Project description:Pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups. Dams were then housed individually and fed throughout gestation a 22 % protein diet, representing the control group (C, n=5), or an 9% isocaloric protein diet, representing the low-protein (LP, n=6). Both diets were isocaloric, because the protein deficiency in the LP diet was compensated by the addition of carbohydrates. Feeding of LP diet began on the day of conception and continuing throughout pregnancy. The low-protien diet resulted in Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) of the fetuses.<br><br> An additional processed data file, E-MEXP-1015_all_norm_calls.txt, is available for download from <a href="ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/microarray/data/experiment/MEXP/E-MEXP-1015/">ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/microarray/data/experiment/MEXP/E-MEXP-1015/</a>

Project description:We have previously shown that during lactation, osteocytes directly remodel their perilacunar and pericanalicular matrix, thereby mobilizing calcium and contributing to maternal bone loss. To identify genes potentially responsible for perilacunar remodeling, microarray analysis was performed on osteocytes from CD-1 virgin and lactating mice and mice sacrificed on day 7 post weaning. By comparing how gene expression changes in osteocytes among virgin, lactation and post lactation, the goal is to identify the genes osteocytes use to remodel their perilacunar matrix To identify genes responsible for perilacunar remodeling, microarray analysis was performed on tibiae from CD-1 virgin and lactating mice and mice sacrificed on day 7 post weaning. Periosteum and bone marrow were removed from the tibiae and the bone fragments underwent sequential collagenase/trypsin digestion and were examined histologically to ensure removal of all surface cells and confirm osteocyte enrichment prior to RNA extraction. Microarray Affy M430 arrays, n=3 per group were performed and Genepattern and Bioconductor were used to analyse the microdata.

Project description:Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential precursor for the production of retinoic acid (RA), which in turn is a major regulator of gene expression, affecting cell differentiation throughout the body. Understanding how vitamin A nutritional status, as well as therapeutic retinoid treatment, regulates the expression of retinoid homeostatic genes is important for improving dietary recommendations and therapeutic strategies using retinoids. This study investigated genes central to processes of retinoid uptake and storage, release to plasma, and oxidation in the liver of rats under steady-state conditions after different exposures to dietary vitamin A (deficient, marginal, adequate and supplemented), and acutely after administration of a therapeutic dose of all-trans-RA. Over a very wide range of dietary vitamin A, lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) as well as multiple cytochrome P450s (CYP26A1, CYP26B1, and CYP2C22) differed by diet and were highly correlated with one another and with vitamin A status assessed by liver retinol concentration (all correlations, P<0.05). After acute treatment with RA, the same genes were rapidly and concomitantly induced, preceding RARß, a classical direct target of RA. CYP26A1 mRNA exhibited the greatest dynamic range (change of log26 in 3 h). Moreover, CYP26A1 increased more rapidly in the liver of RA-primed rats than naïve rats. By in situ hybridization, CYP26A1 mRNA was strongly regulated within hepatocytes, closely resembling RBP4 in location. Overall, whether RA is produced endogenously from retinol or administered exogenously, changes in retinoid homeostatic gene expression simultaneously favor both retinol esterification and RA oxidation, with CYP26A1 exhibiting the greatest dynamic change. All rats were housed in a room maintained at 22°C with a 12-h dark:light cycle, and food and water were freely available. For the Steady-State Vitamin A Study (experiment 1) and the Retinoic Acid 16-hour Kinetic Study (experiment 2), lactating female Sprague-Dawley rats with 12 female pups (purchased from Charles River Laboratories, Willmington, MA) were fed a vitamin A-deficient purified diet [AIN-93G diet, prepared by Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ] to reduce the transfer of vitamin A in milk from mother to pups prior to the start of the study. For experiment 1, from weaning, the offspring were fed the same diet modified to contain vitamin A at one of four levels: 0 (vitamin A deficient), 0.4 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A marginal), 4 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A adequate control), or 100 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A supplemented). All rats were studied at 8 weeks of age. Rats were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and blood and liver were collected rapidly and frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C before analysis. In experiment 2, at 8 weeks of age female vitamin A-deficient rats were treated with ~100 ug of All-trans-Retinoic acid (at-RA) for 0 (vehicle only), 3, 6, 10 or 16 h (n=3-4/group). Tissues were collected and RNA was prepared in the same manner as in experiment 1. In the 90-minute "first pass" kinetic study (experiment 3), female rats were purchased at 6 weeks of age and fed a stock rodent diet. When the rats were 8 weeks old they were assigned to a control (naïve) group. Rats in the naive group received an equal amount of vehicle only (vegetable oil/5% ethanol). Food was removed immediately. Sixteen hours after priming, each rat was lightly anesthetized by isoflurane-oxygen inhalation and treated with ~25 ug all-trans-RA bound to albumin [10 ug RA per 100 g bo dy weight], injected into the exposed left common iliac vein. The incision was closed with a surgical staple. The rats were allowed to recover from the anesthesia. Rats were killed at 0 minute (vehicle injection), and 30, 60, and 90 min (n = 3/group) after injection of the RA test dose. Rats were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and blood and liver were collected rapidly and frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C before analysis. For experiment 1, five biological repeats were Vitamin A deficient, seven biological repeats were Vitamin A marginal, six biological repeats were Vitamin A adequate, and two biological repeats were Vitamin A supplemented. In experiment 2, three biological repeats were performed for each of the following treatments: untreated, at-RA for 3 hours, at-RA for 6 hours and at-RA for 16 hours. Four biological repeats were treated with at-RA for 10 hours. For experiment 3, two biological repeats were untreated and three biological repeats were performed for each of the following at-RA treatment times: 30, 60 and 90 minutes. A total of 47 samples were analyzed.

