Genome wide expression analysis of FABP4 modulation in urothelial cancer cell UM-UC14 and UM-UC9

ABSTRACT: Analysis of gene expression profiling in FABP4 modulation UM-UC14 and Um-UC9 cells. The overall objective was to identify genes regulated by PPARÎ³ signaling pathway in particular FABP4 Total RNA was obtained from FABP4 modulated (either by FABP4 knockdown or rosiglitazone treatment) UM-UC14 or UM-UC9 cells compared to untreated control

Project description:PPARÎ± is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of nutrient metabolism and inflammation. Although much is already known about the function of PPARÎ± in hepatic lipid metabolism, many PPARÎ±-dependent pathways and genes have yet to be discovered. In order to obtain an overview of PPARÎ±-regulated genes relevant to lipid metabolism, and to probe for novel candidate PPARÎ± target genes, livers from several animal studies in which PPARÎ± was activated and/or disabled were analyzed by Affymetrix GeneChips. Numerous novel PPARÎ±-regulated genes relevant to lipid metabolism were identified. Out of this set of genes, eight genes were singled out for study of PPARÎ±-dependent regulation in mouse liver and in mouse, rat, and human primary hepatocytes, including thioredoxin interacting protein (Txnip), electron-transferring-flavoprotein Î² polypeptide (Etfb), electron-transferring-flavoprotein dehydrogenase (Etfdh), phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (Pctp), endothelial lipase (EL, Lipg), adipose triglyceride lipase (Pnpla2), hormone-sensitive lipase (Lipe), and monoglyceride lipase (Mgll). Using an in silico screening approach, one or more PPAR response elements (PPREs) were identified in each of these genes. Since Pnpla2, Lipe, and Mgll contribute to hepatic triglyceride hydrolysis, gene regulation was studied under conditions of elevated hepatic lipids. In wild-type mice fed a high fat diet, the decrease in hepatic lipids following treatment with the PPARÎ± agonist Wy14643 was paralleled by significant up-regulation of Pnpla2, Lipe, and Mgll, suggesting that induction of triglyceride hydrolysis may contribute to the anti-steatotic role of PPARÎ±. Our study illustrates the power of transcriptional profiling to uncover novel PPARÎ±-regulated genes and pathways in liver. Experiment Overall Design: Primary rat and mouse hepatocytes were incubated in the presence (10 uM) or absence of the synthetic PPARÎ± ligand Wy14643 for 24 hours. Primary human hepatocytes were incubated in the presence (50 uM) or absence of Wy14643 for 12 hours. Total RNA was pooled within groups and hybridized onto Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays, Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays or Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays.
