Project description:Confluent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to Thrombin (2 U/mL) for 2 hours. Ribosomal profiling via gradient centrifugation and fractionation was used to separate monosome, or under-translated, and polysome, or actively translated, mRNA species that were then used to probe cDNA arrays, a process known as Translation State Array Analysis (TSAA). Four samples were obtained from these experiments, Control Monosome, Control Polysome, Thrombin Monosome, and Thrombin Polysome. Using the normalized signal intensities from the GeneFilters, we calculated a translation index, or measure of movement of an mRNA molecule from the monosome to the polysome fraction upon stimulation. This calculation was made as follows: (thrombin polysome/thrombin monosome)/(control polysome/control monosome). Translational indices greater than 2.5 (upregulated) or lower than 0.4 (downregulated) were chosen for further study. TSAA data suggests that JunB is translationally regulated by thrombin stimulation. Immunocytochemistry, western blotting and RT-PCR were used to verify the results of TSAA.

Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells derived from type 2 diabetic patients (dLECs).Quadruplicate biological samples were analyzed from human lymphatic endothelial cells (4 x diabetic; 4 x non-diabetic). subsets: 1 disease state set (dLECs), 1 control set (ndLECs)
Project description:Thrombin exerts pleiotropic effects on the endothelium. Nevertheless, little is known about its capacity to generate endothelial microparticles, a hallmark of endothelial activation. To gain insight into the mechanisms involved in microparticles release, the human microvascular endothelial cell line-1 (HMEC1) was stimulated with thrombin at 1 IU/ml for different times. The gene expression profiling in stimulated HMEC-1 was compared to that obtain with untreated cells.
