Project description:Analysis of the pulmonary gene expression in two mouse strains BALB/cOlaHsd (BALB/c) and CBA/CaOlaHsd (CBA/Ca) after infection with various serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. BALB/c mice show high resistance to infection with S. pneumoniae strain D39 (serotype 2), while CBA/Ca mice are highly susceptible. The lung samples of BALB/c and CBA/Ca were collected at 6h post-infection with one of the tested pneumococcal serotypes (2, 3, 6B and 19F) and for control animals (PBS-treated). Additionally lung samples from both mouse strains were collected at 12h and 24h post-infection with pneumococcal strain D39. The lists of differentially expressed genes were created by the comparison of infected versus PBS-treated animals and infected BALB/c versus infected CBA/Ca for each pneumococcal strain. The tested hypotheses were: 1) infection with S. pneumoniae will change the pulmonary transcriptomes of both mouse strains 2) The pulmonary gene expression will be specific for mouse strains and for the pneumococcal serotype and 3) The change in the pulmonary gene expression will associate with future clinical outcome of infection or with the type of observed inflammatory responses.

Project description:Analysis of pulmonary gene expression in two mouse strains, resistant (BALB/c) and susceptible (CBA/Ca) to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Data collected at 6h post-infection and for control animals (PBS-treated). The list of differentially expressed genes was created by comparisons of infected versus PBS-treated animals and PBS-treated BALB/c versus CBA/Ca. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that pulmonary transcriptomes of both mouse strains differ during pneumococcal infection and in non-disease conditions. Results provided important information on differences in immune responses between both mouse strains. The results identified genes and pathways uniquely regulated by only one of the tested mouse strains helping to understand molecular mechanism behind resistance or susceptibility to pneumococcal infections. Total RNA obtained from lung tissue from BALB/cOlaHsd and CBA/CaOlaHsd mouse strains (Harlan) 6 hours post intranasal infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39 dose 5.0E06 or PBS-treated animals

Project description:Humans vary markedly in their propensity to develop asthma, despite often being exposed to similar environmental stimuli. Similarly, mouse strains vary in susceptibility to airways pathology in experimental asthma. Sensitization and aerosol challenge with ovalbumin (OVA) induces eosinophil accumulation, mucus production and airways obstruction in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, CBA/Ca mice show relatively little pathology. Allergen-induced production of IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IFN-g was detected in all three strains, with BALB/c mice generating the highest levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes differentially regulated in lung tissue after OVA challenge. Differentially regulated genes in the lungs of the asthma-susceptible C57BL/6 and BALB/c strains numbered 242 and 145, respectively, whereas only 42 genes were differentially expressed in the resistant CBA/Ca strain. In C57BL/6 mice, transcripts were enriched for adhesion molecules and this was associated with high levels of eosinophil recruitment. Differentially regulated genes in the lungs of only the asthma-susceptible strains numbered 64 and several of these have not previously been associated with asthma. Many of the genes differentially regulated in the susceptible strains were enzymes involved in inflammation. Using network analysis, mRNA for the anti-apoptotic protein survivin was found to be up-regulated in the lungs following allergen challenge. Survivin mRNA and protein were also expressed at high levels in eosinophils recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. We propose that rapid apoptosis of lung eosinophils due to low expression of survivin contributes to the limitation of pathology in CBA/Ca mice Humans vary markedly in their propensity to develop asthma, despite often being exposed to similar environmental stimuli.

Project description:The pathological outcomes of schistosomiasis are largely dependent on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the host immune response. In this study, we demonstrate the variation of host gene expression which underlies the contrasting hepatic pathology observed between two inbred mouse strains following schistosome infection. Whole genome microarray analysis was employed in conjunction with histological and immunohistochemical analysis to define and compare the hepatic gene expression profiles and cellular composition associated with the hepatopathology observed in BALB/c and CBA mice during an active Schistosoma japonicum infection. Here, we show that the transcriptional profiles differ significantly between the two mouse strains with high statistical confidence. We identified specific genes correlating with the more severe pathology associated with CBA mice, as well as genes which may confer the milder degree of pathology associated with BALB/c mice. Generally, up-regulated genes were largely associated with immune and inflammatory responses, antigen processing and cytokine/chemokine activity. In BALB/c mice, neutrophil genes exhibited striking increases in expression, which coincided with significantly greater accumulation of neutrophils at granulomatous regions, compared to CBA mice. In contrast, up-regulated expression of eosinophil chemokine CCL24 in CBA mice paralleled the cellular influx of eosinophils to the hepatic granulomas. Additionally, there was greater down-regulation of genes involved in metabolic processes in CBA mice, reflecting the greater degree of liver damage in these mice. Genes involved in fibrosis showed similar levels of expression in both mouse strains. Genes associated with Th1 and Th2 responses showed no significant differences in expression between strains. These results provide a more complete picture of the molecular and cellular mechanisms which govern the pathological outcome of hepatic schistosomiasis. Furthermore, this improved understanding of schistosome immunopathogenesis in the murine model will provide the basis for a better appreciation of the complexities associated with chronic human schistosomiasis.

The gene expression profile of murine livers (BALB/c and CBA strains) were examined at 4, 7 and 9 weeks post infection with Schistosoma japonicum in comparison to that of uninfected controls. Three mice were utilised per group (Uninfected, 4, 7 and 9 weeks), totalling 24 samples. Microarray analysis was performed on individual RNA samples from each mouse.
