Project description:OBJECTIVE: To study the genetic regulatory mechanisms in the remote zone of left ventricular (LV) free wall in order to partly explain the more frequent progression to heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in diabetic rats. METHODS: 10 weeks after diabetes mellitus (DM) induction with Streptozotocin (STZ), the left anterior descending coronary arteries of uncontrolled diabetic Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and non-diabetic ones were ligated without reperfusion. Then, the remote zone tissues of LV free wall were taken as samples at day 1, 7, 14, 28, and 56 post AMI. Significant different expression genes were filterd from Affymetrix Genechip U230 2.0 array by GCOS software. Genetic changes post myocardial infarction were classified by hierarchical clustering of 10 gene chips. And then, the differential expressions of 10 selected transcripts identified by the microarray were examined in greater detail by Real Time-PCR. RESULTS: According to hierarchical clustering, we find that the molecular regulatory expression related to cardiac remodeling in the remote zone to myocardial infarction is quite different as time elapses in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats. The gene expression at day 1 and 7 post AMI in both groups is similar, while the genetic changes at day 14 post AMI in diabetic rats and the ones at day 14 and 28 in non-diabetic rats are classified into the same cluster. And then the genetic changes at day 28 and 56 post AMI in diabetic rats and the ones at day 56 in non-diabetic rats are classified into the same cluster. (Figure.1) The patterns of numerous products of genes expression were used in the cluster, including 118 genes, such as leucine-rich PPR-motif containing (IL-6 signaling pathway), procollagen type I, VI, VIII, and XV, fibronectin1, RT1, and TIMP-1, etc. CONCLUSION: The genetic findings in this study might be the possible mechanism that diabetes mellitus can accerate the progression of post-infarction genetic regulatory expression. Experiment Overall Design: All studies were performed with male SD rats (200-220g), aged 8 weeks, which were obtained from laboratorial animal center of Chinese University of Agriculture. DM was induced with a singleintraperitoneal injection of STZ (65 mg/kg in 0.1mmol/L, pH 4.5 sodium citrate buffer) . Age and body weight matched rats that used as non-diabetic controls were injected with the same dose of sodium citrate buffer (0.1mmol/L, pH 4.5). Ultrastructure changes of myocardium were observed 10 weeks after DM induction by TEM. 10 weeks after DM induction,both diabetic and non-diabetic rats were subjected to left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) ischemia for 1-56 days without reperfusion. Two-dimensional echocardiography was utilized to obtain LV dimensions and LV percent fractional shortening at baseline, DM 10weeks, and at 1d, 7d, 14d, 28d, 56d after AMI; the remote zone tissues of LV free wall were taken as samples at day 1, 7, 14, 28, and 56 post AMI for gene chip microarray analysis (10 samples from 30 rats); in addition, heart-to-body weight and heart to tibial length ratios and masson's trichrome staining was measured as an index of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis at baseline, DM 10weeks, and at 1d, 7d, 14d, 28d, 56d after AMI.

Project description:Cardiomyopathy in type 1 diabetic patients is characterized by early onset diastolic and late onset systolic dysfunction. The mechanism underlying development of diastolic and systolic dysfunction in diabetes remains unknown. We used microarrays to detail the ventricle gene expression changes that underly development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: 150g male Wistar rats (Harlan) we injected with 65 mg/kg streptozotocin to induce Type 1 diabetes. Four replicates of Control and Diabetic rat ventricles were removed and frozen at Three time points for total RNA isolation and hybridization on the Affymetrix RG-U34A microarray. The 3 day samples show a baseline for initial diabetic changes in the ventricle. The 28 day samples show changes associated with diastolic dysfunction in diabetes. The 42 day samples show changes associated with both diastolic and systolic dysfunction in type 1 diabetic rat ventricles.

Project description:Murine models have been valuable instruments in defining the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN), but they only partially recapitulate disease manifestations of human DN, limiting their utility . In order to define the molecular similarities and differences between human and murine DN, we performed a cross-species comparison of glomerular transcriptional networks. Glomerular gene expression was profiled in patients with early type 2 DN and in three mouse models (streptozotocin DBA/2 mice, db/db C57BLKS, and eNOS-deficient C57BLKS db/db mice). Species-specific transcriptional networks were generated and compared with a novel network-matching algorithm. Three shared, human-mouse cross-species glomerular transcriptional networks containing 143 (Human-STZ), 97 (Human- db/db), and 162 (Human- eNOS-/- db/db) gene nodes were generated. Shared nodes across all networks reflected established pathogenic mechanisms of diabetic complications, such as elements of JAK-STAT and VEGFR signaling pathways . In addition, novel pathways not formally associated with DN and cross-species gene nodes and pathways unique to each of the human-mouse networks were discovered. The human-mouse shared glomerular transcriptional networks will assist DN researchers in the selection of mouse models most relevant to the human disease process of interest. Moreover, they will allow identification of new pathways shared between mice and humans. We used microarrays to analyze the transcriptome of three different diabetic mouse models Glomerular RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays.

