Project description:Microarray analysis is a useful methodology to identify target genes modulated by anticancer drugs. Here, celecoxib effect on gene expression profiles was evaluated in the modified resistant hepatocyte model. Animals subjected to carcinogenic treatment were fed with diet containing 1500 ppm of celecoxib. Two schemes of celecoxib administration were designed. In the progression protocol, celecoxib was administrated between days 18 and 25 post-cancer initiation, a total of 8 celecoxib treatment days, when well established preneoplastic lesions starts to appear. In the initiation protocol, celecoxib was administrated from one week before until 25 days after of cancer initiation, a total of 32 celecoxib treatment days. A rat group was subjected only to the carcinogenic treatment as cancer positive control. Gene expression profiles of all groups were compared to a negative untreated control. The evaluation of gene expression profiles permitted us to identify new target genes that are modulated by celecoxib treatment. A possible mechanism of celecoxib chemoprevention of hepatocarcinogenesis is proposed. 9 weeks old Sprague Dawley rats, 4 rats per group, were subjected to Semple-Roberts' modified hepatocarcinogenesis protocol and sacrificed 25 days post-initiation. In celecoxib-treated groups, celecoxib was administrated mixed in diet at 1500 ppm. Negative and positive cancer progression controls were included to compare gene expression profiles. Microarray analysis was performed on liver samples, one replicate per rat, using dye swap.

Project description:LEC rats are considered as interesting model for studying hepatitis and development of hepatocarcinogenesis related to copper accumulation and oxidative stress. LEC rats have a mutation in a gene related to liver copper excretion, the Atp7b gene. As a consequence, this rat strain shows an abnormal copper accumulation in the liver. This is believed to be the origin of the acute hepatitis and the subsequent hepatocellular carcinoma that spontaneously develop in these rats. Here, we present the gene expression profiles of LEC rats at different disease stages. LEC rats were classified as normal 6 weeks old (6w), normal 9 weeks old (9w), slight jaundice and jaundice according to age and disease state. D-penicillamine, a copper chelator agent, blocks both hepatitis and tumor development. D-penicillamine-trated LEC rats were used as control rats for gene expression comparison as they showed neither hepatitis development nor tumor marker expression. Gene expression differences in protein metabolism and tumor marker proteins add to the known oxidative stress and inflammation characterization of the hepatitis process, leading to new insights concerning hepatitis and hepatocarcinogenesis development. Keywords: disease state analysis 6 weeks old LEC rats, 6 rats per group, were sacrified at different hepatitis stages. Biochemical and histological analyses were performed in order to classify the rats into normal, slight jaundice or jaundice groups. D-penicillamine-treated LEC rats (100 mg/kg/day p.o.) were used as control rats since they behave as normal rats. Microarray analysis was performed on liver samples, one replicate per rat, using dyes swap.

