Project description:Purpose: MicroRNA-21 contributes to the pathogenesis of fibrogenic diseases in multiple organs including the kidney. To evaluate the therapeutic utility of antimiR-21 oligonucleotides in chronic kidney disease, we silenced miR-21 in mice that develop Alport Nephropathy due to a defect in the Col4a3 gene. The goals of this study to assess the effect of inhibiting miR-21 in the Col4a3-/- Alport Syndrome mouse model at 5.5 weeks of age. Methods: Col4a3-/-, Col4a3+/-, and Col4a3+/+ mice in the 129X1/SvJ genetic background were obtained. Mice received anti–miR-21 (25 mg/kg) or control anti-miR (25mg/kg) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) by inter-scapular subcutaneous injection twice per week. In some experiments mice received a range of doses from 12.5mg/kg once a week to 50mg/kg once a week. Anti–miR-21 is a high-affinity oligonucleotide complementary to the active site of miR-21. Mice received injections starting at 24 days (3.5 weeks) after birth and ending at 5, 7, 9 or 16 weeks after birth depending on the study objectives. Total RNA from kidney tissue was extracted as per manufacturerâs instructions (miREASY kit, Qiagen). RNA quality was assessed using BioAnalyzer (Agilent). mRNA expression profiles were determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform producing 50bp paired-end reads. Bowtie/TopHat suites were used to align the reads to mouse genome or transcriptome and RSEM were used to quantify gene abundances. Gene level counts were then normalized with the R/Bioconductor package limma using the voom/variance stabilization method. Results: Anti-miR-21 enhanced PPARα/RXR activity and associated downstream signaling pathways in glomerular, tubular and interstitial cells, enhanced mitochondrial function, which reduced mitochondrial ROS production and preserved tubular cell functions. In addition, inhibition of miR-21 reduced fibrogenic and inflammatory signaling in glomerular and interstitial cells, likely as a consequence of enhanced PPARα/RXR activity and mitochondrial function. Inhibition of miR-21 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for chronic kidney diseases including Alport Nephropathy. Whole kidney mRNA profiles of Col4a3+/- (triplicate) and Col4a3-/- (quadruplicates) mice treated with either PBS or antimiR-21, ending at 5.5 weeks of age, were generated by Next Generation Sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000

Project description:Alterations in the tissue microenvironment collaborate with cell autonomous genetic changes to contribute to neoplastic progression. The importance of the microenvironment in neoplastic progression is underscored by studies demonstrating that fibroblasts isolated from a tumor stimulate the growth of preneoplastic and neoplastic cells in xenograft models. Similarly, senescent fibroblasts promote preneoplastic cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Because senescent cells accumulate with age, their presence is hypothesized to facilitate preneoplastic cell growth and tumor formation in older individuals. To identify senescent stromal factors directly responsible for stimulating preneoplastic cell growth, we carried out whole genome transcriptional profiling and compared senescent fibroblasts to their younger counterparts. We identified osteopontin (OPN) as one of the most highly elevated transcripts in senescent fibroblasts. Importantly, reduction of OPN protein levels by RNAi did not impact senescence induction in fibroblasts; however, it dramatically reduced the growth-promoting activities of senescent fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating that OPN is necessary for paracrine stimulation of preneoplastic cell growth. In addition, we found that recombinant OPN was sufficient to stimulate preneoplastic cell growth. Finally, we demonstrate that OPN is expressed in senescent stroma within preneoplastic lesions that arise following DMBA/TPA treatment of mice, suggesting that stromal-derived OPN-mediated signaling events impact neoplastic progression.