Project description:Purpose. Patients with diabetic retinopathy may experience severe vision loss due to macular edema and neovascularization secondary to vascular abnormalities. However, before these abnormalities become apparent, there are functional deficits in contrast sensitivity, color perception, and dark adaptation. The goals of this study are to evaluate early changes (up to 3 months) in retinal gene expression, selected visual cycle proteins, and optokinetic tracking (OKT) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Methods. Retinal gene expression in diabetic Long Evans rats was measured by whole genome microarray 7 days, 4 weeks, and three months after onset of hyperglycemia. Select gene and protein changes were probed by PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively, and OKT thresholds were measured using a virtual optokinetics system. Results. Microarray analysis showed that the most consistently affected molecular and cellular functions were cell-to-cell signaling and interaction, cell death, cellular growth and proliferation, molecular transport, and cellular movement. Further analysis revealed reduced expression of several genes encoding visual cycle proteins including lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT), retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-specific protein 65kDa (RPE65) and RPE retinal G protein coupled receptor (RGR). Immunohistochemistry revealed a decrease in RPE65 in the RPE layer of diabetic rats. These molecular changes occurred simultaneously with a decrease in OKT thresholds by 4 weeks of diabetes. Conclusions. The data presented here are further evidence that inner retinal cells are affected by hyperglycemia prior to vasculopathy suggesting that glial and neuronal dysfunction may underlie some of the early visual deficits in diabetics. At each of the three timepoints (day 7, day 28, and day 84) one retina each from three diabetic rats were pooled for analysis on a single microarray chip. Three independent experiments were conducted for each group (n=9 animals/group). Each timepoint contained a hyperglycemic (STZ) and a control (buffer injection only) group. Additionally, on day 7 gene changes in the retina of rats which received a single injection of STZ, but did not develop hyperglycemia (STZ-non-c) were analyzed.

Project description:There has been an incresing body of epidemiologic and biochemical evidence implying the role of cerebral insulin resistance in Alzheimer-type dementia. For a better understanding of the insulin effect on the central nervous system we performed microarray-based gene expression profiling in the hippocampus, striatum and prefrontal cortex of streptozotocin-induced and spontaneously diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats as model animals for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively. Following pathway analysis and validation of gene lists by RT-PCR, 30 genes from hippocampus, such as the inhibitory neuropeptide galanin, synuclein gamma and uncoupling protein 2, and 22 genes from the prefrontal cortex, e.g. galanin receptor 2, protein kinase gamma and epsilon, ABCA1, CD47 and the RET protooncogene, were found to exhibit altered expression levels in type 2 diabetic model animals in comparison to non-diabetic control animals. These gene lists proved to be partly overlapping and encompassed genes related to neurotransmission, lipidmetabolism, neuronal development, insulin secretion, oxidative damage and DNA repair. On the other hand, no significant alterations were found in the transcriptomes of the corpus sriatum in the same animals. Changes in the cerebral gene expression profiles seemed to be specific for the type 2 diabetic model, as no such alterations were found in streptozotocin-treated animals. According to our knowledge this is the first characterization of the whole-genome expression changes of specific brain regions in a diabetic model. Our findings shed light on the complex role of insulin signaling in fine-tuning brain functions, and provide further experimental evidence in support of the recently elaborated theory of type 3diabetes. Experiments were performed with 9 animals from each group. Wistar rats (control), streptoztocin-treated Wistar rats (type 1 diabetes) and Goto-Kakizaki rats (type 2 diabetes). The brain was removed and the striatum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were dissected. Samples from 3-3 identically treated animals were pooled. That means, 3 biological parallels were prepared from each brain region of type 1 or type 2 diabetic and control animals, amounting to a total of 27 different pooled samples.

Project description:Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in diabetic patients. Emerging evidence suggests that retinal neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, but the underlying causes of neuronal loss are unknown. To unravel potential mechanisms underlying early retinal neurodegeneration in diabetic retinopathy, a gene expression profiling study was undertaken to compare the gene expression in retinas of 8-week db/db diabetic mice with that of lean non-diabetic littermates. Retinas were obtained from 8-week db/db diabetic mice and age-matched lean non-diabetic controls. Total RNA was extracted and processed for being hybridized onto affymetrix DNA microarrays.

