Project description:Introduction: The relationship between epilepsy and cognitive dysfunction has been investigated in canines, and memory impairment was prevalent in dogs with epilepsy. There is some evidence that canines with epilepsy have greater amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation and neuronal degeneration than healthy controls. The present study investigated plasma Aβ42 levels and performed proteomic profiling in dogs with refractory epilepsy and healthy dogs. Methods: In total, eight dogs, including four healthy dogs and four dogs with epilepsy, were included in the study. Blood samples were collected to analyze Aβ42 levels and perform proteomic profiling. Changes in the plasma proteomic profiles of dogs were determined by nano LC-MS/MS. Results and discussion: The plasma Aβ42 level was significantly higher in dogs with epilepsy (99 pg/mL) than in healthy dogs (5.9 pg/mL). In total, 155 proteins were identified, and of these, the expression of 40 proteins was altered in epilepsy. Among these proteins, which are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, 10 (25%) were downregulated in dogs with epilepsy, whereas 12 (30%) were upregulated. The expression of the acute phase proteins haptoglobin and α2-macroglobulin significantly differed between the groups. Complement factor H and ceruloplasmin were only detected in epilepsy dogs, suggesting that neuroinflammation plays a role in epileptic seizures. Gelsolin, which is involved in cellular processes and cytoskeletal organization, was only detected in healthy dogs. Gene Ontology annotation revealed that epilepsy can potentially interfere with biological processes, including cellular processes, localization, and responses to stimuli. Seizures compromised key molecular functions, including catalytic activity, molecular function regulation, and binding. Defense/immunity proteins were most significantly modified during the development of epilepsy. In Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, complement and coagulation cascades were the most relevant signaling pathways affected by seizures. The findings suggested that haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, α2-macroglobulin, complement factor H, and gelsolin play roles in canine epilepsy and Aβ levels based on proteomic profiling. These proteins could represent diagnostic biomarkers that, after clinical validation, could be used in veterinary practice as well as proteins relevant to disease response pathways. To determine the precise mechanisms underlying these relationships and their implications in canine epilepsy, additional research is required.

Project description:The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is multifactorial and characterized by progressive fibrosis and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix in the interstitium of the lung, and driven by an imbalance between anti-fibrotic and pro-fibrotic factors leading to collagen deposition. In the present study we wanted to identify proteins involved in these processes, and performed high-resolution proteomic profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from IPF patients and controls. The proteomic analysis of BAL demonstrated that the complement system was highly differentially regulated in IPF patients as compared with controls.

Project description:We demonstrated canine influenza virus (H3N2) pathogenicity to dogs using microarray analysis. Many genes related to innate immunity, such as toll-like receptors, immune cells of natural killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, and interferon, were induced. RNA was extracted from canine influenza virus H3N2-infected dogs. The lung RNA of uninfected dogs was used as a negative control. We compared gene expression levels between infected and uninfected dogs using microarray analysis.

Project description:Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is characterized by upper-lobe emphysema combined with lower-lobe fibrosis and a high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension. The aim of this study was to measure and analyze gene expression profiles in the lungs of CPFE patients. The results showed that the expression profiles of the fibrotic and emphysematous lesions were remarkably different in terms of function. Genes related to immune system, structural constituents of cytoskeleton, and cellular adhesion were overexpressed in fibrotic lesions, while genes associated with cellular fraction, cell membrane structures, vascular growth and biology, second-messenger-mediated signaling, and lung development (all processes that contribute to the destruction and repair of cells, vessels, and lung) were overexpressed in emphysematous lesions. The differences in gene expression were detected in fibrotic and emphysematous lesions in CPFE patients. We propose that the development of coexisted fibrotic and emphysematous lesions in CPFE is implemented by these different patterns of gene expressions. Lung tissue specimens from fibrous lesions and emphysematous lesions of 3 patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) were obtained for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We hypothesized that coexisted fibrosis and emphysema in CPFE are programmed by differential gene expressions in the corresponding lesions in the lungs of smokers susceptible to CPFE. Given the importance of genetic susceptibility in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of CPFE, we examined tissues from patients with CPFE to systemically identify genes significantly expressed in lung tissues with fibrotic lesions as well as genes significantly expressed in tissues with emphysematous lesions.

