Project description:By identifying differentially expressed LncRNAs/mRNAs in THP-1 macrophages and THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells, we select some differentially expressed LncRNAs and explore their roles in atherosclerosis process. We already find that some LncRNA can effect cholesterol metabolism and level of inflammation factor, which may influence atherosclerosis process.

Project description:Strain effects on the response to cholesterol loading in bone marrow derived macrophages (BMM) are not well studied. The atherosclerosis susceptible strain, DBA/2 on the ApoE deficient background and the atherosclerosis resistant AKR strains show differences in cholesterol handling when loaded with AcLDL. To understand the molecular basis for these differences, BMM from both strains were loaded with acetylated low desnisty lipoprotein (AcLDL) and gene expression quantified. BMMs from AKR greatly upregulated transcripts involved in the lysosomal trafficking pathway. This experiment strongly suggest that upregualtion of the lysosomal pathway in response to AcLDL maybe protective against atherosclerosis. In addition we find that transcripts containing the sterol response element (SRE) motif had strong strain-loading interactions suggesting a strain response to SRE response.
Project description:Lipid rafts are cholesterol-rich cell signaling platforms and their physiological role can be explored by cholesterol depletion. To dress a global picture of transcriptional changes ongoing after lipid raft disruption, we performed whole-genome expression profiling in epidermal keratinocytes, a cell type which synthesizes its cholesterol in situ. We used microarrays to identify transcriptional changes in gene expression of cholesterol-depleted keratinocytes. Cholesterol depletion by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin disrupts the organization of lipid rafts, which are cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains. Transcript levels were measured in autocrine confluent cultures of normal human epidermal keratinocytes were either left untreated (Ctrl), cholesterol-depleted for 1h with 7.5mM methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD), or mock cholesterol-depleted for 1h with 7.5mM cholesterol-charged methyl-beta-cyclodextrin complexes (MBCD/chol) (Mock cholesterol depletion is a suppementary negative control as this treatment does not extract cholesterol from cell membranes). Samples are analysed either immediately after the treatment (R0h) or after recovery times of 1h (R1h) respectively 8h (R8h). in total 9 samples are analysed and no replicates are performed.
Project description:Levels of membrane-associated cholesterol were shown to be increased in the brain of individuals with sporadic AlzheimerM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease (AD) and correlated with the severity of the disease. We previously found that heavy membrane cholesterol burden promotes amyloid precursor protein (APP) endocytosis and processing, leading to increased amyloid-M-oM-^AM-"M-oM-^@M- M-oM-^@M-(AM-oM-^AM-") secretion. We hypothesized that such an increase of cholesterol could trigger sporadic AD. We thus acutely loaded the plasma membrane of neurons in culture with cholesterol to reach the 30 % increase observed in AD brains. We showed by multiplex electro-chemiluminescence immuno-assay that transient membrane cholesterol loading produced a significant increase of AM-oM-^AM-"42 secretion. We also found that early endosomes were enlarged and more prone to aggregation using confocal and electron microscopy and that APP vesicular transport in neuronal processes was slowed down using fluorescence live-imaging. In addition, treatment of neurons with cholesterol induced changes in gene expression profile that are reminiscent of early AD. This model of membrane cholesterol increase in cultured neurons reproduces most of early AD changes and could thus be relevant for deciphering early mechanisms and design new targets for sporadic AD. In this study, we loaded the plasma membrane of neurons with 30% more cholesterol and observed the effects on gene expression. We compared gene expression of primary hippocampal neurons treated or not with cholesterol using 4 independant replicates in each group.
Project description:R. conorii (pathogenic) and R. montanensis (non-pathogenic) display opposite survival versus death phenotypes in macrophage-like cells, respectively. We herein employed a global transcriptomic profiling of host responses to infection (1hpi) of human THP-1 macrophages with R. conorii and R. montanensis. Shortly, total RNA was harvested from uninfected, R. conorii- and R. montanensis-infected THP-1 macrophages, DNA was removed from RNA purification (DNAse treatment), ribosomal RNA was depleted and cDNA libraries were constructed. The samples were sequenced using an Ion Proton V2 chip on Ion Chef Instrument. The programmes Cufflinks and Cuffmerge were used to map transcripts and calculate gene expression, and Cuffdiff was used to calculate which samples had genes, which were statistically significantly differentially expressed between conditions.
