Project description:Expression data from peritoneal biopsies of patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), patients undergoing first implantation of a peritoneal dialysis catheter (PD), and patients undergoing abdominal surgery for non-peritoneal conditions (controls) We used microarrays to determine the transcriptional profiles of peritoneal membrane in patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), patients undergoing first insertion of a peritoneal dialysis cathetier (PD), and uremic patients without history of PD or EPS, undergoing abdominal surgery for non-peritoneal problems (CON) Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a devastating complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), characterized by marked inflammation and severe fibrosis of the peritoneum, and associated with high morbidity and mortality. EPS can occur years after termination of PD and, in severe cases, leads to intestinal obstruction and ileus requiring surgical intervention. Despite ongoing research, the pathogenesis of EPS remains unclear. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of peritoneal tissue specimens from EPS patients, PD patients without EPS, and uremic patients without history of PD or EPS (Uremic). Unsupervised and supervised bioinformatics analysis revealed distinct transcriptional patterns that discriminated these three clinical groups. The analysis identified a signature of 219 genes expressed differentially in EPS as compared to PD and Uremic groups. Canonical pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes showed enrichment in several pathways, including antigen presentation, dendritic cell maturation, B cell development, chemokine signaling and humoral and cellular immunity (P value <0.05). Further interactive network analysis depicted effects of EPS-associated genes on networks linked to inflammation, immunological response, and cell proliferation. Gene expression changes were confirmed by qRT-PCR for a subset of the differentially expressed genes. EPS patient tissues exhibited elevated expression of genes encoding sulfatase1, thrombospondin 1, fibronectin 1 and alpha smooth muscle actin, among many others, while in EPS and PD tissues mRNAs encoding leptin and retinol-binding protein 4 were markedly down-regulated, compared to Uremic group patients. Immunolocalization of Collagen 1 alpha 1 revealed that Col1a1 protein was predominantly expressed in the submesothelial compact zone of EPS patient peritoneal samples, whereas PD patient peritoneal samples exhibited homogenous Col1a1 staining throughout the tissue samples. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is a distinct pathological process from the simple peritoneal fibrosis that accompanies all PD treatment. Total RNA was isolated from frozen peritoneal biopsy specimens obtained at time of surgery. RNA was hybridized to Affymetrix arrays, and analyzed. Select transcripts were subjected to validation by rt-pcr and by immunodetection.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) activates platelets through the action of adjacent sinusoidal cells. Activated platelets bind to tumor-associated endothelial cells and release growth factors that promote tumor progression. We hypothesized that tumor inhibitors encapsulated in platelets would function as drug carriers for tumor therapy. We propose a therapeutic strategy for HCC using autologous platelets encapsulating multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors in a rat chemically-induced HCC model. Sorafenib or lenvatinib was encapsulated in platelets isolated from tumor-bearing rats in vitro. The rats were divided into groups that received repeated intravenous injections (twice a week for 10 weeks) of the following materials: placebo, sorafenib (SOR), lenvatinib (LEN), autologous platelets, autologous platelets encapsulating sorafenib (SOR-PLT), and autologous platelets encapsulating lenvatinib (LEN-PLT). The therapeutic effect was then analyzed by ultrasonography (US) and histopathological analysis. Histopathological and US analysis demonstrated extensive tumor necrosis in the tumor tissue of SOR-PLT or LEN-PLT, but not in other experimental groups. By liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, more abundant sorafenib was detected in tumor tissues after SOR-PLT administration than in surrounding normal tissues, but no such difference in sorafenib level was observed with SOR administration. Therefore, the use of autologous platelets encapsulating drugs might be a novel therapeutic strategy for HCC. We investigated the effect of the drug encapsulation process on the degradation of resident mRNA inherited from megakaryocytes in platelets.

