Project description:In vertebrates, activation of innate immunity is an early response to injury, implicating it in the regenerative process. However, the mechanisms by which innate signals might regulate stem cell functionality are unknown. Here we demonstrate that type 2 innate immunity is required for regeneration of skeletal muscle after injury. Muscle damage results in rapid recruitment of eosinophils, which secrete IL-4 to activate the regenerative actions of muscle resident fibro/adipocyte progenitors (FAPs). In FAPs, IL-4/IL-13 signaling serves as a key switch to control their fate and functions. Activation of IL-4/IL-13 signaling promotes proliferation of FAPs to support myogenesis, while inhibiting their differentiation into adipocytes. Surprisingly, type 2 cytokine signaling is also required in FAPs, but not myeloid cells, for rapid clearance of necrotic debris, a process that is necessary for timely and complete regeneration of tissues. Fibroadipocyte progenitors were isolated from wild-type and IL-4Ra knockout (IL-4Ra -/-) mice and were treated with vehicle or IL4 stimulation in culture prior to microarray analysis. 4 biological replicates of each condition were performed.

Project description:In order to understand the relationships between the human non-GCIMP glioblastoma subgroups, we performed computational analysis of human genomic data to predict the temporal sequence in which the driver events arise during tumorigenesis. The order of evolutionary events for non-GCIMP GBM is 1) chr 7 gain and loss of chr 10, followed by 2) CDKN2A loss and/or TP53 mutation, and 3) alterations canonical for specific subtypes such as NF1 loss or focal amplification of PDGFRα or EGFR. We then developed a computational methodology to identify the drivers of broad copy number changes, identifying PDGF-A (chr 7) and PTEN (chr 10) as driving the initial non-disjunction events. These predictions were validated using mouse modeling, showing PDGF-A is sufficient to induce PN-like gliomas that are enhanced by loss of Ink4a-Arf, Tp53 or Pten. Additional Nf1 loss converts PN to the MES subtype. Our findings suggest non-GCIMP GBMs arise as, and evolve from, a common proneural-like precursor. hGBM_sphere: Three different human GBM sphere lines expressing two different NF1-shRNAs or empty shRNA-control were generated by a lentiviral infection with the relevant pLKO.1 vectors. The total RNAs were obtained from the GBM sphere lines and the gene expression profile of the NF1-shRNA cells was then compared to the control cells. hGBM_rapamycin: Two human GBM sphere lines (TS543 and TS667) expressing the NF1-shRNAs were generated by a lentiviral infection with two different pLKO.1-NF1-shRNA vectors (two different target sequence; #2 and #5). The total RNAs were obtained from the NF1-shRNA lines treated with a 1nM rapamycin or 0.1% DMSO control for 5 hours and the gene expression profile was then compared between the both groups. Murine_gliomas: Murine brain tumors were generated by an injection of DF1 cells producing the relevant RCAS virus into newborn pups or adult mice brain. When mice presented any symptoms of disease, the mice were sacrificed and the brain tumor tissues were macroscopically dissected. Then total RNAs were extracted from the murine brain tumors or normal brain tissues and the gene expression profile was compared between various tumor types and/or normal brain tissues. In this study, two different RCAS-shNf1 (GR249 and GF249) and shp53 (R696 and mR696) was used for the generation of the murine brain tumors. Each RCAS vector has different structure but the target sequence against the Nf1 and p53 is same and similar knockdown effect was observed. Tumor grade were determined with the residual sections after a piece of tumor tissue were excised for the RNA extraction. The detail information of the experiment was described in the associated-publication. Murine_shere: Murine neurosphere lines were generated by a retroviral infection with the relevant RCAS viruses. The total RNAs were obtained from the murine neurosphere lines expressing the RCAS-shGL2, shNf1, shp53 or shNf1+shp53 and the gene expression profiles of the shNf1, shp53 or shNf1/p53 cells were then compared to the control shGL2 cells.

