Project description:High cholesterol diet and xenobiotic treatment induce changes in cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism. Mice were either 7 days on high cholesterol diet or were treated with phenobarbital. Liver samples were analyzed using Sterolgene v0 cDNA microarrays. Sterolgene microarray is a tool designed to enable focused studies of cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism. We show that one week of cholesterol diet down-regulates cholesterol biosynthesis and up-regulates xenobiotic metabolism (Cyp3 family). Phenobarbital treatment also up-regulates xenobiotic metabolism (Cyp2b and Cyp3a families). We can conclude that the Sterolgene series of cDNA microarrays represent novel original tool, enabling focused and cost-wise studies of cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism. Keywords: Treatment and diet effects One group of mice was treated i.p. with 50 mg/kg of phenobarbital in vehicle (5% DMSO in corn oil). Untreated group was injected vehicle. Third group was 7 days on 1 % (w/w) cholesterol diet prior vehicle treatment. After 10 h animals were sacrificed and livers were stored. Pools of total RNA from two animals were mixed. Three pools of untreated and phenobarbital treated groups, and two pools of cholesterol diet group were co-hybridized with liver reference on Sterolgene v0 cDNA microarray. No dye-swaps were performed.

Experiment Overall Design: One group of mice was treated 50 mg/kg of phenobarbital in vehicle (5% DMSO in corn oil). Untreated group was injected vehicle only. Third group was 7 days on 1% (w/w) cholesterol diet prior vehicle treatment. After 10 hours animals were sacrificed and total RNA was isolated from liver. Total RNA from two animals was pooled resulting in 4 pools per group. These pools were analyzed using Affymetrix GeneChip MOE430A.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE12489: Effect of phenobarbital on CAR and PXR regulated genes involved in drug metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis GSE12509: Effect of TCPOBOP on CAR and PXR regulated genes involved in drug metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis Refer to individual Series
Project description:TCPOBOP (1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene) and PCN (pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile) are inducers of drug metabolism through activation of nuclear receptors CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) and PXR (pregnane X receptor), respectively. Mouse experiment was designed to study the effect of CAR and PXR activation on cholesterol homeostasis genes and other genes, which are present on the Steroltalk v2 microarray. Treatments were combined with standard and high-cholesterol diet to observe the interference of high liver cholesterol on nuclear receptor transcription regulation. All experiments were done within the European sixth Framework program âSteroltalkâ (www.steroltalk.net). Results form these experiments give new knowledge about involvement of âxenosensorsâ CAR and PXR in regulation of endogenous liver metabolism. Animals were injected i.p. 3mg/kg TCPOBOP, 40 mg/kg PCN or vehicle (corn oil) in combination of one week of standard or 1% cholesterol diet prior tretament. After 24h they were sacrificed and total RNA was isolated from the livers. Each sample was hybridized with a reference sample to Steroltalk v2 microarrays.
