Immune cell subsets and their gene expression profiles from human PBMC isolated by Vacutainer Cell Preparation Tube and standard density gradient

ABSTRACT: High quality genetic material is an essential pre-requisite when analyzing gene expression using microarray technology. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are frequently used for genomic analyses, but several factors can affect the integrity of nucleic acids prior to their extraction, including the methods of PBMC collection and isolation. In this study, we compared the Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation and BD Vacutainer cell preparation tube (CPT) protocols to determine if either method offered a distinct advantage in preparation of PBMC-derived immune cell subsets for their use in gene expression analysis. We compared gene expression in PBMC and individual immune cell types from Ficoll and CPT isolation protocols using Affymetrix microarrays. PBMC from 3 healthy donors were isolated using Ficoll-Paque gradient or BD Vacutainer CPT methods. Subsequently, immune cell subsets were separated by positive selection from PBMC obtained by both methods. RNA was extracted from total PBMC isolated by both protocols and from their subsets, followed by analysis of gene expression using Affymetrix microarrays. Gene expression was compared between Ficoll and CPT samples for a given cell type.

<h4>Background</h4>High quality genetic material is an essential pre-requisite when analyzing gene expression using microarray technology. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are frequently used for genomic analyses, but several factors can affect the integrity of nucleic acids prior to their extraction, including the methods of PBMC collection and isolation. Due to the lack of the relevant data published, we compared the Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation and BD Vacutainer cell ...[more]

Project description:White blood cells (WBCs) express tens of thousands of genes. Their expression levels are modified by genetic and external factors. In further study we found that gene expression profiles of these cellls can serve as surrogate markers for monitoring exercise and training load.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of acute exercise on gene expression profiles (GEPs) of PBMCs and T-lymphocytes in order to re-detect the patterns in subpopulations. The use of WBC subpopulations is necessary because of the well known subpopulation shifts that occur during physical activities. Three male probands performed an exhaustive treadmill test (ET) at 80% of their VO2max. PBMCs were isolated using BD Vacutainer CPT tubes containig Ficoll. T-lymphocytes were isolated from the PBMCs via rosetting technology. Gene expression profiles were measured using the Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® technology. After scaling, normalisation, and filtering groupwise and pairwise comparisons of gene expression intensities were performed. We found that sorting increases the detection sensitivity and enables the researcher to observe regulation that is hidden in heterogenous populations. We therefore suggest not to work on mixed nbut instead on sorted cells when performing gene expression analyses. Experiment Overall Design: Three healthy male probands executed an exhaustive treadmill test (80% VO2max) until individual exhaustion. Blood samples (16ml) were drawn before and one hour past the tests. PBMCs were isolated using the Ficoll density centrifugation methode. T-lymphocytes were isolated by adding rosetting anibodies zo the cells before centrifugation. Cells were lysed using Trizol and worked up with Qiagen RNeasy Micro columns. RNA was processed and hybridised on U133A 2.0 Affymetrix GeneChips. Samples were grouped and gene expression changes were detected via multiple algorithms included in GeneSpring 7.2 (Agilent). Experiment Overall Design: The four groups contained three samples related to the cell type "PBMC" or "T-cell" and "before exercise" or "1hour past exercise". TTest, GOs and KEGG classification, principal component analysis and hierarchical clstering were used to scan for gene expression profiles induced through the different exercise conditions.