Project description:Effects of EPA/DHA enriched high fat diets (HFD) compared to HFD-Corn oil after 8 weeks intervention on age/obesity induced sarcopenia. Results provides novel information on the signalling pathways regulated by EPA/DHA enriched HFD in delaying the onset of sarcopenia in C57Bl/6J mice compared to HFD-Corn oil. Four mice representing each diet group on the basis of body weight, plasma triglyceride and plasma cholesterol levels were selected for RNA isolation and microarray analysis. Total RNA from skeletal muscle of these selected animals was purified using the RNeasy® Plus Universal Mini kit (Qiagen Nordic, Sollentuna, Sweden) by following the manufacturer?s instruction carefully. The extracted RNA was quantified by NanoDrop 2000c UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, USA) and the quality of the RNA was estimated by RNA 6000 Nano LabChip for Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA).

Project description:Context: Progesterone is important physiologically and therapeutically to maintain uterine quiescence during pregnancy. It acts in part through controlling myometrial gene expression. Objective: To use expression microarray and qRT-PCR validation to determine the changes in gene expression induced by prolonged exposure to a synthetic progestogen. Design: Myometrial explants, obtained at elective Caesarean section (n=9 patients), were maintained in culture, under 0.6g tension, for 3 days in the presence or absence of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA, 100nM). Expression array was performed using Illumina human-8 v3 beadchip arrays. Approximately 30% of differentially expressed transcripts were validated in biological replicates (n=10) using qRT-PCR. Results: Transcripts from 114 genes were significantly differentially expressed. These were significantly enriched in inflammatory response (P=0.00001), growth factor activity (P=0.0004) and cytokine activity genes (P=0.008). 34 transcripts were validated using qRT-PCR using an additional independent sample set obtained from 10 further women. There was very close agreement in the fold changes obtained by array and qRT-PCR analysis (r2=0.9, P<0.0001). We confirmed significant down-regulation of a number of genes which have been well characterized as progesterone sensitive, such as IL1B, IL6, PTGS2 and GJA1. However, the top and 6th most down-regulated genes encoded two cytokines, IL11 and IL24, respectively, not previously implicated in mediating the effects of progesterone in myometrium. Both were validated by qRT-PCR (4.3-fold and 2.2-fold down-regulated, both P<0.001). Conclusions: Progestogens control expression of multiple genes in myometrium, including many with no previously recognised role, including IL11 and IL24. It is plausible that proteins encoded by some of these genes may have important, but as yet uncharacterized effects in controlling human parturition. 9 paired samples of human myometrium treated with MPA (10-7M) or vehicle

Project description:Effective therapy for malignant melanoma, the leading cause of death from skin cancer, remains an area of significant unmet need in oncology. Increased expression of PKC? in advanced metastatic melanoma, results in the phosphorylation of the transcription factor ATF2 on threonine 52, which causes its nuclear localization and confers its oncogenic activities. The nuclear-to-mitochondrial translocation of ATF2 following genotoxic stress promotes apoptosis, a function that is largely lost in melanoma cells, due to its confined nuclear localization. Therefore, promoting the nuclear export of ATF2, which sensitizes melanoma cells to apoptosis, offers a novel therapeutic modality. We conducted a pilot high-throughput screen of 3,800 compounds to identify small molecules that promote melanoma cell death by inducing the cytoplasmic localization of ATF2. For this specific gene expression analysis experiment, we subjected WM793 melanoma cells to treatment with DMSO- or 10µM SBI-0087702 for 24 h. RNA was harvested and subjected to microarray analyses using the Illumina Human HT-12 v4 BeadChip. Raw microarray data were normalized using the lumi package in R (variant stabilizing transformation followed by quantile normalization). Subsequent variant-stabilized, normalized microarray values were sorted by fold-change values and subjected to a 1.5-fold-change cut-off threshold. The fold-change-ranked gene list was subjected to gene ontological enriched functional network clustering using the Ingenuity (IPA) gene ontology platform.

Project description:In order to understand the mechanisms and pathways by which activin regulates follicle function, we performed a microarray study and identified activin regulated genes in mouse ovarian granulose cells. Primary cultured ovarian granulosa cells collected from day 21-23 old immature mice were treated with Activin A (A), Activin A plus its antagonist follistatin (AplusF), and PBS (P, vehicle) for 24 h. RNA from each treatment group was isolated and the experiments were repeated four times. Samples from experiment one were assigned as P1, A1 and A+F1, samples from experiment two as P2, A2 and A+F2, and so on. About 100 ng of each RNA sample was amplified using a modified Eberwine T7-based amplification protocol and hybridized to the Illumina Sentrix Mouse-6 Expression BeadChip (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA) that contains 48,000 sets of oligonucleotides.
