Comparison of Bzrp ligands

ABSTRACT: This series compares the effects that two pharmacologically distinct ligands at the mitochondrial peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (Bzrp). PK11195 (4.0 mg/kg, a presumed antagonist) has no observable adverse effects in pregnant mice on either 8 days post-coitus (d.p.c.) or 9 d.p.c. Furthermore, PK11195 is shown to rescue mouse fetuses from microphthalmia or microphthalmia-microcephaly induced with 2CdA or MeHg, respectively; effects of PK11195 on EtOH-induced craniofacial malformations are not yet unkown. Ro5-4864 (4.0 mg/kg, a presumed agonist) is weakly teratogenic on 8 d.p.c. (effects on 9 d.p.c. unknown) and this Bzrp ligand does not rescue fetuses from malformations induced with either 2CdA or MeHg; effects of Ro5-4864 on EtOH-induced craniofacial malformations is unknown for either sensitive (C57BL/6J) or insensitive (C57BL/6N) strains. The 4.0 mg/kg dose of Bzrp ligands is consistent with pharmacological activity in several studies. Pregnant mice were exposed to these agents on 8 d.p.c. (2CdA, EtOH) or 9 d.p.c. (MeHg). The test dose of 2.5 mg/kg 2CdA was modeled for a 5% increased risk of microphthalmia in term fetuses. Full remediation with PK11195 anticipated. The test dose of 5.0 mg/kg MeHg gives an estimated 20% increased risk of microphthalmia-microcephaly (encephalopathy) in term fetuses. Partial remediation with PK11195 is anticipated to <10% malformations. Again the effects of PK11195 on EtOH teratogenicity is not yet known. The sampling time was chosen as the time of p53 protein induction (3.0h to 4.5h post-treatment). Whereas co-treatment with PK11195 suppresses embryonic p53 protein induction Ro5-4864 does not block this reaction. All measurements were on RNA from the embryonic headfold (8 d.p.c.) or prosencephalon (9 d.p.c.).

Project description:EXPERIMENT: Microarray expression profiles derived from the cranial neural folds (headfold) of neurulation-stage mouse embryos 3.0h after maternal alcohol exposure on 8 d.p.c. ANIMAL MODEL: Pregnancies from 2 substrains of C57BL/6 mice that differ in relative risk of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS): C57BL/6J (B6J) high-risk condition, and C57BL/6NCrl (B6N) low-risk condition. EXPOSURE: Dams dosed with ethanol (EtOH) by intraperitoneal injection at 2.9 g EtOH per kg body weight. Controls received vehicle (saline) alone. A third group of dams received EtOH + 4.0 mg/kg PK11195, a specific high-affinity ligand to the 18 KDa mitochondrial peripheral benzodiazepine receptor site. INTERVAL: High blood alcohol content must be sustained in dams for several hours to invoke FAS and is traditionally accomplished by a double injection of EtOH 4.0h apart. Since these embryos were harvested for genetic analysis 1h before dams would have gotten the second alcohol injection, the interval represents a snapshot of the critical response, prior to the second maternal injection that invokes greater risk. Counter-exposure to PK11195 significantly lowers the adverse response of B6J embryos to EtOH. PLATFORM: Two independent assays run. The first dataset (PE), run April 2002 – January 2003, used samples pooled from 2 litters (PE) and the platform was a two-channel MPS621 array (http://www.lifesciences.perkinelmer.com/). This platform has 4800 sequence-verified gene elements derived from over 50 different human cDNA libraries reflecting a variety of well-annotated cellular processes and disease pathways. The second dataset (AF), run between May 2005 – November 2005, used samples pooled from 1 litter and the platform was Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (http://www.affymetrix.com/). The MG430A 2.0 platform has 45,102 oligonucleotide probe cells representing approximately 14,000 well-characterized genes in the draft mouse genome assembly. The corresponding GEO samples are GSM12218 - GSM12227 for the two-channel PE arrays, and GSM136067 - GSM136078 for the one-channel AF arrays.
