Project description:This study assessed gene expression changes associated with inflammation in the colon tissue of multi-drug resistance targeted mutation (Mdr1a-/-) mice, a model of human IBD. It also tested the anti-inflammatory potential of curcumin in the colon of these mice with a particular focus on the proteome. A colonic histological injury score was determined for each mouse to assess the level of colon inflammation in Mdr1a-/- mice, and to establish the effect of curcumin on inflammation. Insights into mechanisms of colonic inflammation in the Mdr1a-/- mice were gained using transcriptome (microarray) and proteome (2-D gel electrophoresis and LCMS protein identification) analyses. These data were compared to changes in the colon proteome in response to curcumin, and to previously described transcriptomic analyses [Nones et al, PMID: 18761777; GSE10684] in response to curcumin, in this model. A total of 24 male Mdr1a-/- mice, and 24 male FVB/N mice, purchased from Taconic (Hudson, NY, USA) at 4-5 weeks of age, were used for this study. 12 mice were randomly assigned to each of two different dietary groups: control (AIN-76A powdered diet), or curcumin (AIN-76A + 0.2% curcumin). At 21 and 24 weeks of age, mice were euthanized and colon samples taken for histological, microarray, and proteomics analyses. The total histology score (HIS) in the colon was determined according to previously described criteria. Total RNA was isolated using TRIzolM-BM-. reagent. Colon RNA from four Mdr1a-/- mice (with high HIS) on the control diet (i.e. AIN-76A powdered diet) was compared with colon RNA from four FVB/N mice with low HIS also on the control diet (i.e. AIN-76A powdered diet). All individual RNA samples were hybridized against a common reference RNA on separate slides. The reference RNA was prepared using equimolar RNA extracts from small intestine, colon, kidney and liver of normal healthy growing Swiss mice plus RNA extracts from Swiss mouse fetuses. These data were compared with previously reported transcriptomics analysis of colon RNA from the same four Mdr1a-/- mice on the AIN-76A diet (with high HIS) compared with colon RNA from four Mdr1a-/- mice on the curcumin diet (with low HIS; Nones et al 2009, PMID: 18761777)

Project description:Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce inflammation via a range of mechanisms. This study tested the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on intestinal inflammation using interleukin-10 gene-deficient (Il10-/-) mice. Methods: At 35 days of age, 12 weaned Il10-/- and 12 C57 mice were randomly assigned to one of two modified AIN-76A diets, supplemented with 3.7% purified ethyl esters of either EPA (n-3) or oleic acid (OA, control). To identify genes relevant to colon inflammation, transcription profiling (microarrays and qRT-PCR) and bioinformatic analyses were used. Results: In this study, dietary EPA reversed the decrease in colon fatty acid β-oxidation gene expression observed in OA-fed Il10-/- compared to C57 mice. Il10-/- mice fed the OA diet showed decreased expression of antioxidant enzyme genes, as well as those involved in detoxification of xenobiotics, compared to C57 mice on the same diet. In contrast, dietary EPA increased the expression of these genes in Il10-/- mice. Conclusions: These data indicate that dietary EPA induced endogenous lipid oxidation which might have a potential anti-inflammatory effect on colon tissue. This is supported by the activation of the Ppara gene that regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory genes and proteins. Experiment Overall Design: The diet abbreviations EPA, OA, AA and CO used in the sample records Experiment Overall Design: refer to the following : Experiment Overall Design: CO : AIN-76A (control) Experiment Overall Design: OA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% oleic acid Experiment Overall Design: EPA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% eicosapentaenoic acid Experiment Overall Design: AA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% arachidonic acid Experiment Overall Design: Corn oil was supplemented with purified linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid to meet the nutritional requirements of mice for these essential fatty acids.

