Project description:Beneficial effects of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 FAs) are generally well-known from epidemiological studies, but the various mechanisms of action are not completely clarified. Regulation of gene expression is one known mechanism of action, but only very limited data of regulated pathways in humans after n-3 FA supplementation are available. Up to now, no studies compared gene expression changes after n-3 FA supplementation between normolipidemic and dyslipidemic subjects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of n-3 FA administration on whole genome expression profiles in the blood of normo- and dyslipidemic subjects. We conducted an intervention study with normo- and dyslipidemic men aged between 29 and 51 years, which were subdivided into four groups with a balanced age distribution and randomized to either six fish oil capsules per day providing 1.5 g docosahexaenoic acid and 1.0 g eicosapentaenoic acid or corn oil capsules rich in linoleic acid per day for a period of 12 weeks. Venous blood samples were collected at baseline as well as after 4 hours, 1 week and 12 weeks of supplementation. For each investigation time point, the samples of each group were pooled together to minimize inter-individual variability. All subjects have successfully completed the study, but for the microarray experiments, nine subject samples were excluded. Therefore, the microarray experiments are based on the following group characteristics: normolipidemic fish oil group (FO-N): pool of nine RNAs from normolipidemic subjects supplemented with fish oil; normolipidemic corn oil group (CO-N): pool of six RNAs from normolipidemic subjects supplemented with corn oil; dyslipidemic corn oil group (CO-D): pool of eight RNAs from dyslipidemic subjects supplemented with corn oil; dyslipidemic fish oil group (FO-D): pool of nine RNAs from dyslipidemic subjects supplemented with fish oil. The twenty normolipidemic and the twenty dyslipidemic subjects were subdivided into two groups. Thus, a total of four groups with ten men per group passed through the study. To realize a comparable mean age between groups, the formation of groups was performed by stratified allocation according to subject's age. The four study groups were randomly assigned to different study products by an uninvolved collaborator. Subjects ingested either six FO or six corn oil (CO) capsules per day for a period of twelve weeks. The daily n-3 PUFA intake via FO capsules was 2.7 g (1.14 g DHA and 1.56 g EPA). The predominant FA of the CO capsules was the omega-6 (n-6) PUFA linoleic acid (LA, 18:2n-6). Thus, the daily LA intake via CO capsules was 3.05 g LA. The subjects were instructed to ingest the capsules together with food, three in the morning and three in the evening, and to maintain their usual exercise and dietary habits throughout the intervention time. As an exception, at the first intervention day, all six capsules were ingested at the same time in the morning after a standardised breakfast. During each visit, fasting blood samples were collected by venepuncture. Additionally, participants completed a questionnaire to obtain information about changes in medication, dietary (e.g., changes in weekly fish intake, preferred fish dishes or species, respectively) and lifestyle habits (e.g., physical activity), as well as the tolerability of the capsules. This record summarizes the results of 16 microarrays. The samples originate from whole blood of normo- and dyslipidemic subjects supplemented with either fish oil or corn oil for 4 h, 1 week and 12 weeks. Microarrays were hybridized in a loop design with one common reference using a dye-swap approach.

Project description:Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol, influences cutaneous wound healing due to its anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. We previously showed EGCG is effective in improving skin scarring when applied immediately post-injury. Here, this double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial compared the effects of pre-emptive priming versus immediate and delayed topical EGCG compared with placebo. This was evaluated in 40 healthy human volunteers, over 8 weeks, in scars created in their upper inner arms using skin punch biopsies. Participants were split into 4 groups; each undergoing different modes of application versus placebo: Group 1=priming (7D) pre-injury, Group 2=priming (3D) pre-injury, Group 3=immediate (0D) day-of-injury, Group 4=delayed application (14D) post-injury. RNA sequencing was used here based on 72 samples: Group 1: day 0 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), week 4 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), week 8 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG); Group 2: day 0 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), week 4 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), week 8 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), Group 3: day 0 (n=6), week 4 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), week 8 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), Group 4: day 0 (n=6), week 4 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG), week 8 (n=3 placebo, n=3 EGCG). The common differentially expressed genes identified between treated (EGCG) and placebo samples were grouped according to time point and group. Further exploration of these genes using Gene Ontology and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed gene signatures of relevant biological processes and pathways. Here, RNA sequencing revealed a number of angiogenic, inflammatory genes that were significantly downregulated with EGCG particularly in pre-emptive priming Group 1 at week 4 including; hemoglobin subunit beta (HBB), hemoglobin subunit alpha-1 (HBA1) and hemoglobin subunit alpha-2 (HBA2) at week-4.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) profiles vary with the nutritional and pathological conditions of cattle. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of inulin supplement on miRNA profiles derived from serum extracellular vesicles (EVs). Our goal was to determine the differences in miRNA expressions and analyse the pathways in which they are involved. Based on the results of California mastitis test and milk somatic cell counts, ten lactating cows with subclinical mastitis were randomly divided into two groups: an inulin group and a control group (n = 5 in each group). The inulin group received a daily supplement of 300 g of inulin while the control group did not receive any supplementation. After a 5-week treatment period, serum-derived EV-miRNAs from each cow were isolated. High-throughput sequencing was conducted to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. GO and KEGG bioinformatics analysis was performed to examine the target genes of these differentially expressed miRNAs. The EV-RNA concentration and small RNA content were not affected by the inulin treatment. A total of 162 known miRNAs and 180 novel miRNAs were identified from 10 samples in the two groups. Among the known miRNAs, 23 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed between the two groups, with 18 upregulated and five downregulated in the inulin group compared to the control group. Pathway analysis revealed the involvement of these differentially expressed miRNAs in the regulation of cell structure and function, lipid oxidation and metabolism, immunity and inflammation, as well as digestion and absorption of nutrients. Overall, our study provides a molecular-level explanation for the reported beneficial health effects of inulin supplementation in cows with subclinical mastitis.

Project description:Samples were obtained as part of a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, phase IIb study to determine the effects of myo-inositol in smokers with bronchial dysplasia. Smokers with greater than 1 site of dysplasia identified by autofluorescence bronchoscopy-directed biopsy were randomly assigned to receive oral placebo or myo-inositol, 9 g once/day for two weeks and then twice/day for 6 months. Cytologically normal airway epithelial cells were obtained via bronchoscopy from the right or left mainstem bronchus at baseline and 6 months post-treatment with myo-inositol or placebo from 69 study participants (n=138 samples). The RNA from these samples was isolated and used to prepare libraries for mRNA sequencing. Subjects were classified by response according to their change in dysplasia rate after 6-months. Among subjects with a complete response in the myo-inositol arm, there was a significant decrease in a gene expression signature reflective of PI3K activation.