Project description:While the phenomenon linking the early nutritional environment to disease susceptibility exists in many mammalian species, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that nutritional programming is a variable quantitative state of gene expression, fixed by the state of energy balance in the neonate, that waxes and wanes in the adult animal in response to changes in energy balance. We tested this hypothesis with an experiment, based upon global gene expression, to identify networks of genes in which expression patterns in inguinal fat of mice have been altered by the nutritional environment during early post-natal development. Gene expression patterns in inguinal fat was assessed at 5, 10, 21 days of age and as adults fed chow (56 days of age) followed by high fat diet for 8 weeks (112 days of age) for C57BL/6J mice reared by lactating dams fed either a control diet (CONT), lactating dams fed a diet in which food intake was restricted to cause under-nourishment (lactation under-nutrition; LUN); and, lactating dams fed a high fat diet in where the number of progeny was limited to four (lactation over-nutrition; LON) . 15 samples with 3 technical replicates of each sample. Each of the 15 samples consisted of pooled total RNA from 12 male mice. Dietary control samples are included for each time period.

Project description:We have previously reported that providing a control diet to obese and diabetic mice during the periconceptional/gestation/lactation period, led to a drastic sex-specific shift from susceptibility to resistance to high fat feeding (HFD) in the female offspring. In the present study, we aimed to characterize exhaustively the metabolic phenotype of F1 and F2 sensitive (S1, S2) and resistant (R1, R2) mice and underscore in the liver, muscle and adipose tissue, the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms supporting the response to HFD, the trait of resistance/susceptibility and the adaptation across generations. We report the transcriptomic analyses realized based on a candidate gene approach in the liver using a custom mouse microchip. A direct comparison strategy with dye-swapping was used to compare two conditions and dye-swaps were replicated several times with at least 4 different animals/group. The comparisons of primary interest: S1 vs N1 (S1/N1); S2 vs N2 (S2/N2); R2 vs N2 (R2/N2); R2 vs S2 (R2/S2) and S2 vs S1 (S2/S1) were made according to a design such that secondary comparisons could be estimated.

Project description:Gene expression studies in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) can provide knowledge that would be difficult to obtain using other types of biological samples, as these cells can reflect overall response of the body to a specific stimulus, such as diet. Here, we aimed to study the impact of sustained intake of isocaloric diets with an unbalanced macronutrient proportion (rich in fat or protein) on PBMC gene expression in rats using transcriptomics, to better understand the effects of these diets on metabolism and health. Macronutrient diet composition (especially increased protein content) affected PBMC gene expression. An important effect was observed in immune response-related genes. High protein (HP) diet produced an activation of genes mainly related to antigen recognition/presentation, whereas the high fat (HF) diet was more related to a decreased expression of these genes. Key energy homeostasis genes (mainly involved in lipid metabolism) were also affected, reflecting a nutritional adaptive response to the diets. Decreased Dhrs3 and increased Pref-1/Dlk1 expression observed in HP-fed animals reflects a lower lipogenic capacity. In addition, HF diet affected the expression of genes related to insulin resistance/signaling (Msra/Slc9a6, Asb6), hypoxia (Akap12), cardiovascular problems (Ethe1, Lr11), cognitive impairment (Tmcc2) and tumorigenesis (Ddx17, Phb, Rnasen/Drosha, and Tsc2). HP diet also impaired the expression of genes related to glucose metabolism and insulinemia (Glut-4/Slc2a4, Sfxn5, Slc16a1), but positively affected genes involved in liver function (Clec4f and St6galnac3) and cardiovascular protection (Sort1). In conclusion, gene expression analysis in PBMC can provide information that could be useful to detect metabolic deviations and health consequences of diets with an unbalanced macronutrient composition. 2 months-old male Wistar rats received a low fat control diet, or a high fat (HF) diet, or a high protein (HP) diet for 4 months, respectively. At the end of the intervention, prior to the sacrifice of the animals, peripheral blood samples (1.5-2.5 mL) were collected from the safena vein, using heparin in NaCl (0.9%) as anticoagulant. Immediately after blood collection, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll gradient separation. Total RNA was isolated from PBMC, quantified and qualified, and subsequently used for global gene expression profiling using Agilent 4x44K microarrays.
