Project description:The effect of resection of mouse livers on survival serve as a model for the effect of resection of human livers, which are performed for both the purposes of removing sick tissue and for transplanting healthy tissue. When less than 70% of a mouse liver is resected, the mouse usually lives. However, when more than 70% is resected, there is an increased probability that the mouse will die. We have found that deletion of Ager (Advanced Glycation End products receptor) (Rage) increases the chance of mouse survival relavtive to WT. Conversely, the deletion of Myd88 decreases the chances of survival, as does the simultaneous deletion of both Ager and Myd88. To understand these genotype/phenotype relations, we performed gene expression measurements. Gene expression of livers of WT C57BL/6 mice, Ager-null C57BL/6 mice, Myd88-null C57BL/6 mice, and Ager-null/Myd88-null C57BL/6 mice, all 10-12 weeks-old and sacrificed 2 hours after 85% liver resection, were compared. 4-6 replicates each group.

Project description:The multi-ligand Receptor for AGE (RAGE) contributes to atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein (ApoE) null mice in both the non-diabetic and diabetic states. Previous studies using soluble RAGE, the extracellular ligand-binding domain of RAGE, or homozygous RAGE null mice showed that blockade or deletion of RAGE resulted in marked reduction in atherosclerotic lesion area and complexity compared to control animals. In parallel, significant down-regulation of inflammatory mediators and matrix metalloproteinases was evident in ApoE null mice aortas devoid of RAGE compared to those of ApoE null RAGE-expressing mice. Although these findings suggested that RAGE triggered pro-atherogenic mechanisms via regulation of inflammatory gene expression, these studies did not reveal the broader pathways by which RAGE contributed to atherosclerosis in ApoE null mice. Therefore, we performed Affymetrix gene expression arrays on aortas of non-diabetic and diabetic ApoE null mice expressing RAGE or devoid of RAGE at nine weeks of age, as this reflected a time point at which frank atherosclerotic lesions were not yet present, but, that we would be able to identify the genes likely involved in diabetes- and RAGE-dependent atherogenesis. The comparisons were as follows: 1. diabetic ApoE null relative to non-diabetic ApoE null; 2. non-diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null relative to non-diabetic ApoE null; 3. diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null relative to non-diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null; and 4. diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null relative to diabetic ApoE null aorta. Our data reveal that there is very little overlap of the genes which are differentially expressed both in the onset of diabetes in ApoE null mice, and in the effect of RAGE deletion in diabetic ApoE null mice. We next performed a Pathway-Express analysis to determine the pathways that were most associated with the onset of diabetes in ApoE null mice and the effect of RAGE gene deletion in diabetic ApoE null mice. Rigorous statistical analysis was undertaken and revealed that the transforming growth factor-beta pathway (tgf-beta) and focal adhesion pathways might be expected to play a significant role in both the mechanism by which diabetes facilitates the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE null mice, and the mechanism by which deletion of RAGE ameliorates this effect. We focused on three genes of the tgf-betafamily which were found to be up-regulated in diabetic vs. non-diabetic ApoE null aorta, and which were reduced by deletion of RAGE. These included: thrombospondin1 (Thbs1), transforming growth factor-beta (tgf-beta) and rho-associated kinase (ROCK1). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting experiments were performed, as well as ROCK1 activity assays in mouse aorta, and validated the findings of the Affymetrix gene array. Further, confocal microscopy revealed that a principal cell type in the ApoE null aorta expressing these factors was the vascular smooth muscle cell. Our data suggest the novel finding that the observed reduction of accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null vs. diabetic ApoE null mice occurs, all or in part, through the ROCK1 branch of the TGF-betapathway. We have inferred a detailed mechanism for this process. Taken together, these data suggest that suppression of ROCK1 activity in the atherosclerosis-vulnerable vessel wall, especially in diabetes, but in non-diabetes as well, may underlie the beneficial effects of RAGE antagonism and genetic deletion in murine models. These findings highlight logical and novel targets for therapeutic intervention in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. 1. diabetic ApoE null relative to non-diabetic ApoE null; 2. non-diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null relative to non-diabetic ApoE null; 3. diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null relative to non-diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null; and 4. diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null relative to diabetic ApoE null aorta. There were 4 mice in each group initially. However there are only 3 non-diabetic ApoE null / RAGE null mice in the final experimental sample in group 3 due to a failure to generate cRNA from that sample. All samples were normalized to remove chip-dependent regularities using the RMA method. Chips and controls at each combination of genotype and disease sate were normalized together. The statistical significance of differential expression was calculated using the empirical Bayesian LIMMA (LInear Model for MicroArrays) method A cut-off B>0 was used for the statistical significance of gene expression.

