Comparison of gene expression profile of human trabecular meshwork cells induced by triamcinolone with dexamethasone

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE. Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and dexamethasone (DEX) are corticosteroids commonly used for ocular inflammation but both can cause ocular hypertension. We investigated the differential gene expression profile of human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells in response to treatment by TA compared to that by DEX. METHODS. Total RNA was extracted from cultured human TM cells treated with TA or DEX and used for microarray gene expression analysis. The microarray experiments were repeated three times. Differentially expressed genes were identified by an empirical Bayes approach and confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS. 0.1 mg/ml TA treatment resulted in 15 genes up-regulated and 12 genes down-regulated while 1mg/ml TA treatment resulted in 36 genes up-regulated and 21 genes down-regulated. These genes were mainly associated with acute-phase response, cell adhesion, cell cycle and growth, growth factor, ion binding, metabolism, proteolysis and transcription factor. Two genes, MYOC and GAS1, were up-regulated and 3 genes, SENP1, ZNF343 and SOX30, were down-regulated by both TA and DEX treatment. Eight differentially expressed genes were located in known primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) loci, including MYOC, SOAT1, CYP27A1, SPOCK, SEMA6A, EGR1, GAS1 and ATP10A. CONCLUSIONS. Differential gene expression profiles of human TM cells treated by TA and DEX, and a dosage effect by TA, were revealed by microarray technology. TA and DEX treatment shared several differentially expressed genes, suggesting a common mechanism to cause ocular hypertension. Some differentially expressed genes located in the known POAG loci are potential candidates for glaucoma genes. A total of 9 samples were used for this study. There were 3 biological replicates for each of 3 treatments.

Project description:Macrophage activation during the innate immune response is tightly regulated to prevent tissue damage while activating the defense to cellular attack. Using a mouse model where Trim33 is specifically deleted in mature myeloid cells, we show that TRIM33 is essential for two aspects of the inflammatory response in vivo. Loss of TRIM33 attenuates the initiation of macrophage activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and TRIM33 is necessary to switch off transcription of inflammatory genes during late stages of LPS activation. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to deep sequencing, we provide a link between TRIM33 binding, RNA Polymerase II occupancy and H3K4me3 spreading on inflammatory genes in macrophages and reveal novel insights concerning the transcriptional regulation of Ifn-beta where TRIM33 exerts a repressive function via a distal regulatory region during late stages of LPS activation of macrophages. These findings pinpoint TRIM33 as a major regulator of the resolution of inflammation and indicate that transcriptional regulators can fine-tune H3K4me3 spreading. To study the role of TRIM33 in the transcriptional response induced by pathogen receptors, we analyzed whether lack of TRIM33 in macrophages affected the TLR-mediated regulation of proinflammatory and antimicrobial genes. To study this role, we bred TRIM33fl/fl mice with Lyz-Cre mice (obtained from The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA) where the Cre recombinase gene is under the regulatory sequences of the Lyz gene that is expressed only in mature myeloid cells. Bone marrow cells from 2 LyzCre/Trim33+/+ mice and 2 LyzCre/Trim33flox/flox mice were then differentiated in macrophages and treated during 0h, 4h, 12h and 24h with LPS. Total RNA was extracted from macrophages and analysed using cDNA microarrays. The set of gene expression consists of 16 samples of RNA of bone marrow derived macrophages activated with 100ng/ml of LPS during 0h, 4h, 12h, 24h, 8 samples from 2 LyzCre/Trim33+/+ mice and 8 samples from 2 LyzCre/Trim33flox/flox mice.
