Project description:T helper 9 cells (Th9) are interleukin 9 (IL-9)–producing cells that have diverse functions ranging from anti-tumor immune responses to driving allergic inflammation. Th9 cells differentiate from naïve CD4+ T cells in the presence of IL-4 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β). In this reports, we have found that suppression of fatty acid biosynthesis increased IL-9 production in murine and human Th9 cells. This dataset include a set of data showing the effects of suppression of fatty acid synthesis on gene expression, chromatin remodelling and histone modifications in Th9 cells as analyzed by RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq, respectively.

Project description:The liver is critical for maintaining systemic energy balance during starvation. To understand the role of hepatic fatty acid β-oxidation on this process, we generated mice with a liver-specific knockout of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (Cpt2L-/-), an obligate step in mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation. Surprisingly, Cpt2L-/- mice survived the perinatal period and a 24hr fast with sufficient blood glucose. The loss of hepatic fatty acid oxidation resulted in a significant loss in circulating ketones that remained unaltered by fasting. Fasting induced serum dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis and adaptations in hepatic and systemic oxidative gene expression in Cpt2L-/- mice to maintain systemic energy homeostasis. Alternatively, feeding a ketogenic diet resulted in severe hepatomegaly, liver damage and death within one week with a complete absence of adipose triglyceride stores. These data show that hepatic fatty acid oxidation is not required for survival during acute food deprivation but essential for constraining adipocyte lipolysis and regulating systemic catabolism when glucose is limiting. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse liver from mice fasted for 24 hours with and without the deletion of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (i.e. hepatocytes unable to beta-oxidize long chain fatty acids in mitochondria). WildType and KnockOut mice were fasted for 24 hours. Three biologic replicates were compared per class, thus six mice.

Project description:HFPO-DA (ammonium 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)-propanoate; CASRN 62037-80-3; trade name “GenX”) is an alternative to environmentally persistent per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The liver is the primary target of toxicity for HFPO-DA in rodents and previous examination of hepatic transcriptomic responses in mice following oral exposure to HFPO-DA for 90 days showed induction of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways, predominantly by PPAR alpha, as well as increased gene expression of both peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. To further investigate the mechanism of liver toxicity, transcriptomic analysis was conducted on liver tissue from mice orally exposed to 0, 0.1, 0.5 or 5 mg/kg-bw/day HFPO-DA in a reproduction/developmental toxicity study. Hepatic gene expression changes were consistent with the previous 90-day mouse study, demonstrating activation of the PPAR alpha signaling pathway. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation gene sets were enriched at lower HFPO-DA concentrations, and complement cascade, cell cycle and apoptosis related gene sets were enriched at higher HFPO-DA concentrations. These results support the reported histopathological findings in livers of mice from this study and indicate that these effects are mediated through rodent-specific PPAR alpha signaling mechanisms.

Project description:Transcriptomic anlayses were conducted on liver tissue from male and female CD-1 mice orally exposed to 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 or 5 mg/kg-bw/day HFPO-DA (ammonium 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)-propanoate; CASRN 62037-80-3) in a 18-month carcinogencity study that included a 9-month chronic toxicity phase in support of an investigation of the mode of action for HFPO-DA-mediated liver toxicity. This combined chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study complied with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 453 test guidelines for combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies. Transcriptomic responses in exposed mice were compared to time-matched control mice. Pathway enrichment of differentially expressed genes, as well as benchmark dose modeling and functional classification of dose-responsive genes were conducted. A low hepatic transcriptomic response was observed in mice exposed to 0.05 or 0.1 mg/kg-bw/day HFPO-DA for 9 or 18 months. In mice exposed to 0.5 or 5 mg/kg-bw/day, the top most significantly enriched gene sets were similar in male and female mouse livers regardless of exposure duration. Upregulated gene sets were related to b-oxidation of fatty acids and fatty acid metabolism, PPAR signaling, and peroxisome signaling. Downregulated gene sets were related to innate immune responses and amino acid metabolism. Results from benchmark dose-response analysis indicate livers from male mice exposed to HFPO-DA for 9 months had the greatest transcriptomic response.

