Project description:A QTL analysis between inbred mouse strains MRL/MpJ and SM/J was performed to identify genetic loci influencing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) at eight weeks of age in F2 mice fed a chow diet. In order to narrow down lists of candidate genes, expression levels from liver tissue were used to test for differential expression among parental and F1 strains and to scan for eQTL in F2 animals. We provide evidence for Mppe1 (Chr 18) as an HDL QTL candidate gene and Cyp2d26 (Chr 15) as a TG QTL candidate gene. MRL/MpJ (MRL) mice were crossed with male SM/J (SM) mice; their progeny were intercrossed to produce 371 F2 animals. Of these, 282 F2 males and females were profiled with Affy Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays for an eQTL study. Three animals from each parental and the F1 strains from each sex, i.e. 18 in total, were also profiled for testing differential expression. A total of 300 samples are included in the dataset. The mice were weaned at 3 weeks on a chow diet. At 13 weeks of age, mice were single housed for 3 days and fasted for 4 hours prior to being sacrificed. Tissue collection was performed between noon and 1pm to avoid variations due to circadian rhythm.

Project description:Ribosome stalling during translation has recently been shown to cause neurodegeneration, yet the signaling pathways triggered by stalled elongation complexes are unknown. To investigate these pathways we analyzed the brain of B6J-nmf205-/- mice in which neuronal elongation complexes are stalled at AGA codons due to deficiencies in a tRNA Arg(UCU) tRNA and GTPBP2, a mammalian ribosome rescue factor. Increased levels of phosphorylation of eIF2α (Ser51) were detected prior to neurodegeneration in these mice and transcriptome analysis demonstrated activation of ATF4, a key transcription factor in the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway. Genetic experiments showed that this pathway was activated by the eIF2α kinase, GCN2, in an apparent deacylated tRNA-independent fashion. Further we found that the ISR attenuates neurodegeneration in B6J-nmf205-/- mice, underscoring the importance of cellular and stress context on the outcome of activation of this pathway. These results demonstrate the critical interplay between translation elongation and initiation in regulating neuron survival during cellular stress. Examination of gene expression in cerebellum and hippocampus for 4 mice strains derived from C57BL/6J (B6J) strain. Microarray data was performed for 3 week and 5 week old mice in both cerebellum and hippocampus for B6J and B6J-nmf205-/- three replicates each. RNA-Seq data was perform on cerebellum of mice 3 weeks old, three replicates for each genotype: B6J, B6J-nmf205-/-, B6J-Gcn2-/- and B6J-nmf205-/-;Gcn2-/-.

Project description:Infection of humans with Ehrlichia chaffeensis, the etiologic agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis, can cause hepatitis of varying severity. When the three human isolates of E. chaffeensis, each belongs to different geno-groups, are inoculated into severe combined immunodeficiency mice, the severity of clinical signs and bacterial burden detected in the liver are strain Wakulla>Liberty>Arkansas. Disseminated and granulomatous inflammation is evident in the liver of mice infected with strains Wakulla and Arkansas, respectively, but not in mice infected with strain Liberty. In this paper, we used microarray analysis to define transcriptional profiles characteristic to the histopathological features in the mouse liver. Cytokine and chemokine profiles were strikingly different among three strains of E. chaffeensis: IFN-γ, CCL5, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL7 and CXCL9 were highly up-regulated with strain Arkansas, TNF-α, CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CCL6, CCL12, CCL20, CXCL2, CXCL7, CXCL9 and CXCL13 were highly up-regulated with strain Wakulla. With strain Liberty, only CXCL13 was highly up-regulated. In the livers infected with the Arkansas strain, monocytes/macrophages and NK cells were enriched in the granulomas and increase of NK cell-marker mRNAs was detected. Livers infected with the Wakulla strain displayed infiltration of significantly more neutrophils and increase of neutrophil-marker mRNAs. Genes up-regulated commonly in the liver infected with the three stains are other host innate immune and inflammatory response genes including several acute phase proteins. Genes down-regulated commonly are related to host physiologic functions. The results suggest that marked modulation of host cytokine and chemokine profiles by E. chaffeensis strains underlie the distinct host liver disease. Experiment Overall Design: E. chaffeensis strains Arkansas, Wakulla and Liberty were propagated in DH82 cells. Three to four week-old male ICR-scid mice were infected intraperitoneally with 10^6 E. chaffeensis-infected DH82 cells (typically >95% infected) containing approximately the same number of bacteria. At day 15 post infection (PI) mice were euthanized and livers were harvested. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNAs were extracted from E. chaffeensis-infected or mock-infected (uninfected) mouse liver. About 8 ug of each RNA sample was applied to double-strand cDNA preparation. The labeled cRNA was hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix). After washing and staining with streptoavidin phycoerythrin, the array was scanned. Experiment Overall Design: Three mice were examined for each of the 4 groups.

