Project description:This study aims to demonstrate the link between epigenome-wide methylation aberrations at birth and genomic transcriptional changes upon allergen sensitization that occur in the neonatal dendritic cells (DC) due to maternal asthma. In an in vivo model reproducing human epidemiology findings, maternal but not paternal asthma predisposes the neonate to increased asthma risk, the effect is allergen-independent and is not genetic or environmental. Earlier we demonstrated that neonates of asthmatic mothers are born with a functional skew in splenic DCs that mediates the early-life asthma origin. These allergen-naive cells convey allergy responses to normal recipients, however minimal to no transcriptional or phenotypic changes were found to explain the functional pro-allergic alterations. In this study we profiled both allergen-naïve dendritic cells, and cells after allergen sensitization in vivo. We found that while allergen-naive DCs from asthma-at-risk neonates have minimal transcriptional change compared to controls, upon allergen sensitization, multiple genes with pre-existing epigenetic alterations show significant transcriptional change. . 24 samples from 2 batches, 3-4 replicates in each of 4 groups

Project description:Resiquimod is a nucleoside analog belonging to the imidazoquinoline family of compounds which is known to signal through Toll-like receptor 7. Resiquimod treatment has been demonstrated to inhibit the development of allergen induced asthma in experimental models. Despite this demonstrated effectiveness, little is known about the molecular events responsible for this effect. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the molecular processes which were altered following resiquimod treatment and antigen challenge in a mouse model of allergic asthma. Employing microarray analysis, we have characterized the 'asthmatic' transcriptome of the murine lung and determined that it includes genes involved in: the control of cell cycle progression, airway remodelling, the complement and coagulation cascades, and chemokine signalling. We have demonstrated that systemic resiquimod administration resulted in the recruitment of NK cells to the lungs of the mice, although no causal relationship between NK cell recruitment and treatment efficacy was found. Furthermore, results of our studies demonstrated that resiquimod treatment resulted in the normalization of the expression of genes involved with airway remodelling and chemokine signalling, and in the modulation of the expression of genes including cytokines and chemokines, adhesion molecules, and B-cell related genes, involved in several aspects of immune function and antigen presentation. Overall, our findings identified several genes, important in the development of asthma pathology, that were normalized following resiquimod treatment thus improving our understanding of the molecular consequences of resiquimod treatment in the lung milieu. Experiment Overall Design: A total of 18 samples, from 6 sets of biological replicates, were analyzed. 9 A/J and 9 C57BL/6 mice were divided into three equal groups. All animals were sensitized to ovalbumin, one group received PBS aerosol challenges, the other two received 1% ovalbumin aerosol challenges. Of the two ovalbumin challenged groups, one recieved resiquimod 24hours before each challenge.

Project description:Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is a 13-subunit enzyme that is a key complex of the oxidative phosphorylation system of the mitochondria, which generates the vast majority of the energy of the cell.COX subunit IV is the largest nuclear-encode subunit with important regulatory functions concerning energy metabolism. COX4-2 has been knocked out. Our study indicated strong expression of Cox4-2 in lung and therefore we test this mutant line under OVA-challenge conditions expecting a new asthma mouse model. Total RNA obtained from 1/2 lung of 4 female mice of each analysed group (widltype, wildtype challenged, mutant, mutant challenged)

Project description:PRDM family members encode for progeins functionally associated with the control of cell proliferation, differentiation as well as apoptosis action in cell and tissue-specific menner. As important factors in maintenance and differentiation of human and mouse ES cells several PRDM family members were identified. Prdm11 has and outsider position within the PRDM family due to the lack of zinc-finger domains. However, a zic-finger binding motive i present and likely assue the function of protein-protein interactionl. Prdm11 was described as a candidate for tumor suppresser. However, the function of this gene is still unknown. Our study give evidence a new functional association of Prdm11 in allergic disease and asthma.

Project description:Allergen exposure was thought to play a critical role in the etiology of AR. And allergen avoidance, the practice of avoiding exposure to allergens, has been generally advised as the management of AR. However, the effect is uncertain and the underlying mechanism is far from known. We used gene expression microarrays to identify genes differentially regulated by allergen avoidance in allergic rhinitis mouse model. Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays were used to identify the expression profiling of nasal mucosa in three groups of mice: (1) mice sensitized and challenged with saline (control group); (2) mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and sacrificed 2 hours after the last challenge (OVA group); (3) mice sensitized and challenged with OVA and sacrificed 4 weeks after the last challenge (4w-after group).

