Transcription profiling of in rat adrenal medulla after exposure to single and repeated immobilization stress
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Microarray profiling single and repeated immobilization stress responses in gene expression in rat adrenal medulla Experiment Overall Design: Immobilization stress (IMO) was performed with 2-hour once and 2-hour daily for 6 days repeated. Control groups were not exposed to stress (absolute controls). Following the last IMO, rats were euthanized by decapitation and both adrenal medulla tissues were dissected from the animal. Total RNA were isolated and the array experiments were done by Affymetrix. Data analysis will be performed by GeneTraffic program.

Project description:Here we present molecular mechanisms of Korean red ginseng (KRG) on immobilization stresses Keywords: stress response Mice were divided into three groups (3 mice / group): control, stress + no treat, and stress + Korean Red Ginseng (KRG, 100 mg). Stress + KRG group were given KRG 100 mg orally for 7 days and then exposed to immobilization stress for 45 min. stress + no treat group were administrated with phosphate buffer saline (d-PBS, pH 7.4) together with IMO stress for 45 min.
Project description:Stress leads to important adaptive physiological responses including release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla. Repeated or prolonged stress increases the propensity for many disorders including cardiovascular disease and neuropsychiatric disorders. The susceptibility to stress is determined by a number of factors including prior experience with stress. It has been found that while there is adaptation to prolonged cold stress; it leads to sensitization when cold stressed animals are exposed to a different (novel) stressor. Our study aims to determine the mechanism of this adaptation and sensitization.,We will determine the gene expression patterns in rat adrenal medulla in response to several times of cold stress. We will also determine the changes in gene expression with single immobilization stress in adrenal medulla of rat with and without preexposure to cold stress to investigate the mechanism of sensitization in cold adapted animals. ,We hypothesize that during the course of cold stress there are alterations in gene expression of several neurotransmitter related genes and transcription factors. In cold adapted animals, there is increased susceptibility to stress due to sustained changes in expression of several transcription factors, such as FRA-2 which lead to an exaggerated response to the novel stressor. ,Rats were exposed to cold stress (4oC) for 1, 7 or 28 days. A parallel group was kept at room temperature (unstressed). Unstressed or rats pre-exposed to 28 days cold were immobilized for 2 hrs and killed by decapitation. The adrenal medullae, separately from right and left side, have been dissected and individually frozen at -70oC. Our recent immunoblots with the tissue from one side revealed that there is increase in tyrosine hydroxylase and c-fos with the short term cold stress and in dopamine beta hydroxylase and Fra-2 even with the prolonged cold stress. The response of several transcription factors to immobilization stress was enhanced in the cold adapted animals. RNA will be prepared with RNAqueous-Micro Isolation kit from Ambion (alternatively we can ship the tissues). We will pool samples from 4 rats per treatment to control for variability.

Project description:Stress is a powerful modulator of neuroendocrine, behavioral and immunological functions. After 4.5 days of repeated combined acoustic and restraint stress as a murine model of chronic psychological stress severe metabolic dysregulations became detectable in female BALB/c mice. Stress-induced alterations of metabolic processes that were found in a hepatic mRNA expression profiling were verified by in vivo analyses. Repeatedly stressed mice developed a hypermetabolic syndrome with severe loss of lean body mass, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, increased amino acid turn-over, and acidosis. This was associated with hypercortisolism, hyperleptinemia, insulin resistance, and hypothyroidism. In contrast, after a single acute stress exposure changes in expression of metabolic genes were much less pronounced and predominantly confined to gluconeogenesis, probably indicating that metabolic disturbances might be initiated already early but will only manifest in repeatedly stressed mice .Thus, in our murine model, repeated stress caused severe metabolic dysregulations leading to a drastic reduction of the individualâs energy reserves. Under such circumstances stress may further reduce the ability to cope with new stressors such as infection or cancer.
