Although changes in gene expression are necessary for arterial remodeling during hypertension, the genes altered and their mechanisms of regulation remain uncertain. The goal of this study was to identify cerebral artery genes altered by hypertension and define signaling pathways important in their regulation. Intact cerebral arteries from Dahl salt-sensitive normotensive and hypertensive high-salt (HS) rats were examined by immunostaining, revealing an increased phosphorylation of extracellular ...[more]

Project description:This study aims at a comprehensive understanding of the genomic program activated during early-phase of collateral vessel growth in a rat model for cerebral adaptive arteriogenesis (3-VO). While arteriogenesis constitutes a promising therapeutic concept for cerebrovascular ischemia, genomic profiles essential for therapeutic target identification were analysed solely for collateral arteries of the heart and periphery. Despite challenging anatomical conditions of the brain the 3-VO model allows identification of differentially expressed genes during adaptive cerebral arteriogenesis by selective removal of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA). Experiment Overall Design: Using an established rat model of nonischemic cerebral hypoperfusion (3-VO) (Busch, Buschmann; 2003), RNA was extracted from isolated ipsilateral PCA. Pooled RNAs from groups of intact (0h), sham and 3-VO animals 24h and 3 days after surgery, were hybridised repeatedly for an extensive genome screen of 15866 genes applying standardized Affymetrix technology. For each Array total RNA from 8 animals was processed, pooled and hybridized to a Rat230A GeneChip per group. These groups were classified as follows: intact control (N=3), 24h3VO (N=3); 24h sham (N=3), 3days3VO (N=3); and 3days sham(N=3). Hybridization, washing, antibody amplification, staining, and scanning of probe arrays were performed according to the Affymetrix Technical Manual. Probe arrays were scanned using the GeneChip System (Hewlett-Packard, Santa Cruz, CA)(Affymetrix) and raw data were processed using GCOS and normalized to a global intensity of 500.

Project description:Using data-independent acquisition-based mass spectrometry analysis, we determined the protein changes in cerebral arteries in pre- and early-onset hypertension from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), a model that resembles essential hypertension. Our analysis identified 125 proteins with expression levels that were significantly up- or downregulated in 12-week old SHRs compared to normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats. Using an angiogenesis enrichment analysis, we identified a critical imbalance in angiogenic proteins, promoting an anti-angiogenic profile in cerebral arteries at the early-onset of hypertension. In a comparison to previously published data, we demonstrate that this angiogenic imbalance is not present in mesenteric and renal arteries from age-matched SHRs. Finally, we identified two proteins (Fbln5 and Cdh13), whose expression levels were critically altered in cerebral arteries compared to the other arterial beds. The observation of an angiogenic imbalance in cerebral arteries from the SHR reveals critical protein changes in the cerebrovasculature at the early-onset of hypertension and provides novel insight into the early pathology of cerebrovascular disease.

Project description:High-flow causes the remodeling of arteries, in which smooth muscle cells play an important role. To know the profile of smooth muscle gene expression under high-flow conditions in vivo, flow of rabbit basilar artery was increased by ligation of both common carotid arteries. Microarrays were performed to profile the gene expression of smooth muscle cells isolated from rabbit basilar artery. Expression profiles indicate 43603 differentially expressed genes in smooth muscle cells exposed to high-flow insult compared with the sham control, of which 1470 genes were upregulated and 780 genes downregulated using 2 fold-changes and P<0.05 as a cut-off. Bilateral common carotid arteries of female New Zealand White rabbits were ligated to increase vascular flow.The control group was performed the same procedure to expose the CCAs without ligation. Rabbits were euthanized at day 5 after ligation or exposure of bilateral CCAs in both groups (n=3 for each group). The rabbits used and all procedures in this study were approved by the local Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Smooth muscle cells were isolated. After euthanization of rabbits, the whole basilar arteries were removed. The arteries were cleaned in PBS buffer,cannulated and perfused at a constant flow with a cocktail which contains PBS and 0.4 mg/ml elastase (Sigma) and 1 mg/ml collagenase (type 1A, Sigma). After an incubation time of 45 min, the tissue left was removed and stored in PBS. SMCs were released from the artery by trituration. Then Total RNA was extracted and gene chip tests were performed.