Project description:Identifying the genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTL) for disease has proven difficult, mainly due to the low resolution of the approach and the complex genetics involved. However, recent advances in bioinformatics and the availability of genetic resources now make it possible to narrow the genetic intervals and test candidate genes. In addition to identifying the causative genes, defining the pathways that are affected by these QTL is of major importance as it can give us insight into the disease process and provide evidence to support candidate genes. In this study we mapped three significant and one suggestive QTL on Chromosomes (Chrs) 1, 4, 15, and 17, respectively, for increased albumin excretion (measured as albumin-to-creatinine ratio) in a cross between the MRL/MpJ and SM/J mouse inbred strains. By combining data from several sources and by utilizing gene expression data, we identified Tlr12 as a likely candidate for the Chr 4 QTL. Through the mapping of 33,881 transcripts measured by microarray on kidney RNA from each of the 173 male F2 animals, we identified several downstream pathways associated with these QTL. Among these were the glycan degradation, leukocyte migration, and antigen presenting pathways. We demonstrate that by combining data from multiple sources, we can identify not only genes that are likely to be causal candidates for QTL, but also the pathways through which these genes act to alter phenotypes. This combined approach provides valuable insights into the causes and consequences of renal disease. Female MRL/MpJ (MRL) mice were crossed with male SM/J (SM) mice; their progeny were intercrossed to produce 371 F2 animals. Only 173 F2 males were used for this study. This submission represents the expression profiling component of the study.

Project description:It is unclear why preterm birth increases risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies in mice indicate excess oxygen typically used to treat preterm infants causes pulmonary hypertension, cardiac failure, and shortens lifespan. We previously reported neonatal hyperoxia causes pulmonary hypertension in aged mice as defined pathologically by pulmonary capillary rarefaction, dilation of pulmonary arterioles and veins, right ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced lifespan. These changes were preceded by a pronounced growth inhibition of cardiomyocytes lining the pulmonary vein and extending into the left atria, resulting in diastolic heart failure as the mice aged. To identify transcriptional changes by which hyperoxia suppresses proliferation of these cardiomyocytes, newborn mice were exposed to room air or 100% oxygen between birth and postnatal day 4. RNA was then isolated from atria of 3 room air and 4 hyperoxia-exposed mice and used to probe Affymetrix mouse array 430 versus 2.0

Project description:Aberrant activation of WNT signaling and loss of BMP signals represent the two main alterations leading to the initiation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we screen for genes required for maintaining the tumor stem cell phenotype and identify the zinc-finger transcription factor GATA6 as key regulator of the WNT and BMP pathways in CRC. GATA6 directly drives the expression of LGR5 in adenoma stem cells while it restricts BMP signaling to differentiated tumor cells. Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 represses BMP4 gene expression through binding to a regulatory region that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Thus, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation. Total RNA from biological replicates of VillinCreERT2Gata6+/+Apcfl/fl and VillinCreERT2Gata6fl/flApcfl/fl colon adenoma tumor organoids grown for one week in control media (see growth protocol).Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzolM-BM-. Plus RNA Purification Kit (Life Technologies).

Project description:We profiled genome-wide gene expression in non-tumorous human lung tissues. The overall goal of this project is to improve our molecular understanding of various lung diseases including lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The samples from the University of British Columbia (UBC) were derived from a long-standing tissue bank started by Drs. James C. Hogg and Peter D. Paré (Ding L, Quinlan KB, Elliott WM, Hamodat M, Paré PD, Hogg JC, Hayashi S. A Lung Tissue Bank for Gene Expression Studies in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 2004;1:191-204 (PMID 17136987)). Lung specimens were obtained from patients undergoing lung surgery. Primarily this was for resection of benign or malignant lesions. Some were the diseased lungs from transplant recipients. Patients are approached prior to surgery and asked if they would like to donate a portion of the lung tissue that is to be removed for research. It is explained that this would be done after the appropriate diagnostic specimens are taken and that only portions of lung that would be otherwise discarded will be used for research. A small number of lung samples were obtained at the time of autopsy. Immediately after resection, the lobes or lungs were inflated using a 50% mixture of Cryomatrix and saline. The specimens were then frozen in liquid nitrogen fumes and stored at -80C for later RNA extraction. RNAs were extracted and then hybridized to a single custom-made whole-genome human Affymetrix array.
