Project description:Myocardial damage caused for example by cardiac ischemia leads to ventricular volume overload resulting in increased stretch of the remaining myocardium. In adult mammals, these changes trigger an adaptive cardiomyocyte hypertrophic response which, if the damage is extensive, will ultimately lead to pathological hypertrophy and heart failure. Conversely, in response to extensive myocardial damage, cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart and neonatal mice proliferate and completely regenerate the damaged myocardium. We therefore hypothesized that in adult zebrafish, changes in mechanical loading due to myocardial damage may act as a trigger to induce cardiac regeneration. Based, on this notion we sought to identify mechanosensors which could be involved in detecting changes in mechanical loading and triggering regeneration. Here we show using a combination of knockout animals, RNAseq and in vitro assays that the mechanosensitive ion channel Trpc6a is required by cardiomyocytes for successful cardiac regeneration in adult zebrafish. Furthermore, using a cyclic cell stretch assay, we have determined that Trpc6a induces the expression of components of the AP1 transcription complex in response to mechanical stretch. Our data highlights how changes in mechanical forces due to myocardial damage can be detected by mechanosensors which in turn can trigger cardiac regeneration.

Project description:Neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NRVCMs) were stretched biaxially (112%/24h) or stimulated with phenylephrine (PE, 50 uM), both resulting in a similar degree of hypertrophy. Unstretched NRVCMs served as negative control. Affymetrix microarray analysis revealed 164 genes more than 2.0-fold up- and 21 genes less than 0.5-fold downregulated (p<0.01). Differential expression was confirmed by real-time PCR. Several genes of the âfetal gene programâ, i.e. BNP (4.2-fold, all p<0.05) were induced by stretch as well as PE. We also verified the upregulation of known stretch-responsive genes, including HSP70 (20.9x) and c-myc (3.0x). Moreover, we identified genes exclusively induced by stretch, such as the cardioprotective and antihypertrophic cytokine GDF15 (24.8x) and the antihypertrophic factor heme oxygenase 1 (Hmox1, 10.8x; both confirmed on protein level). Of note, neither PE nor endothelin-1 were able to upregulate GDF15 and Hmox1, while angiotensin II significantly induced both genes. Conversely, addition of the AT1 receptor blocker irbesartan markedly blunted stretch-mediated GDF15 and Hmox1 induction, suggesting that the angiotensin II receptor mediates stretch-dependent signals. In conclusion, we report a comprehensive gene expression profile of cardiomyocytes subjected to biomechanical stress in comparison to pharmacologically induced hypertrophy. Our data imply that a stretch-specific gene program exists, that is mediated, at least in part, by angiotensin-II-dependent signalling. Experiment Overall Design: Three conditions were compared with two replicates each. These are: Experiment Overall Design: (1) control, i.e. no treatment; (2) induction by phenylephrine (50 uM); (3) induction by biomechanical stretch (112%/24h)

Project description:Differentiated PC12 cells were magnetically labeled with magnetic nanoparticles (MNP). External magnetic fields were used to mechanically stretch the MNP-labeled neurites. We found that mechanical stretching of the neurites induces mass addition and neurite elongation. We performed RNAseq of MNP-labelled cells in stretched versus non-stretched conditions and we did not found gene expression dysregulation, confirming that the two conditions were identical and excluding cytotoxicity or involvement of nuclear mechanotransdution. Indeed, local mechanisms triggered by the stretching of the MNP-labelled neurite would be responsible for neurite elongation.

Project description:With gene expression profiling it was aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes associated with the regulation of the cytoskeleton to investigate the stretch-induced cell alignment mechanism. A whole genome microarray based analysis of the stretch-induced gene expression changes was done. Gene expression was measured at the beginning of the alignment process showing first reoriented cells after 5 h stretching and at the end after 24 h, where nearly all cells are aligned. Cyclic mechanical stretching of cells results in cellular alignment perpendicular to the stretch direction regulating cellular response. This stress response is assumed to be an adaptation mechanism to reduce extensive stretching but also acts as architectural restructuring changing performance and biomechanics of the tissue. Gene expression profiling of control vs. stretched primary human dermal fibroblasts after 5 h and 24 h demonstrated the regulation of differentially expressed genes associated with metabolism, differentiation and morphology. Primary human dermal fibroblasts from ten donors were cultured on Bioflex culture plates and stretched for 5h and 24 h or left untreated to avoid changes according to cell culturing. Each of the subject provided 4 samples (control/treated and 5hrs/24hrs) resulting in 40 samples total.

Project description:Current knowledge of mechanically-induced regulation of gene expression in fibroblast is mostly based on experiments using prolonged cyclical stretching of either cultured cells or load-bearing connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. In this study, we have examined the effect of static tissue stretch on fibroblasts within loose connective tissue using in vivo and ex vivo models. In an in vivo trunk side bending model, one side of the trunk of the mouse was stretched while the other side was shortened under anesthesia for 90 minutes. In the ex vivo method, whole subcutaneous tissue explants (including skin, subcutaneous muscle and subcutaneous tissue) from both sides of the trunk were incubated ex vivo either stretched or not stretched (shortened) for 24 hours. Tissue stretch or shortening was followed by immediate dissection of the loose connective tissue layer on both sides of the trunk, RNA extraction and gene expression analysis using Affymetrix mouse gene arrays. In both in vivo and ex vivo experiments, a large cluster of genes related to skeletal muscle function and carbohydrate metabolism was up-regulated in the stretched, compared with the shortened, connective tissue samples. However, there were few differentially expressed matrix-related genes, and in particular no change in collagen genes. Immunohistochemical staining for myosin after tissue stretch for 24 hours ex vivo showed increased myosin immunoreactivity in fibroblasts within the stretched compared with the shortened tissue samples. These results suggest that dynamic modulation of muscle-related gene expression is a normal physiological response of loose connective tissue fibroblasts to changes in tissue length.. Keywords: response to mechanical stretch Within animal stretched vs shortened (randomized): 7 animals in vivo and 4 ex vivo.

Project description:The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of cyclic stretch-relaxation ("stretch") on gene expression patterns in normal diploid human bladder smooth muscle cells. Cells plated on silicone elastomer bottomed 6-well culture dishes were grown to ~80% confluence, serum-depleted for 48h and subjected to cyclic stretch-relaxation at 20% elongation for 4h. Cells seeded in stretch plates but not subjected to stretch served as controls. Total RNA was extracted from both groups of cells, reverse-transcribed, biotin-labeled, fragmented and hybridized to HG-U133A. Four biological replicates were generated for each treatment group (non-stretched or stretched). Keywords = bladder Keywords = smooth muscle cells Keywords = cyclic stretch-relaxation Keywords: other
