Project description:Simple steatosis (SS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The difference in pathogenesis between SS and NASH is still not clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding short RNAs that regulate gene expression. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of miRNA expression profiles with SS and NASH in animal models and humans. Animal models DD Shionogi (DS), Fatty Liver Shionogi (FLS Wild; W), and FLS ob/ob mice were subjected as the normal control, SS model and NASH model, respectively. Male DS mice (Riken BRC No. 03706) were provided by Riken bio-resource center through the national bio-resource project of Japan. Male FLS W and male FLS-ob/ob mice were obtained from Shionogi research laboratories (Shiga, Japan). Animals were housed in a room maintained at a controlled temperature of 24 ± 2 Ë?C under a 12-h light-dark cycle. Animals were provided ad libitum access to water and standard pellet feed. Five male mice of every strain (24 weeks old; mean body weight of DS, FLS W and FLS-ob/ob were 31.1 ± 1.1g, 38.4 ± 3.4g and 56.0 ± 5.0g, respectively) were sacrificed under pentobarbital anesthesia by whole blood collection from the right ventricle. The livers were cut into about 200 mg pieces and fixed in 10% formalin for histological analysis or fresh-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C in a freezer until use. miRNA expression analysis Total RNAs in mouse liver were isolated using TrizolReagent (Life Technologies, California, USA) as described the manufacturerâ??s protocol. The quality of total RNA samples was checked by applying the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) which is calculated by a proprietary algorithm of the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer expert software (Agilent technologies, CA, USA). Only high quality RNA, with RNA integrity number (RIN) greater than 8 and A260/280 and A260/230 greater than 1.8, will be considered for microarray analysis. TaqMan® Array Rodent MicroRNA A Card v2.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) was used to assess 375 miRNA expression profiles in mouse liver tissue.

Project description:To evaluate the effect of M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin on diet-induced NASH, we fed a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet (CL diet) with or without 0.003% M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin to C56BL/6J mice for 12 weeks. After feeding, M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin attenuated fat accumulation, increases in Kupffer and activated stellate cells, and fibrosis in CL diet-induced NASH in the mice. Comprehensive gene expression analysis showed that although M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin histochemically reduced steatosis, it was more effective in inhibiting inflammatory gene expression change in NASH. M-NM-2-Cryptoxanthin reduced the alteration of expression of genes associated with cell death, inflammatory responses, infiltration and activation of macrophages and other leukocytes, quantity of T cells, and free radical scavenging. However, it showed little effect on the expression of genes related to cholesterol and other lipid metabolism. The expression of markers of M1 and M2 macrophages, T helper cells, and cytotoxic T cells was significantly induced in NASH and reduced by M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin. M-NM-2-Cryptoxanthin suppressed the expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-inducible and/or TNFM-NM-1-inducible genes and the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase 1 in NASH. Thus, M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin suppresses inflammation and the resulting fibrosis probably by primarily suppressing the increase and activation of macrophages and other immune cells. Reducing oxidative stress is likely to be a major mechanism of inflammation and injury suppression in the livers of mice with NASH. Eight-week old male C57BL/6J mice were fed for 12 weeks on a CRF-1 standard chow (control), a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet (CL diet; 38.23% CRF-1, 60% cocoa butter, 1.25% cholesterol, 0.5% sodium cholate) or a CL diet containing 0.003% M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin.

Project description:We tested the role of distinct STM populations in the modulation of synovial tissue environment in ex vivo STM-FLS micro co-cultures. We first FACS-sorted total synovial tissue fibroblasts as we described previously from biopsies of RA patients. FLS were seeded at 3000/well alone or in contact with either 3000/well FACS-sorted MerTK/CD206neg or MerTK/CD206pos STMs from patients with active or remission RA respectively for 48h. The modulatory effect on the FLS was evaluated by comparing their expression of 446 immune/stromal genes (scRNAseq BD Rhapsody) 32,141 FLS were evaluated. FLS cells cultured alone exhibited 4 distinct activation states: FLS cluster 1 (FLS1) expressed extracellular matrix proteins (e.g. COL1A1, COL1A2) and TGFb (TGFBI, TGFB3); FLS2 expressed cell adhesion molecules (e.g. ITGB2, SELPLG); FLS3 expressed receptors for TGFb and resolvin (e.g.CMKLR1 and TGFBR1); and FLS4 expressed high levels of glycolytic enzymes and proliferation markers (e.g. LDHA, PGK1, ENO1 and PCNA). Interestingly, upon co-culture with MerTK/CD206neg an additional fifth cluster (FLS5) emerged with inflammatory properties In contrast to inflammatory effect of the MerTK/CD206neg STMs on FLS, the MerTK/CD206pos population, especially that isolated from biopsies of RA patients in sustained disease remission, induced repair response of FLS as manifested by increased expression of collagens (e.g. COL1A) and TGFb response genes (e.g. TGFBI) Importantly, MerTK/CD206neg and MerTK/CD206pos STMs isolated from the biopsies of the same patient (either with active RA or RA in remission) elicited these divergent FLS responses. These suggest that these two distinct STM populations play opposing role in synovium (pro-inflammatory versus protective).

