Expression profiling of Hyperoxia-Tolerant Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT: One of the critical substances that mammals highly regulate via the respiratory, cardiovascular and neurologic systems is O2. Both low and high O2 levels can induce major morbidities as well as mortality. Indeed, O2 has been often considered as both an elixir and a poison in humans. In current study, we have used an experimental selection approach to generate Drosophila strains that are tolerant to severe hyperoxic environment. Gene expression profiling is then applied to investigate the mechanisms underlying hyperoxia tolerance in the newly generated strains.

Project description:Background. In experimental setting the concept of myocardial preconditioning-by hyperoxia has been introduced and different intracellular protective mechanisms and their effects have been described. To study whether similar protective phenotype can be induced by hyperoxia also in humans, gene expression profile after hyperoxic exposure was analyzed. Methods and Findings. Adult patients were randomized to be ventilated with either FiO2 0.4 (n=14) or 1.0 (n=10) for 60 minutes before coronary artery bypass grafting. A tissue sample from the right atrial appendage was taken for gene analysis and expression profile analysis on genome wide level by gene chip analysis was applied. Exposure to > 96% oxygen for 60 minutes significantly changed the expression of 20 different genes, including upregulation of two different humanins - MTRNR2L2 and MTRNR2L8, and activated a “cell survival” network as detected by Ingenuity Pathway Analyses. Conclusions. Administration of > 96% oxygen for 1 hour changes gene expression in the myocardium of the patients with coronary artery disease and may enhance cell survival capability. Background.
