<h4>Objective</h4>Vascular endothelial cells must integrate stimuli from multiple sources, including plasma, leukocytes, and neighboring components of the vessel. These stimuli are difficult to recapitulate in vitro. We have developed a method to examine the in vivo regulation of gene expression in endothelial cells and have applied it to a model of sepsis.<h4>Methods and results</h4>We used fluorescent-activated cell sorting to isolate highly purified endothelial cells from the hearts of transg ...[more]

Project description:Enteric pathogens have developed several resistance mechanisms to survive the antimicrobial action of bile. We investigated the transcriptional profile of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strain C6706 under virulence gene inducing conditions, in the presence and absence of bile. Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of 119 genes was affected by bile. The mRNA levels of genes encoding proteins involved in transport was increased in the presence of bile, whereas mRNA levels of genes encoding proteins involved in pathogenesis and chemotaxis was decreased. This study identified genes encoding transcriptional regulators from the TetR family (vexR and breR) and multidrug efflux pumps from the RND superfamily (vexB and vexD [here renamed breB]) that were induced in response to bile. Further analysis regarding vexAB and breAB expression in the presence of various antimicrobial compounds established that vexAB was induced in the presence of bile, SDS or novobiocin, whereas induction of breAB was specific to bile. BreR is a direct repressor of the breAB promoter and is able to autoregulate its own expression, as demonstrated by transcriptional and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Expression of breR and breAB is induced in the presence of the bile salts cholate, deoxycholate or chenodeoxycholate and EMSA showed that deoxycholate is able to abolish formation of BreR-PbreR complexes. We propose that deoxycholate is able to interact with BreR and induce a conformational change that will interfere with its DNA binding ability resulting in breAB and breR expression. These results provide new insight into a transcriptional regulator and a transport system that likely play an essential role in the ability of Vibrio cholerae to resist the action of bile in the host. Keywords: Vibrio cholerae response to bile Three independent experiments were performed for the microarray analysis. From each experiment, RNA was obtained from four different time points and was prepared for hybridization, therefore, a total of 3 slides were analyzed per time point. The growth conditions were as follows; C6706 str2 was grown 15 h in LB medium at 30 degrees C with aeration. The cultures were then diluted 100-fold into AKI medium with, or without, 0.4% crude bile (high bile concentration) and were grown at 37degrees C for 3.5 h stationary followed by 2 h with aeration to induce virulence gene expression. Then the cultures were diluted 100-fold into AKI medium with, or without, 0.02% crude bile (low bile concentration) and were grown at 37 degrees C for 2 h stationary. Samples were obtained from 4 different time points: 2, 4, and 5.5 h from the high bile cultures, and at 2 h from the low bile cultures.

Project description:Oxygen lack of various severity can force many organisms to enter into recoverable hypometabolic states. To better understand how organisms cope with oxygen deprivation, our lab had previously shown that when challenged with anoxia, both the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and embryos of the zebrafish Danio rerio enter into suspended animation, where all life processes that can be observed by light microscopy reversibly halt, pending restoration of oxygen. Here, we show that both sporulating and vegetative cells of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae also enter into a similar state of suspended animation when made anoxic on a non-fermentable carbon source. Transcriptional profiling using cDNA microarrays shows upregulation of aerobic metabolism genes in carbon monoxide (CO)-induced anoxia, but not nitrogen (N2) gas-induced anoxia, consistent with the known oxygen-mimetic effects of CO. Our results lead us to propose a model for oxygen-regulated gene expression in yeast where two oxygen-sensitive mechanisms operate simultaneously, such that treatment with N2 results in both mechanisms signaling a lack of oxygen, while treatment with CO results in one sensing mechanism signaling a lack of oxygen, while the other signals an abundance of oxygen. Cells were pregrown on glucose media. Cells were then plated onto nylon membranes on acetate solid media and made anoxic using either pure nitrogen or carbon monoxide. Cells were collected at 15, 30, 45, 60, 120 minutes and 24 hours after initiation of gas exposure. Reference samples were derived from cells on acetate in room air for corresponding time point. Six CO-treated samples were compared to room air references and six nitrogen-treated samples were similarly compared to room air references.

Project description:Yeast cells can be affected during their growth to several stress conditions. One of the most known and characterised is the osmotic stress and most of the studies about osmotic sterss response in yeast have been focused on salt or sorbitol stress. However, during yeast growth in industrially relevant processes (for instance throughout alcoholic fermentation on the must to produce alcoholic beverages) the osmotic stress is mainly due to the high sugar(in particular glucose) concentration (200-250 g/L). In this study we want to know the transcriptional response of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae when it was grown in a medium with high glucose concentration. For this aim we have grown yeast in YP medium containing 2% of glucose in cultures overnight and after that we diluted this cultures to an OD600 of 0.1 in two differents mediums: YP containing 2% or 20% of glucose.One hour later of inoculation we collect the cells and quikly frozen in liquid nitrogen. We extracted the total mRNA of the cells and after that we did the microarrays, comparing cells were grown in YP2 media against the cells were grown in YP20 media.

