Expression data from Human gingival fibroblast transfected with CEMP1

ABSTRACT: Cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) is involved in cell adhesion, cell differentiation, regulates the mineralization processes during cementogenesis, and selects progenitor cells from periodontal ligament. To determine the gene expression profiling induced by CEMP1 overexpression by non-osteogenic cells such as human gingival fibroblasts we performed microarrays (Human Gene 1.0 ST, Affymetrix) to identify differentially expressed transcripts (ED) between human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and those that overexpress CEMP1 (HGF/CEMP1). HGF cells overexpressing CEMP1 and controls were harvested at 3, 7 and 14 days after transfection of CEMP1, three biological replicates were analyzed for each time point and condition for a total of 18 microarrays.

Project description:Background: Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug frequently found in the aquatic environment. Previous studies have reported histological changes in the liver, kidney and gills of fish at concentrations similar to those measured in treated sewage effluents (~1 µg/L). Analyses or predictions of blood plasma levels in fish allow a direct comparison with human therapeutic plasma levels, and may therefore be used to indicate a risk for pharmacological effects in fish. To relate internal exposure to a pharmacological interaction we therefore investigated global hepatic gene expression together with bioconcentration to blood plasma and liver of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to waterborne diclofenac. Results: At the highest exposure (81.5µg/L) the fish plasma concentration reached ~88% of the human therapeutic levels (Cmax) after two weeks. Using an oligonucleotide microarray followed by quantitative PCR we found extensive effects on hepatic gene expression at this concentration, and some genes were regulated down to the lowest concentration tested (1.6 µg/L) corresponding to ~1.5% of the human Cmax. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed effects on biological processes such as inflammation and immune response, in agreement with the expected mode of action of diclofenac. In contrast to some previously reported results, the bioconcentration factor was found to be stable (4.02±0.75 for blood plasma and 2.54±0.36 for liver) regardless of the water concentration. Conclusions: Hepatic gene expression is affected in fish at blood levels similar to and below the human Cmax. This adds confidence to the use of fish blood plasma levels to predict risks for pharmacological responses in fish. The microarray results indicate similarities in the mode of action of diclofenac between humans and fish. The identified set of regulated genes may contain useful exposure biomarkers to be used in complex exposure scenarios. Juvenile rainbow trout was exposed to waterborne diclofenac at a series of different concentrations for 14 days. A flow-through system was used for eight aquaria (two per concentration), each containing 12 trouts. Nominal exposure concentrations: 1µg/L, 10 µg/L, 100 µg/L and control. Total RNA for biotinylated aRNA synthesis was extracted from the liver. Samples of aRNA from two fish from the same aquarium were pooled before the assay. In total, four biochips were analyzed corresponding to 32 microarrays. As we used two aquaria per concentration, these 32 microarrays allowed the analyses of four aRNA pools (eight fish) per aquarium, which is equal to eight pools per concentration of diclofenac.
