Project description:Using the highly sensitive miRNA microarray, we screened differentially-expressed miRNAs in colons of normal control (NC) rats, model control (MC) rats and herb-partitioned moxibustion (HPM) rats. We found 40 miRNAs differentially expressed in CD rats’ colons compared with the NC rats, and HPM significantly regulated 26 miRNAs in colon tissues compared with the MC group. Furthermore, the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction results showed that down-regulated miR-147 and miR-205 in CD rats’ colons were both significantly up-regulated by HPM, with 2.64- and 3.72-folds increased respectively, indicating that miR-147 and miR-205 are the target genes of HPM in treating CD rats. In the study presented here, four samples from each group were used to screen the differentially-expressed miRNAs in colons of experimental CD rats and the target genes of HPM. Six colons from each group were further used to verify the target genes of HPM. Finally, miR-147 and miR-205 were experimentally validated to be target genes of HPM.

Project description:Defense against attaching and effacing (A/E) bacteria requires the sequential generation of IL-23 and IL-22 to induce protective mucosal responses. While the critical source of IL-22 has been identified as CD4+ and Nkp46+ innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), the precise source of IL-23 is unclear. Here, we use genetic techniques to deplete specific classical dendritic cell (cDC) subsets and analyze immunity to the A/E pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. We find that Zbtb46+ cDCs, and specifically Notch2-dependent intestinal CD11b+ cDCs, but not Batf3-dependent CD103+ cDCs, are required for IL-23 production and immunity against C. rodentium. Notch2 controls cDC differentiation at a terminal step mediated by lymphotoxin signaling. Importantly, these results provide the first demonstration of a non-redundant function of CD11b+ cDCs in vivo. Analysis of genes differentially expressed between WT, Batf3 KO and Notch2 KO colons following C. rodentium infection. Mice were infected with 2 x 10^9 C. rodentium and colons harvested at either Day 4 or Day 9.

Project description:Folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism is required for purine, thymidylate, and S-adenosylmethionine synthesis. Impairments in folate metabolism diminish cellular methylation potential and genome stability. Cytoplasmic serine hydroxymethyl transferase (cSHMT) regulates partitioning between thymidylate and SAM biosynthesis. These experiments were designed to determine if mutations in cSHMT led to alterations in gene expression. Keywords: genetic modification RNA was isolated from proximal colons of cSHMT mutant, heterozygous, and wild-type mice raised on a folate-deficient diet. Three colon samples were isolated from each genotype to provide biological replication. Mutant and heterozygous data were then compared pair-wise against wild-type expression data.

Project description:PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to determine the gene expression networks regulated by tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2, or Tnfrsf1b) and to evaluate their potential bearing on immune cell subsets and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: mRNA-seq was performed on isolated distal colons from TNFR2-knockout and wildtype mice. Differentially expressed transcripts were compared to human ulcerative colitis microarray datasets on Gene Expression Omnibus and to mouse immunological expression datasets at the Immunological Genome Project. RESULTS: We identified 252 mouse transcripts whose expressions were significantly altered by the loss of TNFR2. The majority of these transcripts (228 of 252, ~90%) were downregulated in TNFR2-/- colons. TNFR2-regulated genes were able to positively discriminate between ulcerative colitis patients and healthy individuals with ~80% accuracy. Many TNFR2-regulated genes were also highly expressed in CD8+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS: Downregulation of TNFR2 is associated with a gene expression profile that is prominent in IBD and supportive of the role of CD8+ T cells in IBD pathogenesis. MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACT: Increased tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production has been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and anti-TNF therapy is a common therapeutic for this patient population. However, the role of TNF or its receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) in the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. Here we report that TNFR2 is protective in spontaneous (IL-10 knockout) and chemically (azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate)-induced mouse models of colitis and colitis-associated cancer. Mechanistically, TNFR2-deficiency in hematopoietic cells significantly increased incidence and severity of colitis and colitis-associated cancer characterized by a selective expansion of CD8+ T cells. We identified TNFR2-regulated genes in the colon that were specific for CD8+ T cells, interacted with multiple IBD risk genes, and are important regulators of CD8+ T cell biology. TNFR2 regulated CD8+ T-cell-specific genes that act as genetic susceptibility modifiers for IBD to mitigate the development of a pro-colitogenic milieu. Antibody-mediated depletion of CD8+ T cells prevented colonic inflammation and significantly reduced pathology in IL10-/-/TNFR2-/- deficient mice. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of TNFR2-/- naïve CD8+ T cells resulted in more severe disease than with wildtype naïve CD8+ T cells. Our findings provide insight into the disease modifier role of TNFR2 in the immunopathogenesis of IBD through the modulation of CD8+ T cell responses and support future investigation of this therapeutic target, especially in the subset of IBD patients with CD8+ T-cell dysfunction. Total RNA from distal colons of 8 week-old male wildtype C57Bl/6 and TNFR2-/- mice (n=3 each) was isolated using the PureLink RNA kit (Ambion, Life Technologies). RNA samples were submitted to the Genomic Services Lab at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology (Huntsville, AL) for multiplex library preparation, mRNA enrichment, and sequencing. Sequencing was performed to an average depth of 50M paired-end 50bp reads per sample (HiSeq, Illumina, San Diego, CA). Data files containing raw reads were aligned to the mouse genome using Tophat2/Bowtie2. Alignments were assembled into transcript representations with Cufflinks, and statistical tests for differential expression were performed with Cuffdiff 2. An adjusted P value < 0.05 (q<0.05) from the Cuffdiff 2 output was used as the cutoff for statistical significance.

Project description:Here we developed topobiologically complex mini-colons able to undergo tumorigenesis ex vivo by integrating microfabrication, optogenetic, and tissue engineering approaches. With this system, tumorigenic transformation can be spatiotemporally controlled by directing oncogenic activation through blue-light exposure, and emerging colon tumors can be tracked in real-time with single-cell resolution for several weeks without breaking the culture. These induced mini-colons display rich intra- and inter-tumoral diversity and recapitulate key pathophysiological hallmarks displayed by colorectal tumors in vivo. By fine-tuning cell-intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, mini-colons can be leveraged to unveil tumorigenic determinants, including dietary patterns, microbiota-derived metabolites, and pharmacological therapies.

Project description:The metabolic pathways that underlie the association between folate deficiency and increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unclear. We have studied the effect of C1THF synthase (encoded by the Mthfd1 gene) and dietary folate and choline on intestinal tumor development in Apcmin/+ mice and azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon cancer in mice. Mthfd1 deficiency did not alter tumor number or load in Apcmin/+ mice, but did result in a decreased incidence of colon tumors. Conversely, Mthfd1 deficiency increased tumor number 3.5-fold and tumor load 2-fold in AOM-treated mice. Here we tested colons isolated from wildtype and Mthfd1-deficient animals for alterations in gene expression. Keywords: genetic modification RNA was isolated from proximal colons of MTHFD heterozygous and wild-type mice raised on a control diet. Three colon samples were isolated from each genotype to provide biological replication.
