Transcription profiling of mouse C2C12 myoblast induced with tetracycline to enhance integrin alpha7 expression

ABSTRACT: Analysis of C2C12 myoblast induced with tetracycline to enhance integrin alpha7 expression. Integrin alpha7 is the major laminin binding integrin in muscle cells. Enhancing its expression has been demonstrated to alleviate pathology in a murine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Results of this study provide insights into the effects of increasing integirn alpha7 expression on muscle cells and possible side effects associate with enhancing integrin alpha7 in muscle cells. Experiment Overall Design: Triplicate biological smaples for each condition(induced and non-induced) C2C12 myoblast were used.

The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex maintains the integrity of skeletal muscle by associating laminin in the extracellular matrix with the actin cytoskeleton. Several human muscular dystrophies arise from defects in the components of this complex. The alpha(7)beta(1)-integrin also binds laminin and links the extracellular matrix with the cytoskeleton. Enhancement of alpha(7)-integrin levels alleviates pathology in mdx/utrn(-/-) mice, a model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and thus the integrin ...[more]

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the basal expression of OC, MOD and SV of newborn rats (3-5 day old) and its changes by shortâterm cultivation (24 hrs) and mild hypoxia (5 hrs). Three varieties of tissue samples were analyzed (i) Freshly prepared tissue, used as control; (ii) cultures held under normoxic conditions and (iii) cultures exposed during cultivation to 5 h hypoxia. The gene expression was analyzed using the Affymetrix GeneChip RN-U34. The functional specificity of the cochlea regions are well reflected by the gene expression pattern. For example, the basal expression of Organ of Corti is characterized by genes involved in potassium and calcium homeostasis. The MOD is characterized by genes involved in regulation of maturation of neuronal cells. The SV is characterized by genes involved in ion homeostasis and blood flow. Cultivation dramatically changes the gene expression. In contrast, mild hypoxia showed only small changes. The changes are interpreted as stress response. We used this analysis as screening approach to detect significant changes in gene expression and used the RT-PCR analyses of independent sister cultures for confirmation. Correlation analysis showed close relations of the expression levels when aliquots of the biological material were compared. However, comparisons of the expression levels received by microarray and by RT-PCR analysis of independent sister samples resulted in 70-90 % in similar predictions. This data indicate that possible discrepancies has its basis in biological sampling rather than factors of methodical errors on the level of RT-PCR. Experiment Overall Design: Pooled samples of the following cochlea preparations were studied: Experiment Overall Design: (i) Native preparations of Organ of Corti, modiolus and stria vascularis from newborn rats used as controls; (ii) Organotypic cultures of these preparations under normoxic conditions (24 h); (iii) Cultures which were exposed to 5 h hypoxia during cultivation. Samples were collected for total RNA immediately after preparation of the inner ear structures (native samples) or 24 h after onset of cultivation (normoxia, hypoxia).

Project description:In addition to their role in the development and function of the reproductive system, estrogens have significant anti-inflammatory properties. Although both estrogen receptors (ERs) can mediate anti-inflammatory actions, ERbeta is a more desirable therapeutic target because ERalpha mediates the proliferative effects of estrogens on the mammary gland and uterus. In fact, selective ERbeta agonists have beneficial effects in preclinical models involving inflammation without causing growth-promoting effects on the uterus or mammary gland. However, their mechanism of action is unclear. The purpose of this study was to use microarray analysis to determine whether ERbeta-selective compounds produce their anti-inflammatory effects by repressing transcription of proinflammatory genes. We identified 49 genes that were activated by TNF-alpha in human osteosarcoma U2OS cells expressing ERbeta. Estradiol treatment significantly reduced the activation by TNF-alpha on 18 genes via ERbeta or ERalpha. Most repressed genes were inflammatory genes, such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and CSF2. Three ERbeta-selective compounds, ERB-041, WAY-202196, and WAY-214156, repressed the expression of these and other inflammatory genes. ERB-041 was the most ERbeta-selective compound, whereas WAY-202196 and WAY-214156 were the most potent. The ERbeta-selective compounds repressed inflammatory genes by recruiting the coactivator, SRC-2. ERB-041 also repressed cytokine genes in PBMCs, demonstrating that ERbeta-selective estrogens have anti-inflammatory properties in immune cells. Our study suggests that the anti-inflammatory effects of ERB-041 and other ERbeta-selective estrogens in animal models are due to transcriptional repression of proinflammatory genes. These compounds might represent a new class of drugs to treat inflammatory disorders. Experiment Overall Design: Expression of ER in the U2OS-ERÃ cells was induced with doxycycline. The cells were treated in the absence or presence of 10 nM E2 for 18 h followed by incubation with TNF-{alpha} for 1 h. Total RNA were extracted, followed by cRNA labelling, and hybridization of fragmented samples to the U95Av2 arrays (n = 3 for untreated, n = 4 for TNF-{alpha}-treated, n = 4 for TNF-{alpha}- and E2-treated samples). The data were analyzed using the Microarray Suite Version 5.0 with the default parameters. The comparative data generated for each treated group were analyzed further in Microsoft Excel. TNF-{alpha}-induced genes were selected for further analysis only if they had a 1.2 signal log ratio mean value (2.3-fold change) and were statistically significant (p < 0.05) in at least three separate experiments.
