Project description:We studied macrophage gene expression from mice fed chow diet (C) or 60% high fat diet (HF), that phagocytized C-RBC, HFD-RBC, or no RBC. Macrophages from mice on HF diet were activated toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype. In macrophages isolated from CD mice, RBC phagocytosis yielded a gene expression pattern similar to HF macrophages. Incubation of HF-RBC with macrophages resulted in a significantly more pronounced upregulation of pro-inflammatory chemokines as compared to C-RBC.

Project description:We explored early changes in gene expression in the livers and lungs of the HFD-fed, metastasizing mammary tumor-bearing and obesity-resistant mice mice. These alterations may have led to favorable conditions for both the formation of pro-inflammatory and pro-mitotic microenvironments in the target organs that promote immune cell infiltration and differentiation, as well as infiltration and proliferation of metastatic tumor cells. Total RNA was isolated from hepatic and pulmonary tissues of high fat diet fed-4T1 cell-injected mice or high fat diet fed-sham mice. Gene expressions were compared to control diet fed-same conditional mice.

Project description:Red blood cells (RBC) can act as carriers for therapeutic agents and given their biocompatibility and long lifespan in the circulation, they can substantially improve the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of many drugs. Maintaining RBC integrity and lifespan is important for the efficacy of RBC as drug carrier and can be a complex challenge of drug encapsulation. We investigated the impact of drug encapsulation by hypotonic dialysis on RBC physiology and integrity. Several parameters were compared between processed RBC loaded with L-asparaginase (“eryaspase�), processed RBC without drug and non-processed RBC. Processed RBC were less hydrated and displayed a reduction of intracellular content, relative to non-processed RBC. This reduction of intracellular content changed the RBC metabolomic profile, as indicated by the activation of the pentose phosphate pathway, but no impact on the global RBC proteomic profile was observed. We found that the encapsulation process caused moderate morphological changes and was accompanied by an increase of microparticles. Despite a decrease in their deformability, processed RBC were not mechanically retained in a spleen-mimicking device. Moreover, processed RBC had increased surface-to-volume ratio and osmotic resistance. Finally, the half-life of processed RBC was not significantly affected in a mouse model and our previous phase 1 clinical study showed that encapsulation of asparaginase in RBC prolonged its in vivo half-life compared to free form. Overall, our study demonstrated that encapsulation by hypotonic dialysis may affect certain several characteristics of RBC, but does not significantly impact on the in vivo longevity of RBC or their drug carrier function.

Project description:LECT2 is a liver derived cytokine and involved in many pathologic conditions, especially in immune regulation. To better understand cellular and molecular mechanisms of LECT2 in immune response, mouse peritoneal macrophages were isolated from mouse peritonaeum. After treatment with 0, 0.5 or 5 μg/ml of LECT2 for 3.5 or 48 hours, gene expression profile in mouse peritoneal macrophages was measured using gene expression array. Results showed that LECT2 treatment led to the enhancement of cytokines secretion and phagocytosis in peritoneal macrophages. Gene expression in mouse peritoneal macrophages isolated from mouse peritonaeum were measured after exposure to 0,0.5 or 5 μg/ml LECT2 for 3.5 or 48 hours using gene expression array. Two independent experiments were performed using different mice for each experiment for gene expression array analysis.

Project description:Overnutrition during pregnancy inM-oM-,M-^Buences the future health of the offspring, with outcomes differing depending on the childM-bM-^@M-^Ys sex. The placenta is involved in the programming of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Sex-specific adaptation of the placenta may be central to the differences in fetal growth and survival. The impact of diet and fetal sex on placental gene expression and epigenetic marks was investigated in mice fed a high-fat (HFD) or a control diet (CD), during the first 15 days of gestation Microarrays analysis revealed that expression was affected by maternal diet and was sexually dimorphic. We analyzed the placentae of 4 mice litters fed with an high-fat diet (HFD) and 4 with a control diet (CD). For each litter, the placenta transcriptome was analysed according to the foetus sex using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Array data was processed by Affymetrix Exon Array Computational Tool. No technical replicates were performed.

Project description:We have previously reported that providing a control diet to obese and diabetic mice during the periconceptional/gestation/lactation period, led to a drastic sex-specific shift from susceptibility to resistance to high fat feeding (HFD) in the female offspring. In the present study, we aimed to characterize exhaustively the metabolic phenotype of F1 and F2 sensitive (S1, S2) and resistant (R1, R2) mice and underscore in the liver, muscle and adipose tissue, the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms supporting the response to HFD, the trait of resistance/susceptibility and the adaptation across generations. We report the transcriptomic analyses realized based on a candidate gene approach in the liver using a custom mouse microchip. A direct comparison strategy with dye-swapping was used to compare two conditions and dye-swaps were replicated several times with at least 4 different animals/group. The comparisons of primary interest: S1 vs N1 (S1/N1); S2 vs N2 (S2/N2); R2 vs N2 (R2/N2); R2 vs S2 (R2/S2) and S2 vs S1 (S2/S1) were made according to a design such that secondary comparisons could be estimated.

