Arsenic-induced Changes in L2 Cells

ABSTRACT: Arsenic is a carcinogen that is known to induce cell transformation and tumor formation. Although studies have been performed to examine the modulation of signaling molecules caused by arsenic exposure, the molecular mechanisms by which arsenic causes cancer are still unclear. We hypothesized that arsenic alters gene expression leading to carcinogenesis in the lung. In this study, we examined global gene expression in response to 0.75 M-BM-5M arsenic treatment for 1-7 days in a rat lung epithelial cell line (L2) using an in-house 10k rat DNA microarray. One hundred thirty one genes were identified using the one-class statistical analysis of microarray (SAM) test. Of them, 33 genes had a fold change of M-bM-^IM-% 2 at least between two time points. These genes were then clustered into 5 groups using K-means cluster analysis based on their expression patterns. Seven selected genes, all associated with cancer, were confirmed by real-time PCR. These genes have functions directly or indirectly related to metabolism, glycolysis, cell proliferation and differentiation, and regulation of transcription, all of which may be involved in neoplastic transformation of cells. Our findings provide important insight for the future studies of arsenic-mediated lung cancer. Keywords: Lung, aresenic, L2, micorarray L2 cells were exposed with 0.75 uM of arsenite for 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days (C, D1, D3, D5 and D7). The samples were arranged for hybridization using a loop design. For each paired sample, dye flip and three biological replications were performed for each sample.

Project description:This data series contains spotted oligo microarray data from 10 different experiments using Agilent Rat v2 microarrays. This data is being made public in support of Fillon S et al. Journal of Immunology, (2006). Proinflammatory bacterial components are at least partially responsible for causing the clinical features of sepsis, a syndrome that causes >100,000 deaths each year in the US (1). In the case of Gram positive infection, a key bacterial element recognized by the innate immune system is the cell wall, a complex network of peptidoglycan covalently linked to teichoic acids, proteins and lipoproteins. The current model of innate immune recognition of Gram positive bacteria suggests bacterial cell wall interacts with host recognition proteins, such as toll-like receptors (TLR) and Nod proteins. We describe an additional recognition system mediated by the platelet activating factor receptor (PAFr) and directed to the pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) phosphorylcholine that results in uptake of bacterial components into host cells. Intravascular choline-containing cell walls bound to endothelial cells and caused rapid lethality in wild type, Tlr2-/- and Nod2-/- mice, but not in Pafr-/- mice. Cell wall exited the vasculature into the heart and brain, accumulating within endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes and neurons in a PAFr-dependent way. Physiological consequences of the cell wall/PAFr interaction were cell specific, being noninflammatory in endothelial cells and neurons, but causing rapid loss of cardiomyocyte contractility that contributed to death. Thus, PAFr shepherds phosphorylcholine-containing bacterial components such as cell wall into host cells from where the response ranges from quiescence to severe pathophysiology. Keywords: Competitive hybridizations The ten experiments in this series comprise of four distinct experiments, two of which were performed as biological triplicates and two as biological duplicates.

Project description:To investigate the transcriptional profile of GVE2 genes, the viral genes were identified by DNA microarray with Cy5- or Cy3-dUTP-labeled cDNAs prepared from uninfected and GVE2-infected Geobacillus sp. E263 at 4 h p.i.. After hybridization with the Cy3-dUTP-labeled cDNAs from GVE2-infected Geobacillus sp. E263 at 4 h p.i., Cy5-dUTP-labeled cDNAs from uninfected Geobacillus sp. E263 as well as Cy3- dUTP-labeled yeast cDNAs and Hex DNA, many spots produced positive signals significantly above the background, while no signal appeared for the Cy5-dUTP-labeled cDNAs from uninfected Geobacillus sp. E263., indicating that the positive signals represented the GVE2 gene transcripts detectable by DNA microarray. The DNA fragments, detected to be positive in the reverse transcripts at 4 h p.i., contained 74.2% of the presumptive GVE2 ORFs. Keywords: Transcriptional profile of thermophilic bacteriophage at 4 h p.i. A DNA microarray containing 82 DNA fragments of the viral genome was constructed following a PCR-based microarray method. Briefly, specific primer sets were designed to amplify approximately 500-bp fragment each using viral genome as template. All PCR products showing a single band of the appropriate size by gel electrophoresis were purified, and reconstituted in TE buffer at a final concentration of about 500 Î¼g/ml for spotting in triplicates onto the silylated-glass slides (CEL Associates, Inc. USA) using a microarrayer (Smart Arrayer 48, CapitalBio). Eight DNA fragments from yeast genome and a randomly synthesized DNA fragment (Hex) were included as exogenous positive controls to normalize the microarry date. Distilled water was used as negative controls. Total RNAs were isolated from the uninfected and phage-infected Geobacillus sp. E263 cells at 4 h postinfection. The cDNAs from uninfected Geobacillus sp. E263 were labeled with Cy5 and the cDNAs from phage-infected Geobacillus sp. E263 labeled with Cy3. At the same time, the cDNAs from yeast and the Hex DNA were labeled with Cy3. The Cy5- or Cy3-dUTP-labeled cDNAs were resuspended in hybridization solution and hybridized with the microarrays for 16 to 18 h at 42Â°C. Then the microarrays were rinsed several times following the standard method. Following the washing steps, the microarrays were dried by low-speed centrifugation (500 g for 5 min), and immediately scanned using a GenePix 4000B array scanner (Axon Instruments, Inc.). Images obtained from scanning were analyzed by GenePix Pro 4.0 array analysis software (Axon Instruments, Inc.)

Project description:We used cDNA microarray technology to compare the genome-wide expression profiles of a wild type strain (BY4700) (E02, E04, E06) or the isogenic strain deleted of GLN3 and GAT1 genes (E01, E03, E05) grown in YNB medium with glutamine as nitrogen source (M.Gln) against the wild type strain grown in M.Gln after addition of rapamacyn (20 min) (E01, E02), or M.proline (M.Pro) (E03, E04) or after a two hours shift from M.Gln to M.Pro (E05, E06), all growth conditions known to modify the expression of genes involved in nitrogen utilization. These microarrays allowed to identify the set of genes that were up or down-regulated in response to the quality of the nitrogen source. To evaluate whether the majority of genes responding to the nitrogen source were dependent on Gln3 and Gat1, we compared the expression profiles of the wild type strain and of the isogenic strain deleted of GLN3 and GAT1 genes (03167b: ura3, gln3â, gat1â), when both strains were grown on M.Gln + rapamycin (E07), or M.Pro (E08) or after a shift from M.Gln to M.Pro (E09). We also used an independent means of identifying Gln3-Gat1 regulated genes by comparing the expression profiles in wild type and ure2â (4709âURE2) strains on M.Gln medium (E10). The hybridization signal was measured using a GSM418 laser scanner. Image analysis for each array was processed using the GenePix Pro 4.0 (Axon Instruments, Inc.) software package, which measures fluorescence intensity pairs for each gene. Following image acquisition, a visual inspection of the individual spots on each microarray (size, signal-to-noise ratio, background level, and spot uniformity) completed the flagging (present/not present, good/bad) of the data. To maximize sensitivity two scans were made, one at high laser power and high PMT (Photo Multiplier Tube) gain to detect the faintest spots, and a second one using low laser power and a PMT gain avoiding saturation. The values for spots presenting â¥ 5% saturation in the first scan were calculated based on an extrapolation after linear regression analysis of the intensities from both scans. These data were then imported in the GeneSpring 7.1 (Silicon Genetics) software package, applying a per spot per chip intensity-dependent (Lowess) normalization for further analysis.
