Project description:Astronauts have been previously shown to exhibit decreased salivary lysozyme and increased dental calculus and gingival inflammation in response to space flight, host factors that could contribute to oral diseases such as caries and periodontitis. However, the specific physiological response of caries-causing bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans to space flight and/or ground-based simulated microgravity has not been extensively investigated. In this study, High Aspect Ratio Vessel (HARV) S. mutans simulated microgravity and normal gravity cultures were assessed for changes in metabolite and transcriptome profiles, H2O2 resistance, and competence in sucrose-containing biofilm media. Stationary phase S. mutans simulated microgravity cultures displayed increased killing by H2O2 compared to normal gravity control cultures, but competence was not affected. RNA-seq analysis revealed that expression of 153 genes was up-regulated ≥ 2-fold and 94 genes down-regulated ≥ 2-fold during simulated microgravity HARV growth. These included a number of genes located on extrachromosomal elements, as well as genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, translation, and stress responses. Collectively, these results suggest that growth under microgravity analog conditions promotes changes in S. mutans gene expression and physiology that may translate to an altered cariogenic potential of this organism during space flight missions.

Project description:Identification of gravisensitive miRNAs expression in rat soleus muscle exposed to 7 and 14 days of Hindlimb suspension (HS) simulated microgravity. Microgravity causes muscle atrophy possibly due to muscle wasting overtake regeneration. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle atrophy. The expression of 23 out of 174 miRNAs was found to change at least 2-fold of 7 and/or 14 days of TS. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes.

Project description:To reveal the potential mechanisms involved in the dysfunction of antiviral immune responses under simulated microgravity conditions, we investigated the transcriptional changes related to the status of innate immune responses by RNA-seq with poly I:C or mock PBS treatment under Normal gravity or simulated microgravity conditions. Our results indicate that the retinoic acid inducible gene (RIG)-I-like receptor (RLR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signal pathways, which are both involved in the type-I interferon induction, are significantly inhibited by simulated microgravity effects.

Project description:Exposure to microgravity causes bone loss in humans, and the underlying mechanism is believed to be at least partially due to a decrease in bone formation by osteoblasts. Here, we examined the hypothesis that microgravity changes osteoblast gene expression profiles, resulting in bone loss. For this study, we developed an in vitro system that simulates microgravity using the Random Positioning Machine (RPM) to study the effects of microgravity on 2T3 pre-osteoblast cells grown in gas-permeable culture disks. Exposure of 2T3 cells to simulated microgravity using RPM for up to 9 days significantly inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity, recapitulating an expected bone loss response, without altering cell proliferation and shape. Next, we carried out a DNA microarray analysis to determine the gene expression profile of 2T3 cells exposed to 3 days of simulated microgravity. Among 10,000 genes examined with the microarray, 88 were downregulated while 52 were upregulated significantly by simulated microgravity by more than two-fold in comparison to the static 1g condition. By using real-time PCR assays, we verified the microarray data using some of the expected genes. For example, we confirmed that microgravity induced downregulation of alkaline phosphatase, runt related transcription factor 2 (runx2), osteomodulin, and parathyroid hormone 1 receptor, while confirming upregulation of cathepsin K mRNAs. In addition to the changes of the expected genes, the microarray data identified many more genes. The identification of these gravisensitive genes provide an useful insight in generating further hypotheses regarding their roles not only in microgravity-induced bone loss, but also in general population of patients with similar pathologic conditions such as osteoporosis.
