Tissue-specific alteration of gene expression and function by RU486 and the GeneSwitch system

ABSTRACT: The drug-inducible GeneSwitch (GS)-Gal4 transgene expression system is routinely used in Drosophila aging and behavioral studies to avoid the confounding effects related to genetic background mutations. Here, we report transcriptional and functional defects that are induced by RU486 in a stock- and tissue-dependent manner, such as defects in flight and mitochondrial gene expression. Our findings indicate that side effects induced by RU486 need to be considered when interpreting the observed phenotypes, and proper controls, consisting of ethanol-treated GS-Gal4 flies and RU486-induced expression of mock transgenes, should always be included

Transcriptional profiling of adult wild-type IFM and leg muslce in comparison to salm RNAi IFM.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling comparing adult wild-type indirect flight muscle (IFM) with wild-type leg muscle and salm RNAi IFM (Mef2-GAL4, UASsalmIR). We used 2 different salm hairpin constructs for the experiments, TF3029 and TF101052, both available from the VDRC Drosophila stock centre.

Gene Profile of RU486 effect on LPS induced gene expression in CNS.

Project description:The study was designed in order to identify genes differentially expressed when glucocorticoid signaling is blocked by a glucocorticoid-receptor antagonist (RU486 – mifepristone) in the context of brain inflammation induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS is only able to cause murine brain damage in our experimental conditions upon RU486 pre-treatment. Hence, the study may reveal potential candidate genes to mediate neuroprotection or neurotoxicity. Due to the factorial design of the experiment, RU486 main-effect could be dissociated from the effects resultant of RU486/inflammation interaction. In addition, brain dissection was conducted to verify the effects in the brain side ipsilateral or contralateral to the site of intracerebral LPS infusion. Keywords: Brain, CNS, LPS, Glucocorticoid, RU486, Mifrespitone, Innate immune response, Inflammation, Affymetrix, Gene profile, Neuroprotection, Neurodegeneration, Factorial design.

Expression data from RU486 treated FVB wild-type and MMTV- PAX8PPARg mouse mammary tumors

Project description:To determine if RU-486 would be effective as a chemopreventive agent, microarrays were used to analyse global gene expression changes in wild-type vs. MMTV-PAX8PPARg mice to determine their differential response to RU486 RNA was isolated (RNeasy Mini Kit, Qiagen) from progestin/DMBA induced mammary tumors from wi transgenic and wild-type mice treated with placebo or 2.5mg RU486 60-day release pellets

Altered Gene Expression Profile in Ovarian Follicle in Rats Treated with Indomethacin and RU486

Project description:It is well-known that indomethacin (the cyclooxygenase 1 & 2 inhibitor) and RU486 (or mifepristone, the progesterone receptor antagonist) block follicular rupture in rats. To characterize genetic alterations in unruptured follicles, gene expression profiles in ovarian follicle were analyzed in indomethacin- and RU486-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ovaries are collected at 22:00 on the proestrus day and 10:00 on the following estrus day after a single dose of indomethacin and RU486. Histopathologically, changes depicting responses to LH surge were observed in ovaries, uteri and vagina. Total RNA was extracted from pre-ovulatory follicles or unruptured follicles collected by laser microdissection and analyzed by GeneChip. Among genes showing statistically significant changes compared to control groups, following changes were considered relevant to induction of unruptured follicles. In indomethacin-treated rats, Wnt4 was down-regulated, suggesting effect on tissue integrity and steroid genesis. In RU486-treated rats, Adamts1, Adamts9, Edn2, Ednra, Lyve1, Plat, and Pparg were down-regulated. These changes suggest effects on proteolysis for extracellular matrix or surrounding tissue (Adamts1 & 9, and Plat), constriction of smooth muscle surrounding follicles (Edn2, Ednra, and Pparg), follicular fluid (Lyve1), and angiogenesis (Pparg). Down-regulation of angiogenesis related genes (Angpt2, Hmox1, and Vegfa) was observed in both treatment groups. Here, we clarify genetic alterations induced by the inhibition of cyclooxygenase or progesterone receptor.

Intestinal Fork Head Regulates Nutrient Absorption and Promotes Longevity

Project description:We identified that Drosophila FoxA transcription Fork Head (FKH) function is necessary for reduced insulin signalling and rapamycin induced longevity. Furthermore, we determined that FKH function in the gut tissue alone is sufficient to extend lifespan. We carried out RNA-sequencing in gut tissue on controls (daGS;InRDN>GFP- RNAi) and reduced insulin signalling background upon control RNAi (daGS;InRDN>GFPRNAi +RU486) and upon FKH RNAi (daGS;InRDN>FKH- RNAi +RU486). InR-DN stock used: K1409A.

Expression data from H295R_GRÎ± cells following treatment with dexamethasone or RU486

Project description:The human glucocorticoid receptor (GRÎ±) is overexpressed at the molecular and protein level in malignant human adrenocortical cancers. A stable cell line model of GRÎ± overexpression was established using the H295R human adrenocortical cancer cell line. The following results were obtained from gene expression profiling of H295R_GRÎ± and H295R_Control (empty vector) cells following treatment with either a GRÎ± agonist (dexamethasone), GRÎ± antagonist (RU486) or vehicle (ethanol) control. H295R_GRÎ± and H295R_Control (empty vector) cells were treated in triplicate for 6 hours with dexamethasone 100 nM, RU486 100 nM or vehicle (ethanol) control.
