Project description:Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is a condition that has four symptoms: urgency, urinary frequency, nocturia, and urge incontinence and negatively affects a patient’s life. Recently, it is considered that the urinary bladder urothelium is closely linked to pathogenesis of OAB. However, the mechanisms of pathogenesis of OAB at the molecular level remain poorly understood, mainly as a result of lack of modern molecular analysis. The goal of this study is to identify a potential target protein that could act as a predictive factor for effective diagnosis and aid in the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of OAB syndrome. We produced OAB in a rat model and performed the first proteomic analysis on the mucosal layer (urothelium) of the bladders of normal and OAB rats.

Project description:Urethra was partially ligated and the urinary bladder was removed 10 days or 6 weeks after obstruction. Sham operated rats were used as controls. An addtitonal group of rats were repoerated 6 weeks after surgery and the obstruction was removed. These rats were then sacrificed 10 days after deobstruction. The bladder (including the urothelium) was frozen and used for RNA extraction. Urinary bladders from sham-operated, 10 days and 6 weeks after obstruction and rats 10 days after deobstruction were compared. mRNA and microRNA were both analyzed.

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are important in a number of physiological systems and organs, including the cardiovascular system. The hallmark property of differentiated SMCs is the ability to contract, but contractile SMCs themselves show a range of phenotypes allowing prolonged tonic contraction in vascular smooth muscle or rapid phasic contraction in tissues such as bladder. Another distinctive characteristic, in contrast with terminally differentiated striated muscle cells, is that SMCs exhibit phenotypic plasticity. Vascular SMCs are able to modulate their phenotype along a continuum between a contractile phenotype, characteristic of healthy blood vessels, and a more proliferative âsyntheticâ phenotype, so-named for the enhanced synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix components. Synthetic phenotype cells are found in a number of pathological situations such as atherosclerosis and arterial injury. We used mouse exon-junction (MJAY) arrays to gain insights into both the global contribution of alternative splicing events in re-shaping the transcriptome of dedifferentiating mouse aorta and bladder SMCs, and into the underlying regulatory mechanisms of the alternative splicing program. Affymetrix splice junction arrays (MJAY) were used to profile changes in both alternative splicing and transcript levels during the phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells when placed in culture. RNA extracted from intact aorta and bladder smooth muscle tissue was used for differentiated samples. For dedifferentiated, proliferative samples smooth muscle cells were enzymatically dispersed and grown in tissue culture for a week. Triplicate RNA samples were prepared from smooth muscle tissue of mouse aorta and bladder (differentiated) and from smooth muscle cells from each tissue cultured for 7 days (proliferative). The samples allowed comparison of alternative splicing (and other transcriptome) changes between differentiated and proliferative smooth muscle cell samples from two distinct types of smooth muscle cell, as well as allowing direct comparison of aorta (tonic smooth muscle) and bladder (phasic smooth muscle).

Project description:Kruppel-like transcription factor 5 (Klf5) is expressed during late embryogenesis in the forming murine bladder urothelium. Targeted disruption of the Klf5flox alleles by the ShhGfpCre transgene resulted in failure of the bladder urothelium to mature accompanied by hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and vesicoureteric reflux in all E18.5 fetuses. The bladder urothelium did not stratify nor did it express terminal differentiation markers characteristic of basal, intermediate, and umbrella cells including keratins 20, 14, and 5, and uroplakins. At E18.5, an ectopic alpha smooth muscle actin positive layer of cells was identified subjacent to the undifferentiated Klf5-deficient urothelium. The effects of Klf5 deficiency were unique to the urothelium since maturation of the epithelium comprising the bladder neck and urethra were unaffected by the lack of KLF5. mRNA microarray analysis of whole E14.5 control and Klf5 deficient bladders identified Ppar? and Grhl3 as putative downstream intermediary transcription factors that regulate urothelial maturation. Transient transfection assays demonstrated that KLF5 regulated expression of the mGrhl3 promoter. These observations show that alterations in maturation of the bladder urothelium alone are sufficient to induce bladder dysfunction leading to prenatal hydronephrosis. Total RNA from E14.5 whole bladders isolated from Klf5D/D and Klf5+/+ShhGfpCre+ embryos (n=3 samples/genotype, each sample a pool of two bladders) was isolated using the Qiagen MicroRNA Kit. The cDNA was then hybridized according to the manufacturer’s protocol to the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array

Project description:Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features, in which tumor cells show distinct phenotypic states that confer different functional attributes. This functional and morphological heterogeneity characterizes aggressive glioblastoma; however, molecular mechanisms underlying the heterogeneity are poorly understood. Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) are considered able to aberrantly differentiate into diverse cell types and may contribute the establishment of tumor heterogeneity. Using the GSC model, we investigated the differentially expressed microRNAs(miRNAs) and associated epigenetic mechanism that regulate the differentiation of GSCs. MiRNA-microarray showed that 13 and 34 miRNAs were commonly upregulated and downregulated in two independent GSC lines during differentiation, respectively. Among those miRNAs, quantitative-PCR analysis showed that miR-1275 was consistently downregulated during the GSC differentiation along with the upregulation of its target, CLDN11, a marker of oligodendroglial-lineage differentiation. Compellingly, inhibition of miR-1275 with specific antisense oligonucleotide (anti-miR-1275) in GSC increased the expression of CLDN11, together with significant growth suppression. Epigenetic analysis revealed that gain of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and loss of H3K9Ac in the pri-miR-1275 promoter were closely associated with the miR-1275 expression. Treatment of 3-Dezaneplanocin-A, an inhibitor of H3K27 methyltransferase, impaired the GSC differentiation in parallel with sustained miR-1275 expression. Our results illuminated the epigenetic regulatory pathways of miR-1275 closely associated with oligodendroglial differentiation, which may contribute to the tissue heterogeneity formation of glioblastomas. Inhibition of miR-1275 induces the GSC differentiation and suppresses tumor cell proliferation, miR-1275 may be a potential therapeutic target for glioblastomas. Human miRNA Microarray V3 kits (G4470C; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California) were used according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocols. This microarray system contains probes for all 866 human and 89 human viral miRNAs reported from the Sanger database v12.0 (http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk/sequences/). Each miRNA species is printed 20 times with replicate probes on the array. Total RNA was isolated with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen).M-cM-^@M-^@One hundred ng of total RNA was labeled with pCp-Cy3 (Agilent Technologies) and 15 units of T4 RNA ligase (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, UK) at 16M-BM-0C for 2 hours. Labeled samples were purified with MicroBio-Spin 6 columns (Bio-Rad, Richmond, CA) and hybridized to microarray at 55 M-BM-0C with rotation at 20 rpm for 20 hours. Microarrays were scanned by an Agilent Scanner (Agilent Scan Control 7.0 software) and analyzed using Agilent Feature Extraction 10.7 software for miRNA microarray.