Project description:Several recent reports show that the cerebral cortex in humans and animals with altered expressions of Wnt/cadherin network-associate molecules display cytoarchitectural abnormalities reminiscent of cortical dysplasias seen in some (mouse-, rat-, and monkey-based) animal models of prenatal cocaine exposure. Therefore, we employed oligo microarrays followed by real-time RT-PCR to compare expressions of genes involved in Wnt and cadherin systems in the cerebral wall of 18-day-old (E18) fetuses from cocaine-treated (20 mg/kg cocaine, s.c., b.i.d., E8-18) and drug-naive (saline, s.c.) mice. The pregnant mice chronically treated with cocaine in the above-described manner represent one of the animal models producing offspring with widespread cortical dysplasias. Out of more than 150 relevant genes in the arrays, 32 were upregulated and 9 were downregulated in cocaine-exposed fetuses. The majority of these genes (30 out of 41) were similarly affected in the frontal and occipital regions of the cerebral wall. We also used Western immunoblotting to examine the ability of cocaine to regulate the protein levels of beta-catenin, the key functional component of both Wnt and cadherin systems. While the total cell levels of beta-catenin were increased throughout the cerebral wall of cocaine-exposed fetuses, its nuclear (gene-transcription driving) levels remained unaltered. This suggests a transcription-unrelated role for cocaine-induced upregulation of this protein. Overall, our findings point to an intriguing possibility that that cerebral cortical dysplasias observed in several animal models of prenatal cocaine exposure may be at least in part related to alterations in the Wnt/cadherin molecular network. It has been demonstrated that exposure to cocaine increases cell death in the fetal CNS. To examine the molecular mechanisms of this effect, we employed mouse oligo microarrays followed by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) to compare expressions of apoptosis-related genes in the cerebral wall of 18-day-old (E18) fetuses from cocaine-treated (20 mg/kg cocaine, s.c., b.i.d., E8th-E18th) and drug-naive (saline, s.c.) mice. Out of approximately 400 relevant genes in the arrays, 53 showed alterations in expression in cocaine-exposed fetuses. Upregulation was observed in 35 proapoptotic and 8 antiapoptotic genes; 4 proapoptotic and 6 antiapoptotic genes were down-regulated. The affected genes encode a wide range of apoptosis-related proteins, including death receptors (NTF-R1, NTF-R2, DR3, DR5, LTbeta-R, GITR, P57 TR-1) and their adaptor and regulatory proteins (MASGE-D1, TRAF-2, SIVA, MET, FLIP, FAIM, IAP1, ATFA), members of transcription regulatory pathways (JNK, NF-kappaB, P53), members of BCL-2 family of proteins (BID, BAD, BAX, BIK, NIP21, NIP3, NIX, BCL-2), DNA damage sensor (PARP-1), caspases and their substrates and regulatory proteins (caspases 8, 4, 9, and 3, ACINUS, CIDE-A, CIDE-B, GAS2), mitochondrially released factors (cytochrome c, AIF, PRG3), specific endoplasmic reticulum- and oxidative stress-associated factors (BACH2, ABL1, ALG2, CHOP), members of cell survival AKT and HSP70 pathways (PIK3GA, PTEN, HSP70, BAG1, BAG2), and others. This suggests that cocaine affects survival of developing cerebral cells via multiple apoptosis-regulating mechanisms. Experiment Overall Design: Animals Experiment Overall Design: Timed pregnant Swiss Webster (CFW; Charles River Experiment Overall Design: Lab. Wilmington, MA) dams were maintained in individual Experiment Overall Design: cages in a climate-controlled room on a 12/12-h light/ Experiment Overall Design: dark cycle. They were divided into two groups. The first Experiment Overall Design: (experimental) group received subcutaneous (at the dorsum Experiment Overall Design: of the neck) injections of 20 mg/kg cocaine hydrochloride Experiment Overall Design: (Research Technology Branch, National Institute Experiment Overall Design: of Drug Abuse, Rockville, MD) dissolved in 200 mkl of Experiment Overall Design: 0.9% saline, twice a day (at 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM) from Experiment Overall Design: 8th through 18th day of pregnancy (E8âE18). The second Experiment Overall Design: (control) group was subjected to the same schedule of Experiment Overall Design: 0.9% saline only injections. The cocaine treatment was Experiment Overall Design: designed to replicate the one capable of reducing cerebral Experiment Overall Design: cortical mass in mouse offspring. Also, the Experiment Overall Design: relatively protracted period the chronic treatment was Experiment Overall Design: chosen to maximize the changes in the tissue expression Experiment Overall Design: of cocaine-regulated genes of interest. Throughout the Experiment Overall Design: treatment, all mice were weighed daily, and, from E8, the Experiment Overall Design: control and experimental animals were pair-fed, with the Experiment Overall Design: daily amount of food (Mouse Chow; Ralston Purina Saint Experiment Overall Design: Louis, MO) provided to each control dam being matched Experiment Overall Design: to that consumed by the paired experimental dam.