Project description:We have carried out a systems biology investigation of regulators controlling arterial plaque macrophage transcriptional changes in response to lipid lowering, in the Reversa mouse model of plaque regression in which poly I:C injections induce recombination-mediated inactivation of Mttp in the liver and (when combined with a switch to chow diet) restore normal lipid levels in an Ldlr-/-Apob100/100 mouse (Lieu et al., 2003, Circulation, v.107(9), pp.1315-21). Twenty-four Reversa mice (12 males, 12 females) were maintained on Western diet for 16 weeks and given injections of either poly I:C or vehicle (saline) and then switched to normal chow. At seven days after the last injection, animals were sacrificed and CD68+ macrophages were isolated from the aortic root plaque using laser-capture microdissection. An additional two Ldlr-/- animals (male) were treated with poly I:C and CD68+ aortic root plaque macrophages were obtained, as a control group for effects of poly I:C independent of Mttp inactivation. RNA isolated from each of the 26 samples was reverse-transcribed, amplified, fragmented, labeled, and then hybridized to the Affymetrix Mouse Exon Array 1.0 ST GeneChip. Probe intensities were analyzed using transcript-level probesets for gene expression profiling, and for each mouse transcript represented on the microarray, a two-factor model (sex and treatment) was used for the analysis of the 24 samples from the Reversa mice, to test for a significant effect of the poly I:C (vs. saline) treatment.

Project description:By investigating the germinal center (GC) formation in STAT6ko/WT bone marrow-mixed chimera we found that GC formation in type 2 immune responses is dependent on B cell intrinsic expression of IL-4/IL-13-induced genes. We therefore used microarrays to find Stat6 dependent genes that are important for germinal center formation and/or organization after infection with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (N. brasiliensis). Bone marrow of STAT6ko (CD45.2+) and WT (CD45.1+) were mixed and injected in lethaly irradiated WT (CD45.1+) mice. After 8 weeks, 5 Bone marrow-mixed chimera were infected with N. brasiliensis and draining lymph nodes were collected at day 14 after the infection and pooled. RNA was isolated from sort-purified CD45.1+ or CD45.2+ GC B cells (B220+CD38loGL-7hi).

Project description:Burgeoning evidence highlights seminal roles for microglia in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) binds ligands relevant to ALS that accumulate in the diseased spinal cord and RAGE has been previously implicated in the progression of ALS pathology. We generated a novel mouse model to temporally delete Ager from microglia in the murine SOD1G93A model of ALS. Microglia Ager deficient SOD1G93A mice and controls were examined for changes in survival, motor function, gliosis, motor neuron numbers, and transcriptomic analyses of lumbar spinal cord. Furthermore, we examined bulk-RNA-sequencing transcriptomic analyses of human ALS cervical spinal cord. Transcriptomic analysis of human cervical spinal cord reveals a range of AGER expression in ALS patients, which was negatively correlated with age at disease onset and death or tracheostomy. The degree of AGER expression related to differential expression of pathways involved in extracellular matrix, lipid metabolism, and intercellular communication. Microglia display increased RAGE immunoreactivity in the spinal cords of high AGER expressing patients and in the SOD1G93A murine model of ALS vs. respective controls. We demonstrate that microglia Ager deletion at the age of symptomatic onset, day 90, in SOD1G93A mice extends survival in male but not female mice. Critically, many of the pathways identified in human ALS patients that accompanied increased AGER expression were significantly ameliorated by microglia Ager deletion in male SOD1G93A mice. Our results indicate that microglia RAGE disrupts communications with cell types including astrocytes and neurons, intercellular communication pathways that divert microglia from a homeostatic to an inflammatory and tissue-injurious program. In totality, microglia RAGE contributes to the progression of SOD1G93A murine pathology in male mice and may be relevant in human disease.

Project description:Tissue-resident macrophages can derive from yolk sac macrophages, fetal liver monocytes or adult bone marrow monocytes. Whether these precursors can give rise to transcriptionally identical alveolar macrophages is unknown. Here, we transferred traceable yolk sac macrophages, fetal liver monocytes, adult bone marrow monocytes or adult alveolar macrophages as a control, into the empty alveolar macrophage niche of neonatal Csf2rb-/- mice. All precursors efficiently colonized the alveolar niche and generated alveolar macrophages that were transcriptionally almost identical, with only 22 genes that could be linked to their origin. Underlining the physiological relevance of our findings, all transfer-derived alveolar macrophages self-maintained within the lungs for up to 1 year and durably prevented alveolar proteinosis. Thus, precursor origin does not affect the development of functional self-maintaining tissue-resident macrophages. CD45.1+CD45.2+ yolk sac macrophages, fetal liver monocytes, adult bone marrow monocytes or adult alveolar macrophages from the bronchoalveolar lavage were sorted from wild type CD45.1+CD45.2+ mice of indicated ages. From part of these samples RNA was isolated. The other part was transferred intranasally into the lungs of neonate Csf2rb-/- mice. 6 weeks post-transfer, transfer-derived CD45.1+CD45.2+ alveolar macrophages were sorted from the bronchoalveolar lavage. Wild type CD45.1+CD45.2 alveolar macrophages from the bronchoalveolar lavage of 6 week old mice were sorted as control. 36 samples (arrays) in total. RNA was isolated, amplified with Nugene pico kit, converted to cDNA and then hybridised on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.
