Global placental gene expression profiling in the first and third trimesters of normal human pregnancy

ABSTRACT: The human placenta is a rapidly developing organ with a relatively short life span that performs multiple functions until birth. Investigations into molecular mechanisms that control placental plasticity during its maturation might be useful in understanding patho-physiology of pregnancy-specific disorders. We hypothesized that molecular rearrangements and phenotypic adaptations that are necessary for normal placental development and maturation are reflected in its genotype. Our objective was to investigate global gene expression profile in the first and third trimester normal human placentas. 21 women were recruited with uncomplicated pregnancies that were delivered at term and 16 healthy women undergoing surgical abortion at 9-12 weeks gestation. We compared global placental gene expression profile by Human Genome Survey Microarray v.2.0 (Applied Biosystems). A total of 37 hybridisations were performed applying direct comparison design.

Gene expression profiling indicates inflammatory pathways involved in IUGR due to placental insufficiency

Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) represents a major obstetric challenge with perinatal complications and a risk factor of developing disease in adult life. Placental insufficiency is one of the common features accompanying IUGR. The aim of this study was to evaluate global placental gene expression profile in IUGR compared to normal pregnancies. Placental samples were collected by eight IUGR pregnancies with placental insufficiency ascertained by Doppler and eight healthy controls. A 30K Human Genome Survey Microarray v.2.0 (Applied Biosystems) was used to evaluate global gene expression profile. Principal component analysis showed good separation in terms of gene expression patterns between the groups. Pathway analysis with Bonferroni correction for multiple testing showed significant (p<0.05) up-regulation of inflammation mediated by chemokine and cytokine signalling pathway in the IUGR placentas. Genes involved in metabolism of glucocorticoids (HSD11B1 and DHRS2) were found differentially expressed. We found no imprinted genes to be differentially expressed and only one gene involved in epigenetic modifications (MBD3) to be down-regulated in the IUGR placentas, indicating that IUGR due to placental insufficiency is not associated to placental imprinting. Subgroup analysis between pure IUGR and IUGR with preeclampsia placentas showed only 27 differentially expressed genes suggesting common pathophysiology. Eight placental samples from normal human placenta compared to eight human placental samples from patients with intrauterine growth restrictions due to placental insufficiency

Placental gene expression in severe preeclampsia.

Project description:The series is composed of thirty hybridizations for analysis of differentially expressed genes in normal placenta tissues from patients with normal labor and placenta tissues from patients with severe preeclampsia. Patients tissues samples were obtained from (Vasilis. Total RNA extraction was performed by using the MagNa Pure Compact RNA Isolation Kit (Roche Applied Science). Keywords: Gene expression study, Disease state Twenty-six out of 50 normal placentas were randomly selected to match with 17 preeclamptic placentas, accounting for parity. Microarrays were performed applying a direct comparison design.

New specific molecular targets for radiochemotherapy in colorectal cancer

Project description:A promising treatment for patients with advanced colorectal cancer is preoperative radiochemotherapy. The early side effects of this treatment have been considered to be acceptable. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of preoperative radiochemotherapy (PRT) on gene expression in tumour and normal colon rectal tissue form the same patients, before and after PRT. For that purpose, tissue samples from ten patients with operable rectal adenocarcinomas were collected for use in whole genomeâmicroarray based gene expression analysis. A factorial experimental design allowed us to look solely at the radiation effect on tumours. This resulted in 4496 differentially expressed genes in tumour tissue with p<0.05. In addition to known markers for radiochemotherapy, a Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) showed a significant enrichment in gene sets associated with cell adhesion and leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM). We conclude that radiochemotherapy has a greater effect in tumour tissue gene expression than normal tissue. Not only is the effect on normal tissue limited compared to tumour, but significantly different gene sets are enriched. The profound change of cell adhesion molecule expression in tumour tissue could either increase the risk of metastasis, or decrease the tumours invasive potential. Further characterization of genes involved in cell adhesion and leukocyte TEM may give new insights into the molecular responses to radiochemotherapy in colorectal cancer.

PPARg and IL-4-induced gene expression data from PPARg +/- LysCre and PPARg fl/- LysCre mouse bone marrow-derived alternatively activated macrophages and immature dendritic cells (iDCs)

Project description:Conditional macrophage-specific PPARg knockout mice were generated on C57Bl/6 background by breeding PPARg fl/- (one allele is floxed, the other is null) and lysozyme Cre transgenic mice. PPARg and IL-4 signaling was analyzed on bone marrow-derived macrophages. Bone marrow of 4 mice per group was isolated and differentiated to alternatively activated macrophages with 20 ng/ml M-CSF and 20 ng/ml IL-4 or to iDCs with 20 ng/ml GM-CSF+20 ng/ml IL-4. 1 uM Rosiglitazone (RSG) was used to activate PPARg. From each mouse 4 samples were generated: 1. M-CSF+IL-4, 2. M-CSF+IL-4+RSG, 3. GM-CSF+IL-4 and 4. GM-CSF+IL-4+RSG. All compounds were added throughout the whole differentiation process, and fresh media was added every other day. Control cells were treated with vehicle (DMSO:ethanol). After 9 days, RNA was isolated and gene expression profiles were analyzed using ABI Mouse Genome Survey Arrays. 4 PPARg +/- LysCre and 4 PPARg fl/- LysCre mice were used to isolate bone marrow and from each alternatively activated macrophages were differentiated with IL-4 and simultaneously treated with vehicle or RSG, iDCs were differentiated with GM-CSF+IL-4 and simultaneously treated with vehicle or RSG. Altogether we analyzed 32 samples with 4 biological replicates as below.

Testis-expressed cluster of microRNAs 959-964 controls spermatid differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:MicroRNAs are a wide class of ~22 nt non-coding RNAs of metazoans capable of inhibiting target mRNAs translation by binding to partially complementary sites in their 3âUTRs. Due to their regulatory potential, miRNAs are implicated in functioning of a broad range of biological pathways and processes. Here we investigate the functions of the miR-959-964 cluster expressed predominantly in testes of Drosophila melanogaster. The deletion of miR-959-964 resulted in male sterility due to the disturbance of the spermatid individualization process. Analysis of the transcriptome by microarray followed by luciferase reporter assay revealed didum, for, fdl and CG10512 as the targets of miR-959-964. Moreover, the deletion of miR-959-964 is accompanied by a decreased the expression of genes responsible for microtubule-based movement and spermatid differentiation. Thus, we suggest that miR-959-964 can control the process of spermatid individualization by direct and indirect modulating the expression of different components of the individualization process. In addition, we have shown that in comparison to other miRNAs, the rate of evolution of the testis-specific miR-959-964 cluster is unusually high, indicating its possible involvement in speciation via reproductive isolation.
