Project description:Gliomas are aggressive primary brain tumors, presenting surgery limitations due to their highly infiltrative potential. The expression of Angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors in human astrocytomas was previously associated with a poor prognosis. Accordingly, this study was undertaken to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying Ang II actions in gliomas through the transcriptomic analysis of glioma cells exposed to Ang II. C6 glioma cells were treated with Ang II and specific antagonists of AT1 and AT2. Total RNA was isolated at three and six hours intervals and submitted to oligonucleotide microarray protocol. The differentially expressed genes were obtained by paired t-tests with p<0.05 and interpreted using Venn diagrams, functional enrichment and protein interaction network analyses. Validation of microarray results was carried out through qPCR experiments of selected genes. We found a high number of significant genes with low fold changes in gene expression at the time intervals studied. These genes were regulated in a time dependent-manner, with most gene expression changes being exclusive to one of the time intervals evaluated. Our results indicated that blocking AT1 or AT2 changed the expression of genes involved in regulation of transcription, cell cycle, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, cell migration, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, protein transport and protein ubiquitination. Additionally, the signaling pathways over-represented by the significant genes were ErbB, mTOR, MAPK, neurotrophin, insulin and Wnt. Finally, interactome analyses revealed hub genes associated with cell proliferation, survival, migration, transport, structural support, neurotrophin pathway, MAPK signaling and Wnt signaling. Taken together, our findings implicate Ang II-transcriptional regulation in glioma progression by means of the modulation of genes participating in protumoral functions. This transcriptome pattern is observed upon Ang II activation of either AT1 or AT2 receptors, thereby highlighting the relevance of both receptor subtypes in glioma progression. Interactome analyses disclosed hub genes regulated by Ang II which may present higher control over their networks. These genes participate in biological functions that could enhance the degree of malignancy in gliomas and thus should be further explored. C6 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 Units/ml penicillin and 100 M-BM-5g/ml streptomycin. Cells were seeded in cell culture dishes and incubated at 37M-BM-0C/ 5% CO2 until becoming confluent. Then, these cells were pre-treated (30 minutes) with either AT1 receptor antagonist (Losartan: 10-5M) or AT2 receptor antagonist (PD123319: 10-5M) followed by Ang II treatment (10-7 M) according to the treatment scheme: Group 1 M-bM-^@M-^S control; Group 2 M-bM-^@M-^S cells only treated with Ang II; Group 3 M-bM-^@M-^S cells pre-treated (30 minutes) with Losartan and then treated with Ang II; Group 4 M-bM-^@M-^S cells pre-treated (30 minutes) with PD123319 and then treated with Ang II. To identify which genes were significantly differentially expressed, paired t-tests (p<0.05) were performed in the following comparisons: Ang II x Control (3h); Ang II x Control (6h); Ang II +Los x Ang II (3h); Ang II +Los x Ang II (6h); Ang II +PD123319 x Ang II (3h); Ang II +PD123319 x Ang II (6h).

Project description:Angiotensin II (Ang II) mediated signaling plays a key role in the development of hypertension associated target organ damages. However, the gene expression changes regulated by Ang II in the early stage of acute cerebral, cardiac, renal, vascular injury remain unclear. we investigated Ang IIâ??mediated gene expression alteration associated with the development of early cerebral, cardiac, renal, vascular injury by microarray assay in a mouse model. All mice were euthanized by an overdose of pentobarbital on days 1, 3 and 7 of Angiotensin II treatment. Total RNA was isolated with TRIzol (Invitrogen) from brains, hearts, kidneys and vessels (n=1-3 per group) at each time point according to manufacturerâ??s instructions. Gene expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip mouse Genome 430 2.0 array according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA). On the GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array, over 45,000 probe sets analyze the expression level of over 39,000 transcripts and variants from over 34,000 well characterized mouse genes.

Project description:Angiotensin II (Ang-II) regulates adrenal steroid production and gene transcription through several signaling pathways. Changes in gene transcription occur within minutes after Ang-II stimulation, causing an acute increase in aldosterone production and subsequent increase in the overall capacity to produce aldosterone. Our goal was to compare the Ang-II regulation of early gene expression and confirm the upregulation of selected genes using quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR) across three species: human, bovine, and rat. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis was performed using samples from control and Ang-II-(10 nM) treated (1 hour) cells from human adrenocortical tumor cell line H295-R, and primary adrenal glomerulosa cells from bovine and rat, applied respectively to human HG-133 + 2 , bovine, and rat 230-2 Affymetrix chips. qPCR was performed to confirm upregulation of selected genes using mRNA. Dye Swap was not used. Human samples (H295R) include 3 replicates of Basal (controls) and 3 repeats of Angiotensin II samples. Human H295R cells include also a group of cycloheximide (protein synthesis blocker) and angiontensin II + cycloheximide in order to check if the genes were direct targets of angiotensin II.

Examined 4 samples of Rat VSMC in triplicate. Control (without Ang II treatment) and 3 samples treated with Ang II for 6h, 12h, and 24h. Compared the changes in gene expression in Ang II treated samples relative to control samples.

Project description:AF is characterized by structural and electrical remodeling, including atrial enlargement, fibrosis, inflammation, and ion-channel alteration, which frequently results in arrhythmia recurrence and maintenance.However, the gene expression profiles signaling pathways in the atria during the development of AF induced by Ang II remain unknown All mice were infused with Ang II (2000 ng/kg/min) using an osmotic pump for 1, 2 and 3 weeks. At the end of Ang II infusion, intracardiac pacing was performed in these animals by inserting an eight-electrode catheter (1.1 F, octapolar EP catheter, Science) through the jugular vein and advancing it into the right atrium and ventricle.

Project description:It is well known that rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a critical role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The present study was aimed to clarify the role of a novel member of RAAS, angiotensin IV (Ang IV) and its downstream mediator forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. In vivo, diabetic mice were treated with low-, medium- and high-dose Ang IV, AT4R antagonist divalinal, FoxO1 inhibitor AS1842856 (AS), or their combinations. In vitro, cardiomyocytes and cardiofibroblasts were treated with different concentrations of glucose, low-, medium- and high-dose Ang IV, divalinal, FoxO1-overexpression plasmid (FoxO1-OE), AS or their combinations. The results showed that Ang IV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction, fibrosis, and myocyte apoptosis in diabetic mice. Besides, enhanced autophagy and FoxO1 protein expression by diabetes were dose-dependently suppressed by Ang IV treatment. However, these cardioprotective effects of Ang IV were completely abolished by divalinal administration. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in autophagy, apoptosis, and FoxO signaling pathways among control, diabetes, and diabetes+high-dose Ang IV groups. Similar to Ang IV, AS treatment ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice. In vitro, high glucose stimulation increased collagen expression, apoptosis, overactive autophagy flux and FoxO1 nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, and upregulated collagen and FoxO1 expression in cardiofibroblasts, which were substantially attenuated by Ang IV treatment. However, these protective effects of Ang IV were completely blocked by the use of divalinal or FoxO1-OE, and these detrimental effects were reversed by the additional administration of AS. In summary, Ang IV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction and remodeling in a mouse model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and the mechanisms involved stimulation of AT4R and suppression of FoxO1-mediated fibrosis, apoptosis, and overactive autophagy.
