Heart Failure, DITPA and Captopril

ABSTRACT: Three weeks after infarction, age matched rats with large infarction by ECG criteria were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: 1) Treatment with Captopril for 21 days and a daily subcutaneous dose of DITPA for the last 10 days of treatment, 2) Treatment for 10 days with DITPA alone, 3) Control heart failure and 4) Sham-operated. Keywords: Drug Effects on Heart Failure Total RNA was prepared from left ventricle using TRIzol and later Poly A+ RNA was isolated with Oligotex beads. About 0.5ug Poly A+ RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with Alexa Fluor 546 and 647. Labeled probed were hybridized with Operon's rat Unigene oligo library printed on glass slides. After 2 lows and 1 high stringency washes, Prolong Antifade was added to the slides to prevent any bleaching effect. The experiments were repeated 2-4 times by dye-swaping. Slides were scanned in Array Worx scanner with dual wave length. The data ratio was normalized using a location and intensity dependent Lowess formula.

We have used an oligonucleotide microarray to identify genes that are affected by congestive heart failure and those influenced by treatment with DITPA and DITPA in combination with captopril using a rat postinfarction model. The most striking result when comparing heart failure to sham operation was that all of the mitochondrial and metabolic enzymes affected were down regulated. When comparing heart failure with DITPA treatment, most of the down regulated metabolic genes were returned toward n ...[more]

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins maintain transcriptional repression of developmentally important genes and have been implicated in cell proliferation and stem-cell self-renewal. We used a genome-wide approach to map binding patterns of PcG proteins (Pc, esc and Sce) in Drosophila Kc cells. We found that Pc associates with large genomic regions of up to ~150kb in size, hereafter referred to as âPc-domainsâ. Sce and esc accompany Pc in most of these domains. PcG-bound chromatin is trimethylated at histone H3 lysine 27 and in general transcriptionally silent. Furthermore, PcG proteins preferentially bind to developmental genes. Many of these encode transcriptional regulators and key components of signal transduction pathways, including Wingless, Hedgehog, Notch and Delta. We also identify several new putative functions of PcG proteins, such as in steroid hormone biosynthesis. These results highlight the extensive involvement of PcG proteins in the coordination of development through the formation of large repressive chromatin domains. Keywords: DamID, Chromatin immunoprecipitation, ChIP-chip To study PcG binding profiles we used DamID, which is based on the ability of a chromatin protein fused to E.coli DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) to methylate the native binding site of the chromatin protein. Dam-fusion proteins are expressed at very low levels to avoid mistargeting. Subsequently, methylated DNA fragments are isolated, labeled and hybridized to a microarray. Methylated DNA fragments from cells transfected with Dam alone served as reference. Genomic binding sites of the protein can then be identified based on the targeted methylation pattern.
