The role of Clec4e (Mincle) in microglia response to transient ischemic injury
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This data set shows dramatic changes in gene expression in microglia isolated from C57Bl6/J mice subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, as compared to those subjected to sham surgery. Mice deficient in Mincle (Clec4e-/-) showed significantly improved injury outcomes 3 and 7 days after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. However, when comparing changes in gene expression in microglia 24 hours after blood reperfusion, there were no differences between wild-type and Clec4e-/- mice, indicating that Mincle does not participate in early microglial activation. Wild type and Mincle knock-out (Clec4e-/-) mice. After 1 h of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and 24 h of reperfusion, mice were perfused with PBS, their brains dissected, and 2 ipsilesional hemispheres (with cerebellum and brainstem removed) pooled for microglia isolation. For sham-operated animals, the whole forebrain was used and brains were not pooled. After myelin separation by Percoll gradient centrifugation, around 80,000 CD45intermediate, CD11b+ microglial cells were sorted from each sample. Sham samples n=3, tMCAO samples n=5.

Project description:We obtained the profiles of neuronal phosphoproteome after cerebral ischemia onset by isolating mice hippocampus. Hippocampus combined from either ten sham or ten focal cerebral ischemia 2 h mice were lysed, digested, labeled with different TMT tags, then pooled and analyzed by LC/LC-MS/MS. Five percent of the pool was used for whole proteome analysis, and the remaining 95% was subjected to phosphoproteome profiling. In total, we quantified 5,174 proteins and 9,062 phosphopeptides. Interesting, 21 proteins were upregulated and 7 proteins were downregulated in hippocampus lysates of cerebral ischemia 2 h relative to sham base on fold change. S100a9, Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (Ahsg), Fibrinogen beta chain (Fga) and Complement Component C3(c3) are the top significantly changed, which were highly consistent with previous reports in cerebral ischemia injury. Using wolfpsort software to analysis the Subcellular Location, 57% of detected proteins were location to extracellular, 15% were cytoplasmic protein, another 11% were transport to nucleus, and the others were location to plasma membranes (10%), mitochondria (4%) and endoplasmic reticulum (3%). Moreover,184 phosphorylation sites of 135 proteins were upregulated and 689 phosphorylation sites of 420 proteins were downregulated in hippocampus during cerebral ischemia 2 h compare with sham operation. Employing wolfpsort software analysis the subcellular location, 50% of phosphorylated proteins were location to nucleus, 26% were cytoplasmic protein, another 16% were transport to plasma membranes, and the others were location to mitochondria (4%), extracellular (3%) and cytoskeleton (1%). Motif analysis showed that 85% were belongs to serine-type phosphorylation, about 14 were threonine-type phosphorylation and 1% were tyrosine-type phosphorylation.
Project description:We obtained the profiles of neuronal phosphoproteome after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion by isolating mice hippocampus. Hippocampus combined from either nine sham or nine focal cerebral ischemia 1.5 h and reperfusion 24 h (IR) mice were lysed, digested, labeled with different TMT tags, then pooled and analyzed by LC/LC-MS/MS. In total, we quantified 7,865 phosphopeptides,179 phosphorylation sites of 129 proteins were upregulated and 843 phosphorylation sites of 494 proteins were downregulated in hippocampus during cerebral ischemia 2 h compare with sham operation.

In total, we quantified 5,059 proteins. We identified 142 differentially expressed proteins (t-test, p-value<0.05) after IR compared to sham groups. The results showed that 92 proteins were upregulated, and 50 proteins were downregulated after IR compared to sham groups. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of differentially expressed proteins between sham and IR groups. The results showed that the biological process of most of upregulated genes linked with immune inflammatory related responses were increased. And KEGG pathway analysis for upregulated genes showed that multiple immune inflammatory response pathways also increased significantly, such as TNF-signaling, NF-κB signaling and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, as well as NOD-like receptor signaling, and toll-like receptor signaling.
Project description:Atherosclerosis is causally related to disturbed flow through low and oscillatory shear stress. In order to study the miR expression profile in atherosclerotic plaques induced by disturbed flow, partial ligation of the carotid artery was performed. This procedure results acutely in severly reduced blood flow and in stenotic lesion formation within 6 weeks in apoe-/- mice on a high fat diet. We compared the miR expression profile in partially ligated left carotid arteries with the untreated right carotid artery to identify miRs which are involved in plaque formation through flow disturbances. The left carotid arteries of 6 female apoe-/- mice (6-8 weeks) were partially ligated (i.e. the external and internal carotid artery as well as the occipital artery were occluded; blood flow out of the common carotid artery occurs mainly through the superior thyroid artery). Following partial ligation the animals were fed a high fat diet for 6 weeks. Total RNA was isolated from partially ligated left carotid arteries and untreated right carotid arteries (control). MiRs expression profile of the partially ligated carotid arteries were compared with the control group. Biological replicates: 6 per group. One replicate per array.
Project description:Ischemic stroke triggers severe focal hypoperfusion accompanied with deprivation of oxygen and glucose to the cerebral tissue, together with loss of ATP, depolorization of neurons, elevated extracellular potassium concentration, and subsequently leads to excitotoxicity as well as increased oxidative stress promoting microvascular injury, blood-brain-barrier deregulation, post-ischemic inflammation and eventually the consequential neurological deficit. Although reperfusion of ischemic brain tissue is critical for restoring normal function, it can paradoxically result in secondary damage, called ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Microarray analysis was performed on the right striatum and cortex (corresponded to infarct area) of post-I/R injured brain tissues of wild-type (WT-MCAO) using Illumina mouse Ref8 V2 genechips. Suture-induced middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced for 2h followed by reperfusion, with tissue extraction taking place 2h, 8h and 24h post-reperfusion (n=4 respectively). Sham controls were included in this study too (n=4 respectively).
Project description:Experimental atherosclerosis was established by feeding Apoe KO mice a Western, high-fat diet for 12 weeks and experimental cerebral ischemia was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion. RNA-seq was perfomed to investigate the potential gene regulation of AS (LAA)-exo-dependent changes of microglia.
Project description:This program addresses the gene signature associated with brain (cortex) in the tMCAO rat model for stroke. The tMCAO stroke model profiling data was analyzed by identifying genes that were up- and down-regulated at selected p value and fold change in brain cortex of the Sprague Dawley rats following middle cerebral artery occlusion compared to the sham-operated controls.
