Project description:Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is a disease characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, fibrosis, and aberrant systolic and/or diastolic function. We previously developed two transgenic mouse models that carry FHC associated mutations in alpha-tropomyosin (TM): FHC alpha-TM175 mice show patchy areas of mild ventricular disorganization and limited hypertrophy; whereas FHC alpha-TM180 mice exhibit severe hypertrophy and fibrosis and die within 6 months. To obtain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with the early onset of cardiac hypertrophy, we conducted a detailed comparative analysis of gene expression in 2.5-month-old control and FHC alpha-TM175 and alpha-TM180 ventricular tissue. Results show that 754 genes (from a total of 22,600) were differentially expressed between the NTG and the FHC hearts. There are 178 differentially regulated genes between NTG and the FHC alpha-TM175 hearts, 388 genes are differentially expressed between NTG and FHC alpha-TM180 hearts, and 266 genes are differentially expressed between FHC alpha-TM175 and FHC alpha-TM180 hearts. Genes that exhibit the largest increase in expression belong to the secreted/extracellular matrix category, and those with the most significant decrease in expression are associated with metabolic enzymes. Samples used for hybridization consisted of pooled (P) and non-pooled (NP) RNA extracts from the three groups namely NTG, alpha-TM175 and alpha-TM180. Ten hybridization experiments were performed in which each genotypic group was represented by two or more non-pooled (NP) individual RNA extracts and one pooled (P) sample that resulted from combining 20 individual heart extracts

Project description:Experimental Design: 1. The goal of the experiment: Age-Dependent Gene Expression Profiles After Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion: Implications for the AP-1 and Ubiquitin-Proteosome Pathways 2. Brief description of the experiment: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a complication of liver surgery, transplantation and shock. Our previous studies have suggested there is an age-dependent response to I/R. In the present study, we examined global gene expression after liver I/R in young (4-5 weeks) and adult (12-14 months) mice using Affymetrix microarray. Gene expression was filtered based on a change in expression of 1.5-fold relative to respective controls and then analyzed by ANOVA. Seventy-two genes in young mice and 56 genes in adult mice had significantly increased expression. Of these, only 18 were up-regulated in both age groups. In young mice, 289 genes were down-regulated whereas in adult mice, 874 genes were decreased. Of these genes, 175 genes were decreased in both groups. Pathway and network analyses of up- and down-regulated gene lists revealed a number of notable differences between young and adult mice. Of these, we found that genes related to the activating protein-1 (AP-1) pathway were upregulated preferentially in young mice. This corresponded with an increase in AP-1 activation in young versus adult mice. Finally, we found that genes related to the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway were selectively down-regulated in adult mice. This was accompanied by reduced degradation of the inhibitory protein, I?B?, in adult mice. The data demonstrate specific, pathway- and network-related differences in gene expression profiles between young and adult mice in the response to I/R. More specifically, we have identified two pathways that may contribute to the superior response to I/R in young mice which represent potential therapeutic targets. Keywords: treated vs non treated 2 age groups of 6 young and 6 adult mice that underwent either 90 minutes of partial ischemia followed by 1 hour of reperfusion (n=3) or sham operation (n=3) We used microarray to uncover the genomic response after ischemia reperfusion in 2 different age groups

Project description:Experimental Design: 1. The goal of the experiment: Age-Related Genome Expression Profiles During Hepatic Ischemia 2. Brief description of the experiment: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a complication of liver surgery, transplantation and shock and differs with age. In the present study, we sought to determine if the age-dependent response to I/R injury was related to differential gene expression during the ischemic period. Total RNA of young (4-5 weeks) and adult (12-14 months) mice undergoing sham surgery or partial hepatic ischemia for 30, 60, or 90 minutes was analyzed by Affymetrix microarray. Gene expression was filtered based on a change in expression of 1.5-fold relative to respective controls and then analyzed by ANOVA. Significant differences in gene expression were observed between age groups. In young mice, 169 genes were down-regulated, whereas adult mice had 1167 genes down-regulated. Of these, only 28 genes were down-regulated in both young and adult mice. Far fewer genes had increased expression during ischemia. Sixty genes in young mice and 51 genes in adult mice were up-regulated. Of those, none were up-regulated in both young and adult mice. There were no distinct functional patterns of gene regulation in either age group. The data demonstrate significant and widespread changes in hepatic gene expression during the ischemic period that may be important to the age-dependent response to I/R injury. Keywords: treated vs non treated 2 age groups of 12 young and 12 adult mice that underwent either 30, 60 or 90 minutes of partial ischemia (n=3) or sham operation (n=3) We used microarray to uncover the genomic response during different time points of ischemia

