Temporal effects of intermittent- and sustained hypoxia on gene expression patterns in rat lungs

ABSTRACT: Time-course gene expression profiles were obtained from lung tissues of the rats treated with room air, intermittent- (IH) or sustained hypoxia (SH) for 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days using CodeLink microarrays. Using a systems biology approach, we observed that two different mechanisms are involved in the lung responses to IH and SH: IH leads to increased G-protein coupled signaling-, ion transport-, neuronal- and steroid hormone receptor activities; whereas SH causes increased blood vessel morphogenesis and immune responses. Our results provide insight into molecular mechanisms underlying IH and SH. Keywords: gene expression array-based, count rats were treated with intermittent- (IH) or sustained hypoxia (SH) for 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days; rats treated with room air were used as controls; gene expression profiles were obtained from these rats

<h4>Unlabelled</h4>The molecular networks underlying the lung response to hypoxia are not fully understood. We employed systems biology approaches to study temporal effects of intermittent or sustained hypoxia on gene expression in rat lungs. We obtained gene expression profiles from rats exposed to intermittent or sustained hypoxia lasting 0-30 days and identified differentially expressed genes, their patterns, biological processes, and regulatory networks critical for lung response to intermit ...[more]

Project description:The long-term effects of neonatal intermittent hypoxia (IH), an accepted model of apnea-induced hypoxia, are unclear. We have previously shown lasting âprogrammingâ effects on the HPA axis in adult rats exposed to neonatal IH. We hypothesized that neonatal rat exposure to IH will subsequently result in a heightened inflammatory state in the adult. Rat pups were exposed to normoxia (control) or six cycles of 5% IH or 10% IH over one hour daily from postnatal day 2 â 6. Plasma samples from blood obtained at 114 days of age were analyzed by assessing the capacity to induce transcription in a healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) population and read using a high-density microarray. The analysis of plasma from adult rats previously exposed to neonatal 5% IH vs. 10% IH resulted in 2,579 significantly regulated genes including increased expression of Cxcl1, Cxcl2, Ccl3, Il1a, and Il1b. We conclude that neonatal exposure to intermittent hypoxia elicits a long-lasting programming effect in the adult resulting in an upregulation of inflammatory-related genes. Apnea is the most common cause of neonatal hypoxia affecting about 50% of preterm births (30 Ã¢ÂÂ 31 weeks), usually due to immature respiratory development. Upregulation of inflammatory genes and pathways in children 7 Ã¢ÂÂ 10 years of age has been shown, and there is a known increased risk of insulin resistance in adulthood when the fetus is exposed to maternal hypoxia, but the mechanism is unclear. The long-term metabolic, endocrine, and immunological effects of neonatal intermittent hypoxia (IH) exposure, an accepted model of apnea-induced hypoxia, have not been thoroughly evaluated. Recent studies in rats have shown that perinatal IH exposure can result in oxidative stress, causing a permanent immune response subsequently resulting in features of diabetes mellitus. We have previously examined adult rats exposed to neonatal intermittent hypoxia and perinatal continuous hypoxia, and have found lasting Ã¢ÂÂprogrammingÃ¢ÂÂ effects on the HPA axis. We now assess the long term effects of an accepted model of apnea-induced hypoxia using a validated transcriptional bioassay to study the extracellular milieu of adult rats exposed to neonatal intermittent hypoxia. We hypothesize that exposure to neonatal intermittent hypoxia will result in an increased inflammatory state in the adult as a result of long-lasting programming. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat pups were treated with neonatal normoxia (21% O2, control), 5% intermittent hypoxia (IH), or 10% IH on postnatal days (PD) 2-6, daily over 1 hr. They were reared normally by birth dams and weaned at PD22. Males were allowed to mature and sacrificed at age PD114 after an overnight fast. Whole blood collected by decapitation into tubes with EDTA, and plasma saved for further analysis. Two adult (~180 day) male Brown Norway (BN) rats served as PBMC donors. Cells were incubated with 20% plasma that was either autologous BN (self-control), or one of 3 pools: a) SD normoxic N=8, b) SD 5% IH treated N=5, and c) SD 10% IH N=3.