Project description:Immune traits (ITs) are potentially relevant criteria to characterize individualM-bM-^@M-^Ys immunocompetence. Thus, porcine ITs related to innate and adaptive immunity were studied by functional genomics approaches, with no initial focus on resistance to specific pathogens. Peripheral blood transcriptome was analysed in 60 days old Large White pigs (N=445) 3 weeks after vaccination against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Groups of 4 to 10 animals classified in the extreme tails of CD4-/CD8+and TCRM-NM-3M-NM-4+ cell counts, phagocytosis, in vitro production of IL2, IL10, TNF and IFNG, and anti-Mycoplasma antibodies distributions were selected for transcriptome studies with a porcine generic array enriched with immunity-related genes (SLA-RI/NRSP8-13K). Among the ITs studied, transcriptome analysis revealed differentially expressed genes for CD4-/CD8+cell counts, phagocytosis, and in vitro production of IL2 and IL10. A subset of these genes was confirmed by real time qPCR. Gene set enrichment analysis showed a significant over-representation of immune response functions. An independent set of 74 no overlapping animals was employed for validation and a total of 5 potential gene biomarkers were found for prediction of immunocompetence. These biomarkers performed with 79% sensitivity (95% CI 61% to 97%) and 86% specificity (95% CI 72% to 100%). Considering the observed transcriptome differences in animals with extreme ITs levels, we conclude that gene expression profiling appears promising as a tool for biological monitoring of genetic variance in pigs. Test set: Two-condition experiment (High vs Low) for a total of 8 ITS. Three ITs were measured from total blood and referred to as in vivo ITs. They included the seric levels of IgG directed against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (IgG-Mh), and the cell counts for M-NM-1M-NM-2 T lymphocytes CD4- CD8+ (CD4- CD8+, or M-NM-3M-NM-4 T lymphocytes (TCRM-NM-3M-NM-4+)) . Additionally, five ITs were measured after in vitro tests, and were further referred to as in vitro ITs. They include the phagocytosis capacity (PHAG), and the in vitro production of TNFM-NM-1, IFNM-NM-3, IL2 and IL10 after in vitro stimulation of total blood diluted five times. For each IT included in the present report, pigs were selected at the higher and lower 10% of the Gaussian distribution in order to generate two extreme groups defined as High (H) and Low (L). Groups of 4 to 10 animals classified in the extreme tails of different ITs were selected. A two-channel microarray experiments were carried out using a common reference hybridization design. The standard reference RNA sample was prepared by pooling of total RNAs from different porcine tissues. As the reference is common to all the arrays, this design allowed an indirect comparison between the conditions of interest (H vs L groups). Additionally, in order to provide potential gene biomarkers to produce new insight into pig immunocompetence, the top 50 genes most differentially expressed genes when comparing H vs L groups in CD4-/CD8+ cell counts, phagocytosis, and in vitro production of IL2 and IL10 phenotypes were assessed across 74 animals (experimental animals non included) that were analyzed with the same SLA-RI/NRSP8-13K microarray. Validation set: A total of 74 animals were analyzed in order to validate potential gene biomarkers found in the following immune traits: CD4- CD8+ lymphocyte counts, phagocytosis capacity, IL2 and IL10 production. As no differentially gene expressions were detected between animals with High and Low levels of gamma delta T lymphocyte counts, IgG-Mh, and in vitro production of TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma immune traits, some of them were used in the validation set (n=50). None of experimental animals with extreme CD4- CD8+ lymphocyte counts, phagocytosis capacity, IL2 and IL10 production levels were included were included in the validation set.

Project description:Tiling arrays have been reported as highly relevant tools to improve annotation and identify new transcripts in genome sequences. Our aim was to refine annotation of the Swine Leucocyte Antigen (SLA) complex, which is a gene dense region spanning 2.4 megabases on both sides of the centromere of chromosome 7 with many genes involved in immune response and inflammation. To date, one hundred and fifty-one SLA genes and pseudogenes have been characterized or predicted. A high-density tiling array was produced, which covered the entire Hp1a.0 haplotype sequence and partially the centromeric junction on the q-arm. The array contained 386,620 55-70-mer oligonucleotides designed on both strands and tiled on average every nine bases. It was used to compare the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) either mock-stimulated or stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin for 24 hours. In both conditions, 19% of the probes were expressed among which 47% not previously annotated. In addition to the expected transcripts, segmentation analysis revealed new transcriptional architectures of previously annotated genes, a limited transcription activity in the centromeric junction and frequent transcription in antisense orientation. Differential expression of non-annotated transcripts was detected between non-stimulated and stimulated PBMCs, suggesting a regulatory role during immune cell activation. These results contribute to drawing an extensive transcription map of the SLA complex and to comparative functional mapping between mammals. This kind of approach can be applied to any candidate region of the pig genome in order to carry out a consistent functional annotation. Two-condition experiment, PMA ionomycine stimulated PBMCs vs. Control PBMCs. Biological replicates: 1 control, and 1 PMA ionomycine stimulated from 4 animals independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array. Total 8 slides.

Project description:In this study we have analyzed gene expression and metabolite levels in the livers of male and female Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. We speculated that the sex different development of diabetes in the ZDF animals presents the opportunity to relate gender to diabetes (since only males become diabetic on normal diet). In this model one can search for parameters that distinguish females fed normal diet compared to high fat diet (i.e. components that vary with the development of diabetes) and evaluate if such changes can be related to components that characterize male diabetic animals.. Biological replicates: 4 ZDF female rat livers from rats on a standard diet (SD) and 4 ZDF female rat livers from rats on high-fat diet (HFD) (6 weeks). One replicate per array.