Project description:Morphogenesis of epithelial tissues relies on the precise developmental control of cell polarity and architecture. In the early Drosophila embryo, the primary epithelium forms during cellularisation, following a tightly controlled genetic programme where specific sets of genes are up-regulated. Some of them, for instance, control membrane invagination between the nuclei anchored at the apical surface of the syncytium. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of regulated genes during EE. CC10-rtta/teton-IL-13 mice were fed either with doxycycline or regular diet (Dox vs. NODOX). Esophaguses were collected and submitted to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:E. coli K-12 BW25113 mutant strain yncC expression in biofilm cells relative to E. coli wild-type strain expression in biofilm cells. All samples were cultured in LB with glasswool at 37C for 15 hours and E. coli K-12 MG1655 mutant yncC colony cells vs wild type colony cells in LB plates 15h 37C. Quorum-sensing signal autoinducer 2 (AI-2) stimulates Escherichia coli biofilm formation through the motility regulator MqsR that induces expression of the putative transcription factor encoded by yncC. Here we show YncC increases biofilm formation by decreasing mucoidy (corroborated by decreased exopolysaccharide production and increased sensitivity to bacteriophage P1 infection). Differential gene expression and gel shift assays demonstrated that YncC is a repressor of the predicted periplasmic protein-encoding gene ybiM which was corroborated by the isogenic yncC ybiM double mutation which repressed the yncC phenotypes (biofilm formation, mucoidy, and bacteriophage resistance). Through nickel-enrichment microarrays and additional gel shift assays, we found that the putative transcription factor B3023 (directly upstream of mqsR) binds the yncC promoter. Overexpressing MqsR, AI-2 import regulators LsrR/LsrK, and AI-2 exporter TqsA induced yncC transcription whereas the AI-2 synthase LuxS and B3023 repressed yncC. MqsR has a toxic effect on E. coli bacterial growth which is partially reduced by the b3023 mutation. Therefore, AI-2 quorum-sensing control of biofilm formation is mediated through regulator MqsR that induces expression of the transcription factor YncC which serves to inhibit the expression of periplasmic YbiM; this inhibition of YbiM prevents it from overexpressing exopolysaccharide (causing mucoidy) and prevents YbiM from inhibiting biofilm formation. Experiment Overall Design: Strains: E. coli K-12 BW25113 wild-type, mutant yncC Experiment Overall Design: and E. coli K-12 MG1655 wild-type, mutant yncC Experiment Overall Design: Medium: LB Experiment Overall Design: Biofilm grown on glasswool or colony cells growth in LB plates Experiment Overall Design: Time: 15 hours Experiment Overall Design: Temperature: 37C Experiment Overall Design: Cell type: biofilm or colony Experiment Overall Design: For the biofilm arrays in BW25113 background: Experiment Overall Design: Overnight cultures (16 h, 2.5 mL) of wild type E. coli BW25113 and BW25113 yncC in LB and LB with kanamycin (50 μg/mL), respectively, were used to inoculate 250 mL LB with 10 g of glass wool (Corning Glass Works, Corning, NY) for forming biofilm. After incubating at 37°C for 15 h with shaking (250 rpm), biofilm cells were prepared by rinsing and sonicating the glass wool in sterile 0.85% NaCl solution at 0°C as described before. The total RNA was isolated from biofilm cells as described previously. Experiment Overall Design: The E. coli Genechip antisense genome array (P/N 900381, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) containing probes for more than 4200 open reading frames (ORFs) was used to analyze the complete E. coli transcriptome as described previously. Hybridizations were performed for 16 h and the total cell intensity was scaled automatically in the software to an average value of 630. The Gene Expression Technical Manual (Affymetrix) was followed for the procedures of DNA microarrays, and the GeneChip operating software (Affymetrix) was applied to analyze data of DNA microarrays. The data quality was assessed following the manufacturer's guidelines (GeneChip Expression Analysis: