Angiogenesis study of Gd@C82(OH)22 nanoparticle

ABSTRACT: we report a novel nanomedicine (Gd@C82(OH)22 ) effectively inhibit human breast tumor growth by antiangiogenesis in vivo. To further identify which angiogenic factor(s) were affected on mRNA level, the "RT² Profiler™ PCR Array Mouse Angiogenesis (APMM-024, SuperArray Bioscience Corporation)" was used. Keywords: nanomedicine, Gd@C82(OH)22, angiogenesis, MCF-7, breast cancer In the experimental group, the tumor bearing mice were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) [Gd@C82(OH)22]n saline solution once a day at the dose of 2.5mM/kg, after the tumor tissue implantation into the animal for 7 days, continuing until the mice were sacrificed. The 0.9% saline soultion was used as control. At the end of the experiment, parts of the tumor tissue was collected, and further be analyzed by PCR-array.

Project description:Osteoporosis is the consequence of altered bone metabolism resulting in the systemic reduction of bone strength and increased risk of fragility fractures. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression on a post-transcriptional level are known to take part in the control of bone formation and bone resorption. Recently, targeted secretion of miRNAs from cells originating from various tissues has been described, which allows for their minimal-invasive detection in serum/plasma and use as biomarkers for presence and progression of pathological conditions. One pilot study has reported circulating miRNAs in serum and tissue of fracture patients. However, further studies are required to explore whether a dysbalance in bone homeostasis of fracture patients can reliably be reflected by specific circulating miRNAs, and whether these miRNAs might serve as drugable targets. Here, we report results from a comprehensive multiplex study of 175 miRNAs in serum samples obtained from 7 patients with osteoporotic fractures at the femoral neck, and 7 age-matched controls. Following elaborate quality control statistical analysis of this exploratory dataset identified 9 microRNAs with altered serum levels in response to fracture (adjusted p-value < 0.1). Of these, hsa-miR-10a/b gave excellent discrimination of both groups (AUC = 1.0), and clustering of samples based on the top10 miRNAs confirmed the high discriminatory power of circulating microRNAs for osteoporotic fractures. In the next step 3 miRNAs with unknown roles in osteogenic differentiation and 4 miRNA from a previous study were tested for their effects on osteogenic differentiation. Of these, 3 miRNAs showed robust effects on osteogenic differentiation. Overall, these data provide important insights into changes in serum miRNA in post-traumatic patients. Future studies will show, whether this knowledge can be used to improve current diagnostic methodologies to predict fracture risk and design novel treatment strategies for osteoporosis patients. Two groups with n=7 per group; one groups represents cases with osteoporotic fractures, the control group is age-matched without fractures

Project description:Rifampicin and efavirenz are commonly used medicines to treat tuberculosis (rifampicin) and HIV/AIDS (efavirenz). Rifampicin and efavirenz are metabolized in the liver and exposure to these medicines can alter microRNA expression in hepatocytes. Changes in microRNA expression may affect metabolism of these medicines and potentially influence how patient's respond to therapy. It is important to understand changes in microRNA expression in a hepatic cell-based model. Differentiated HepaRG cells were used because mRNA expression and induction of drug metabolizing enzymes are comparable to that of primary human hepatocytes yet differentiated HepaRG cells have an extended lifespan. Differentiated HepaRG cells were obtained from Merck Millipore and cultured as an adherent cell line at a density of 315000 cells/well using collagen I coated 24-well plates. Clinically relevant concentrations of rifampicin and efavirenz were selected as 6.4uM efavirenz (dissolved in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide) and 24.4uM rifampicin (dissolved in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide), while 0.02% dimethyl sulfoxide was used as control to minimize toxicity. HepaRG serum-free induction medium was used to dilute efavirenz and rifampicin. On day 7 since thawing differentiated HepaRG cells, these cells were treated with 6.4uM efavirenz or 24.4uM rifampicin or 0.02% dimethyl sulfoxide for a period of 24 hours. Three biological replicates were available for each treatment condition. Total RNA was isolated from the cells, after treatment, using the Quick-RNATM MiniPrep Kit from Zymo Research Corporation. MicroRNA expression profiling was performed using the TaqMan® OpenArray® Human MicroRNA Panel and QuantStudioTM 12K Flex system. The R/Bioconductor package “Automated Analysis of High-Throughput qPCR Data” were used for data analyses. CT values were used for differential expression analysis and microRNAs with a CT value > 35 was considered undetected. MicroRNAs undetected in any of the replicate samples or microRNAs with AmpScore < 1.24 or CqConf < 0.8 were excluded. Quantile normalization was followed by limma analyses to identify differentially expressed microRNAs for efavirenz versus dimethyl sulfoxide and rifampicin versus dimethyl sulfoxide.
