Murine corticotroph pituitary AtT-20 cells: Crh treatment time course

ABSTRACT: As the Crh-system and the HPA-axis are known to be crucially involved in the onset, development and maintainance of psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression and regulate the behavioural and endocrine stress responses the further analysis of Crhr1-dependent signaling cascades is essential to understand the molecular mechanisms behind these psychiatric diseases. In this project, new candidate genes involved in Crhr1-dependent signaling cascades were dissected in the cell line model of AtT-20 cells by transcriptional profiling of mouse pituitary corticotroph cells comparing control untreated AtT-20 cells with AtT-20 cells treated with 100 nM Crh at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Keywords: time course, treatment response Two condition experiment: untreated vs. 100 nM Crh treated AtT-20 cells with a time curve of 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours. Technical replicates: 6 for each time point, including dye-swap each with 3 replicates

Project description:While the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) activates a general stress response by increasing glucocorticoid (Gc) synthesis, biological stress resulting from infections triggers the inflammatory response through production of cytokines. The pituitary gland integrates some of these signals by responding to the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL6 and LIF and to a negative Gc feedback loop. The present work used whole-genome approaches to define the LIF/STAT3 regulatory network and to delineate cross-talk between this pathway and Gc action. Genome-wide ChIP-chip identified 3 449 STAT3 binding sites, whereas 2 396 genes regulated by LIF and/or Gc were found by expression profiling. Surprisingly, LIF on its own changed expression of only 85 genes but the joint action of LIF and Gc potentiated the expression of more than a thousand genes. Accordingly, activation of both LIF and Gc pathways also potentiated STAT3 and GR recruitment to many STAT3 targets. Our analyses revealed an unexpected gene cluster that requires both stimuli for delayed activation: 83% of the genes in this cluster are involved in different cell defense mechanisms. Thus, stressors that trigger both general stress and inflammatory responses lead to activation of a stereotypic innate cellular defense response.
