Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of human liver biopsies from HCV+ patients and healthy donors

ABSTRACT: Human livers biopsies from HCV+ patients and healthy donors were collected . RNA and Protein were extract and The Human Adipogenesis RTM-BM-2 ProfilerM-bM-^DM-" PCR ArrayM-BM- was used to compare the gene expression in the two group. At the same time PBMCs were collected and the same array were used to compare the adipogenesis expression in the two system. qPCR gene expression profiling. Fresh Livers from 40 HBV+ and 20 HD patients were used . Equal amount total RNA from each samples were used.

Project description:Background: Myeloid cells (MCs) reside in the aortic intima at regions predisposed to atherosclerosis. Systemic inflammation triggers reverse transendothelial migration (RTM) of intimal MCs into arterial blood, which orchestrates a protective immune response that clears intracellular pathogens from the arterial intima. Molecular pathways that regulate RTM remain poorly understood. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lipid mediator that regulates immune cell trafficking by signaling via five G protein-coupled receptors (S1PRs). We investigated the role of S1P in the RTM of aortic intimal MCs. Methods: Intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to model a systemic inflammatory stimulus that triggers RTM. CD11c+ intimal MCs in the lesser curvature of the ascending aortic arch were enumerated by en face confocal microscopy. Local gene expression was evaluated by transcriptomic analysis of microdissected intimal cells. Results: In wild-type C57BL/6 mice, LPS induced intimal cell expression of S1pr1, S1pr3, and sphingosine kinase 1 (Sphk1, a kinase responsible for S1P production). Pharmacological modulation of multiple S1PRs blocked LPS-induced RTM and modulation of S1PR1 and S1PR3 reduced RTM in an additive manner. Cre-mediated deletion of S1pr1 in MCs blocked LPS-induced RTM, confirming a role for myeloid-specific S1PR1 signaling. Global or hematopoietic deficiency of Sphk1 reduced plasma S1P levels, the abundance of CD11c+ MCs in the aortic intima and blunted LPS-induced RTM. In contrast, plasma S1P levels, the abundance of intimal MCs, and LPS-induced RTM were rescued in Sphk1-/- mice transplanted with Sphk1+/+ or mixed Sphk1 +/+ and -/- bone marrow. Stimulation with LPS increased endothelial permeability and intimal MC exposure to circulating factors such as S1P. Conclusions: Functional and expression studies support a novel role for S1P signaling in the regulation of LPS-induced RTM as well as the homeostatic maintenance of aortic intimal MCs. Our data provides insight into how circulating plasma mediators help orchestrate intimal MC dynamics.
