Alteration of gene expression patterns in the liver and spleen following exposure to nucleoprotein diet in the mouse LPS injection model

ABSTRACT: A diet rich in nucleic acids and protamin protein, termed as nucleoprotein (NP), has been attracting a great deal of attention in food science for its beneficial effects. In the present study, we performed a global gene expression profiling in mice fed with NP diet rich in nucleoproteins from the salmon testis. Since our recent research has revealed anti-inflammatory effect of the NP diet, we induced inflammation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection in the mice for this analysis study. Mice were fed with NP diet for 4 weeks followed by a single injection of LPS. The liver and spleen were removed 6 h post-LPS injection. Total RNA extracted from livers (L) and spleens (S) was pooled in each group (control and NP diet), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K). Results revealed 322 & 702 up (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes in the liver, and 325 & 501 up- and down-regulated genes in the spleen, respectively following NP diet. Analysis of genes related to inflammation suggests increased activity of immune function during acute period of LPS injection, which may contribute to early demise of inflammation. NP diet can be expected to be useful for inhibition of inflammatory reactions whose over-accumulation is thought to be related to the acceleration of aging process. To investigate the effect of NP, we added S-nuclegen® at a concentration of 1.2% into CLEA basic purified diet (CLEA JAPAN, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) known to include nucleic acids (NAs) at much lower amounts than standard diet. By HPLC analysis CLEA basic purified diet (low NP), and 1.2% NP diet included 0.03%, and 0.5% NAs, respectively. Male C57BL/6J mice (7 weeks) were fed with NP diet for 4 weeks followed by a single injection of LPS at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The liver and spleen were removed 6 h post-LPS injection. Total RNA extracted from livers and spleens was pooled in each group (control and NP diet), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K).

Project description:The present study examines the effects of whale meat extract (WME) supplementation on the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) model at the level of learning memory formation and gene expression profiles genome-wide. Our present study builds up on these previous studies by focusing on two sets of experiments examining WME-supplemented diet, on SAMP8 and SAMR1 (senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1) learning and memory deficits (experiment 1) and whole-genome DNA microarray-based transcriptomics profiling in conjunction with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) (experiment 2). We also examined the SAMP8 and SAMR1 mice fed with the regular (control; low-safflower oil, LSO) diets specifically to know the gene profiles in the brain of the SAMP8 mouse. Results revealed that WME supplementation on SAMP8 mouse resulted in an increase in the level of learning memory formation and positive changes in the transcriptome of the brain, suggested through the observation of recovery of gene expressions in the SAMP8 model over the not-supplemented mouse. 6-week-old mice (SAMP8 and SAMR1; CLEA, Tokyo, Japan) were housed at the Animal Institution Facility in Showa University, and maintained in individual cages in a ventilated animal room with controlled temperature and relative humidity under a 12-h light: 12-h dark regime (8:00 AM, lights turned on). Mice were fed chow (CE-2, CLEA Japan) and tap water ad libitum until 24-weeks-old. Then, 24-week-old SAMs mice were given experimental diet, LSO diet as a control diet and WME-supplemented diet, both in a powder form. The WME was made from red meat of Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis), taken from the Japanese Whale Research Program under Special Permit in the Antarctic-Phase II in 2009/2010 by heat, enzyme and drying treatments. The quality standard of WE were measured by Marugei Co. Ltd. (Hyogo, Japan). SAMP8 mice were randomly given LSO or WME diet, respectively. SAMR1 mice were given LSO diet only until 50-weeks-old. The behavioral tests were performed at the timing of 49-weeks-old for 8 days. At the end of the experiment (50 weeks of age) following the behavioral analysis (open field test, Y-maze test, new object recognition test (NOR), and water-filled multiple T-maze) and the last day of the feeding, the mice were removed from their cages, decapitated and their brains carefully removed on ice. The whole brains were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen in a sterile freeze tube and stored at -80ÂºC till extraction of total RNA followed by DNA microarray analysis using a whole-genome mouse chip (Agilent-014868, 4 x 44K (G4122F)) with two-color dye-swap approach in conjunction with IPA bioinformatic analysis. All animal studies were conducted in accordance with the Standards Relating to the Care Management of Experimental Animalsâ (Notice No. 6 of the Office of Prime Minister dated March 27, 1980) and with approval from the Animal Use Committee of Showa University (Approval Number: #04093).

