Project description:Sulfur mustard (HD) is a vesicating agent that targets the eyes, skin, and lungs, producing skin burns, conjunctivitis, and compromised respiratory function. Underlying mechanisms of this damage are a critical area of research for the development of medical countermeasures. This study utilized mRNA analysis to evaluate molecular effects of HD on lung tissue from anesthetized swine inhalationally exposed to HD

Project description:Sulfur mustard (HD) is a potent alkylating agent that induces cutaneous injury. The molecular mechanisms of cutaneous injury are not completely understood, and the molecular pathways involved in post-exposure wound healing are not well characterized. To elucidate these molecular pathways for the purpose of identifying potential therapeutic targets, we used oligonucleotide microarrays to identify gene expression profile changes induced by HD in porcine skin, an established animal model of HD injury and wound healing. Female Yorkshire crossbred pigs were exposed to neat HD to generate a superficial dermal (second degree) injury. Skin punch biopsies were collected at 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 d, 14 d or 21 d post-exposure. Biopsies were scored for histopathology, and RNA extracted from biopsies was used for microarray analysis. Gene expression profiles were analyzed for significant temporal response to HD by analysis of variance (false discovery corrected p<0.05). Gene expression profiles were also correlated (Pearson linear correlation |r|>0.7, false discovery corrected p<0.05) to histopathology scores to identify molecular pathways significantly correlated with specific clinical endpoints of injury and repair. Several pathways linked to aspects of inflammatory response and cell cycle checkpoint regulation were altered by HD exposure through 72 h. Several of these inflammatory pathways were highly correlated with clinical endpoints assessed through 72 h, including epidermal necrosis and vesicle formation. Pathways linked to inflammation were also highly correlated with 7-21 d total histopathology scores, suggesting that inflammation is continual through the course of injury and healing. Specific therapeutic targets were identified within these inflammatory pathways, and potential therapeutics were also identified for future drug screening efforts.

Project description:Effect of type 1 diabetes (induced by streptozotocin 60 mg/kg) on lung gene expression. Wistar rats, male. At age 8 weeks control rats got IP buffer, diabetic rats got streptozotocin. At age 12 weeks animals were anesthetized and lungs removed. RNA was extracted with Trizol, and gene expression array analysis was performed using Affymetrix RAE 230A microarrays according to the directions from the manufacturer. Arrays were scanned using a Hewlett Packard Gene Array scanner, and analyzed with Affymetrix MAS 5.0 software. Expression levels reported are the output from the MAS software. Control rats (n=5) vs diabetic rats (n=7) Each sample is from a different animal (thus these are biological replicates). Samples were NOT pooled. Thus each sample corresponds to one animal.

Project description:Background: The 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus emerged in swine and quickly became a major global health threat. In mouse, non-human primate, and swine infection models, the pH1N1 virus efficiently replicates in the lung and induces pro-inflammatory host responses; however, whether similar or different cellular pathways were impacted by pH1N1 virus across independent infection models remains to be further defined. To address this, we have performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of acute host responses to a single pH1N1 influenza virus, A/California/04/2009 (CA04), in the lung of mice, macaques and swine. Results: Despite similarities in the clinical course, we observed differences in inflammatory molecules elicited, and the kinetics of their gene expression changes across all three species. The retinoid X receptor (RXR) signaling pathway controlling pro-inflammatory and metabolic processes was differentially regulated during infection in each species, though the heterodimeric RXR partner, pathway associated signaling molecules, and gene expression patterns differed in each species. Conclusions: By comparing transcriptional changes in the context of clinical and virological measures, we identified differences in the host transcriptional response to pH1N1 virus across independent models of acute infection. Antiviral resistance and the emergence of new influenza viruses have placed more focus on developing drugs that target the immune system. Underlying overt clinical disease are molecular events that suggest therapeutic targets identified in one host may not be appropriate in another. The goal of this experiment was to use global gene expression profiling to understand mouse lung cellular responses to pandemic H1N1 influenza A/Californica/04/2009 virus infection. Six-to-eight-week-old female BALB/c mice were anesthetized and inoculated with either 50 μl of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Mock) or with 10^6 pfu of pandemic H1N1 influenza A/California/04/2009 virus in a 50 μl volume, and whole lungs were collected at days 1, 3 and 5 post-inoculation. Lung samples from 9 animals for the infection group were used for array analysis, three animals per time point. Lung samples from 8 animals for the mock group were used for array analysis, three animals for the day 1 and 3 time points and 2 animals for the day 5 time point.

