Project description:Gene expression changes induced by acute skeletal muscle unloading, which leads to physiological changes including muscle atrophy, fibre-type switching, and loss of ability to transition between lipid and glucose as energy source (metabolic inflexibility), was investigated by hind-limb suspension (HLS) treatment of Male ICR mice (28â32 g body wt; Harlan, Indianapolis, IN). Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarrays were utilised to examine the effects of HLS on mRNA expression profiles of the soleus muscle and the gastrocnemius muscle in the hindlimbs of freely ambulating control and 24h HLS treated mice. Experiment Overall Design: Five independent biological replicates of this experiment (Control and HLS) were carried out.

Project description:Nf-kB activity is associated with the key pathological features of chronic respiratory diseases including epithelial remodelling, excess mucous production, and submucosal gland hyperplasia. However, the role of Nf-kB activity in airway epithelial differentiation remains controversial. In the present study we demonstrate that Nf-kB adaptor protein Myd88 deficiency promotes increased airway submucosal gland abundance and abnormal epithelial differentiation in proximal adult airways. Abnormal airway differentiation was not developmentally determined, became exacerbated following acute lung injury, and did not involve altered epithelial proliferation or apoptosis. Instead, we demonstrate that tracheal Myd88 deficiency promotes upregulation of a unique gene expression profile that includes activation of alternate, Myd88-independent Nf-kB signalling. Finally, we show that these effects are not intrinsically maintained in vitro using an air-liquid interface epithelial culture. This finding indicates that Myd88 deficiency promotes adult airway remodelling by regulating non-epithelial, non-cell autonomous Nf-kB activity. 20 microarray samples of whole trachea RNA in total: 5 samples wildtype control tissue 5 samples Myd88 KO control tissue 5 samples wildtype 3 day polidocanol injury tissue 5 samples Myd88 KO 3 day polidocanol injury tissue

Project description:A number of chronic, age-related diseases are associated with elevated markers of inflammation such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that sedentary individuals with disparate basal serum IL-6 respond differentially to a structured physical activity programme. Gene expression changes in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear cells (PBMC) induced by physical activity was investigated in sedentary, middle-aged men (mean age 52.6 years and BMI 29.1), with relatively high or low basal serum IL-6 levels (mean of 2.13 and 0.59pg/ml respectively), who undertook a 24-week physical activity programme with blood sampling in the pre-exercise period and at the end of 24-weeks prescribed physical activity. AgilentTM Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarrays were utilised to examine the effects of physical activity on mRNA expression profiles of the Peripheral Blood Mononuclear cells (PBMC) at 2 time points (pre-exercise, and after 24 weeks physical activity. There were 6 individuals per group.

Project description:A major development in obesity research is the recognition that the condition is characterized by chronic mild inflammation. Within adipose tissue, this involves the infiltration of macrophages as well as a direct inflammatory response of adipocytes. This study has used Agilent whole-genome microarrays to examine the effects of macrophage-conditioned medium on the global inflammatory response of human adipocytes. Human adipocytes (SGBS cells), differentiated in culture, were treated with macrophage (U937 cells) conditioned media for 4 or 24 h. Control SGBS cells were treated with unconditioned media (control) or RPMI media alone to control for differences in media used to culture U937 cells. There were 6 replicates per group.

Project description:Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) are crucial in the genesis and progression of tumors. Cervical CAFs (C-CAFs) are less well characterized. Estrogen (E2) is considered a cofactor in cervical carcinogenesis. We studied the molecular signature of exvivo cultured C-CAFs from 4 early International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO, IB2) and 2 late (IIIA) stage disease using gene expression microarray. We found C-CAFs to be both pro-tumorigenic and moderately inflammatory; late stage C-CAFs were more actively metabolizing, and cycling, but expressed fewer genes related to immune function. We investigated the expression of ERα in exvivo cultured C-CAFs and studied the role of E2 in their biology by gene expression microarray in the presence of two ERα antagonists: ICI 182,780 and Methyl Piperidino Pyrazole (MPP). Both modulated C-CAF function by down regulating genes associated with cell cycle and metabolism, affecting angiogenesis and cancer progression, though their transcriptomes differed. MPP also down regulated genes involved in Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition. Thus, canonical ERα signaling is vital for C-CAF functioning. Interfering with paracrine signaling through fibroblast ERα may be worth exploiting as a targeted therapy in cervical cancer. Gene expression microarray profiling of 4 early-stage E2 (estrogen) treated, 2 late-stage E2 treated, 2 early-stage ICI (ER-alpha antagonist) treated, 2 late-stage ICI treated and 2 early-stage MPP (ER-alpha antagonist) treated cervical cancer CAFs. E2 treated C-CAFs served as control.