Project description:TNF-like ligand 1A (TL1A) is a member of TNF receptor superfamily and involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases by inducing apoptosis via intracellular death domain or promoting inflammation through the activation of NFM-NM-:B by binding to its specific receptor death receptor 3 (DR3). Meanwhile, decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) competitively binds soluble TL1A in addition to Fas-ligand (FasL) and LIGHT and inhibits the signaling of TL1A via DR3. DcR3 overexpressed in rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts (RA-FLS) stimulated with inflammatory cytokines such as TNFM-NM-1 or IL-1M-NM-2 inhibits Fas-induced apoptosis. In contrast, DcR3 inhibited cell proliferation induced by inflammatory cytokines via membrane-bound TL1A expressed on RA-FLS. Therefore, TL1A-DcR3/DR3 signaling may be involved in the pathogenesis of RA by modulating apoptosis and proliferation of RA-FLS. We hypothesized that TL1A regulates the gene expression in RA-FLS. We used to search for genes in which expression in RA-FLS is regulated by the ligation of TL1A. RA-FLS were obtained from 4 RA patients (sample1-4). Each sample was incubated with either 1.0 M-NM-<g/ml recombinant human TL1A protein or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) diluted with serum-free Opti-MEM medium as non-stimulated control for 12 hours at 37M-BM-0C with 5% CO2. Gene expression in RA-FLS stimulated by TL1A was compared with that of their respective non-stimulated controls.

Project description:Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, competitively binds and inhibits members of the TNF family, including Fas ligand (FasL), LIGHT, and TL1A. DcR3 was recently reported not only to act as a decoy receptor for these TNFRs but also to play a role as a ligand for the pathogenesis of RA. We hypothesized that DcR3 regulates the gene expression in RA-FLS. We used to search for genes in which expression in RA-FLS is regulated by the ligation of DcR3. RA-FLS were obtained from 4 RA patients (sample1-4). Each sample was incubated with control IgG1 or human DcR3-Fc. Gene expression in RA-FLS stimulated by DcR3-Fc was compared with that of their respective unstimulated controls.

Project description:Rheumatoid synoviocytes, which consist of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and synovial macrophages (SM), are crucial for the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Particularly, FLS of RA patients (RA-FLS) exhibit invasive characteristics reminiscent of cancer cells, destroying cartilage and bone, although it remains unresolved how RA-FLS exhibit invasive phenotype. RA-FLS and SM originate differently from mesenchymal and myeloid cells, respectively, but share many pathologic functions. However, the molecular signatures and biological networks representing the distinct and shared features of the two cell types are unknown. Presently, we performed global transcriptome profiling of FLS and SM obtained from RA and osteoarthritis patients. By comparing the transcriptomes, we identified distinct molecular signatures and cellular processes defining invasiveness of RA-FLS and pro-inflammatory properties of RA synovial macrophages (RA-SM), respectively. Interestingly, under interleukin1β-stimulated condition, RA-FLS newly acquired pro-inflammatory signature mimicking RA-SM without losing invasive properties. We next reconstructed a network model that delineates the shared, RA-FLS-dominant (invasive), and RA-SM-dominant (inflammatory) processes. From the network model, we selected 13 genes, including POSTN and TWIST1, as novel regulator candidates responsible for FLS invasiveness. Of note, POSTN and TWIST1 expressions were elevated in independent RA-FLS and were further instigated by interleukin1β. In vitro functional assays demonstrated the requirement of POSTN and TWIST1 for migration and invasion of RA-FLS stimulated with interleukin1β. Taken together, our systems approach to rheumatoid synovitis provides a basis for identifying novel regulators responsible for pathological features of RA-FLS and RA-SM, demonstrating how a certain type of cells acquires functional redundancy under chronic inflammatory conditions. To identify molecular signatures of FLS and MLS in RA joints, we isolated FLS from synovial tissues of RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, obtained synovial macrophages from synovial fluid of RA patients, and differentiated control macrophages from peripheral blood of healthy subjects. Also, we stimulated FLS with IL1β, and then analyzed gene expression profiles of both IL1β-stimulated RA-FLS and OA-FLS