Project description:A bleomycin induced-pulmonary fibrosis mouse model was established. C57BL/6J male mice were divided into 4 groups: the control group, model group, moxibustion group, and YQHX group. Mice were anesthetized firstly. Then, 2.5 mg/kg of bleomycin was instilled through the airways into the lungs of the model, moxibustion and YQHX groups. Control group mice received the same volume of saline. Seven days later, YQHX group mice were treated with YQHX (50 mg/kg) daily by gavage for 2 weeks. The control and model group received the same volume of saline. Moxibustion group received moxibustion treatment for 2 weeks. At last, all mice were euthanized and their lungs were removed for proteomic test.

Project description:Sulfur mustard (SM) is a potent alkylating agent. We are developing medical countermeasures to reduce the injury caused by SM exposure. Screening in the mouse ear vesicant model has identified three effective compounds: dimercaprol (British anti-lewisite), indomethacin, and octyl homovanillamide (OHV). To identify gene expression changes that correlate with compound efficacy we used oligonucleotide microarrays to compare gene expression profiles in vehicle-exposed skin, SM-exposed skin, and skin pretreated with each compound before SM exposure. Mice were topically exposed on the inner surface of the right ear to SM alone or pretreated for 15 min with one of the compounds and then exposed to SM. Left ears were vehicle-exposed. Ear tissue was harvested 24 hr later for ear weight determination (an endpoint indicating compound efficacy). The exposure groups were: methylene chloride (sulfur mustard vehicle); ethanol (drug vehicle); 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 6.25 mg dimercaprol 15 min before 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 1.34 mg indomethacin 15 min before 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 0.6 mg octylhomovanillamide 15 min before 0.08 mg sulfur mustard; 6.25 mg dimercaprol alone; 1.34 mg indomethacin alone; 0.6 mg octylhomovanillamide alone. RNA was extracted from the tissues and used to generate oligonucleotide microarray probes. Principal component analysis of the gene expression data revealed partitioning of the samples based on drug treatment and SM exposure. Vehicle-exposed mouse ears clustered away from the other treatment groups. SM-exposed mouse ears pretreated with dimercaprol or OHV clustered more closely with vehicle-exposed ears, while SM-exposed mouse ears pretreated with indomethacin clustered more closely with SM-exposed ears. This clustering of the samples is supported by the ear weight data, in which the indomethacin group has ear weights closer to the SM-exposed group, whereas the dimercaprol and OHV groups have ear weights closer to the vehicle-exposed group. Correlation coefficients were calculated for each gene based on the correlation between gene expression level and ear weight. These data provide the basis for understanding what gene expression changes are important in the development of effective SM medical countermeasures. Experiment Overall Design: Exposure of mouse ears to sulfur mustard alone, sulfur mustard preceded by drug treatment, or vehicle compounds. Naive controls were also included. Biological replicates of at least n=3 were examined for each exposure condition.

Project description:Normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and HaCaTs have been widely used as cell culture models to study the effects of cutaneous sulfur mustard (HD) exposure. While these cell lines are similar, one key difference is that NHEKs are primary cells, whereas HaCaT cells are a transformed line with a mutation in the p53 gene. However, the impact of this mutation on the response of HaCaT cells to HD is unclear. Thus, gene expression profiling was performed to compare the transcriptional responses of NHEKs and HaCaTs after HD exposure. Cells were exposed to 0, 25, and 200 µM HD, harvested at 1 h and 8 h post-exposure, and processed for microarray analysis. Principal component analysis of the microarray data suggested profile differences based on cell type, but both cell types respond similarly to HD with regard to dose and time. To further analyze the expression profiles at various doses, the dataset was filtered by dose, and an analysis of variance was performed using cell type as the factor; the pathways most significantly different between these cell types were identified. At all three doses, the p53 and N-glycan degradation pathways were significantly different between NHEKs and HaCaTs. Interestingly, p53 responsive genes showed differences and similarities across cell types, which may provide insight into the role of p53 in HD toxicity. The inflammatory pathways expected to respond to HD exposure were not significantly different between cell types, suggesting that both NHEKs and HaCaTs are appropriate models to study the inflammatory effects of HD.

Project description:Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a very common clinical entity and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the critical care setting. Historically, ARDS has been associated with mortality ranging from 40% to 60% . In the US alone,200,000 new cases of ARDS occur every year. ARDS can be associated with different clinical disorders affecting the lungs. A novel ex-vivo swine model developed by our group permits measurements of lung pathophysiology and simultaneous collection of lung and liver tissue for histologic and molecular comparisons during the early phase of the response to endotoxemia. In this preparation, endotoxemia causes a liver-dependent inflammatory response and severe lung injury and dysfunction. We chose swine, as an experimental animal because, like humans, they are especially sensitive to endotoxin and the pathophysiology of the response appears to be similar to that in humans. Gene expression was evaluated in swine liver before and after endotoxin treatment.
