Project description:Insight into the role of Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) in development of lungs has come from the study of genetically modified mice. IGF1 is a key factor during lung development. IGF1 deficiency in the neonatal mouse causes respiratory failure collapsed alveoli and altered alveolar septa. To further characterize IGF1 function during lung development we analyzed Igf1-/- mouse prenatal lungs in a C57Bl/6 genetic background. Mutant lungs showed disproportional hypoplasia, disorganized extracellular matrix and dilated alveolar capillaries. IGF1 target genes during lung maturation were identified by analyzing RNA differential expression in Igf1-/- lungs using microarrays. Lungs from E18.5 were isolated from both Igf1+/+ wild type and Igf1-/- null mice and pooled to obtain RNA. Heterozygous male and female with a genetic background C57BL/6J were mated to obtain embryos at embrionic (E) stage 18.5 days post coitum (E18.5). 3 biological replicates per genotype.

Project description:Craniosynostosis affecting the lambdoid suture is uncommon. The definition of lambdoid craniosynostosis solely applies to those cases demonstrating true suture obliteration, similar to other forms of craniosynostosis. In patients presenting with posterior plagiocephaly, true lambdoid craniosynostosis must be differentiated from the much more common positional molding. It can occur in a unilateral form, a bilateral form, or as part of a complex craniosynostosis. In children with craniofacial syndromes, synostosis of the lambdoid suture most often is seen within the context of a pansynostotic picture. Chiari malformations are commonly seen in multisutural and syndromic types of craniosynostosis that affect the lambdoid sutures. Posterior cranial vault remodeling is recommended to provide adequate intracranial volume to allow for brain growth and to normalize the skull shape. Although many techniques have been described for the correction of lambdoid synostosis, optimal outcomes may result from those techniques based on the concept of occipital advancement.

Project description:Craniosynostosis is a disease defined by premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. The mechanistic pathology of isolated single-suture craniosynostosis is complex and while a number of genetic biomarkers and environmental predispositions have been identified, in many cases the causes remain controversial and inconclusive at best. After controlling for variables contributing to potential bias, FGF7, SFRP4, and VCAM1 emerged as potential genetic biomarkers for single-suture craniosynostosis due to their significantly large changes in gene expression compared to the control population. Furthermore, pathway analysis implicated focal adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction as differentially regulated gene networks when comparing all cases of single-suture synostosis and controls. Lastly, overall gene expression was found to be highly conserved between coronal and metopic cases, as evidenced by the fact that WNT2 and IGFBP2 were the only differentially regulated genes identified in a direct comparison. These results not only confirm the roles of previously reported craniosynostosis-related targets but also introduce novel genetic biomarkers and pathways that may play critical roles in its pathogenesis.

In this study, gene expression data from 199 patients with isolated sagittal (n= 100), unilateral coronal (n = 50), and metopic (n = 49) synostosis are compared against both a control population (n = 50), as well as each other.

Project description:IGF1 and IGF1 receptors (IGF1R) are present in the adult heart and have been shown to be essential for myocardial performance. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is produced in numerous tissues particularly by the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation and is an important factor in the regulation of post-natal growth and development. We have generated and characterized transgenic mice over-expressing the IGF1R. We crossed IGF1R transgenic mice with dominant negative (dn)PI3K (p110) and with constitutively active (ca)PI3K(p110) transgenic mice. Expression profiling was performed on the ventricles of IGF1R, IGF1R-caPI3K, IGF1R-dnPI3K, caPI3K, dnPI3K transgenic female mice at 3 months of age. Non-transgenic littermates were used as controls.

Project description:To generate IGF1 signatures in human melanoma cell lines. Recombinant human IGF1 (rhIGF1) was added to WM35, known to be responsive to rhIGF1, whereas constitutive IGF1 signaling in Mel-624 was abrogated by siRNA directed against the IGF1 receptor (siIGF1R). Experiments were performed in triplicate in normoxia (O2 concentration, 21%) and hypoxia (1% O2), because hypoxia has been suspected to play an adverse role in melanoma. After generating GEP data, we created signatures of genes significantly (p ≤0.0001, q ≤0.05) and consistently upregulated in rhIGF1-treated WM35 cells, or similarly downregulated in siIGF1R-treated Mel-624 cells, as compared to control cells at the same O2 concentration.

Project description:Craniosynostosis is a birth defect where calvarial sutures close prematurely, as part of a genetic syndrome or independently, with unknown cause. This study aimed to identify differences in gene expression in primary calvarial cell lines derived from patients with four phenotypes of single-suture craniosynostosis, compared to controls. Calvarial bone samples (N = 388 cases/85 controls) were collected from clinical sites during reconstructive skull surgery. Primary cell lines were then derived from the tissue and used for RNA sequencing. Linear models were fit to estimate covariate adjusted associations between gene expression and four phenotypes of single-suture craniosynostosis (lambdoid, metopic, sagittal, and coronal), compared to controls. Sex-stratified analysis was also performed for each phenotype. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) included 72 genes associated with coronal, 90 genes associated with sagittal, 103 genes associated with metopic, and 33 genes associated with lambdoid craniosynostosis. The sex-stratified analysis revealed more DEGs in males (98) than females (4). There were 16 DEGs that were homeobox (HOX) genes. Three TFs (SUZ12, EZH2, AR) significantly regulated expression of DEGs in one or more phenotypes. Pathway analysis identified four KEGG pathways associated with at least one phenotype of craniosynostosis. Together, this work suggests unique molecular mechanisms related to craniosynostosis phenotype and fetal sex.

Project description:Insulin-like growth factor (IGF1R) signalling has been implicated to play an important role in regulation of cardiac growth, hypertrophy and contractile function, and has been linked to the development of age related congestive heart failure. Here we address the question to what extent cardiomyocyte specific IGF1 signalling is essential for maintenance of the structural and functional integrity of the adult murine heart. To investigate the effects of IGF1 signalling in the adult heart without confounding effects due to IGF1 over-expression or adaptation during embryonic and early post-natal development, we inactivated the IGF1R by a 4-hydroxy tamoxifen inducible Cre recombinase in adult cardiac myocytes. Efficient inactivation of the IGF1R (iCMIGF1RKO) as assessed by Western analysis and real-time PCR went along with reduced IGF1-dependent AKT and GSK3β-phosphorylation. Functional analysis by conductance manometry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed no functional alterations in young adult iCMIGF1RKO mice (age 3 month). However, when induced in aged mice (11 month) diastolic cardiac function was depressed. To address the question if insulin signalling might compensate for the defective IGF1R signalling we inactivated β-cells by streptozotocin. However, the diabetes associated functional depression was similar in controls and iCMIGF1RKO mice. Similarly, analysis of the cardiac gene expression profile on 44K microarrays did not reveal activation of overt adaptive processes. Endogenous IGF1 receptor signalling is required for conservation of cardiac function of the aging heart, but not for the integrity of cardiac structure and function of young hearts. Four samples of each group: the control group, positive for Cre recombinase, but negative for the floxed IGF-1R and the experimental group with double transgenic mice (merCremer/+ IGFloxP/IGFloxP).