Project description:Gene expression studies in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) can provide knowledge that would be difficult to obtain using other types of biological samples, as these cells can reflect overall response of the body to a specific stimulus, such as diet. Here, we aimed to study the impact of sustained intake of isocaloric diets with an unbalanced macronutrient proportion (rich in fat or protein) on PBMC gene expression in rats using transcriptomics, to better understand the effects of these diets on metabolism and health. Macronutrient diet composition (especially increased protein content) affected PBMC gene expression. An important effect was observed in immune response-related genes. High protein (HP) diet produced an activation of genes mainly related to antigen recognition/presentation, whereas the high fat (HF) diet was more related to a decreased expression of these genes. Key energy homeostasis genes (mainly involved in lipid metabolism) were also affected, reflecting a nutritional adaptive response to the diets. Decreased Dhrs3 and increased Pref-1/Dlk1 expression observed in HP-fed animals reflects a lower lipogenic capacity. In addition, HF diet affected the expression of genes related to insulin resistance/signaling (Msra/Slc9a6, Asb6), hypoxia (Akap12), cardiovascular problems (Ethe1, Lr11), cognitive impairment (Tmcc2) and tumorigenesis (Ddx17, Phb, Rnasen/Drosha, and Tsc2). HP diet also impaired the expression of genes related to glucose metabolism and insulinemia (Glut-4/Slc2a4, Sfxn5, Slc16a1), but positively affected genes involved in liver function (Clec4f and St6galnac3) and cardiovascular protection (Sort1). In conclusion, gene expression analysis in PBMC can provide information that could be useful to detect metabolic deviations and health consequences of diets with an unbalanced macronutrient composition. 2 months-old male Wistar rats received a low fat control diet, or a high fat (HF) diet, or a high protein (HP) diet for 4 months, respectively. At the end of the intervention, prior to the sacrifice of the animals, peripheral blood samples (1.5-2.5 mL) were collected from the safena vein, using heparin in NaCl (0.9%) as anticoagulant. Immediately after blood collection, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by Ficoll gradient separation. Total RNA was isolated from PBMC, quantified and qualified, and subsequently used for global gene expression profiling using Agilent 4x44K microarrays.

Project description:Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to obesity and diabetes, suggesting an important role of adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Here we aim to investigate the interaction between adipose tissue and liver in NAFLD, and identify potential early plasma markers that predict NASH. Research Design and Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were chronically fed a high fat diet to induce NAFLD and compared with mice fed low fat diet. Extensive histological and phenotypical analyses coupled with a time-course study of plasma proteins using multiplex assay was performed. Results: Mice exhibited pronounced heterogeneity in liver histological scoring, leading to classification into 4 subgroups: LF-low (LFL) responders displaying normal liver morphology, LF-high (LFH) responders showing benign hepatic steatosis, HF-low (HFL) responders displaying pre-NASH with macrovesicular lipid droplets, and HF-high (HFH) responders exhibiting overt NASH characterized by ballooning of hepatocytes, presence of Mallory bodies, and activated inflammatory cells. Compared to HFL responders, HFH mice gained weight more rapidly and exhibited adipose tissue dysfunction characterized by decreased final fat mass, enhanced macrophage infiltration and inflammation, and adipose tissue remodelling. Plasma haptoglobin, IL-1β, TIMP-1, adiponectin and leptin were significantly changed in HFH mice. Multivariate analysis indicated that in addition to leptin, plasma CRP, haptoglobin, eotaxin and MIP-1α early in the intervention were positively associated with liver triglycerides. Intermediate prognostic markers of liver triglycerides included IL-18, IL-1β, MIP-1γ and MIP-2, whereas insulin, TIMP-1, GCP-2 and MPO emerged as late markers. Conclusions: Our data support the existence of a tight relationship between adipose tissue dysfunction and NASH pathogenesis and point to several novel potential predictive biomarkers for NASH. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Male wildtype C57Bl/6 mice were fed LFD or HFD for 21 weeks. Mice were divided into 4 groups based on liver histology.

Project description:The global prevalence of obesity is increasing across age and gender. The rising burden of obesity in young people contributes to the early emergence of type 2 diabetes. Having one parent obese is an independent risk factor for childhood obesity. While the detrimental impact of diet-induced maternal obesity on offspring is well established, the extent of the contribution of obese fathers is unclear, as is the role of non-genetic factors in the casual pathway. Here we show that paternal high fat diet exposure programmed β-cell âdysfunctionâ in their F1 female offspring. Chronic high fat diet consumption in Sprague Dawley fathers led to increased body weight, adiposity, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Relative to controls, their female offspring had lower body weight at day-1, increased pubertal growth rate, impaired insulin secretion and glucose tolerance, in the absence of obesity or increased adiposity. Paternal high fat diet was observed to alter gene expression of pancreatic islet genes in adult female offspring (P < 0.001); affected functional clusters includes calcium ion binding, insulin, apoptosis, Wnt and cell cycle organ/system development. This is the first reported study in mammals describing non-genetic, intergenerational transmission of metabolic sequelae of high fat diet from father to offspring. These findings support a role of fathers in metabolic programming of offspring and form a framework for further studies. F0 founders were male Sprague Dawley rats, divided into two groups, high fat (HF) and control. The HF fathers were given commercially prepared high-fat pellets (43% as fat); while the controls ate standard laboratory chow (9% as fat). The two groups of fathers had distinct phenotype; the HF fathers were significantly heavier with increased adiposity, they were also glucose intolerant and insulin resistant. At 15 weeks of age, fathers were mated with normal females consuming chow, to generate the F1 offspring. Only female offspring were studied. Female offspring were weaned unto standard laboratory chow at 3 weeks. At 6 and 12 weeks, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IpGTT) was performed to measure blood glucose and insulin profile; at 11 weeks, intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test was done. The body weight and adiposity of these offspring were not different between the two groups. The HF offspring had glucose intolerance and impaired glucose-induced insulin response, mainly at the acute phase, observed since 6 weeks. The IpITT was not different between groups. At 13 weeks, islets were harvested from the two groups of offspring.
