was extracted (Stratagene Absolutely RNA Miniprep Kit; Stratagene, La Jolla, USA). Three µg total RNA from three control and three banded rats each were processed according to the One-Cycle Target Labeling protocol (GeneChip Expression Analysis, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA). Before and after amplifications, the total RNA/complementary RNA concentrations were checked with NanoDrop ND-1000 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, USA) and quality was controlled (Experion electrophoresis station, BioRad; Hercules, USA). Samples were hybridized to GeneChip® Rat Genome 230 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix; Santa Clara, USA) containing 31,000 probe sets covering 28,000 rat genes.

Project description:Mid-shaft fracture stimulates bone lengthening by increasing linear growth at the growthplate. This project studied changes in mRNA in the proximal growthplate after a mid-shaft fracture in a rat model. Experiment Overall Design: Study of rat proximal femoral growthplate after mid-shaft fracture in 4 week old Sprague-Dawley female rats. RNA from two rats were pooled for each sample. Proximal femoral growthplate was studied from the fractured femora and the intact contralateral femora.

Project description:Using microdissected dendrites from primary cultures of hippocampal neurons of two mouse strains (C57BL/6 and Balb/c) and one rat strain (Sprague-Dawley), we investigate via microarrays, subcellular localization of mRNAs in dendrites of neurons to assay the evolutionary differences in subcellular dendritic transcripts localization. To assess neuronal dendrite expression divergence between mice and rats, we used the Affymetrix array platform to assay the transcriptomes of micro-dissected individual dendrites of hippocampal neurons in dispersed primary cell cultures from Sprague-Dawley rat (9 biological replicates), C57BL/6 mouse (14 biological replicates), and Balb/c mouse (5 biological replicates)

Project description:Pharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated a crucial role of the caridac natriuretic peptides (NP) hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Considerable effort has been focused on the elucidation of the mechanistic underlying increased atrial ANF and BNP expression and secretion. These investigations are important because under chronic congestive heart failure, the secretion of NPs although increased and beneficial, is relatively insufficient as demonstrated by the fact that patients benefit form the unloading of the heart induced by therapeutic administration of either ANF or BNP. To identify genes involved in the transcriptional response of the endocrine heart under normal and stimulated states, we conducted differential gene expression studies of the rat atria under normal or chronic volume overload, induced by aorto-caval shunt. The left and right atrial appendages were obtained from 28 day sham and shunt operated male Sprague Dawley rats. Total RNA was obtained from three pools (of two tissues) of right atria and left atria under sham and shunt conditions. Three biological replicates for each muscle type and condition were generated.

Project description:Pharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated a crucial role of the cardiac natriuretic peptides (NP) hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. In addition, hypertension and chronic congestive heart failure are clinical entities that may be regarded as states of relative NP deficiency. Hence the study of the function of the endocrine heart is highly relevant. To identify genes that are related to the endocrine function of the heart we have conducted differential gene expression studies of the rat atria and ventricles using oligonucleotide arrays. Experiment Overall Design: The atrial appendages and the ventricular free walls were obtained from thirteen normal male Sprague Dawley rats. The total RNA was obtained from four pools of atrial and four pools of ventricular tissues. Four biological replicates for each muscle type were generated, i.e. 4 atrial replicates and 4 ventricular replicates.
