Project description:Analysis of gene expression profiles in Induced T-to-Natural Killer (ITNK), compared to DN3 parental T cells and IL-2-expanded NK cells (LAK). The hypothesis tested in the present study was that gene expression profiles of ITNK that were derived from DN3 T cells after deletion of Bcl11b were more similar to LAK, rather than DN3 T cells. Results provide important information of the ITNKs, such as canditate genes regulated by Bcl11b, up-regulated important genes expressed in NK cells, and down-regulated T cell genes. Total RNA obtained from DN3-derived ITNKs in vitro compared to DN3 parental T cells and LAKs.

Project description:This study aimed at investigating the impact of chronic ingestion of sebacic acid (SA), a 10 carbons medium-chain dicarboxylic acid, on glycemic control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (db/db mice). Three groups of 15 mice were fed for 6 weeks either a chow diet (Ctrl), or a chow diet supplemented with 1.5% or 15% (SA1.5% and SA15% resp.) energy from SA. Fasting glycemia was measured once a week and HbA1c before and after supplementation. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at the end of the supplementation. Gene expression was determined by transcriptomic analysis on the liver of the Ctrl and SA15% groups. Results-After 42 days of supplementation, fasting glycemia and HbA1c were ~70% and ~25% lower in the SA15% group compared to other groups showing a beneficial effect of SA on hyperglycemia. During OGTT, blood glucose area under the curve (AUC) was reduced after SA15% compared to other groups. This effect was associated with a tendency for an improved insulin response. In the liver, Pck1 and FBP mRNA were statistically decreased in the SA15% compared to Ctrl suggesting a reduced hepatic glucose output induced by SA. Conclusions-Dietary supplementation of SA largely improves glycemic control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. This beneficial effect may be due (1) to a reduced hepatic glucose output resulting from transcriptional down regulation of key gluconeogenesis genes and (2) to an improved glucose induced-insulin secretion.

Project description:Comparison of gene expression differences between Dnmt3L heterozygous and wildtype pachytene spermatocytes, and similarly between Dnmt3L heterozygous and wildtype round spermatids which were isolated from the Dnmt3L knockout mouse line. This array was conducted to address the hypothesis that Dnmt3L heterozygosity results in deregulated gene expression within spermatocytes and spermatids. Results show that Dnmt3L heterozygosity causes numerous genes to be differentially regulated on a genome-wide level, showing that DNMT3L has an important role in regulating gene expression within these male germ cells. Three preparations each of Dnmt3L purified wildtype spermatocytes, wildtype spermatids, heterozygous spermatids, and two preparations of heterozygous spermatocytes were isolated for a total of 11 samples. Each preparation was made up of cells isolated from 10 mice.

Project description:(original Title) Phenothiazine Neuroleptics Signal To The Human Insulin Promoter As Revealed By A Novel Human b-Cell Line Based High-Throughput Screen. To address the current deficiency in human beta-cell models, we have developed a cell line from human islets in which the expression of insulin and other beta-cell restricted genes are modulated by an inducible form of the bHLH transcription factor E47. In an effort to probe the global pattern of gene expression in T6PNE in an unbiased fashion, oligonucleotide microarray analysis was performed on T6PNE in the presence and absence of E47 induction and compared against human islets. Our analysis reveals that T6PNE express a substantial percentage of the b-cell specific geneset, and that this is further enhanced by the induction of E47. This cell line, T6PNE, was then screened against a library of known drugs for those that increase insulin promoter activity. Interestingly, members of the phenothiazine class of neuroleptics increased insulin gene expression upon short term exposure. Chronic treatment, however, resulted in suppression of insulin promoter activity, consistent with the effect of phenothiazines observed clinically to induce diabetes in chronically treated patients. In addition to providing insights into previously unrecognized targets and mechanisms of action of phenothiazines, the novel cell line described here provides a broadly applicable platform for mining new molecular drug targets and central regulators of beta-cell differentiated function. Gene expression studies in: Three human islet samples; Five T6PNE samples; Seven T6PNE induced with E47.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by cyst formation throughout the kidney parenchyma. It is caused by mutations in either of two genes, PKD1 and PKD2. Mice that lack functional Pkd1 (Pkd1null/null), develop rapidly progressive cystic disease during embryogenesis, and serve as a model to study human ADPKD. We examined the molecular pathways that modulate renal cyst growth in the Pkd1null/null model by performing global gene-expression profiling in embryonic kidneys at day 14 and 17. Gene Ontology and gene set enrichment analysis were used to identify overrepresented signaling pathways in Pkd1null/null kidneys. We found dysregulation of developmental, metabolic, and signaling pathways (e.g. Wnt, calcium, TGF-b and MAPK) in Pkd1null/null kidneys. Total RNA were obtained from kidneys of wild-type and Pkd1null/null animals at embryonic ages 14.5 and 17.5.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells are used in cell therapy and tissue engineering due to their ability to produce different cells types. However, studies of ES cells that are derived from fertilized embryos have raised concerns about the limitations imposed by ethical and political considerations. Therefore, many studies of ES cells use the ES cells that are derived from unfertilized oocytes and adult tissue. Although parthenogenetic embryonic stem (ESP) cells also avoided ethical and political dilemmas and can be used in cell-based therapy, the ESP cells exhibit growth retardation problems. Therefore, to investigate the potential for muscle growth from genetically modified ESP cells, we established four ES cell types, including normal embryonic stem (ESN) cells, ESP cells, ESP cells that overexpress the Igf2 gene (ESI) and ESP cells with down-regulated H19 gene expression (ESH). Using these cells, we examined the expression profiles of genes that were related to imprinting and muscle using microarrays. Total RNA obtained from isolated genetically modified parthenogenetic mouse embryonic stem cells compared to parthenogenetic mouse embryonic stem cells. 2 Biological Replication.

