Project description:Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains that produce both heat-stable (ST) and heat-labile (LT) enterotoxins cause severe post-weaning diarrhea in piglets. However, the relative importance of the individual enterotoxins to the pathogenesis of ETEC infection is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effect on virulence of an F4+ ETEC strain when removing some or all of its enterotoxins. Several isogenic mutant strains were constructed that lack the expression of LT in combination with one or both types of ST enterotoxins (STa and/or STb). Host early immune responses induced by these mutant strains 4h after infection were compared to the wild type strain GIS26 Â (O149:F4ac+, Â LT+ Â STa+ Â STb+). At the same time, the immune response of this wild type ETEC strain was compared to the mock-infected control, demonstrating the expression of porcine inflammatory response genes. For these purposes, the small intestinal segment perfusion (SISP) technique and microarray analysis were used and results were validated by qRT-PCR. We also measured net fluid absorption of pig small intestinal mucosa 4h after infection with wild type ETEC, the mutant strains and PBS (mock-infected). These data indicate an important role for STb in inducing small intestinal secretion early after infection. The microarray analysis of the different mutant strains also revealed an important role for STb in ETEC-induced immune response by the significant differential regulation of immune mediators like matrix metalloproteinase 3, interleukin 1 and interleukin 17. We conclude that STb can play a prominent role in ETEC-induced secretion and early immune response. In three pigs, 6 different treatments were performed. These treatments consisted of 4 mutant enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli GIS26 strains, GIS26 wild type strain, or PBS control. Per pig, the small intestine was divided into 6 loops with an interloop in between to avoid cross-contamination. In conclusion, every pig received each of the 6 treatments ad random.

Project description:Objective : To study molecular changes in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of the tibial plateau from mice deficient in frizzled related protein (Frzb) compared to wild-type mice by transcriptome analysis. Methods : Gene-expression analysis of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of 3 wild-type and 3 Frzb-/- mice was performed by microarray. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes between 3 wild-type and 2 Frzb-/- samples was explored with PANTHER, DAVID and GSEA bioinformatics tools. Activation of the WNT pathway was analyzed using western blot. The effects of Frzb gain and loss of function on chondrogenesis and cell proliferation was examined using ATDC5 micromasses and mouse ribcage chondrocytes. Results : Extracellular matrix-associated integrin and cadherin pathways, as well as WNT pathway genes were upregulated in Frzb-/- samples. Several WNT receptors, target genes, and other antagonists were upregulated, but no difference in active β-catenin was found. Analysis of ATDC5 cell micromasses overexpressing FRZB indicated an upregulation of aggrecan and Col2a1, and downregulation of molecules related to damage and repair in cartilage, Col3a1 and Col5a1. Silencing of Frzb resulted in downregulation of aggrecan and Col2a1. Pathways associated with cell cycle were downregulated. Ribcage chondrocytes derived from Frzb-/- mice showed decreased proliferation compared to wild-type cells. Conclusions : Our analysis provides evidence for tight regulation of WNT signaling, shifts in extracellular matrix components and effects on cell proliferation and differentiation in the articular cartilage - subchondral bone unit in Frzb-/- mice. These data further support an important role for FRZB in joint homeostasis and highlight the complex biology of WNT signaling in the joint. Gene-expression analysis of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone of 3 wild-type and 3 Frzb-/- mice was performed by microarray. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes between 3 wild-type and 2 Frzb-/- samples was explored with PANTHER, DAVID and GSEA bioinformatics tools.

Project description:Lymph node involvement is the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer, but little is known about the underlying molecular changes. First, to identify a molecular signature associated with nodal metastasis, gene expression analysis was performed on a homogeneous group of 96 primary breast tumors, balanced for lymph node involvement. Each tumor was diagnosed as a poorly differentiated, estrogen positive, her2-neu negative invasive ductal cancer. (Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 microarray chips). A model, including 241 genes was built and validated on an internal and external dataset performed with Affymetrix technology. All samples used for validation had the same characteristics as the initial tumors. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the internal dataset was 0.646 and 0.651 for the external datasets. Thus, the molecular profile of a breast tumor reveals information about lymph node involvement, even in a homogeneous group of tumors. However, an AUC of 0.65 indicates only a weak correlation. Our model includes multiple kinases, apoptosis related and zinc ion binding genes. Pathway analysis using the Molecular Signatures Database revealed relevant gene sets (BAF57, Van 't Veer). Next, miRNA profiling was performed on 82/96 tumors using Human MiRNA microarray chips (Illumina). Eight miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed according to lymph node status at a significance level of 0.05, without correcting for multiple testing. The analysis of the inverse correlation between a miRNA and its computationally predicted targets point to general deregulation of the miRNA machinery potentially responsible for lymph node invasion. In conclusion, our results provide evidence that lymph node involvement in breast cancer is not a random process. Gene expression profiling: A training set of 96 patients and an independent internal dataset of 20 patients balanced for lymph node involvement was selected from the multidisciplinary breast centre database miRNA profiling not provided in this Series.