Project description:Damage of the intestinal epithelial barrier by xenobiotics or reactive oxygen species and a dysregulated immune response are both factors involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Curcumin and rutin are polyphenolic compounds known to have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, but their mechanism(s) of action are yet to be fully elucidated. Mdr1a-/- mice spontaneously develop intestinal inflammation, predominantly in the colon, with pathology similar to IBD, so this mouse model is relevant for studying diet-gene interactions and potential effects of foods on remission or development of IBD. This study tested whether the addition of curcumin or rutin to the diet would alleviate colonic inflammation in mdr1a-/- mice. Using whole-genome microarrays, the effect of dietary curcumin on gene expression in colon tissue was also investigated. Twelve mice were randomly assigned to each of three diets; control (AIN-76A), control + 0.2% curcumin or control + 0.1% rutin and monitored from the age of 7 to 24 weeks. Curcumin, but not rutin, significantly reduced histological signs of colonic inflammation in mdr1a-/- mice. Microarray and pathway analyses suggested that the effect of dietary curcumin on colon inflammation could be via an up-regulation of xenobiotic metabolism and a down-regulation of pro-inflammatory pathways probably mediated by PXR and PPARï¡ activation of RXR. These results reveal the potential of global gene expression and pathway analyses to study and better understand the effect of foods in colonic inflammation. Experiment Overall Design: Twelve mice were randomly assigned to each of three diets; control (AIN-76A), control + 0â¢2% curcumin or control + 0â¢1% rutin and monitored from the age of 7 to 24 weeks. As only curcumin significantly reduced colonic HIS, comparison of the gene expression levels in colon was carried out using total RNA from colon tissue of four mdr1a-/- mice from the control group (high HIS) and four mdr1a-/- mice from the curcumin group (low HIS). A reference design with eight arrays was used for this comparison, where each individual RNA sample was hybridized in the array with the reference RNA, totalizing 4 biological replicates per treatment.

Project description:Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term describing a collection of conditions characterised by chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract involving an inappropriate immune response to commensal microorganisms in a genetically susceptible host. Four kiwifruit extracts, aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts of gold kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) or green kiwifruit (A. deliciosa), have previously demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity using in vitro models of IBD. This study examined whether these kiwifruit extracts had immune modulating effects in vivo against inflammatory processes known to be increased in patients with IBD. KFEs were used as a dietary intervention in Il10-/- mice (an in vivo model of IBD) and the C57BL/6J background strain in a 3 x 2 factorial design. While all Il10-/- mice developed significant colonic inflammation compared to the C57BL/6J mice, this was not affected by the inclusion of KFE in the diet. Whole genome gene and protein expression level profiling indicated that KFEs influenced immune signalling pathways and metabolic processes within the colonic tissue; however, the effects were subtle. In particular, adaptive immune pathways were reduced by three out of four kiwifruit extracts, with greater reduction seen in the C57BL/6J mice. This suggests that while immune-modulating activity was present in vivo, KFEs did not reduce inflammatory processes relevant to IBD. Experimental design. Two experiments were conducted, one using extracts from gold kiwifruit and one using extracts from green kiwifruit. Within each experiment, both Il10-/- and C57 mice were randomly divided into three diet treatment groups, to ive the following 12 treatments: 1) Gold Kiwifruit Experiment, C57BL/6J mice, Control diet (AIN-76A), 2) Gold Kiwifruit Experiment, C57BL/6J mice, Aqueous Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 5% Aqueous KFE) 3) Gold Kiwifruit Experiment, C57BL/6J mice, Ethyl Acetate Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 0.11% Ethyl Acetate KFE) 4) Gold Kiwifruit Experiment, Il10-/- mice, Control diet (AIN-76A), 5) Gold Kiwifruit Experiment, Il10-/- mice, Aqueous Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 5% Aqueous KFE) 6) Gold Kiwifruit Experiment, Il10-/- mice, Ethyl Acetate Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 0.11% Ethyl Acetate KFE) 7) Green Kiwifruit Experiment, C57BL/6J mice, Control diet (AIN-76A), 8) Green Kiwifruit Experiment, C57BL/6J mice, Aqueous Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 5% Aqueous KFE) 9) Green Kiwifruit Experiment, C57BL/6J mice, Ethyl Acetate Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 0.11% Ethyl Acetate KFE) 10) Green Kiwifruit Experiment, Il10-/- mice, Control diet (AIN-76A), 11) Green Kiwifruit Experiment, Il10-/- mice, Aqueous Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 5% Aqueous KFE) 12) Green Kiwifruit Experiment, Il10-/- mice, Ethyl Acetate Kiwifruit Extract Supplemented Diet (AIN-76A + 0.11% Ethyl Acetate KFE) Six biological replicates were analysed from each treatment group, except for groups 3 and 7 where five replicates were analysed due to array quality issues with the sixth replicate. Each replicate contained mRNA from one mouse. A reference design was used, where each slide was hybridised with mRNA from one sample (green channel) and mRNA from a common reference pool (red channel).

