Project description:Analysis of the effects of genomic elements, gene transcritpion, and DNA replication on gene targeting. The hypothesis tested was that genomic elements and processes either positively or megatively influence AAV-mediated gene targeting. Results show that homologous recombination increases when the target site is transcribed in the opposite orientation of an incoming replication or transcription fork.

Project description:Background: Tissue remodeling induced by airway inflammation is a main trigger of pathogenesis in various chronic lung diseases like asthma, COPD, IPF, and pulmonary hypertension. The role of human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) in this context is unclear. Hypothesis: HASMCs participate in linking inflammation with remodeling. Methods: The inflammatory responses of ex vivo-cultivated HASMCs to TNFα were investigated by whole-genome-microarray analyses. Diferrential regulation of genes associated with airway inflammation and remodeling were verified by qRT-PCR and ELISA. Results: TNFa induced the expression of 18 cytokines/chemokines and five tissue remodeling genes involved in (severe/corticosteroid-insensitive) asthma, COPD, IPF and/or pulmonary hypertension. Conclusion: HASMCs participate in the interaction of inflammation and tissue remodeling. HASMCs might be considered as targets in therapies of chronic inflammatory lung diseases with regard to attenuating inflammation-induced remodeling processes leading to the development of emphysema or fibrosis. HASMCs of eight donors were left untreated of were stimulated with TNFa at 20 ng/ml. Total RNA was subjected after eight hours of stimulation to whole-human-genome oligo microarray analysis.

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive, fatal tumour strongly associated with asbestos exposure. There is an urgent need to improve MM patient outcomes and this requires functionally validated pre-clinical models. Mesothelioma-derived cell lines provide an essential and robust tool widely used for candidate drug evaluation. Although a number of cell lines are commercially available, a detailed comparison of these lines with freshly-derived primary tumour cells to validate their suitability as pre-clinical models is lacking. Patient-derived primary mesothelioma cell lines were established and characterised by gene expression profiling. Molecular profiling revealed a significantly different transcriptome in commercially available compared with primary cell lines. Primary mesothelioma cell lines are more representative of the tumour close to its native state and show a degree of molecular diversity, thus capturing the disease heterogeneity in a patient cohort.

Project description:This study performed transcriptional profiling of three independent human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) lines derived from unique donors, each cultured in four different media formulations varying in basic composition, serum, and growth factor content. The aim was to evaluate the relative contributions of donor-specific genetic variation and culture conditions to endothelial transcriptomic profiles. Such an investigation is highly relevant, as primary endothelial cells (e.g., HUVECs) are widely used in basic research and drug development, yet published findings are often contradictory or difficult to reproduce.

Project description:Metastasizing tumor cells exit the vascular system through dynamic interactions with endothelial cells that line the internal surface of vessels. While extravasation is a key event within the metastatic cascade, the signals regulating tumor cell adhesion to the endothelium and their subsequent transendothelial migration are poorly understood. Here, we combined Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) and phosphoproteomic analysis to identify cell-specific signaling pathways regulated between interacting breast cancer cells and endothelial cells (see PRIDE repository PXD001558). Further co-culture experiments were performed alongside the phosphoproteomic analysis in order to control for the protein quantity. These are presented here. Using SILAC, cell-specific labels were introduced into MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells (Human Breast cancer) and HUVECs (Human endothelial cells) to ensure each cell type had a distinct and traceable phosphoproteome when tumor and endothelial cells were co-cultured. To probe regulatory signaling events triggered in cancer cells following contact with endothelial cells, we labeled LM2 cells with medium or heavy isotopomers of arginine and lysine (Arg+6 Da, Lys+4 Da and Arg+10 Da, Lys+8 Da respectively). Heavy-labeled LM2 cells were collected by enzyme-free cell dissociation buffer, thereby preserving membrane proteins and adhesion receptors, and seeded onto a monolayer of light-labeled (Arg+0 Da, Lys+0 Da) HUVECs. Following 15 min of co-culture, non-adherent LM2 cells were gently removed and cancer cells that had attached to the endothelial layer were lysed together with the HUVECs. In parallel, medium-labeled LM2 cells were collected under the same conditions and maintained as suspension cells in monoculture to represent circulating tumor cells prior to any contact with the endothelium. These were then added to the harvested LM2-HUVEC co-culture in a 1:1 ratio of heavy:medium-labeled cells to provide a point of reference. Based on the SILAC labeling of the different cell populations, light-labeled peptides were assigned to HUVECs, medium-labeled peptides to monocultured LM2 cells in suspension, and heavy-labeled peptides to LM2 cells that had made contact with HUVECs. As such, the heavy/medium ratio for each peptide was used to quantify phosphorylation-dependent signaling changes occurring specifically in the LM2 cells upon contact with HUVECs. Conversely, to elucidate signaling events in HUVECs that were initiated by contacting cancer cells, light-labeled LM2 cells were seeded on top of a confluent monolayer of heavy-labeled HUVECs, while medium-labeled HUVECs were maintained in monoculture. Following 15 min of co-culture, the unattached LM2 cells were removed. Cells were lysed, mixed in a 1:1 ratio of heavy:medium HUVECs, followed by membrane fractionation and phosphoproteomic analysis as described above. A variation in phospho-peptide quantity could be due to the experimental difficulties in mixing heavy and medium labels in a 1:1 ratio or a quick regulation of the protein quantity through modification of its expression/degradation balance. Thus, we performed relative quantification of non-phosphorylated peptides in parallel with the phosphoproteomic analysis to account for changes in total protein abundance (data presented here) or correct for experimental bias. Cytoplasmic fractions were analyzed by LC-MS/MS before TiO2 enrichment and their median log2(H/M) were used for normalization of the phosphoproteomic dataset. In order to increase the number of proteins quantified in the LM2 cells, we performed a supplementary co-culture experiment and fractionated the peptides by SDS-PAGE. In order to get a confident relative quantification of Ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2), we performed 2 independent experiments followed by EPHA2 IP and LC-MSMS.

