Project description:Background & Aims: Previous studies have suggested that dietary folic acid (FA) can protect against certain types of cancers. However, the findings have varied and the mechanisms by which this vitamin exerts chemopreventive effects remain to be clarified. We examined the effects of FA supplementation on DNA methylation, gene expression and gastric dysplasia in a transgenic mouse model that is etiologically and histologically well matched with human gastric cancers. Methods: Hypergastrinemic mice (INS-GAS) infected with Helicobacter felis were studied at multiple stages of gastric dysplasia and early cancer, with FA supplementation initiated both at weaning and later in life. Global DNA methylation was assessed by a methylation-sensitive cytosine incorporation assay, bisulfite pyrosequencing of B1 repetitive elements and immunohistochemistry (IHC) with anti-5-methylcytosine. We also profiled gene expression in the same tissues. Results: We found a decrease in global DNA methylation and tissue folate and an increase in serum homocysteine with progression of gastric dysplasia. FA supplementation prevented this loss of global DNA methylation and markedly reduced gastric dysplasia and mucosal inflammation. FA protected against the loss of global DNA methylation both in the dysplastic gastric epithelial cells and in gastric stromal myofibroblasts. In addition, FA supplementation had an anti-inflammatory effect, as indicated by expression profiling and IHC for lymphocyte markers. Conclusions: We conclude that FA supplementation is chemopreventive in this model of Helicobacter-associated gastric cancer. The beneficial effect of FA is likely due to its ability to reverse global loss of methylation and suppress inflammation. Study the difference in gene expression between transgenic hypergastrinemic (INS-GAS) mice fed a folate-supplemented diet and a diet with normal folate content. Because folate had a substantial protective effect, we matched the animals not only by folate status but also by dysplasia score (DYS). The degree of dysplasia was scored on a 1-4 scale. True replicates are not included. The first five samples are from folate supplemented animals, and the latter five are from controls on regular chow.

Project description:The experimental mouse model is important for understanding the impact of aging on immune function. Humans are exposed to multiple pathogens during their lifetime, which has a significant effect on immune function as they age, while laboratory mice are aged under specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions, reducing their exposure to pathogens throughout life. To determine the impact of accumulating antigen exposure on immunity in the aging mouse, and to develop a more relevant model, we sequentially infected young female mice with four distinct pathogens, a murine g-herpesvirus (gHV68), Sendai virus, murine cytomegalovirus (mCMV) and Heligmosomoides polygyrus (H. poly) at eight-week intervals, while mock-infected mice received PBS. After aging the mice to 18-20 months, we analyzed multiple immune parameters, compared to control, mock-infected mice maintained under SPF conditions. We assessed transcriptional activity in peripheral blood, T cell phenotype, CD8 T cell repertoire, and the response of the animals to infection with influenza virus and M. tuberculosis. Our data show enhanced transcriptional activation in sequentially infected aged mice, with changes in some CD8 T cell subsets. However, there was no measurable difference in the response of mock and sequentially infected aged mice to de novo infection with either influenza virus or M. tuberculosis at 18-20 months. Unexpectedly, undertaking a similar influenza challenge in 25-month-old female mice revealed a significantly higher survival rate for serially infected (80%) versus mock infected (20%) mice. These data suggest that while exposure to a variety of pathogen challenges in the mouse model does not overtly impact cellular markers of immunity in aged female mice following de novo respiratory infection, subtle changes may emerge in other compartments or with increasing age.

Project description:Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been used in several clinical cases. However, few studies have been reported on the use of hydrogen therapy for treatment of sepsis, and the anti-inflammatory mechanism of H2 remains majorly unknown. The aim of this study is to confirm the effects of H2 therapy for sepsis and reveal its therapeutic mechanism by performing RNA-seq in multiple organs in the septic mice. Nine-week-old C57BL/6 male mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture procedure (CLP) or sham procedure. Subsequently, the CLP model received an immediate +/- continuous inhalation of 7% H2. The H2 gas-treated groups were housed in the same cage, and they were put in a designated box that was able to maintain the concentration of H2 through constant H2 supply by a gas generator. Mice were observed for a week to assess their survival rates. Serum inflammatory cytokines were evaluated with ELISA at 24 h after the CLP procedure.

Project description:GAS strains were grown in THY broth to early exponential phase and RNA extracted. cDNA was generated and the expression profiles were determined using the RMLgenechip. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes differentially expressed between strains. This experiment compared pre- and post- mouse passaged GAS strains.
