Genetic basis of rare arterial and renal phenotypes in the Brown Norway rat

ABSTRACT: The Brown Norway (BN) strain of rat is an inbred normotensive strain. BN rats of both sexes present some interesting pathophysiological phenotypes involving arteries and the kidneys. These include internal elastic lamina (IEL) ruptures in the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, a deficit in aortic elastin content, a persistent ductus arteriosus, hydronephrosis and hematuria. Spontaneous rupture of the internal elastic lamina occurs in various arteries during growth and aging, in different rat strains, both normotensive and hypertensive. Most strains present such ruptures in their caudal and renal arteries, although to different extents (Osborne-Pellegrin 1985; Coutard and Osborne-Pellegrin 1991). However, the BN strain is the only rat strain to spontaneously develop numerous IEL ruptures in the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries (Osborne-Pellegrin et al., 1989; Behmoaras J et al., 2005). In this respect, it is exceptional. In this study samples of abdominal aortae of BN- and LOU-rats (here as control) were compared Keywords: strain effect

They represent 2 groups of 5 replicates each. Experiment Overall Design: The 2 groups are 2 different rat strains: BN and LOU. Experiment Overall Design: Samples were prepared only from abdominal aortae (tissue).

Transcriptional profiling from young, old, healthy, or injured rat iliac arteries.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling from young, old, healthy, or injured rat iliac arteries. We studied the gene expression profile in a model of mechanical vascular injury in the iliac artery of aging (22 months old) and young rats (4 months old). We investigated aging-related variations in gene expression at 30 min, 3d and 7d post injury.

Differential gene expression is not correlated to age-related vascular pathology in aorta and mesenteric artery of Brown Norway and Fischer344xBrown Norway rats

Project description:Novel genetic pathways associated with successful and/or unsuccessful vascular aging Customized therapies for vascular disease will require matching the vessel type and genetic background of the patient. Our previous studies showed that progressive age-related vascular pathology is strain specific in the thoracic aorta (TA) and mesenteric arteries (MA) of the Brown Norway (BN) and the Fisher344/Brown Norway F1 hybrid (F1) rats. The purpose of this study was to identify novel genetic pathways associated with successful and/or unsuccessful vascular aging. TA and MA were collected from anesthetized 6, 15 and 24 month old age-matched F1 and BN rats for total RNA isolation. The gene microarrays were generated using the Affimetrix GeneChip Rat Expression 230A Array. Gene expression data was analyzed with the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and proprietary software. Despite more pronounced age-related vascular pathology in the F1 strain, more genes were differentially expressed in the BN strain during aging. A sample of common key genes (KLB1, TRIO, HLA-C and PCP4) showed similar expression at 6 and 15 months and downregulation at 24 months in F1 vs. upregulation in BN rats. Among the top 50 canonical pathways there was only a 10 and 30% overlap, respectively, between the F1 and BN strains in MA and TA. Most of the overexpressed molecules associated with the same vascular-related biological functions are different between strains. The data suggest that age-related vascular pathology and decrement in function is both strain and vessel-dependent and different genetic programs could be employed to accomplish both normal and pathological physiological processes in conduit and resistance arteries.

Expression data from junctional zone of placenta in Brown Norway and Holtzman-Sprague Dawley rat strains at gestation day 18.5

Project description:Placentation differs in the BN rat strain when compared to HSD and DSS rat strains. Intrauterine trophoblast invasion is shallow and the junctional zone is underdeveloped in the BN rat. These structural differences are striking but their quantification is not conducive to high throughput analyses. In the rat, the junctional zone can be readily dissected and is more homogenous than other components of the placentation site. HSD and BN rat gestation day 18.5 junctional zone gene expression profiles were determined using DNA microarray analysis to identity placenta-associate quantitate traits.

Estradiol modulates gene expression in the monkey iliac artery

Project description:Objective: To examine the effect of estradiol on gene expression in the monkey iliac arteries. Design: Eight ovariectomized cynomolgus monkeys were on a high fat diet for 6.5 years. The left iliac artery was biopsied before randomization to estradiol (1 mg Estrace® per day, n=4) or vehicle (n=4) for 8 months. The right iliac artery was obtained at necropsy. Gene expression in the iliac arteries in response to estradiol was determined by DNA microarray and confirmed by real time RT-PCR. Results: Atherosclerotic lesions in the iliac arteries ranged in size from 0-0.61 mm2 in estrogen-treated animals and from of 0-0.873 mm2 in controls. 106 genes were shown to be down-regulated and 26 genes were up-regulated in the monkey iliac arteries in response to estradiol. Among the genes shown to be up-regulated by DNA microarray and confirmed by real time RT-PCR were components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, IGF-1, IGF binding protein 4 (IGFBP4) and IGFBP5. Components of the Wnt signaling pathway were also up-regulated, including secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (SFRP2), SFRP4, low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6), and Wnt 1 inducible signaling pathway protein 2 (WISP2). Conclusions: The modest effect of estradiol on gene expression in monkey iliac arteries reported herein may reflect a reduction in response to estradiol as a result of the effect of the altered environment of the artery containing atherosclerotic plaque.