Data Analysis Fundamentals; Affymetrix) and also was based on the expected signals of E. coli BW25113 and the yncC mutant genotypes (e.g., signals of the deleted genes, araA and rhaA, were low for both BW25113 and BW25113 yncC, while the signal of yncC was low for the yncC mutant). A gene was identified as differentially-expressed when the P value based on the False Discovery Rate Method was less than 0.05 and the expression ratio was greater than threefold since the standard deviation for the expression ratio for all of genes was 2. Experiment Overall Design: for the colony arrays in MG1655 background: Experiment Overall Design: For the agar biofilm, fresh single colonies of wild-type E. coli MG1655 and MG1655 yncC were re-streaked on LB agar plates, incubated, and about 0.05 g of the colony cultures on LB plate were quickly transferred to 2-mL collection tubes. The total RNA was isolated from these colony cells as described previously. The E. coli GeneChip Genome 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, P/N 900551, Santa Clara, CA) containing 10,208 probe sets for open reading frames, rRNA, tRNA, and intergenic regions for four E. coli strains: MG1655, CFT073, O157:H7-Sakai, and O157:H7-EDL933, was used to analyze the complete E. coli transcriptome. A gene was identified as differentially-expressed when the P value based on the False Discovery Rate Method (Benjamini & Hochberg, 1995) was less than 0.05 and the expression ratio was greater than threefold since the standard deviation for the expression ratio for all of MG1655 genes (except the deleted yncC gene) was 2.

Project description:VS94 gene expression at different time-points in SAPI medium in absence and presence of AI-2 was studied. Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is produced by many species of bacteria, including various commensal bacteria and is involved in inter-species communication. Since, pathogens encounter AI-2 once they enter the human gastro-intestinal tract; we studied the effects of presence of AI-2 on various phenotypes associated with infection and colonization of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) namely, chemotaxis, motility and attachment to HeLa cells. AI-2 attracted EHEC when observed in agarose plug assays and also increased EHEC motility by 1.44-fold. AI-2 also increased EHEC attachment to HeLa cells by 1.6-fold; hence, suggesting that exposure to AI-2 inside the gastro-intestinal tract can play an important role in EHEC colonization. We then investigated the global effects of AI-2 on EHEC gene expression using DNA microarrays at various time-points. We found that AI-2 controls virulence gene expression and several other groups of genes (flagellar genes, iron related genes, biofilm genes etc.) associated with virulence in a time-dependent manner. Hence, through these studies we have shown that AI-2 may be a key component in EHEC infection of human gastro-intestinal tract. Experiment Overall Design: Strain: VS94 (EHEC luxS mutant) Experiment Overall Design: Medium: SAPI Experiment Overall Design: Temperature: 37C Experiment Overall Design: Cell type: Suspension Experiment Overall Design: Chemical: 100 uM AI-2 Experiment Overall Design: Overnight cultures of VS94 were diluted in SAPI medium to a turbidity of 0.1. The cells were allowed to grow to a turbidity of 0.5 at 37 oC and 100 µM AI-2 was added to the culture. In the control flasks, no AI-2 was added. The cultures were then allowed to grow for further 3.5 hours, 4 hours, 4.5 hours and 5.5 hours before cell pellets were collected by centrifugation at the above mentioned time-points and stored at -80oC. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from isolated cell pellets and RNA quality was assessed using gel electrophoresis. E. coli Genome 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, California) containing 10,208 probe sets for all 20,366 genes present in four strains of E. coli, including E. coli O157:H7, were used to profile changes in gene expression using RNA samples for each treatment. Hybridization was performed for 16 hours, and the total cell intensity was scaled automatically in the software to an average value of 500. The data were inspected for quality and analyzed according to the procedures described by the manufacturer (Affymetrix: Data Analysis Fundamentals) which include using premixed polyadenylated transcripts of the B. subtilis genes (lys, phe, thr, and dap) at different concentrations. Genes were identified as differentially expressed if the expression ratio (between AI-2 and control cells at different time-points) was greater than 1.5 (based on the standard deviation between values measuring relative changes in expression) (Ren et al. 2004) and the change in the P value was less than 0.05. The differentially expressed genes were annotated using gene ontology definitions available in the Affymetrix NetAffx Analysis Center (http://www.affymetrix.com/analysis/index.affx).
