Project description:TNF time course series of HelA tet off cells cultured in presence or absence of Dox TNF is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that controls expression of inflammatory genetic networks. Although the Nuclear Factor-kB (NF-kB) pathway is crucial for mediating cellular TNF responses, the complete spectrum of NF-kB dependent genes is unknown. In this study, we used a tetracycline-regulated cell line expressing an NF-kB inhibitor to systematically identify NF-kB dependent genes. A microarray data set generated from a time course of TNF stimulation in the presence or absence of NF-kB signaling was analyzed. Methods: Cell culture, treatment and transfection-The human cervical epithelioid carcinoma cell line HeLa expressing tTA (HeLa Tet-Off) pBI-EGFP- IkBa Mut was constructed earlier (23). HeLa Tet-Off were grown in medium containing 90 % Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM), 10 % heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 4mM L-glutamine, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 mg/ml G418, 100 units /ml penicillin G sodium, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % CO2. For TNF stimulation, freshly isolated cells were split into two cultures, one group maintained in Dox, the other without for 7 d, a time at which IkBa Mut expression was maximal. Thereafter, recombinant human (rh) TNFa (25 ng/ml, final concentration) was added directly to the culture medium for indicated times prior to harvest. Oligonucleotide probe based microarray-Hu95Av2 GeneChip (Affymetrix Inc, Santa Clara, CA) containing 12,626 sequenced human genes were hybridized according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and washed using both non-stringent (1 M NaCl, 25 °C) and stringent (1 M NaCl, 50 °C) conditions prior to staining with phycoerythrin streptavidin (10 mg/ml final). Arrays were scanned using a Gene Array Scanner (Hewlett Packard) and analyzed using the Gene Chip Analysis Suite 5 software (Affymetrix Inc). For each gene, 16-20 probe pairs are immobilized as ~25-mer oligonucleotides that hybridize throughout the mRNA; each probe pair is represented as a perfect match (PM) oligonucleotide and a mismatch (MM) oligonucleotide as hybridization control. The the Absolute Call [e.g., the gene is detected (“present”) or not (“absent”)] and the Signal Intensity (measure of mRNA abundance) is determined. Four independent experiments were performed identically including control (0 h ), 1, 3 and 6 h TNF stimulation (25 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of Doxycyline (2 mg/ml) in growth medium. These are indicated as 180, 181, 220 and 266 series, and are considered replicates of each other. Keywords: time-course

Project description:As a response to insect attack, maize (Zea mays) has inducible defenses that involve large changes in gene expression and metabolism. Piercing/sucking insects such as corn leaf aphids (Rhopalosiphum maidis) cause direct damage by acquiring phloem nutrients as well as indirect damage through the transmission of plant viruses. To elucidate the metabolic processes and gene expression changes involved in maize responses to aphid attack, leaves of inbred line B73 were infested with R. maidis for two to 96 hours.

Project description:We recruited ten normal-weight healthy men using inclusion criteria as previously described (Collet et al 2017). All males were healthy and not obese or overweight (average age: 23.8 years, average BMI (kg/m2): 23.3). Participants at baseline consumed a balanced diet (50% carbohydrate, 30% fat, and 20% protein). During caloric restriction, volunteers consumed 10% of normal energy requirement (226 kcal/d) for two days, again balanced (50% carbohydrate, 30% fat, and 20% protein), with the same macronutrient composition. After caloric restriction, volunteers were offered three substantial ad libitum buffet meals per day (20 MJ = 4,777 kcal) and additional snacks (16 MJ = 3,821 kcal) between meals for 2 days. They were invited to eat freely until comfortably full; food consumption was covertly measured. We collected fasting plasma samples at 0800 AM at baseline, after CR and refeeding (RF).

Project description:Background: Diet is a major contributor to metabolic disease risk, but there is controversy as to whether increased incidences of diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease arise from consumption of saturated fats or free sugars. Our aims were to investigate whether a sub-set of TAGs were associated with hepatic steatosis and whether they arise from de novo lipogenesis (DNL) from the consumption of carbohydrates. </br></br> Results: We conducted direct infusion mass spectrometry of lipids in plasma to study the association between specific triacylglycerols (TAGs) and hepatic steatosis assessed by ultrasound and fatty liver index in volunteers from the UK-based Fenland Study (n=1507), and evaluated clustering of TAGs in the National Survey of Health and Development UK cohort (n=1701). TAGs formed 3 clusters, with those TAGs containing saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids with 16-18 carbons being specifically associated with hepatic steatosis. These TAGs were associated with higher consumption of carbohydrate and saturated fat, hepatic steatosis, and variations in the gene for protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 3b (PPP1R3B), which in part regulates glycogen synthesis. DNL was measured in hyperphagic ob/ob mice, mice on a Western diet (high in fat and free sugar) and in healthy humans using stable isotope techniques following high carbohydrate meals, demonstrating the rate of DNL correlates with increased synthesis of this cluster of TAGs. Furthermore, these TAGs were increased in plasma from patients with biopsy-confirmed steatosis. </br></br> Conclusion: A sub-set of TAGs are associated with hepatic steatosis, even when correcting for common confounding factors. We suggest that hepatic steatosis risk in Western populations is in part driven by increased DNL following carbohydrate rich meals. </br></br> The protocols and data of the murine study of de novo lipogenesis are included in the study MTBLS614. </br><br/> Linked Studies: <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS614' target='_blank'><span class='label label-success'>MTBLS614</span></a>
