Project description:The human immortalized brain endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3 is considered an in vitro model of the blood-brain-barrier. We aimed to characterize changes in the secretome of hCMEC/D3 subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) by SILAC, in order to identify new proteins involved in ischemia-triggered blood-brain-barrier disruption and test their potential as blood biomarkers for ischemic stroke diagnosis. After SILAC analysis, 19 proteins were found differentially secreted between OGD and normoxia/normoglycemia conditions (Fold Change>|1.4| and peptide count≥2). Protein folding and nucleic acid binding were the main molecular functions and epithelial adherens junctions and aldosterone signaling appeared as the main canonical pathways represented by OGD-secreted proteins. ANXA1, CLUS, IGFBP2, PRDX3, TIMP2 and COL1A2 were replicated by western blotting in 9 independent cell cultures. Five replicated proteins were analyzed in human serum samples of 38 ischemic stroke patients compared to 18 stroke-mimicking conditions and 18 healthy controls by ELISA. IGFBP2 showed increased blood levels when strokes were compared with stroke-mimicking patients (p<0.1). In conclusion, we characterized changes in the secretome of hCMEC/D3 after an ischemic insult and highlighted some candidates to become biomarkers for ischemic stroke diagnosis related to blood-brain-barrier disruption.

Project description:miRNA microarray profiling of primary cortical neurons exposed to 4h oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in vitro. RNA samples collected at 8h post-OGD terminaion. miRNAs were also profiled in mice exposed to 3- vessel occlusion model of stroke. RNA samples collected from contralateral (control) and ipsilateral (infarct) sides of the brain following 24h of reperfusion. Comparison of control and ischemic samples across 3 biological replicates for both in vitro and in vivo samples. In vitro cultures consisted of primary cortical neurons derived from E17 rat Wistar embryos. In vivo samples were obtained from C57bl/6 mice exposed to three-vessel occlusion.

Project description:The present study has used whole-rat genome microarray expression profiling to identify genes whose expression is significantly altered in hippocampal neuronal cultures submitted to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD), an established in vitro model for cerebral global ischemia that is suitable for investigations at the molecular level. To do so, total RNA was extracted from hippocampal neuronal cultures at an early (7h) and delayed (24h) time point after OGD, as well as from control neurons. Analysis of gene ontology showed that OGD followed by 7h or 24h of recovery induces changes in the expression levels of genes related with inflammation, response to oxidative stress, metabolism, apoptosis, synaptic proteins and ion channels and, importantly, genes that show different expression levels are mainly specific to one of the two time points of recovery analyzed. The expression levels of several genes were confirmed by qPCR and were in good agreement with the microarray data, showing that the combined use of the OGD model and the microarray technology can be a useful tool for the study molecular mechanisms contributing to the neuronal demise after transient global ischemia. Ischemia induced gene expression in primary hippocampal neuronal rat cultures was measured at 7 and 24 hours after exposure to Oxygen and Glucose deprivation (OGD). Three independent experiments were performed at each time (7 or 24 hours) as independent biological replicates.

Project description:Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) is a cellular phenomenon consistently observed upon occurrence of ischemic stroke which eventually results in neuronal death. Neuronal cell death after ischemia takes place via two distinct processes, necrosis and apoptosis. Apoptosis, programmed cell death, is denoted by chromatin condensation, nuclear blebbing, cellular shrinkage, and DNA fragmentation. Unlike apoptosis, cellular swelling and lysis is suggestive of necrosis. However, these two processes are related not only to the severity but also to the duration of ischemia. Microarray analysis was carried out using 20 Illumina mouse Ref8V1.1 genechip arrays. The assignment of the arrays was as follows: Controls (n=5); exposure to OGD for 10min, 5h, 8h, 15h and 24 h (n=3 respectively).

Project description:The overexpression of transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc reprograms a somatic nucleus to one that is transcriptionally and epigenetically indistinguishable from an embryonic stem (ES) cell. However, it is still unclear if transcription factors can completely convert the nucleus of a differentiated cell into that of a distantly related cell type such that it maintains complete transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming in the absence of exogenous factor expression. To test this idea, we screened a library of doxycycline-inducible vectors encoding neural stem cell (NSC)-expressed genes and found that stable, self-maintaining NSC-like cells could be induced under defined growth conditions after transduction of transcription factors. These induced NSCs (iNSCs) were characterized in the absence of exogenous factor induction and were shown to be transcriptionally, epigenetically, and functionally similar to endogenous embryonic cortical NSCs. Importantly, iNSCs could be generated from multiple adult cell types including liver cells and B-cells with genetic rearrangements. Our results show that self-maintaining proliferative neural cells can be induced from non-ectodermal cells by expressing specific combinations of transcription factors. Expression analysis was performed on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), primary-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) and induced neural stem cells (iNSCs).