Project description:RATIONALE: In a mouse model of maternal transmission of asthma risk (J. Immunol 170:1683, 2003), baby mice of asthmatic (As), but not normal (Nrm), mothers show increased susceptibility to allergy. We previously showed that adoptive transfer to normal baby mice of dendritic cells (DCs) harvested from asthma-susceptible but allergen-naïve neonates reproduces the increased susceptibility to asthma. Hence, the maternal effect is mediated by altered neonatal DCs, which skew immune responses towards a pro-allergic Th2 phenotype. To identify potential molecular mechanisms, we performed epigenomic profiling of isolated neonatal DCs. METHODS: BALB/c mice were sensitized by 2 i.p. injections of ovalbumin (OVA) in alum and repeatedly challenged with OVA aerosols (As) prior to mating with normal males. Purified splenic CD11c+ DCs of 14-day old allergen-naïve offspring from these As and control Nrm mothers were isolated using magnetic beads. Methylation profiles of genomic DNA were obtained using Switchgear epigenomic chip arrays. After normalization and background correction analysis using significance analysis for microarrays (SAM) and ANOVA was performed. RESULTS: We identified 300 to 6000 (depending on stringency) chromosomal regions with significantly different methylation status, (2 â 10 fold). Clustering methods and pathway analysis identified several interrelated gene groups that merit further study. CONCLUSION: Maternal asthma causes multiple significant epigenetic changes in neonatal dendritic cells. Keywords: Dendritic cells, genomic DNA, DNA methylation, allergy, asthma The analysis includes 9 samples of genomic DNA from isolated splenic CD11c+ dendritic cells (>95% pure) per group. The two groups are neonates born to mothers with induced allergy to ovalbumin, and normal control neonates. All neonates are genetically and environmentally identical, and allergen-naive.

Project description:Mechanisms by which regulatory T (Treg) cells fail to control inflammation in asthma remain poorly understood. We show that a severe asthma-associated polymorphism in the interleukin-4 receptor alpha chain (IL-4Rα-R576) biases induced Treg (iTreg) cells towards a T helper 17 (TH17) cell fate. This skewing reflects the recruitment by IL-4Rα-R576 of the adaptor protein growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2), which drives IL-17 expression by an extracellular signal-regulated kinase-, IL-6- and STAT3-dependent mechanism. We showed that the IL-4Rα-R576 mutation elicits TH17 airway responses in vivo, in a house dust mite (HDM)- or ovalbumin (OVA)-driven model of airway inflammation in the mice carry the IL-4Rα-R576 mutation (Il4raR576 mice). Treg cell-specific deletion of genes encoding IL-6Rα or the master TH17 cell regulator Retinoid-related Orphan Receptor γt (RORγt), but not IL-4 and IL-13, protected mice against exacerbated airway inflammation induced by IL-4Rα--576. Analysis of lung tissue Treg cells revealed that the expression of IL-17 and the TH17 cell-associated chemokine receptor CCR6 was largely overlapping and highly enriched in Treg and conventional T (Tconv) cells of allergen-treated Il4raR576 mice. To further characterize the subset of IL-17 producing Foxp3+ Treg in the lung of OVA-treated mice we utilized CCR6 as a marker of Treg cells committed towards the TH17 cell lineage to examine their functional, epigenetic and transcriptional profiles. CCR6+Foxp3EGFP+ Treg cells isolated from OVA-sensitized and challenged Il4raR576 mice, by FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting) exhibited decreased methylation of the Foxp3 CNS2 locus comparing to CCR6âFoxp3EGFP+ Treg cells from same animals, indicative of decreased stability. They also exhibited profoundly decreased suppressive function as compared to CCR6â WT and CCR6â Il4raR576 counterparts. Transcriptional profiling of CCR6+Foxp3EGFP+ Treg cells revealed increased relative expression in CCR6+ Il4raR576 Treg cells of genes associated with a TH17 cell signature, including Rorc, Ccr6, Il23r, Il17a, Il17f, Il1r1, Nr1d1, Cstl, and Ahr comparing to CCR6âFoxp3EGFP+ Treg cells from same animals. Three CCR6+Foxp3EGFP+ Il4raR576 replicates and four CCR6âFoxp3EGFP+ Il4raR576 Treg replicates (controls) were sampled

Project description:Asthma bronchiale is an inflammatory disease of the respiratory airways and a major factor of increasing health care costs worldwide. The molecular actors leading to asthma are not fully understood and require further investigation. The aim of this study was to monitor the proteome during asthma development from early inflammatory to late fibrotic stages. A time-course-based ovalbumin (OVA) mouse model was applied to establish an asthma phenotype and the lung proteome was analysed at four time points during asthma development (0 weeks = control, 5 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks of OVA treatment).

Project description:SHS exposure during pregnancy has adverse effects on offspring. We used microarrays to characterize the gene expression changes caused by in-utero SHS exposure and adult (19-23 weeks) OVA challenge in 23-week mouse lungs. Left lungs from Balb/c male and female mice were collected at 23 weeks of age for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 microarrays. Based on the gender differences and in-utero exposure status, there are 4 groups of mice, females and males, exposed in-utero to filtered-air or SHS. All were exposure to OVA (19-23 weeks). We extracted RNA from 4 animals from each group for microarray analysis (total N = 16 samples).