Project description:C57BL/6 mice were fed ad libitum for the first 5 days of the experiments with high fat high cholesterol (HFC) diet only. The next 7 days of the experiments mice were continuously fed on a HFC diet and simultaneously vehicle (control group), fenofibrate (100 mg/kg) or lovastatin (30 mg/kg) were orally daily administered. At the end of the experiment (day 12) fenofibrate and lovastatin significantly decreased plasma LDL levels, while plasma cholesterol levels were significantly decreased by lovastatin only. Gene expression analysis of hyperlipidemic mouse liver revealed 391 significantly modulated genes when compared to standard diet fed mice. KEGG pathways related to modulated genes were identified and the most significant were biosynthesis of steroids, metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 and linoleic acid metabolism. These pathways were modulated in a way, which increased the clearance of lipids and decreased endogenous synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Additionally, genes involved in the regulation of detoxification pathways were significantly upregulated. The hepatic gene expression profiles of fenofibrate and lovastatin-treated HFC diet fed mice were compared to the vehicle-treated HFC diet fed mice. In the fenofibrate-treated group 124 genes and in the lovastatin-treated group 38 genes were significantly modulated. In the fenofibrate-treated group the top three significantly modulated pathways are fatty acid metabolism, propanoate metabolism and ascorbate and aldarate metabolism. While in the lovastatin-treated group the top three significantly modulated pathways are glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, tyrosine metabolism and metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. Expert based classification revealed that both fenofibrate an lovastatin significantly down-regulated genes encoding sterol-C4-methyl oxidase like and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase. Additionally, the regulation of cholesterol at the transcriptional level was also significantly augmented by fenofibrate and lovastatin, as judged by increased expression of -1 and decreased expression of INSIG-2. Experiment Overall Design: 24 seven week old mice were randomly divided in four experimental groups. Control group (n = 6) was fed on a standard chow diet (diet 3430, Provimi Kliba AG, Kaiseraugst, Switzerland) and treated orally once daily with vehicle for 12 days. Remaining 18 mice were fed on HFC diet for 12 days. On day five HFC diet fed mice were treated orally once daily either with vehicle (HFC group, n=6), lovastatin (HFC lovastatin group, 30mg/kg, n=6) or fenofibrate (HFC fenofibrate group, 100mg/kg, n=6). Doses of lovastatin and fenofibrate were choosen according to the literature review. On day 12 liver were excised and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80Â°C for the subsequent transriptome analyses

Project description:Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed during 4 weeks with either a control diet or an immunostimulant diet and then injected with LPS to investigate the effect of dietary immunostimulation in the portals of entry, intestine and gills, using a salmonid-specific microarray platform enriched with immune-related genes. IS-diet feeding significantly changed transcriptomic expression profiles in response to LPS: significant changes in genes and functional GO categories related to remodeling processes and antigen presentation were different for both diets. The results revealed that one of the main effects of IS-diets in trout is the increase of genes involved in antigen recognition and in adaptive immunity. Keywords: gills, intestine, immunostimulats, transcriptomic response, trout Adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were randomly distributed in four fibreglass tanks (25 fish per tank). During the feeding trial, trouts were hand-fed once a day with either the control diet or the immunodiet, in duplicate tanks, following manufacturerâ??s indication of 1 g food/fish for 4 weeks. After the 4 weeks, 5 fish were injected with LPS and 5 fish were injected with PBS. After 24h, samples were taken for microarray analysis. Tissues were removed for RNA extraction and frozen in liquid nitrogen, then stored at -80 ÂºC. Total RNA was extracted from the organs using 1 ml of Tri Reagent (Sigma) per 100 mg of tissue, following the manufacturerâ??s instructions and quantity and integrity was analyzed by Experion RNA StdSens Analysis Kit (Bio-Rad). The design of the microarray posses 1818 genes printed in six replicates each, including random clones from common and subtracted cDNA libraries which were compared with known vertebrate proteins using blastx. The platform was enriched in immune-related genes. RNA was pooled within treatments (n=5), and 15 Âµg of control and test were labeled with Cy3- and Cy5-dCTP (Amersham Pharmacia) using SuperScript III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) and oligo(dT) primer (Promega), and cDNA was purified with Microcon YM30 (Millipore). Dye swap method was used, therefore each sample was hybridized to two microarrays. For the first slide, test and control cDNA were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3 respectively, and for the second array dye assignments were reversed. Scanning was performed with Axon scanner 4000B and images were processed with GenePix Pro 6.0. After subtraction of mean background, and LOWESS normalization was performed. To assess differential expression of genes, the normalized log intensity ratios were analyzed with Studentâ??s t-test (p<0.01) and genes were ranked by log(p-level). The Bayesian modification to the false discovery rate (FDR) was used to correct for multiple comparison tests, estimating the q-value for the set of differentially expressed genes. The functional categories of Gene Ontology were compared with regulated genes (p<0.01) by the sums of ranks (Studentâ??s t-test, p<0.05) and the statistical significance of over represented functional categories was assessed using the Yates correction to Chi square test (corrected p<0.05).
