ABSTRACT: Total RNA pools from macrophages from Familial Hypercholesterolemia(FH) patients with tendon xanthomas (TX+) and without tendon xanthomas (TX-) were analyzed using Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays (HGU133A) to evaluate the gene expression profile in presence and absence of oxidized LDL.

Tendon xanthomas (TX) are pathognomonic lipid deposits commonly found in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether macrophages from FH patients with TX (TX+) have higher predisposition to foam cells formation after oxidized LDL (oxLDL) overload than those from FH patients without TX (TX-), and if their differential gene expression profile could explain these different phenotypes. Total RNA pools from macrophages from FH patients TX+ and TX- were ...[more]

Project description:The culture of neural stem cells (NSCs) as floating neurospheres has become widely used as an experimental model to analyse the properties of NSCs. Although the neurosphere model has existed for two decades, there is still no standard protocol to grow NSCs in this way. Thus, we have analysed the consequences of the frequency of growth factor (FGF-2 and EGF) addition to embryonic and adult olfactory bulb stem cells (eOBSCs and aOBSCs) cultures, specifically in terms of proliferation, cell cycle progression, death and differentiation, as well as on global changes in gene expression and signaling pathways. We found that addition of FGF-2 and EGF every two or four days rather than daily significantly reduces the volume of the neurospheres and the total number of cells, changes that were more evident in aOBSC than in eOBSC cultures. The reduction in neurosphere size was mainly due to an increase in cell death and occurs without major changes in the cell cycle parameters tested. Moreover, partial deprivation of FGF-2 and EGF produces a mild increase in aOBSC differentiation during the proliferative phase. Remarkably, these effects were accompanied by a significant upregulation in the expression of genes involved in cell death regulation (Cryab), lipid catabolic processes (Pla2g7), cell adhesion (Dscaml1), cell differentiation (Dscaml1, Gpr17, S100b) and signal transduction (Gpr17, Ndrg2), among others. These findings support that continuous supply of FGF-2 and EGF is critical to maintain the viability/survival of NSCs in culture and reveals novel molecular hallmarks of NSC maintenance/survival and expansion in response to these growth factors. Total RNA was extracted from aOBSC cultures using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and purified with Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit separation columns (Qiagen). The RNA was sent to the Genomic Unit of CNB (Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia, Madrid, Spain). RNA integrity was corroborated by using Bioanalyzer. Then, cDNA was synthesized and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, http://www.affymetrix.com) which contain a total of 45101 transcripts to assess and compare the overall gene expression profiles. 9 samples were analyzed.

Project description:Background Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) are economically the most important fruit crop worldwide. However, the complexity of molecular and biochemical events that lead to the onset of ripening of nonclimacteric fruits is not fully understood which is further complicated in grapes due to seasonal and cultivar specific variantion. The Portuguese wine variety Trincadeira gives rise to high quality wines but presents extremely irregular berry ripening among seasons probably due to high susceptibility to abiotic and biotic stresses. Results Ripening of Trincadeira grapes was studied taking into account the transcriptional and metabolic profilings complemented with biochemical data. The mRNA expression profiles of four time points spanning developmental stages from pea size green berries, through veraison and mature berries (EL 32, EL 34, EL 35 and EL 36) and in two seasons (2007 and 2008) were compared using the Affymetrix GrapeGen® genome array containing 23096 probesets corresponding to 18726 unique sequences. Over 50% of these probesets were significantly differentially expressed (1.5 fold) between at least two developmental stages. A common set of modulated transcripts corresponding to 5862 unigenes indicates the activation of common pathways in between years despite the irregular development of Trincadeira grapes. These unigenes were assigned in the functional categories of “metabolism, development”, “cellular process”, “diverse functions”, “regulation overview”, “response to stimulus, stress”, “signaling”, “transport overview”, “xenoprotein, transposable element” and “unknown”. Metabolic profiling using 1H NMR spectroscopy associated to two-dimensional techniques showed the importance of metabolites related to oxidative stress response, amino acid and sugar metabolism as well as secondary metabolism in grape ripening. This information was integrated with transcriptional profiling obtained using genome array and qRT-PCR for five developmental stages (EL 32, EL 34, EL 35, EL 36 and EL 38). Conclusions Altogether the results provide new information regarding the network of events leading to grape ripening as well as highlight features that may be cultivar specific namely in what concerns the role of carbohydrates and growth regulators´ metabolism as well as epigenetic factors and signaling pathways. 4 time points in 2007 season. 3 time points in 2008 season. 3 biological replicates.

Project description:Blastocyst formation is a primordial event of pre-implantation development since it is required for pregnancy establishment and progression. The blastocyst plays a pivotal role because it is the stage at which the embryo is transferred and starts coordinated cross-talks with the mother. It is also the terminal step of pre-implantation developmentbefore transfer; it reflects all stresses the embryo may have faced during the process of in-vitro treatment. Achieving the formation of a morphologically healthy blastocyst following normal kinetics is a good sign but remains a poor indicator of embryo quality. Considering the limitation of the invasive methods for competence assessment, the analysis of blastocysts’ gene expression is a promising way to improve our understanding of blastocyst formation and to study the effects of different treatments on gene expression. Methods: Early, expanded and hatched blastocysts were collected for RNA extraction, amplification, and cDNA microarray hybridization. Gene candidates (IFNt, PLAC8, SSLP1, AKR1B1, HNRNPA2B1, ARGFX, NANOS, CCNB1) were selected and confirmed using Q-RT-PCR to validate the microarray data. Results: Our analysis show that hatched blastocysts are enriched in genes transcripts implicated in implantation, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix digestion. Early blastocysts expressed genes mainly involved in cell cycle control, transcription and translation. Q-RT-PCR validated most microarray results (87.5%). Some of the differentially expressed genes are interesting as potential markers of competence. Conclusions: Overall, our study provides new insights into the molecular regulation of blastocyst formation. In addition, it could help assess blastocyst staging and select better embryos based on the expression of quality markers. In the present study the Laval/Sirard_bovine_embryo_3K_V3.0 array was used to conduct a series of 18 hybridizations (for three Blastocysts stages (early, expended, hatched) with three biological replicates and dye swaps) in a loop design experiment.