Project description:To identify factors involved in glioma-initiating cells (GICs), we compared gene expression between GIC-like cells and non-GICs. Neural stem cells (NSCs) were transfected with pCMS-EGFP-HRasL61 and pBabe-neo by electroporation and cultured in 0.5 mg/ml neomycin. The GFP-positive stable NSCs (NSCL61s) were purified by flow cytometry. Total RNA was prepared using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN).

Project description:Cellular differentiation involves widespread epigenetic reprogramming, including modulation of DNA methylation patterns. Using Differential Methylation Hybridization (DMH) in combination with a custom DMH array containing more than 53,000 features covering more than 16,000 murine genes, we carried out a genome-wide screen for cell- and tissue-specific differentially methylated regions (tDMRs) in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs), in in-vitro induced neural stem cells (NSCs) and 8 differentiated embryonic and adult tissues. Unsupervised clustering of the generated data showed distinct cell- and tissue-specific DNA methylation profiles, revealing 202 significant tDMRs (p<0.005) between ESCs and NSCs and a further 380 tDMRs (p<0.05) between NSCs/ESCs and embryonic brain tissue. We validated these tDMRs using direct bisulfite sequencing (DBS) and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation on chip (MeDIP-chip). Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the genes associated with these tDMRs showed significant (absolute Z score >1.96) enrichment for genes involved in neural differentiation, including e.g. Jag1 and Tcf4. Our results provide robust evidence for the relevance of DNA methylation in early neural development and identify novel marker candidates for neural cell differentiation.

Project description:Human tissue based proteomics projects are challenging due to low abundance of proteins and tissue specificity of protein expression. In this study, we aimed to develop a cell-based approach to profile the male specific region of the Y chromosome (MSY) proteins. First, we profiled the expression of 23 Y chromosome genes and 15 of their X-linked homologues during neural cell differentiation from NT2 cells at three different developmental stages using qRT-PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescent (IF) techniques. The expression level of 12 Y-linked genes significantly increased over neural differentiation. Including RBMY1, EIF1AY, DDX3Y1, HSFY1, BPY2, PCDH11Y, UTY, RPS4Y1, USP9Y, SRY, PRY, and ZFY. Subsequently, DDX3Y was selected as a candidate for knockdown as it was significantly expressed in neural progenitor cells and it is known to be expressed in a gender specific manner and play a role in spermatogenesis. A siRNA-mediated DDX3Y knockdown in neural progenitor cells impaired cell cycle progression and increased apoptosis, consequently interrupting differentiation. Label-free quantitative shotgun proteomics based on a spectral counting approach was then used to characterize the proteomic profile of the cells after DDX3Y knockdown. Among 920 reproducibly identified proteins detected, 74 proteins were differentially expressed following DDX3Y siRNA treatment compared to mock treated cells. Functional grouping indicated these proteins were associated with cell cycle, cell-to-cell signaling, apoptosis and other important networks such as RNA processing and transcription regulation. Disease-based analysis confirmed DDX3Y involvement primarily in neurological and RNA metabolism disorders. Our results confirm that MSY genes are expressed in male neuronal cells, and demonstrate that Y linked DDX3 (DDX3Y) could play a multifunctional role in neural cell development in a sexually dimorphic manner.

Project description:Rosette neural stem cells (R-NSCs) represent early stage of neural development and possess full neural differentiation and regionalization capacities. R-NSCs are considered as stem cells of neural lineage and have important implications in study of neurogenesis and cell replacement therapy. However, the molecules regulating their functional properties remain largely unknown. Rhesus monkey is ideal model to study human neural degenerative diseases and plays intermediate translational roles as therapeutic strategies evolve from rodent systems to human clinical applications. In this study, we derived R-NSCs from rhesus monkey embryonic stem cells (rESCs) and systematically investigated the unique expressions of mRNAs, microRNAs, and signaling pathways by genome-wide comparison of the mRNA and microRNA profilings of ESCs, R-NSCs at early (R-NSCP1) and late passages (R-NSCP6) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Apart from the R-NSCP1 specific protein-coding genes and microRNAs, we identified several pathways including Hedgehog and Wnt highly activated in R-NSCP1. The possible regulatory interactions among the microRNAs, protein-coding genes and signaling pathways were proposed. Besides, many genes with alternative splicing switch were identified at R-NSCP1. These data provided valuable resource to understand the regulation of early neurogenesis and to better manipulate the R-NSCs for cell replacement therapy. mRNA and miRNA profiles for four stages in rhesus embryonic stem cell neural differentiation, eight samples in all
