Project description:A filtration method followed by microarray analyses allows PDE components to be identified in brain microvessels, and confirmed that PDE4D and PDE5A are the primary forms expressed in rat brain microvessels. Adult male F344 rats were sacrificed and blocks of the cerebral cortex and infratentorial areas were dissected. Microvessels were isolated using a filtration method, and total RNA was extracted. Two microarrays using four sample RNAs (microvessels from the cerebral cortex vs. microvessels from the infratentorial block) were included in the present study. Microarrays demonstrated that there were 16 PDE transcripts in the PDE superfamily, exhibiting quantifiable density in the microvessels.

Project description:Rat retinal microvessels (RMVs) and brain microvessels (BMVs) were mechanically isolated under ice-cold condition. Retinal and brain tissues (RT, BT) from the same animals were collected for comparisons. Total RNA were individually extracted, amplified and processed on Affymetrix rat 2.0 microarray Chips. We sought to obtain the whole gene expression profile of RMVs, RT, BMVs and BT. Differently expressed genes (DEGs) between RMVs and RT, and between RMVs and BMVs, between RT and BT were analyses. Using these DEGs, we comprehensively analyzed gene expression of the microvessels and highlighted their involvement in critical functional structures in RMVs and BMVs, such as junctional complex, transporters and signaling pathways.

Project description:Enriched forebrain microvessels from P5, P10 and adult mice. Transcript comparisons identified 5873 genes with FC>2 between ages and 93 pathways. The observations were confronted to proteome study using NanoLS-MS/MS and deposited on proteomeXchange platform under # PXD001718. The 2 techniques converge towards extracellular matrix, cell adhesion and junction pathways, indicating early changes in development. The difference are examined as putative structural basis of very preterm intracerbral hemorrhage, 3 age comparisons of 5 days, 10 days and adult brain microvessels, 2 replicates, Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo 4Ã44K Microarray

Project description:Brain microvessels form the blood-brain barrier, and are dysfunctional in several neurological disorders. Brain microvessels are formed by brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) and pericytes, and the molecular constituents of these cell types remain incompletely characterized, especially in humans. To improve molecular knowledge of these cell types and identify species differences in gene expression, we performed RNA-sequencing on brain microvessels isolated from human and mouse tissue samples using laser capture microdissection. We also performed RNA-sequencing of matched whole brain samples to identify genes with microvessel-enriched expression.

Project description:Acrodysostosis represents a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by defective skeletal development and is often accompanied by intellectual disabilities. Mutations in the 3’5’cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent Protein Kinase (PKA) type I regulatory subunit isoform α (RIα) and phosphodiesterase (PDE) PDE4D have both been implicated in impaired PKA regulation in Acrodysostosis. How mutations on PDEs and RIα interfere with regulation of cAMP-PKA signaling is not understood. cAMP-PKA signaling can be described in two phases. In the activation phase, cAMP binding to RIα dissociates the free C-subunit. PDEs hydrolyze cAMP bound to RIα, priming the cAMP-free RIα for reassociation with the C-subunit, thereby completing one PKA activation cycle. Signal termination is thus critical for resetting PKA to its basal state and promoting adaptation to hormonal hyperstimulation. This proceeds through formation of a transient signal termination RIα:PDE complex that facilitates cAMP channeling from the cAMP-binding domain of RIα to the catalytic site of PDE. Signal termination of cAMP-PKA proceeds in three steps: Step 1) Channeling: Translocation of cAMP from the CNB of RIα to the PDE catalytic site for hydrolysis Step 2) Processivity: Binding of free cAMP from the cytosol at both CNBs of RIα and Step 3) Product (5’AMP) release from the PDE hydrolysis site through competitive displacement by a new molecule of cAMP that trigger subsequent activation cycles of PKA. We have identified the molecular basis for two acrodysostosis mutants, (PDE8 T690P) and RIα (T207A) that both allosterically impair cAMP-PKA signal termination. A combination of amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDXMS) and Fluorescence Polarization (FP) reveal that PDE8 T690P and RIα T207A both blocked processive hydrolysis of cAMP by interfering with competitive displacement of product 5’AMP release from the nucleotide channel at the end of each round of cAMP hydrolysis. While T690P blocked product 5’AMP release from the PDE, T207A greatly slowed release of substrate from RIα. These results highlight the role of processivity in cAMP hydrolysis by RIα:PDE termination complexes for adaptation to cAMP from GPCR hyperstimulation. Impairment of the signal termination process provides an alternate molecular basis for acrodysostosis.

Project description:Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) in the brain microcirculation is a hallmark of cerebral malaria (CM), leading to endothelial activation, microvascular occlusion, brain swelling, and death. The inflammatory pathogenesis is however poorly understood, partly due to the lack of suitable in vitro platforms to study CM biology. Here, we used 3D perfusable brain microvessels to investigate combinatorial pathogen and host inflammatory stimuli over the in situ parasite maturation and IE rupture. Whereas tumor necros factor (TNF) potently upregulated adhesion molecules and inflammatory pathways, and uniformly recruited leukocytes throughout the microvessels, P. falciparum-IEs upregulated unique stress response pathways, induced minor junctional disturbances and low levels of endothelial apoptosis, and preferentially recruited leukocytes at IE binding regions. Furthermore, parasites delayed recovery from TNF stimulation and enhanced inflammatory responses. Our findings offer insights into CM biology, and suggest that multiple events intersect to promote brain barrier inflammation in CM.

Project description:In a mouse model of elastase-induced emphysema, the effect of tetomilast against the emphysema development observed in C57BL/6J (C57) could be also detected in phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4D(+/+) but not in PDE4B(+/+), PDE4B(-/-), and PDE4D(-/-) mice. Based on this result, we hypothesized that the difference in the efficacy of tetomilast among these strains of mice might result from the differences in the levels of the target molecules of tetomilast other than PDE4 in each mouse strain. To test this hypothesis, we used microarrays to compare the expression levels of genes in the lungs of each mouse strain. The expression profiling by array demonstrated that the levels of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (CDKN1a) in PDE4B(+/+), PDE4B(-/-), and PDE4D(-/-) were higher than those in C57 and PDE4D(+/+). Total RNAs were extracted from the lungs from naïve mice in each strain [C57, PDE4B(+/+), PDE4B(-/-), PDE4D(+/+), and PDE4D(-/)], and were used for microarray. In comparison with the expression levels of genes in C57, we retrieved the genes which expressed at the same levels in PDE4D(+/+), and at the different levels in PDE4B(+/+), PDE4B(-/-), and PDE4D(-/-).

Project description:To investigate the stroke-induced changes in gene expression in cerebral microvessels, we subjected mice to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) or sham surgeries. 24h hours later, cerebral microvessels were harvested and RNA was isolated. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of cerebral microvessels isolated from 8 mice (4 shams and 4 tMCAO)