Project description:Studies of human fetal lung in explant culture and in isolated epithelial cells have demonstrated that both glucocorticoids and cyclic AMP promote differentiated alveolar type II cell phenotype as assessed by ultrastructural morphology and surfactant production. This project profiles changes in gene expression associated with hormone induced differentiation. Undifferentiated human fetal lung (13-20 wk) epithelial cells were cultured in serum-free medium (control) or with dexamethasone/8-Bromo cyclic AMP/isobutylmethylxanthine (DCI) to promote type II cell differentiation. RNA from five sets of experiments (10 samples) was evaluated using the U133A Affymetrix GeneChip set. Experiment Overall Design: Cells were isolated from 13 individual lungs and the cells from each were cultured in the absence (control) and presence of DCI dexamethasone (10 nM)/8-Br-cyclic AMP (0.1 mM)/isobutylxanthine for 72 h. RNA was isolated from the control and treated cells of each prep. For the 5 sets of microarray experiments (10 total chips, 2 for each control and treated pair), RNA from 2 of the cell preps was analysed as individual microarray comparisons. RNA from 11 cell preps was pooled for the other 3 experiments (4, 4, and 3 cell preps) to provide control and DCI-treated RNA pools.

Project description:We sought to confirm the genetic influence in the development of Ventilation-Associated Lung Injury (VALI) and, in the process, identify potential candidate genes involved in the disease by integrating differential gene expression profiling on rat lungs to a traditional strain survey analysis of the parental rat strains, VALI-sensitive Brown Norway rats versus VALI-resistant Dahl Salt Sensitive rats, comparing control (under room air ventilation) versus under high tidal volume (HTV) ventilation. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying VALI susceptibility and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: Rat lungs (Right lungs) from both sets of parents under the two conditions (control vs. HTV ventilation) were isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Aberrant expression of master phenotype regulators by lung fibroblasts may play a central role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Interrogating IPF fibroblast transcriptome datasets, we identified Forkhead Box F1 (FOXF1), a DNA-binding protein required for lung development, as a candidate actor in IPF. Thus, we determined FOXF1 expression levels in fibroblasts cultured from normal or IPF lungs in vitro, and explored FOXF1 functions in these cells using transient and stable loss-of-function and gain-of-function models. FOXF1 mRNA and protein were expressed at higher levels in IPF compared with controls. In normal lung fibroblasts, FOXF1 repressed key fibroblast functions such as proliferation, survival, and expression of collagen-1 (COL1) and actin related protein 2/3 complex, subunit 2 (ARPC2). ARPC2 knockdown mimicked FOXF1 overexpression with regard to proliferation and COL1 expression. FOXF1 expression was induced by the antifibrotic mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Ex vivo, FOXF1 knockdown conferred CCL-210 lung fibroblasts the ability to implant and survive in uninjured mouse lungs. In IPF lung fibroblasts, FOXF1 regulated COL1 but not ARPC2 expression. In conclusion, FOXF1 functions and regulation were consistent with an antifibrotic role in lung fibroblasts. Higher FOXF1 levels in IPF fibroblasts may thus participate in a compensatory response to fibrogenesis. Lung fibroblasts derived from 4 different IPF patients (P313, P355, P375 and P426) were transiently transfected with pcfoxf1 or control pcDNA3.1-constructs. Total RNAs were extracted 24 h after transfection and hybridized on microarrays. One color experiment with 2 experimental conditions: pcfoxf1 and pcDNA3.1

Project description:Skeletal muscle, as a large and insulin sensitive tissue, is an important contributor to metabolic homeostasis and energy expenditure. Obese dogs exhibit skeletal muscle insulin resistance, but the causes of these changes are unclear. Thus, we used canine microarrays to analyze gene expression profiles of skeletal muscle tissue collected from obese dogs, after 24 wk of ad libitum feeding. Skeletal muscle tissue samples were collected from 9 intact female beagles (4 yr-old; 4 control; 5 ad libitum) after 24 wk of ad libitum feeding.

Project description:Genomic profiling of RNA from cultured human fibroblasts of donor samples in the 10-14th passage was carried out to determine expression changes in the fibroblasts of individual with different degrees of pulmonary fibrosis. Donors consisted of individuals with rapid progressing pulmonary fibrosis, slow progressing pulmonary fibrosis, or no fibrosis. Genomic characterization of cultured human fibroblasts from donor samples was carried out in samples from donors with from 3 groups: rapid progressing pulmonary fibrosis, slow progressing pulmonary fibrosis, and non-fibrotic individuals. Large RNA (> ~ 200bp) was isolated from fibroblast cultures. Purified total RNA was amplified and labeled using NuGen Ovation kits (NuGEN Technologies, Inc., San Carlos, CA) and RNA from samples was hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133 plus 2.0 arrays.