Project description:A major development in the study of obesity is the recognition that the condition is characterised by chronic mild inflammation. Within adipose tissue, this involves the infiltration of macrophages, as well as the direct inflammatory response of the adipocytes and pre-adipocytes. This study has used Agilent whole-genome microarrays to examine the effects of macrophage-conditioned medium on the global inflammatory response of human pre-adipocytes. Human pre-adipocytes (SGBS cells) were treated with macrophage (U937 cells) conditioned medium for 24 h. Control pre-adipocytes were treated with unconditioned medium (control) or RPMI-1640 media alone to control for differences in media used to culture the U937 cells. There were 5 biological replicates per group.

Project description:A major development in pigmentation research was the discovery of the involvement of SLC24A5 in natural variation in skin colour. This study used Agilent whole-genome microarrays to examine the impact of SLC24A5 knockdown on the transcriptome of normal human melanocytes derived from lightly and darkly pigmented donors. 2 melanocyte cell lines were treated for 6h, with 2 separate siRNA duplexes to target SLC24A5. Treatment of the cells with a non-targeting siRNA control duplex, lipofectamine transfection reagent alone and unchallenged cells, cultured alongside the cellular treatments comprised the controls for the experiment. All treatments and controls were conducted in triplicate, in both cell lines.

Project description:Obesity is characterised by expansion of white adipose tissue, accompanied by an inflamatory response. It has been proposed that the inflammatory state observed may be linked to relative hypoxia in clusters of adipocytes distant from vasculature. Adipose tissue hypoxia has been observed in both animal models and human studies in obesity, and has been linked to insulin resistance. This study has used Agilent whole-genome microarrays to examine the effects of acute hypoxia on the global gene expression in human adipocytes. Human adipocytes (Zen-bio cells) were incubated in hypoxic conditions (1% O2) for 24 h. Control human adipocytes were incubated under normoxic conditions (21% O2). Eight biological replicates were prepared for each experimental condition, and RNA was pooled from two biological replicates, giving a total of n=4 array replicates.

Project description:Changes in gravitational force such as that experienced by astronauts during space flight induce a redistribution of fluids from the caudad to the cephalad portion of the body together with an elimination of normal head-to-foot hydrostatic pressure gradients. To assess brain gene profile changes associated with microgravity and fluid shift, a large-scale analysis of mRNA expression levels was performed in the brains of 2 weeks control and hindlimb-unloaded (HU) mice using cDNA microarrays. Although to different extent, all functional categories displayed significantly regulated genes indicating that considerable transcriptomic alterations are induced by HU. Interestingly, the TIC class (transport of small molecules and ions into the cells) had the highest percentage of up-regulated genes, while the most down-regulated genes were those of the JAE class (Cell junction, Adhesion, Extracellular Matrix). TIC genes comprised 16% of those whose expression was altered, including sodium channel, nonvoltage-gated 1 beta (Scnn1b), glutamate receptor (Grin1), voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (Vdac1), calcium channel beta 3 subunit (Cacnb3) and others. The analysis performed by GeneMAPP revealed several altered protein classes and functional pathways such as blood coagulation and immune response, learning and memory, ion channels and cell junction. In particular, data indicate that HU causes an alteration in hemostasis which resolves in a shift toward a more hyper-coagulative state with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Furthermore, HU treatment seems to impact on key steps of synaptic plasticity and learning processes. We used brains of four control (C1, C2, C3, C4) and four tail-suspended hindlimb-unloaded (E1, E2, E3, E4) mice to ensure statistical relevance of the study. 60 ug of total RNA extracted in TRIzol from each brain was reversed transcribed into labeled cDNAs using fluorescent Cy5 or Cy3-dUTP (Amersham Biosciences, NJ). Differently labeled cDNAs obtained from a pair of biological replicas were co-hybridized overnight at 50C with a microscope slide spotted with ~ 27,000 mouse cDNA sequences produced by the Microarray Core Facility of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the “multiple yellow” design (i.e.: C1C2, C3C4, E1E2, E3E4), described in Iacobas DA, Fan C, Iacobas S et al., Transcriptomic changes in developing kidney exposed to chronic hypoxia.