Project description:Maternal diabetes causes cardiac malformations in fetuses. In this study, we have analyzed the differential gene expression profiling in the developing heart of embryos from diabetic and control mice by using the oligonucleotide microarray. Expression patterns of genes and proteins that are differentially expressed in the developing heart were further examined by the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Embryos of diabetic pregnancies displayed cardiac malformations. Microarray analysis revealed the genes that were altered in expression level in the developing heart of embryos from diabetic mice when compared to controls. It is concluded that altered expression of a variety of genes involved in heart development is associated with cardiac malformations in offsprings of diabetic mother. We used microarrays to identify the genes specific to the developing heart of embryos from control and diabetic mice RNA was isolated from heart tissue of control and diabetes exposed E13.5 and E15.5 mouse embryos (three samples each). The RNA was hybridised onto Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.

Project description:Limbal stem cells including epithelial and stromal/Mesenchymal stem cells that contribute to sustained corneal homeostasis, maintain their ability to act as self-renewal progenitor cells by virtue of their limbal niche and intercellular communication. Extracellular vehicles (EVs), including exosomes (Exos), are important paracrine mediators through their cargo transfer for intercellular communication in various stem cell niches. Previously we have shown the differential cargos and regulatory roles of limbal stromal cell (LSC)-derived Exos, in limbal epithelial cells (LEC) in normal (N) and diabetic (DM) limbal niche. In the present study, to have a comprehensive knowledge of reciprocal LEC-LSC crosstalk, we investigated the proteomics and miRNA profile of exosomes derived from LEC and their regulatory roles in LSC in N and DM limbus. Our study showed wound healing and proliferation rates in primary N-LSC were significantly enhanced upon treatment by normal LEC-derived Exos (N-Exos), but not by diabetic Exos (DM-Exos). Further, N-Exos treated LSC showed downregulation of keratocyte markers, ALDH3A1 and lumican, but not keratocan, and upregulation of MSC markers, CD105, CD90, and CD73 compared to the DM-Exos treated LSC. Using next generation sequencing (NGS) and proteomics analysis, we revealed some miRNAs and proteins in the Exos that affect the cellular crosstalk and the function of the cornea. We also documented differences in DM vs. normal LEC-derived Exo’s cargos. Overall, DM-Exos have less effect on LSC proliferation, wound healing, and stem cell maintenance than N-Exos, likely by transferring their cargo proteins and/or regulatory miRNAs targeting cell cycle, ERK/MAPK, TGF-β, EMT, PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling molecules. This suggests that the small RNA and protein cargo differences in DM vs. N LEC-derived Exos could contribute to the disease state. Our study revealed a complex contribution of Exos to health and diabetic state of corneal homeostasis and suggests the potential of EV therapeutics for diabetic cornea regenerative medicine

Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disorder that disrupts the body from shifting glucose into the cells resulting in hyperglycaemia (1). Insulin dependence or DM that resembles type I diabetes in humans is commonly observed in dogs (2). Canine DM diagnosis is based on fasting hyperglycaemia and glucosuria with clinical presentation of polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss (2). Its treatment goal is blood glucose control, which can be accomplished through insulin therapy, dietary modification and control of concurrent disorders (3). The major complications of DM include diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy and atherosclerosis induced by chronic hyperglycaemia via several pathways (4). The proposed unifying mechanism that mediates the tissue-damaging effects of hyperglycaemia is superoxide overproduction (5). Effective monitoring is required for DM treatment to reduce the risk of progression and complication. Hence, the identification of novel biomarkers is being researched (6, 7). Proteomics has been recognised as an important tool for establishing a diagnosis of disease aetiology and monitoring therapy outcomes (8, 9). Proteomic patterns were applied to detect diabetes and complications, as well as to evaluate treatment effectiveness in humans (10-12). There is limited information on proteomic data in DM dogs (13-15). In a proteomic analysis of serum samples from DM dogs, most upregulated proteins are involved in oxidative state, defence and inflammation (13). Medicinal plants are utilised in DM dogs as an adjunct medicine in combination with standard treatment to prevent the development of long-term diabetes complications and improve overall well-being. Curcumin, the most phytochemically active curcuminoid extracted from Curcuma longa, has gained attention in human and laboratory animals. Curcumin is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties (16-18). In humans and experimental animals with DM, curcumin has an antioxidant potential of enhanced reduced glutathione (GSH) and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (19, 20). The anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin in DM were reported via decreased interleukin-1β (IL‐1β), interleukin-6 (IL‐6), interleukin-8 (IL‐8) and tumour necrosis factor-α levels and also diminished monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and C-reactive protein levels (19-21). There has been no published evidence of the impact, safety and proteomic profiles of curcuminoids, particularly curcumin, in client-own DM dogs. Accordingly, the aims of the present study were (1) to evaluate the effects of curcuminoid supplementation on canine DM-associated oxidative stress and inflammation, (2) to determine the safety of curcuminoid supplementation in canine diabetes and (3) to determine whether curcuminoid has an impact on proteins implicated in DM-associated complications by a proteomic analysis.