Project description:Purpose: Aim of the study is to identify functional differences between the P1 and P2-HNF4α isoforms. To do this, we generated Tet-On inducible lines that express either the human (P1) HNF4α2 or (P2) HNF4α8 under control of DOX in the HCT116 human colon cancer cells. Methods: HNF4α2 and Parental lines were induced with 0.3 μg/mL DOX, while HNF4α8 line was induced with either 0.1 or 0.3 μg/mL DOX for 24 hours. Samples were generated by deep sequencing, using the Illumina TruSeq RNA. Result: There were common and unique dysregulated genes identified in the HNF4α2 and HNF4α8 lines (+DOX); more upregulated genes than downregulated genes in both the lines. Conclusion: The functional difference between HNF4α2 and HNF4α8 is that the latter tends to upregulate genes involved in proliferation and anti-apoptosis while HNF4α2 upregulates genes involved in growth suppression and cell death. Tet-On inducible HCT116 cell (Parental, HNF4α2, and HNF4α8) lines, treated with (0.0, 0.1, or 0.3 μg/mL) DOX for 24 hours, were 50bp pair-ended sequenced in triplicate using Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep v2 Kit.

Project description:The blood-brain barrier is an interface for signal exchange between the brain and the periphery. We reasoned that brain endothelial cells (BECs) are ideally positioned to receive signals from the blood and transduce them into the brain via direct communication with astrocyte endfeet. In combination with the a method to define the in-vivo protein composition of astrocyte endfeet, we used mouse brain endothelial cell-specific RNA-seq to study BEC-endfeet interactions in response to peripheral inflammatory insult by LPS.

Project description:Tumour cell extravasation is a key event for metastatic colonisation1. However, little is known about the signalling pathways that govern tumour cell adhesion to the endothelium and subsequent transmigration through the blood vessel wall. Here, we combine Stable Isotope Labelling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) and global phosphoproteomic analysis to identify cell-specific signalling pathways regulated between interacting tumour and endothelial cells. We identified over 2,000 unique phosphorylation sites, where 77 were specifically regulated in the tumour cells and 43 in the endothelial cells.

Project description:Members of the NADPH oxidase (NOX) family of enzymes, which catalyze the reduction of O2 to reactive oxygen species, have increased in number during eukaryotic evolution. Seven isoforms of the NOX gene family have been identified in mammals; however, specific roles of NOX enzymes in mammalian physiology and pathophysiology have not been fully elucidated. The best established physiological role of NOX enzymes is in host defense against pathogen invasion in diverse species, including plants. The prototypical member of this family, NOX-2 (gp91phox), is expressed in phagocytic cells and mediates microbicidal activities. Here we report a role for the NOX4 isoform in tissue repair functions of myofibroblasts and fibrogenesis. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induces NOX-4 expression in lung mesenchymal cells by a SMAD-3–dependent mechanism. NOX-4–dependent generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is required for TGF-β1–induced myofibroblast differentiation, extracellular matrix (ECM) production and contractility. NOX-4 is upregulated in lungs of mice subjected to noninfectious injury and in cases of human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Genetic or pharmacologic targeting of NOX-4 abrogates fibrogenesis in two murine models of lung injury. These studies support a function for NOX4 in tissue fibrogenesis and provide proof of concept for therapeutic targeting of NOX-4 in recalcitrant fibrotic disorders. Experiment Overall Design: mRNA expression of genes in human fetal lung mesenchymal cells (IMR-90) treated with or without TGF-β1, as analyzed by Affymetrix (U133A) microarrays. Control (C0, C2, C3) = cells without TGF-β1 treatment (n=3). Experimental (T0, T5, T7) = cells treated with TGF-β1 (2ng/ml) (n=3). mRNA was collected for all 6 samples for 48 hours post treatment.

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) is the bioactive derivative of vitamin A that regulates gene expression by activating RA receptors (RAR). By using a reporter mouse model, we recently showed that endogenous RA/RAR signaling was present in kidney collecting duct cells, and in mouse inner medullary collecting duct cell line (mIMCD-3). In order to unveil target genes of endogenous RA/RAR signaling in kidney collecting duct cells, whole genome microarray analysis was performed on mIMCD-3 cells treated with AGN193109, a pan-RAR antagonist, and 4-diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB), an inhibitor of RA synthesizing enzyme. Specificity of gene expression regulation was confirmed by determining the reversibility of the regulation by simultaneous addtion of exogenous tRA. In the first set of experiment, mIMCD-3 cells were treated with either vehicle (0.1% ethanol and 0.1% DMSO) or 1 μM AGN193109 or 1 μM AGN193109+0.2 μM tRA. Three independent biological experiments were performed. In the second set of experiment, mIMCD-3 cells were treated with either vehicle (0.1% ethanol and 0.1% DMSO) or 25 μM DEAB or 25 μM DEAB+0. 01 μM tRA. Three independent biological experiments were performed. Treatment period for both sets of experiments were 24 hours.
