MicroRNA expression profile in a murine model of hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We performed miRNA and mRNA profiling at postnatal day 14 and day 29 to compare hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia and wild type. We built potential miRNA-mRNA interaction networks specific to brochopulmonary dysplasia. Replicated time course of mouse lung development at 2 time points (P14, P29). Three replicates per time point for bronchopulmonary dysplasia induced by hyperoxia mouse lung, and two replicates per time point for wild type mouse lung. This dataset represents the miRNA profiling component of the study.

Project description:Background: Nrf2 is an essential cytoprotective transcription factor. However, association of Nrf2 in organ development and neonatal disease is rarely examined. Hyperoxia exposure to newborn rodents generates pulmonary phenotypes which resemble bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) of prematurity. Methods: To investigate the role of Nrf2 in lung maturation and BPD pathogenesis, Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2-/-) and wild-type (Nrf2+/+) neonates were exposed to air or hyperoxia (O2). Transcriptome analysis determined Nrf2-directed mechanisms in premature lung. Lung injury was assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage analysis and histopathology. Results: In Nrf2-/- neonates, basal expression of cell cycle machinery, redox balance, and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism genes were suppressed while immunity genes were overexpressed compared to Nrf2+/+ pups. O2-induced mortality and pulmonary inflammation/injury were significantly higher in Nrf2-/- than in Nrf2+/+. Lung DNA lesion and oxidation were greater in Nrf2-/- than in Nrf2+/+, constitutively and after O2. Nrf2-dependent genes modulated cellular growth/proliferation, defense, immunity, and lipid metabolism against hyperoxia. Bioinformatic elucidation of Nrf2 binding motifs and augmented O2-induced inflammation in genetically deficient neonates validated Gpx2 and Marco as Nrf2 effectors. Conclusion: Overall, Nrf2 in underdeveloped lungs orchestrated cell cycle, morphogenesis, and immunity as well as cellular defense constitutively and under oxidant stress. Results provide putative molecular mechanisms of Nrf2-directed lung alveolarization and BPD of prematurity. PARALLEL study design with 42 samples comparing 14 groups of age (P1 to P4 corresponding to day 0 to day 3 animals), gene, and exposure: (4 groups Nrf+/+ wild type P1-P4 air exposure) (4 groups Nrf -/- knockout P1-P4 air exposure), (3 groups Nrf+/+ wild type P2-P4 with 100 percent O2 (hyperoxia exposure) and 3 groupsNrf -/- knockout P2-P4 with 100 percent O2 (hyperoxia exposure)) Biological replicates: 3 per group
Project description:Background: Metabolic dysregulation has been implicated in bronchopulmonary dysplasia development. Taurine is an essential amino acid for neonates and is critically involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Neonatal tissue obtains taurine mainly through the taurine transporter. The biological role of taurine in neonatal lung development has never been explored. As glucose metabolism mechanistically modulates angiogenesis and angiogenesis is the central player for neonatal lung development, we hypothesize that taurine depletion contributes to bronchopulmonary dysplasia development. Results: Although most genes and proteins for oxidative phosphorylation were enriched in hyperoxia pup lungs, the complex-1 activity decreased. The decrease in taurine-dependent complex-1 core subunits, ND5 and ND6, in hyperoxia lungs reasonably explained the discrepancy. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated decreased lung taurine with increased blood taurine of hyperoxia pups, compatible with the decreased taurine transporter expression. Decreased glycosylation and increased degradation explained the decreased taurine transporter expression. The results of the complementary study using tunicamycin and tauroursodeoxycholic acid studies supported that endoplasmic reticulum stress contributes to decreased taurine transporter expression in hyperoxia lungs. The effect of taurine treatment on reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress, increasing ND5 and ND6 expression, angiogenesis, and, most importantly, the alveolar formation is beneficial to hyperoxia rat pups. Conclusion: Hyperoxia exposure causes endoplasmic reticulum stress, increases taurine transporter degradation, and leads to taurine depletion in the neonatal lungs with subsequent metabolic dysregulation, resulting in poor alveolar formation of the neonatal lungs. We provide evidence of the never-being-reported protective role of taurine in neonatal lung development. The fact that taurine attenuates the severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia by reducing hyperoxia-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction indicates its therapeutic potential for treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Project description:The goal of the project was to delineate sex-specific differences in the neonatal lung exposed to postnatal hyperoxia to model the pathophysiologic mechanisms in the human disease; bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic pulmonary sequela of preterm birth, increases susceptibility to respiratory viral infection. Exposure to hyperoxia of neontal mice (a model of BPD) increases the number of activated, IL-12 producing lung CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs) and augments the inflammatory response to rhinovirus infection. We used microarray analysis to detail the effect of hyperoxia on the gene expression of the two main subsets of lung cDC, including CD103+ DCs and CD11bhi DC. We identified distinct up- and down-regulated genes in response to hyperoxia in both cDC subclasses.