Project description:Gut microbiota is involved in metabolic disorders. However, microbiome-based therapeutic interventions are not always effective, which might be due to interference of the host factors. Here, we first identified a strong positive correlation between OPN levels and BMI in humans. Next, we confirmed that OPN could aggravate high-fat diet induced metabolic disorders in mice. Importantly, we found that fecal microbiota transplantation from OPN-deficient mice significantly alleviated metabolic disorders in WT mice. OPN directly induces remodeling of the gut microbiota both in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate that OPN could contribute to metabolic disorders by inducing an alteration of gut microbiota. OPN regulated the relative abundance of Lactobacillus by decreasing the adhesion of Lactobacillus to intestinal epithelial cells through Notch signaling pathway. These data identify OPN may serve as a potential pharmaceutical target for weight control and metabolic disorders treatment.

Project description:We define a pathogenic subset of microglia that is distinguished by expression of the CD11c protein and by production of osteopontin (OPN). OPN production by this CD11c+ microglial subset correlates positively with disease pathology and severity in the 5XFAD mouse model and in AD patients. Genetic ablation of OPN in 5XFAD mice leads to reduced development of pro-inflammatory CD11c+ microglia, increased amyloid beta (Aβ) phagocytosis and improved cognitive function.

Project description:Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted glycoprotein, belonging to the non-structural extracellular matrix (ECM), and its over expression in human prostate cancer cells has been associated with disease progression, androgen independence and metastases. Nevertheless the pathophysiology of OPN in prostate tumorigenesis has never been studied. We crossed TRansgenic Adenocarcinoma of the Mouse Prostate (TRAMP) mice with OPN deficient (OPN-/-) mice and followed tumor onset and progression in these double mutants. Ultrasound examination detected the early onset of a spherical homogeneous tumor in about 60% of OPN-/- TRAMP mice that seldom occurs in parental TRAMP mice. Histology and immunohistochemistry characterized these tumors for being Tag positive but negative for AR, highly proliferative and endowed of neuroendocrine (NE) features. Gene expression profiling showed up-regulation of genes involved in tumor progression, cell cycle and neuronal differentiation in OPN-deficient versus -sufficient TRAMP tumors. Down-regulated genes included key genes of TGFï?¢ pathway, and a role for TGFï?¢ in NE differentiation of prostate cancer was also confirmed at the protein level. Furthermore, NE genes and particularly those characterizing early prostatic lesions of OPN-deficient mice were found to correlate with those of human NE tumours. These data underscore a novel role of OPN at early stages of prostate cancer growth, protecting against the development of aggressive NE tumors. Total RNA obtained from prostate tumors from 18 and 30 weeks old TRAMP mice, compared to RNA extracted from prostate tumors and prostate tissue from Osteopontin-deleted TRAMP mice

Project description:MED1/TRAP220, a subunit of the transcriptional Mediator/TRAP complex, is crucial for various biological events through its interaction with distinct activators such as nuclear receptors and GATA family activators. In hematopoiesis, MED1 plays a pivotal role in optimal nuclear receptor-mediated myelomonopoiesis and GATA-1-induced erythropoiesis. In this study, we present evidence that MED1 in stromal cells is involved in supporting hematopoietic stem and/or progenitor cells (HSPCs) through osteopontin (OPN) expression. We found that the proliferation of bone marrow (BM) cells cocultured with MED1 knockout (Med1-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) was significantly suppressed when compared to the control. Furthermore, the number of long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-ICs) was attenuated for BM cells cocultured with Med1-/- MEFs. The vitamin D receptor (VDR)- and Runx2-mediated expression of OPN, as well as Mediator recruitment to the Opn promoter, was specifically attenuated in the Med1-/- MEFs. Addition of OPN to these MEFs restored the growth of cocultured BM cells and the number of LTC-ICs, both of which were attenuated by the addition of the anti-OPN antibody to Med1+/+ MEFs and to BM stromal cells. Consequently, MED1 in niche appears to play an important role in supporting HSPCs, by upregulating VDR- and Runx2-mediated transcription on the Opn promoter. Total RNAs of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from Med1-/-/p53-/- and Med1+/+/p53-/- E10.0 embryos were compared. Duplicate samples for each MEF type were analyzed.