Project description:In order to elucidate the molecular mechanism of auxin-induced mesocotyl elongation, gene expression profiling analyses were performed in a deep-sowing tolerant maize inbred line 3681-4. Gene expression studies combing Affymetrix GeneChip analysis and Real-time PCR were employed to determine the molecular mechanism underlying IAA promotion of maize mesocotyl elongation. Under deep-sowing condition, IAA is transported by auxin transporter-like protein 1 and binds to auxin binding protein ABP20, which results in degradation of Aux/IAA and de-repressing of auxin-inducible genes. Then, transcriptional factor such as MYB, kinase such as LRR, fructose and mannose metabolism and so on are activated. Finally, genes involved in cell wall synthesis and modification are expressed so that mesocotyl elongation of 3681-4 is promoted. Furthermore, gene expression of a key enzyme ACO in ethylene biosynthesis and ethylene receptor ETR2 were up-regulated after the treatment with 10-4 M IAA, which suggested that mesocotyl elongation of 3681-4 inclined to be inhibited when the concentration of applied IAA was increased from 10-4 M to 10-3 M. In two independent experiments, we generate 10-day-old maize mesocotyl-specific gene expression profiles through comparing genome-wide expression patterns of IAA treatment and TIBA (an auxin transportation inhibitor) treatment under 20 cm deep-sowing condition in darkness by using 17,555 Affymetrix maize whole genome array.

Project description:NK cells are believed to contribute to the control of hepatitis C virus infection and pathogenesis of liver disease. Standard treatment of both acute and chronic hepatitis C is based on the administration of interferon alpha, however, the effects of type I interferons on human NK cells have not been studied in the context of hepatitis C. We therefore first performed a microarray screen for genes differentially regulated in human NK cells after stimulation of PBMC with recombinant interferon alpha-2b. One of the genes upregulated was TRAIL which was confirmed in vitro on the protein level. Keywords: Interferon alpha; human NK cells; stimulation for 6 hours; cells sorted after stimulation of whole PBMC NK cells of PBMC of five healthy controls have been either isolated directly or after culturing for 6h in media containing 10% human AB serum supplemented with 1 and 100 ng/ml recombinant IFNa-2b. RNA of NK cells of the healthy controls was isolated and RNA was pooled for the hybridization.

Project description:The aim of our work was the comparison of human and mouse gene expression data and to identify a conserved breast tumor gene set. The results encourage the usefulness of transgenic mice as a model for human breast cancer formation and therapy. Keywords: Comparison of gene expression data The aim of our work was to establish a database for breast cancer gene expression data in order to compare human and mouse breast cancer. We identified human and mouse homologues genes and compared the expression profile of 24 human breast tumors with six WAP-SVT/t breast tumors (WAP-SVT/t animals, line 8). Our studies confirmed the heterogeneity in gene expression of human as well as mouse breast cancer cells. However, 63 genes were found to be differentially expressed (upregulated: 40; downregulated: 23 genes) in at least 75% of the breast tumors of both species.

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify co-expressed genes downstream of Atonal and Senseless. These gene lists are used as candidate target genes (technically: as foreground sets) in computational predictions of cis-regulatory elements using the cisTargetX method (http://med.kuleuven.be/cme-mg/lng/cisTargetX). Together, the gene expression results and cis-regulatory predictions, yield a gene regulatory network underlying the early events in retinal differentiation. Predicted cis-regulatory interactions have been validated extensively in vivo using enhancer reporter assays and genetic perturbations. Six samples were analyzed for Atonal gain-of-function (GOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs of third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster, namely three biological repeats for two different Gal4 drivers (Gal4/7 and AtoGal), crossed with UASato. Three samples were analyzed for Atonal loss-of-function (LOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs, namely three biological repeats of ato-/- larvae. Three samples were analyzed for Senseless GOF, namely three biological repeats of atoGal4 crossed with UASsens. Finally, eight control samples were analyzed, namely two biological repeats of four different lines (atoGal4, Gal4/7, UASato, and cantonS wild type).