Project description:This experiment was used to determine the effect of a botanical insecticide upon gene expression profiles in Drosophila melanogaster. Adult female Drosophila (oregon-R strain) were treated with an ethylacetate extract of Piper nigrum (Piperaceae) seeds formulated in 99% ethanol. Treatment was topical, using a Potter's tower to administer a total of 2 mL of a 0.9mg/mL concentration. Control treatment was identical except flies were treated with 99% ethanol as a solvent control. Gene expression was studied four hours post-treatment. The design is a direct comparison between total RNA of treated and untreated insects. Sample size is two and two reverse label hybridizations were done. Each sample is a pool of 240 insects which received the same treatment simultaneously.

Project description:This experiment was intended to determine if topical exposure to ethanol led to significant changes in gene expression in adult Drosophila melanogaster. It was determined that topical exposure to ethanol did not lead to a strong differential expression of genes in Drosophila after 4 hours. The effect of topical treatment with 99% ethanol was compared to the effect of a water treatment which was used as a control and the differential expression between these two treatments was assessed four hours after treatment. Two biological replicates of each treatment were compared for a total of two microarray hybridizations

Project description:The HIVEP/ZAS/Schnurri genes encode large zinc finger proteins that regulate gene expression through DNA binding to the kappaB motif. The ZAS proteins have also been shown to associate with signaling molecules to regulate the TNFa and TGFb signaling pathways. Because ZAS3 transcript and protein expression is rapidly abrogated in primary lymphocytes upon tissue culture, we have generated a ZAS3-null mouse model to study the physiological function of ZAS3. Mice with targeted disruption of ZAS3 are viable with life span comparable to controls. Additionally, the gross anatomy and histology of the major organs, proliferation rates of splenocytes and thymocytes, and the diversity of the TCRb chains of ZAS3 mice are comparable to wild-type. However, compared to wild-type mice, there are decreased CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD4+CD69+ thymocyte populations. Additionally, CD44hi/CD62Llo subset and CD25 and CD69 expression are increased in splenocytes of ZAS3 mice. Microarray analysis validated by real time PCR revealed changes in the expression level of specific transcripts in ZAS3-null thymus, including several proteins in the G-protein coupled olfactory receptor family. Furthermore, EMSA shows that disruption of ZAS3 results in varying changes in binding activities towards NF-kB and AP1 binding sites. Other phenotypes observed in the ZAS3 mice include generalized increased bone density in older animals and infertility in females. As with ZAS2/shn-2 mice, disruption of ZAS3 is not lethal and does not grossly affect development or homeostasis. We propose that the ZAS proteins likely have overlapping functions, which may be uncovered with deletion of multiple ZAS genes in a single animal. Experiment Overall Design: Five independent microarray hybridizations were performed with thymocytes isolated from sex- and age-matched mutant and wild-type littermates at 6-8 weeks of age. The Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarray (G4121A) containing over 20,000 60-mer oligonucleotide probes representing mouse genes, ESTs and EST clusters was used (Agilent, Cincinnati, OH). Probe labeling and hybridization were preformed by the Microarray Core Faculty (Columbus Childrenâs Research Institute) following the manufacturer's protocols. Briefly, cDNA probes were synthesized with Superscript III, oligo-dT primers and dNTPs supplemented with amino-allyl-UTP to improve hybridization characteristics and stability. After purification, cDNA samples from mutant or control mice were labeled with Cy3 or Cy5, respectively, and hybridized to the microarray for 14 hours at 48o C. Slide image was acquired using an Affymetrix 428 scanner with gain settings set so that 95% of spots were below saturation to yield the maximum dynamic range within an experiment. Images were converted into â.gprâ files using GenePix software (Axon, Union City, CA). Data were analyzed using GeneTraffic 2.6 software (Iobion, La Jolla, CA). Lowess-global normalization was applied to all experiments. Flagging parameters were set as spot intensity lower than the intensity of local spot background, spot intensity lower than average background, and raw spot intensity less than 100. Flagged spots were not included in normalization or aggregate calculations. Only genes that were induced or repressed 1.5-fold in at least four of the five independent analyses and hybridization were targeted for potential further study.