Project description:Abnormal miRNA expression has been linked to the development and progression of human cancers, and such dysregulation can result from aberrant DNA methylation. We combined the analysis of miRNA expression data deposited with empirical DNA methylation data in HCT116 and DKO colon cancer cells (SRA accession# SRP001414) to identify novel DNA methylation regulated miRNAs. ABSTRACT: Abnormal microRNA (miRNA) expression has been linked to the development and progression of several human cancers, and such dysregulation can result from aberrant DNA methylation. While a small number of miRNAs is known to be regulated by DNA methylation, we postulated that such epigenetic regulation is more prevalent. By combining MBD-isolated Genome Sequencing (MiGS) to evaluate genome-wide DNA methylation patterns and microarray analysis to determine miRNA expression levels, we systematically searched for candidate miRNAs regulated by DNA methylation in colorectal cancer cell lines. We found 64 miRNAs to be robustly methylated in HCT116 cells and/or DNMT-1 and 3B doubleknock cells (DKO); eighteen of them were located in imprinting regions or already reported to be regulated by DNA methylation. In the remaining 46 miRNAs, expression levels of 18 were consistent with their DNA methylation status. Finally, 10 miRNAs were up-regulated by 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine treatment and identified to be novel miRNAs regulated by DNA methylation. Moreover, we demonstrated the functional relevance of these epigenetically silenced miRNAs by ectopically expressing select candidates, which resulted in inhibition of growth and migration of cancer cells. Our study also provides a reliable strategy to identify DNA methylation-regulated miRNAs by combining DNA methylation profiles and expression data. [miRNA expression]: Total RNA was extracted from 3 biological replicate sets of HCT116 and DMNT-1 and 3B double knock out HCT116 (DKO) colorectal cancer cells.

Project description:Generation of effective immune responses requires expansion of rare antigen-specific CD4+ T cells. The magnitude of the response is ultimately determined by proliferation and survival. Both processes are tightly controlled to limit responses to innocuous antigens. Sustained expansion occurs only when innate immune sensors are activated by microbial stimuli or by adjuvants, which has important implications for vaccination. The molecular identity of the signals controlling sustained T cell responses is not fully clear. Here we describe a prominent role for the Notch pathway in this process. Co-activation of Notch allows accumulation of far greater numbers of activated CD4+ T cells than stimulation via T cell receptor and classical co-stimulation alone. Notch does not overtly affect cell cycle entry or progression of CD4+ T cells. Instead, Notch protects activated CD4+ T cells against apoptosis after an initial phase of clonal expansion. Notch induces a broad anti-apoptotic gene expression program, which protects against intrinsic as well as extrinsic apoptosis pathways. Both Notch1 and Notch2 receptors and the canonical effector RBPJ are involved in this process. Correspondingly, CD4+ T cell responses to immunization with protein antigen are strongly reduced in mice lacking these components of the Notch pathway. Our findings therefore show that Notch controls the magnitude of CD4+ T cell responses by promoting cellular longevity. Naïve CD4+ T cells were activated for 1 day (1 control sample and 1 experimental sample) or 3 days (3 control samples and 3 experimental samples) with antibodies to CD3 soluble and CD28 in the presence of recombinant Delta4-Ig (experimental samples) or control Ig (control samples).