Project description:A total of 30 male IL10-/- (B6.129P2-Il10<tm1Cgn>/J) and 30 male C57 control (C57BL/6J) mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA). All mice were between 28 and 35 days of age at the start of the study. For convenience and consistency in reporting, their age was defined as 35 days or 5 weeks of age. The mice were housed individually in standard shoebox size cages containing untreated wood shavings and maintained in an air-conditioned animal room with a 12-h light-dark cycle. Animals had free access to water and were fed an AIN-76A standard powder diet prepared in-house. This study was approved by the AgResearch Ruakura Animal Ethics Committee in Hamilton, New Zealand according to the Animal Protection Act (1960) and Animal Protection Regulations (1987) and amendments. Four days after arrival, all mice were inoculated orally with a mixture of Enterococcus faecalis strains and bacteria commonly found in the intestinal lumen to obtain a more consistent and reproducible intestinal inflammation. Mice were randomly assigned to five sampling groups (7, 8.5, 10, 12 and 14 weeks of age). Experiment Overall Design: For the comparison of gene expression levels, colonic RNA of IL10-/- and C57 at 7 and 12 weeks of age were compared because of a low HIS variability in the colon within those time points. A reference design with 15 arrays was used, where each individual RNA sample was hybridized with a reference sample onto the array, in a total of 3 or 4 biological replicates per treatment. Reference RNA was prepared by pooling equal amounts of purified total RNA extracted from small intestine, colon, kidney, liver and fetuses from normal, healthy Swiss mice.

Project description:Inappropriate response to normal intestinal bacteria is involved in the development of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD, e.g. Crohnâ??s Disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC)) and variations in the host genome may mediate this process. IL-10-/- mice develop CD-like colitis mainly in the colon, in part due to inappropriate responses to normal intestinal bacteria including Enterococcus strains. Comprehensive characterization of changes in gene expression associated with the observed inflammation in the IL-10-/- mouse model has yet to be reported. Our aim was to characterize changes in colonic gene expression in IL-10-/- and C57BL/6J (C57; control) mice resulting from oral bacterial inoculation with 12 Enterococcus faecalis and faecium (EF) strains isolated from calves or poultry, complex intestinal flora (CIF) collected from healthy control mice, or a mixture of the two (EFâ?¢CIF). At 12 weeks of age, total RNA extracted from intact colon was hybridized to Agilent 44k mouse arrays. Lists of differentially expressed genes were generated using linear models for microarray analysis (Bioconductor), and genes clustered using GeneSpring GX and Ingenuity Pathways Analysis software. Intestinal inflammation was increased in IL-10-/- mice as a result of inoculation, with the strongest effect being in the EF and EF.CIF groups; expression of >4,000 gene probes was altered in colon tissue compared with similarly inoculated C57 mice. Genes differentially expressed in IL-10-/- mice as a result of EF or EF.CIF inoculation were associated with the following pathways: inflammatory disease (111 genes differentially expressed), immune response (209 genes), antigen presentation (11 genes, particularly major histocompatability complex Class II), fatty acid metabolism (30 genes) and detoxification (31 genes). Our results suggest that the colonic inflammation in EF and EF.CIF-inoculated IL-10-/- mice is mediated by mechanisms similar to those of human IBD, in particular CD. Example logFC calculation; This example describes the calculation of the fold-change value (logFC) for a single spot (in this case, spot 27222) for a single comparison. This calculation method was applied to generate all of the comparison data shown in the supplementary data files. The comparison in question is for:; colon tissue from C57BL/6J mouse with EF.CIF treatment (represented by duplicate samples GSM307282 (Title: C57BL/6J_Colon_EF.CIF_Rep1_(Pool17)) and GSM307283 (Title: C57BL/6J_Colon_EF.CIF_Rep2_(Pool18)); vs. colon tissue from C57BL/6J mouse under conventional conditions (represented by duplicate samples GSM307270 (Title: C57BL/6J_Colon_Conventional_Rep1_(Pool5)) and GSM307271 (Title: C57BL/6J_Colon_Conventional_Rep2_(Pool6)); Important Note: Limma analysis maps the treatments on each slide to the M values which are by convention always log2(R) - log2(G). Because this experiment is a reference design, with the reference RNA always Cy5 (i.e. red, channel 2) and the treatment sample Cy3 (i.e. green, channel 1), and we are interested in the values of the treatment samples compared with the reference, the M values in the data files are displayed as log2(G) - log2(R); The average expression