Project description:Bacterial infections and the concurrent inflammation have been associated with increased long-term cardiovascular (CV) risk. In patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD), bacterial peritonitis is a common occurrence, and each episode further increases late CV mortality risk. However, the underlying mechanism(s) remains to be elucidated before safe and efficient anti-inflammatory interventions can be developed. Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs) have been shown to contribute to the acute inflammatory response to infections, but a potential role for DAMPs in mediating long-term vascular inflammation and CV risk following infection resolution in PD, has not been investigated. We found that bacterial peritonitis in mice that resolved within 24h led to CV disease-promoting systemic and vascular immune-mediated inflammatory responses that were maintained up to 28 days. These included higher blood proportions of inflammatory leukocytes displaying increased adhesion molecule expression, higher plasma cytokines levels, and increased aortic inflammatory and atherosclerosis-associated gene expression. These effects were also observed in infected nephropathic mice and amplified in mice routinely exposed to PD fluids. A peritonitis episode resulted in elevated plasma levels of the DAMP Calprotectin, both in PD patients and mice, here the increase was maintained up to 28 days. In vitro, the ability of culture supernatants from infected cells to promote key inflammatory and atherosclerosis-associated cellular responses, such as monocyte chemotaxis, and foam cell formation, was Calprotectin-dependent. In vivo, Calprotectin blockade robustly inhibited the short and long-term peripheral and vascular consequences of peritonitis, thereby demonstrating that targeting of the DAMP Calprotectin is a promising therapeutic strategy to reduce the long-lasting vascular inflammatory aftermath of an infection, notably PD-associated peritonitis, ultimately lowering CV risk.

Project description:In this study, we have investigated the role of secondhand smoke (SHS) in the development of metabolic liver disease by characterizing the global regulation of genes and molecular pathways in SHS-exposed mice after termination of exposure (SHS 4M) and following one-month recovery in clean air (SHS 4M +1M RECOVERY).

Project description:Abdominal surgeries are lifesaving procedures but can be complicated by the formation of peritoneal adhesions, intra-abdominal scars that cause intestinal obstruction, pain, infertility, and significant health costs. Despite this burden, the mechanisms underlying adhesion formation remain unclear and no cure exists. Here, we show that contamination of gut microbes increases post-surgical adhesion formation. Using genetic lineage tracing we show that adhesion myofibroblasts arose from the mesothelium. This transformation was driven by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. The EGFR ligands Amphiregulin and Heparin-binding Epidermal Growth Factor, were sufficient to induce these changes. Correspondingly, EGFR inhibition led to a significant reduction of adhesion formation in mice. Adhesions isolated from human patients were enriched in EGFR positive cells of mesothelial origin and human mesothelium showed an increase of mesothelial EGFR expression during bacterial peritonitis. In conclusion, bacterial contamination drives adhesion formation through mesothelial EGFR signaling. This mechanism may represent a therapeutic target for the prevention of adhesions after intra-abdominal surgery.

Project description:A large body of evidence has linked secondhand smoke (SHS) to lung cancer in nonsmokers. Yet, the underlying mechanisms of SHS carcinogenicity in nonsmokers' lung cancer remain elusive. Recently, we have demonstrated a genotoxic mode of action for SHS, based on the ability of this carcinogen to induce adduct-driven mutagenesis in transgenic Big Blue® mice. In the present study, we have expanded this investigation to determine whether SHS can also cause epigenetic effects through aberrations of DNA methylation. Here, we have globally profiled DNA methylation in the lung of Big Blue® mice exposed to SHS for a duration of 4-months, both immediately after the termination of exposure and at several intervals post-exposure.

We have used a genome-wide microarray-based approach to catalogue DNA methylation profile in the lung of mice exposed to SHS and at various recovery periods from the time of exposure. Mice exposed to clean air, for comparable amount of times, were used as controls. Mice that were injected intraperitoneally with chronic doses of B(a)P (a powerful carcinogen in SHS) or DMSO (sham) were used for comparison purposes .