Project description:Biallelic inactivating mutations of the transcription factor 1 gene (TCF1), encoding hepatocyte nuclear factor 1a (HNF1a), were identified in 50% of hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) phenotypically characterized by a striking steatosis. To understand the molecular basis of this aberrant lipid storage, we performed a microarray transcriptome analysis validated by quantitative RT-PCR, western-blotting and lipid profiling. In mutated HCA, we showed a repression of gluconeogenesis coordinated with an activation of glycolysis, citrate shuttle and fatty acid synthesis predicting elevated rates of lipogenesis. Moreover, the strong dowregulation of L-FABP suggests that impaired fatty acid trafficking may also contribute to the fatty phenotype. In addition, transcriptional profile analysis of the observed deregulated genes in non-HNF1a-mutated HCA as well as in non-tumor livers allowed us to define a specific signature of the HNF1a-mutated HCA. In theses tumors, lipid composition was dramatically modified according to the transcriptional deregulations identified in the fatty acid synthetic pathway. Surprisingly, lipogenesis activation did not operate through SREBP-1 and ChREBP that were repressed. We conclude that steatosis in HNF1a-mutated HCA results mainly from an aberrant promotion of lipogenesis that is linked to HNF1a inactivation and that is independent of both SREBP-1 and ChREBP activation. Finally, our findings have potential clinical implications since lipogenesis can be efficiently inhibited by targeted therapies. Keywords: Disease state analysis In a first experiment, microarray analyses were applied to 8 HNF1-alpha mutated HCA and their corresponding non-tumor livers using cDNA in-house manufactured arrays following a randomized and blinded unbalanced design. RNA labelling, hybridization and analysis of fluorescence was carried out, as described in [Graudens et al., Genome Biol 2006, 7: R19; PMID: 16542501], considering that uneven numbers of samples were randomly allocated to each of the engineers who were not aware of sample phenotypes. To assess data reproducibility and minimize dye bias effects, each of the samples was measured four times, twice with Cy3 and twice with Cy5. To ensure robustness and flexibility in data analysis, a reference design was used with a universal reference sample (Stratagene, USA) serving as a baseline for the comparisons of tumor samples. Hybridizations were performed onto an 11K human array (11K_VJF-ARRAY, GPL3282), which provides a genome-wide coverage of functional pathways. Raw data were obtained using the ArrayVisionM-bM-^DM-" 7.0 software (Imaging Research Inc., USA); the resulting 3.2x106 hybridization data points collected from 32 arrays were stored in a MIAME-compliant database and pre-processed for normalization and filtering as described in [Graudens et al., Genome Biol 2006, 7: R19; PMID: 16542501]. In a second experiment, HG-U133A Affymetrix GeneChipTM arrays were used to compare the expression profiles of 5 HNF1-alpha mutated HCA and 4 non related non-tumor livers. RNA labelling, hybridization and analysis were carried out following the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions(Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Raw data were obtained by using Microarray Suite 5.0 (MAS5) software, embedded in the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software (Santa Clara, USA); the resulting raw numerical data (CEL files) - available as supplementary files - collected from 9 Affymetrix GeneChips were pre-processed for normalization and filtering as described in [Rebouissou et al., J Biol Chem 2007, in press; PMID: 17379603]. A platform-dependant statistical comparison was performed considering HNF1 alpha-mutated HCA versus non tumor liver tissues, using multiple testing procedures to evaluate statistical significance for differentially expressed genes, as described in [Graudens et al., Genome Biol 2006, 7: R19; PMID: 16542501] and in the supplemental experimental procedures in [Rebouissou et al., J Biol Chem 2007, in press; PMID: 17379603]. Thus, a combined cross-platform analysis was done considering the UGCluster Identifiants as a common primary key (Unigene Build184-June05). Additional information on the procedures is provided in the supplemental experimental procedures in [Rebouissou et al., J Biol Chem 2007, in press; PMID: 17379603].

Project description:Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for vascular plants. Boron works to build the cell wall structure by forming borate ester cross-links with pectin, and the deficiency of this element brings about oxidative damage and cell death. However, the process via which B deficiency leads to such serious damage has not been well understood. We investigated the temporal changes in metabolism of B-deprived cultured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cells by analyzing their gene expression using cDNA microarray. Three-day-old cells were deprived of B by washing with and transferred to B-free growth media ("-B" cells). Cells similarly treated with standard growth media were employed as a control for the effects of mechanical stress ("+B cells"). Cells were sampled at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 36 h after transfer to the B-free or standard media. Cells without washing treatment were also included in the analysis ("before-treatment cells"). Two independent sets of samples were analyzed (replicate 1 and 2).