is what is important here, which is calculated from the normalized M values for the appropriate comparison of interest as follows:; [1] Mean value for Spot 27222, for each treatment:; C57BL/6J mouse, EF.CIF: = mean (0.26363587 (GSM307282), 0.05084283 (GSM307283)) = 0.15723935 C57BL/6J mouse, conventional = mean (1.42951674 (GSM307270),1.15444106 (GSM307271)) = 1.2919789; [2] Calculation of LogFC for the comparison of interest:; The contrast of interest is C57BL/6J: EF.CIF vs Conventional, so by performing a subtraction of these values for the comparison of interest (i.e. (mean for EF.CIF) - (mean for Conventional), the common reference is cancelled out, thus:; C57BL/6J: EF.CIF vs Conventional = 0.15723935 - 1.2919789 = -1.13473955; So, the fold-change value (logFC) for spot 27222 for the comparison in question (C57BL/6J: EF.CIF vs. Conventional) is: -1.13473955 Experiment Overall Design: Animals. Twenty five male IL-10-/- (C57BL/6J background, formal designation B6.129P2-IL-10<tm1Cgn>/J) mice and twenty five male C57BL/6J (C57) control mice were received from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA) at approximately five weeks of age. Mice were housed either in pairs or groups of three (5 mice per treatment) in shoebox-style cages containing untreated wood shavings and a plastic tube for environmental enrichment. The animal room was maintained at a temperature of ~22°C and humidity of ~50% with a 12 hour light/dark cycle. All mice had ad libitum access to water, which was refreshed twice a week. An AIN-76A powdered diet was supplied twice a week, with sufficient provided to meet the daily intake of IL-10-/- mice, as determined in a previous feeding trial (data not shown). The diet for all groups was sterilized by gamma irradiation (Schering-Plough, Wellington, New Zealand) to a level required for SPF conditions, to minimize the possibility of bacterial introduction to the SPF group of animals. All mice were weighed three times weekly and carefully monitored for disease symptoms (weight loss, soft faeces and inactivity). Experiment Overall Design: Experimental design. Both IL-10-/- and C57 mice were randomly divided into five treatment groups with five animals per group. Experiment Overall Design: SPF. Housed in Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) conditions (isolator cages supplied with HEPA filtered air (Tecniplast SpA, Buguggiate, Italy)). Experiment Overall Design: C. Maintained under conventional conditions. Experiment Overall Design: EF. Maintained under conventional conditions and orally inoculated (200 microlitres) with a solutions containing 12 pure strains of Enterococcus (1.2 x 10^8 colony forming units (CFU)). Experiment Overall Design: CIF. Maintained under conventional conditions and orally inoculated with conventional intestinal flora (CIF) derived from healthy age-matched C57BL/6 mice which had been raised under conventional conditions. The CIF inoculation protocol was included to better mimic the complete microbiota associated with the mouse gastrointestinal tract. Experiment Overall Design: EFâ?¢CIF. Maintained under conventional conditions and orally inoculated with a combination of the EF and CIF inoculation solutions (6.0 x 10^7 CFU from the EF inoculum). Experiment Overall Design: All mice were euthanised via CO2 asphyxiation and cervical dislocation at 12 weeks of age. Blood was collected from euthanised mice by cardiac puncture. Plasma was separated from red blood cells by centrifugation (2000 g, 10 min, 4 ºC), frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80 ºC. The intestine was removed, cut open lengthwise and flushed with 0â?¢9 % NaCl to remove digesta residues. The proximal half of the colon was cut in two pieces, one for histological evaluation and other for gene expression studies. Samples of the colon tissue for gene expression analysis were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80 ºC. Samples for histological analysis were stored in formalin solution (10 % neutral buffered) at room temperature. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from the colon tissues using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) as described by the manufacturer, with a subsequent purification step using RNeasy columns (Qiagen, San Diego, CA, USA). RNA was quantified using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA) and RNA quality was examined using a RNA 6000 LabChip Kit and a 2100 Bioanalyser (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Experiment Overall Design: The Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent Technologies Inc., Palo Alto, California, USA) was used to synthesize cDNA and fluorescent cRNA. Labelled cRNA was made on the same day for all sample pools, including the reference sample. cDNA was synthesized from 500 ng of purified total RNA from each pool using T7 promotor primer and Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase according to the manufacturerâ??s protocol. Cy3 (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, USA) was used to label sample groups, while the reference RNA was labeled with Cy5 (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, USA). Experiment Overall Design: HYBRIDIZATION Experiment Overall Design: Microarray hybridization was performed according to a reference design without dye swap. The in situ hybridization kit-plus (Agilent Technologies Inc., Palo Alto, California, USA) was used to hybridize cRNA samples to Agilent Technologies Mouse G4121A - 44k 60mer oligonucleotide arrays. Cy3-labelled cRNA (sample, 0.75 µg) and Cy5-labelled cRNA (reference, 0.75 µg) were hybridised onto the microarray according to the manufacturerâ??s protocol. Following hybridisation, slides were washed in solutions I, II and III (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and air-dried. Experiment Overall Design: SCAN PROTOCOL Experiment Overall Design: Slides were scanned using a GenePix 4200A scanner (Molecular Devices Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at a photomultiplier tube (PMT) setting of 450 V. Spot identification and quantification were performed using GenePix 6.0 software (Molecular Devices Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Spot identification and quantification was performed using GenePix 6.0 software (Molecular Devices). All slides were individually checked and manually flagged for abnormalities. Experiment Overall Design: DATA PROCESSING Experiment Overall Design: Statistical analysis was performed using linear models for microarray analysis (limma) within the Bioconductor framework. Before analysis, poor quality spots were manually flagged and filtered out. Quality of the microarray data was assessed on diagnostic plots (boxplots and density plots) and spatial images generated from the raw (non-processed) data. All twenty arrays passed these strict criteria and were included in the analyses. Intensity ratio values for all microarray spots were normalized using a within-slide global Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing (Loess) procedure to remove the effect of systematic variation in the microarrays; no background correction was necessary due to homogeneous hybridization. The normalized data from the arrays of each treatment group were averaged. For each comparison, differentially expressed genes were identified using false discovery rate (FDR) control with a threshold of q < 0.05. Data were log transformed before analysis and the mean difference between treatments calculated on this scale, resulting in a log ratio for each probe. The normalized values in the database consist of these log ratios. MA plots of the microarray data were drawn in order to check that there was no dependence of the log ratio on the intensity for any slide. The significance of the log ratio for each probe was determined by calculating one modified t-statistic per probe using an empirical Bayes approach. Experiment Overall Design: The probability values were then corrected for multiple testing using the Benjamini and Hochberg correction, and a false discovery rate (FDR) calculated. Probes that had an FDR of less than 5 % (q<0*05) were considered to be differentially expressed between treatment.

Project description:Exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water is associated with several types of cancers including lung, bladder and skin, as well as vascular disease and diabetes. Drinking water standards are based primarily on epidemiology and extrapolation from higher dose experiments, rather than measurements of phenotypic changes associated with chronic exposure to levels of arsenic similar to the current standard of 10ppb, and little is known about the difference between arsenic in food as opposed to arsenic in water. Measurement of phenotypic changes at low doses may be confounded by the effect of laboratory diet, in part because of trace amounts of arsenic in standard laboratory chows, but also because of broad metabolic changes in response to the chow itself. Finally, this series contrasts 8hr, 1mg/kg injected arsenic with the various chronic exposures, and also contrasts the acute effects of arsenic, dexamethasone or their combination. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed on two commercially available laboratory diets (LRD-5001 and AIN-76A) were chronically exposed, through drinking water or food, to environmentally relevant concentrations of sodium arsenite, or acutely exposed to dexamethasone. Experiment Overall Design: Male C57BL/6 mice, fed on two commercially available laboratory diets (LRD-5001 and AIN-76A), were chronically exposed through drinking water or food, to environmentally relevant concentrations of sodium arsenite. Another group animals, fed on the AIN 76A diet, was IP injected with dexamethasone (1 mg/kg), sodium arsenite (1mg/kg), both dexamethosone and arsenite, or saline alone.
