Alterations in Cell Growth and Signaling in ErbB3 Binding Protein -1 (Ebp1) Deficient Mice

ABSTRACT: Background: The ErbB3 binding protein-1 (Ebp1) belongs to a family of DNA/RNA binding proteins implicated in cell growth, apoptosis and differentiation. However, the physiological role of Ebp1 in the whole organism is not known. Therefore, we generated Ebp1-deficient mice carrying a gene trap insertion in intron 2 of the Ebp1 (pa2g4) gene. Results: Ebp1 -/- mice were on average 30% smaller than wild type and heterozygous sex matched littermates. Growth retardation was apparent from Day 10 until Day 30. IGF-1 production and IGBP-3 and 4 protein levels were reduced in both embryo fibroblasts and adult knock-out mice. The proliferation of fibroblasts derived from Day 12.5 knock out embryos was also decreased as compared to that of wild type cells. Microarray expression analysis revealed changes in genes important in cell growth including members of the MAPK signal transduction pathway. In addition, the expression or activation of proliferation related genes such as AKT and the androgen receptor, previously demonstrated to be affected by Ebp1 expression in vitro, were altered in adult tissues. Conclusions: These results indicate that Ebp1 can affect growth in an animal model, but that the expression of proliferation related genes is cell and context specific. The Ebp1-/- mouse line represents a new in vivo model to investigate Ebp1 function in the whole organism. Isolation of Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts (MEFS) and proliferation assays. Embryos (12.5 days) were minced and incubated in 0.25% trypsin and 5 U of DNAse I for 37º C for 30 min. Dulbecco’s MEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and penicillin and streptomycin were added to the cell suspension and cells centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 min. The pellet was resuspended in medium and cells were grown in MEM and passaged by trypsinization.

Project description:Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) cause lung fibrosis in rodents and exacerbate airway fibrosis in the mouse ovalbumin model of allergic asthma. Interleukin 13 (IL-13) is a key cytokine secreted by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells. IL-13 is up-regulated in human asthma and animal models that activate pro-fibrotic and pro-proliferative cell signaling cascades in human lung fibroblasts (HLF). This study tested the hypothesis that IL-13 alters the gene expression profile of HLF exposed to MWCNT. Carbon black nanoparticles (CBNP) were also compared to MWCNT as they are relatively inert nanoparticles that do not cause fibrosis. Confluent, quiescent cultures of HLF were treated with 10 ng/ml IL-13 or serum-free defined medium (vehicle) for 24 hours prior to treatment with 10 M-BM-5g/cm2 MWCNT or CBNP. At 4, 24, or 48 hours following nanoparticle exposure, total RNA was isolated and gene expression was measured using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133A2.0 Array. The data were analyzed using the JMP Genomics statistical platform. IL-13 and MWCNT each caused changes in the expression of distinct gene subsets over the time-course investigated. The combination of IL-13 and MWCNT resulted in a gene expression profile that was distinct from patterns induced or suppressed by either IL-13 or MWCNT alone. CBNP caused changes in gene expression that were distinct from IL-13 or MWCNT. Interestingly, the combination of IL-13 and MWCNT increased the expression of IL-17A and increased collagen (Col1A1), while MWCNT alone increased interferon-inducible protein-27 (IFI27), suggesting that Th2 microenvironment containing IL-13 shifts MWCNT-induced gene expression from a Th1 to a Th17 gene expression profile. These data provide insight into the mechanisms by which MWCNT alter the biology of fibroblasts during normal and allergic inflammatory conditions. Adult Lung Fibroblasts were treated with 10 M-BM-5g/cm2 MWCNT, CBNP, or vehicle with or without IL-13 for 4 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours.
