The fragmented cRNA was hybridized for 16 hr at 45C to GeneChip MOE430A 2.0, which detects over 14,000 mouse annotated transcripts and ESTs (Affymetrix). Arrays were washed at 25C with 6 X SSPE (0.9 M NaCl, 60 mM NaH2PO4, 6 mM EDTA + 0.01% Tween 20) followed by a stringent wash at 50C with 100 mM MES, 0.1 M [Na+], 0.01% Tween 20.","Nucleic Acid Extraction - Total RNA from primary microglial cultures was isolated 1 hour after plating using Trizol according to the manufacturer's instructions. For Affymetrix array analysis, approximately 5-10 million adherent microglia cells were used per isolation. Precipitated total RNA was stored as a pellet in 70% ethanol at -80C until it was solubilized for array and RT-PCR experiments. The integrity of RNA was evaluated with an RNA 6000 nano assay kit and Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent) to visualize and compare 18S and 28S rRNA bands prior to cDNA and cRNA probe synthesis.","Sample Processing - Mixed glia were grown in Advanced D-MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone), glutamine, and antibiotics (DMA5) until cells reached approximately 50% confluence (7-10 days in culture) at which time they were infected with the non-neurovirulent ecotropic murine leukemia virus Fr57E at a multiplicity of infection of ~1 infectious unit per cell in the presence of 8 µg/ml of polybrene.

Briefly, brains were triturated, passed through a 70 µm nylon mesh filter, treated for 5 minutes at 37C with 0.25% Trypsin / 1 mM EDTA, and then quenched by the addition of newborn calf serum (Hyclone) to 2%. Mixed CNS cells were plated in T75 Corning flasks (approximately 1 brain equivalent per flask) in Advanced D-MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum, 4 mM glutamine, penicillin and streptomycin (DMA5). After 7-10 days in culture, when the mixed glia reached approximately 50% confluence, the cultures were infected with FrCasE or Fr57E MLVs or mock infected at a MOI of ~1 in the presence of 8 µg/ ml of polybrene. After 1 hour exposure to virus/polybrene, medium was changed to DMA5 supplemented with 0.5 ng/ml GM-CSF to enhance the proliferation of microglia.  When abundant phase bright cells could be observed over a confluent mixed glial monolayer, microglia were isolated by shake off, plated on fresh 10-cm Corning tissue culture plates for 1 hour, followed by 3X PBS washes to remove non-adherent cells. Parallel cultures of adherent cells were routinely checked for purity using antibodies directed against F4/80, and CD11b, by indirect immunofluorescence. The presence of virus infection was determined by staining microglia with monoclonal antibodies that were specific to either CasBrE or Friend Env. All microglial cultures tested were determined to be greater than 98% pure with essentially 100% infection by the appropriate virus.","Sample Processing - Mixed glia were grown in Advanced D-MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone), glutamine, and antibiotics (DMA5) until cells reached approximately 50% confluence (7-10 days in culture) at which time they were infected with the highly neurovirulent ecotropic murine leukemia virus FrCasE at a multiplicity of infection of ~1 infectious unit per cell in the presence of 8 µg/ ml of polybrene.

The scanned images were analyzed using programs resident in GeneChip Operating System v1.2 (GCOS; Affymetrix). Sample loading and variations in staining were standardized by scaling the average of the fluorescent intensities of all genes on an array to a constant target intensity of 250 for all arrays used. The expression data were analyzed as previously described (Lockhart et al, 1996, Nat. Biotechnol. 14:1675-1680). The signal intensity for each gene was calculated as the average intensity difference, represented by [(PM - MM)/(number of probe pairs)], where PM and MM denote perfect-match and mismatch probes.","Assay Data Transformation - Title: Affymetrix CHP Analysis (ExpressionStat). Description:"],"omics_type":["Metabolomics","Unknown","Transcriptomics","Genomics","Proteomics"],"instrument_platform":["418 [Affymetrix]"],"pubmed_abstract":["<h4>Background</h4>Certain murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) are capable of inducing progressive spongiform motor neuron disease in susceptible mice upon infection of the central nervous system (CNS). The major CNS parenchymal target of these neurovirulent retroviruses (NVs) are the microglia, whose infection is largely coincident with neuropathological changes. Despite this close association, the role of microglial infection in disease induction is still unknown. In this paper, we investigate the interaction of the highly virulent MLV, FrCasE, with microglia ex vivo to evaluate whether infection induces specific changes that could account for neurodegeneration. Specifically, we compared microglia infected with FrCasE, a related non-neurovirulent virus (NN) F43/Fr57E, or mock-infected, both at a basic virological level, and at the level of cellular gene expression using quantitative real time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and Afffymetrix 430A mouse gene chips.<h4>Results</h4>Basic virological comparison of NN, NV, and mock-infected microglia in culture did not reveal differences in virus expression that provided insight into neuropathogenesis. Therefore, microglial analysis was extended to ER stress gene induction based on previous experiments demonstrating ER stress induction in NV-infected mouse brains and cultured fibroblasts. Analysis of message levels for the ER stress genes BiP (grp78), CHOP (Gadd153), calreticulin, and grp58 in cultured microglia, and BiP and CHOP in microglia enriched fractions from infected mouse brains, indicated that FrCasE infection did not induce these ER stress genes either in vitro or in vivo. To broadly identify physiological changes resulting from NV infection of microglia in vitro, we undertook a gene array screen of more than 14,000 well-characterized murine genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs). This analysis revealed only a small set of gene expression changes between infected and uninfected cells (<18). Remarkably, gene array comparison of NN- and NV-infected microglia revealed only 3 apparent gene expression differences. Validation experiments for these genes by Taqman real-time RT-PCR indicated that only single Ig IL-1 receptor related protein (SIGIRR) transcript was consistently altered in culture; however, SIGIRR changes were not observed in enriched microglial fractions from infected brains.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The results from this study indicate that infection of microglia by the highly neurovirulent virus, FrCasE, does not induce overt physiological changes in this cell type when assessed ex vivo. In particular, NV does not induce microglial ER stress and thus, FrCasE-associated CNS ER stress likely results from NV interactions with another cell type or from neurodegeneration directly. The lack of NV-induced microglial gene expression changes suggests that FrCasE either affects properties unique to microglia in situ, alters the expression of microglial genes not represented in this survey, or affects microglial cellular processes at a post-transcriptional level. Alternatively, NV-infected microglia may simply serve as an unaffected conduit for persistent dissemination of virus to other neural cells where they produce acute neuropathogenic effects."],"study_type":["transcription profiling by array"],"species":["Mus musculus"],"pubmed_title":["Gene expression profiling of microglia infected by a highly neurovirulent murine leukemia virus: implications for neuropathogenesis"],"pubmed_authors":["Ying Li","William Lynch","Derek Dimcheff","Angelo DeLucia","Dimcheff DE, Volkert LG, Li Y, DeLucia AL, Lynch WP","L.