Project description:How hepatocytes respond to a fatty acid stimulus is the topic of continuous research, since it is essential for our understanding of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease a pathology with a hard to detect onset, estimated to be present in a quarter of the adult human population. As advanced stages include cirrhosis and development of hepatocellular carcinoma, early detection and intervention is crucial. To improve our understanding of the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease we treated a human hepatoma cell line model, HepG2, with increasing concentrations of common fatty acids namely myristic, palmitic and oleic acid. To reproduce more representative conditions, we also included combinations of these fatty acids and monitored the cellular response with an in-depth proteomics approach and imaging techniques. The two saturated fatty acids presented a similar phenotype of a dose dependent decrease of proliferation rates and little lipid droplet formation. Interestingly, our data corroborated that this drop in proliferation rates was due to delayed cell cycle progression following myristic acid treatment, whereas palmitic acid led to cellular apoptosis. In contrast, oleic acid, as well as saturated fatty acid mixtures with oleic acid, led to a dose dependent increase of lipid droplet volume without the adverse impact on proliferation. Comparing the outcomes from harmful single fatty acid treatments and the well tolerated fatty acid mixes, we were able to differentiate between fatty acid specific cellular responses and likely common lipotoxic denominators. Two of them, A2M and SERPINA3, are modulators of the innate immune system and are likely involved in the inflammation occurring on systemic level. The remaining four include transcription factors like H2AFY, which recently has been proposed as a biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusively, our study not only manages to contextualise proteome alterations following fatty acid treatment, but also highlights differences between cellular effects of two common saturated fatty acids.

Project description:Domoic acid (DA) is a neuroexcitatory amino acid that is naturally produced by some marine diatom species of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. Ingestion of DA-contaminated seafood by humans results in a severe neurotoxic disease known as amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Clinical signs of ASP include seizures and neuronal damage from activation of AMPA and kainate receptors. However, the impacts of DA exposure at levels below those known to induce outward signs of neurobehavioral exicitotoxicity have not been well characterized. To further understand the mechanisms of neurotoxic injury associated with DA exposure, we examined the transcriptome of whole brains from zebrafish (Danio rerio) receiving intracoelomic (IC) DA at both symptomatic and asymptomatic doses. A majority of zebrafish exposed to high-dose DA (1.2 µg DA/g) exhibited clinical signs of neuroexcitotoxicity (EC50 of 0.86 µg DA/g) within 5 to 20 minutes of IC injection. All zebrafish receiving low-dose DA (0.47 µg DA/g) or vehicle only maintained normal behavior. Microarray analysis of symptomatic and asymptomatic exposures collectively yielded 306 differentially expressed genes (1.5-fold, p = 0.05) predominately represented by signal transduction, ion transport, and transcription factor functional categories. Transcriptional profiles were suggestive of neuronal apoptosis following an overwhelming of protective adaptive pathways. Further, potential molecular biomarkers of neuropathic injury, including Nrdg4, were identified and may be relevant to DA exposure levels below that causing neurobehavioral injury. Our results validate zebrafish as a vertebrate model to study mechanisms of DA neurotoxicity and provide a basis for identifying pathways of DA-induced injury as well as biomarkers of asymptomatic and symptomatic DA exposure levels.

Project description:Unilateral injections of 6-hydroxydopamine into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is used extensively as a model of Parkinson’s disease. The present experiments examined whether a single injection of methamphetamine (METH) (2.5 mg/kg) could still influence striatal gene expression after 6-hydroxydopamine (DA)-induced destruction of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway in the rat. Unilateral injections of 6-hydroxydopamine into the MFB resulted in total striatal dopamine depletion on the lesioned side. This injection also caused decreased striatal serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels. DA depletion was associated with increases in 5-HIAA/5-HT ratios which were potentiated by the METH injection. Microarray analyses revealed changes (+ 1.7-fold, p < 0.025) in the expression of 67 genes on the lesioned side in comparison to the intact side of the saline-treated hemiparkinsonian animals. These include follistatin, neuromedin U, and tachykinin 2 which were up-regulated. METH administration caused increases in the expression of several genes including c-fos, Egr1, and NOR-1 on the intact side. On the DA-depleted side, METH administration also increased the expression of 61 genes including Pdgfd and COX-2. There were METH-induced changes in 16 genes that were common in the DA-innervated and DA-depleted sides. These include c-fos and NOR-1 which show greater changes on the normal DA side. The present study documents METH-mediated DA-independent transcriptional alterations of several genes in the DA-denervated striatum. Our results also implicate serotonin as an important player in METH-induced gene expression because the METH injection also caused significant increases in 5-HIAA/5-HT ratios on the DA-depleted side.

Project description:We studied the opposing effects of exercise training and high-fat diet at tissue-level resolution to reveal gene expression and pathway changes in subcutaneous white adipose tissue, visceral white adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. We revealed gene modules consistently up-regulated by exercise training, which include fatty acid biosynthesis/beta-oxidation/metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, TCA cycle, and ROS response. Modules down-regulated by exercise training in all three tissues are antigen presentation, neutrophil degranulation, immune cell migration, phagosome-related genes, ECM-related genes, proliferation, and ribonucleotide biosynthesis. Taken together, exercise training improves fatty acid metabolism and cellular respiration similarly across the three metabolic tissues, and represses immune, ECM, proliferation and tissue-specific pathways.