The animal experimentations Experiment Overall Design: used in this study were approved by the University of Experiment Overall Design: Maryland Animal Care and Use Committee. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray Experiment Overall Design: Tissue from two control and two experimental fetuses Experiment Overall Design: were used in the processing of a single microarray slide Experiment Overall Design: (Part G4121A, Agilent Technol). Five slides were processed Experiment Overall Design: per region of the fetal cerebral wall. For a given region, the Experiment Overall Design: tissue for each microarray slide was obtained from a Experiment Overall Design: separate set of control and experimental litters. Total RNA Experiment Overall Design: was isolated using TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Experiment Overall Design: CA). The yield of total RNA was determined by absorbance Experiment Overall Design: at 260 nm on a DU 640 Spectrophotometer (Beckman Experiment Overall Design: Coulter, Fullerton, CA). The 260/280 nm ratios of the Experiment Overall Design: samples were >1.8. For each assay, 5 mkg of RNA from Experiment Overall Design: control tissue and 5 mkg of RNA from experimental tissue Experiment Overall Design: were reverse transcribed using 3DNA Array Detection Kit Experiment Overall Design: (Genesphere, Hatfield, PA) with primers containing different Experiment Overall Design: dcaptureT sequences for control and experimental Experiment Overall Design: samples. SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase for these Experiment Overall Design: reactions was purchased from Gibco BRL (Gaithersburg, Experiment Overall Design: MD). The resultant cDNAs were hybridized to microarray Experiment Overall Design: slides for 16 h in Agilent Hybridization Buffer (Agilent Experiment Overall Design: Technol) at 60 8C. Upon completion of the hybridization, Experiment Overall Design: the slides were washed for 10 min with 0.005% Triton in Experiment Overall Design: 6xsodium chloride/sodium citrate buffer (pH 7; SSC) at Experiment Overall Design: room temperature and then for five more min with 0.005% Experiment Overall Design: Triton in 0.1xSSC and 1 more minute in 0.1xSSC (pH 7), Experiment Overall Design: both at 4 8C.

Project description:The Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rat model develops chronic hypertensive disease when fed a high salt diet that ultimately results in renal and heart failure, as well as prevalent cerebrovascular pathologies. Phenotypic changes in the cerebral vasculature are preceded by changes in gene expression, and evidence supports a role for extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in vascular cell proliferation, yet little is known regarding ERK1/2 –regulated gene transcription in cerebrovascular smooth muscle during hypertension. Findings presented here support the hypothesis that salt-induced hypertensive disease results in upregulation of ERK1/2 activity and ERK1/2-regulated genes that promote remodeling in cerebral resistance arteries. Dahl S rats were fed either a 0.4% NaCl (low salt, LS) or 8% NaCl (high salt, HS) diet until evidence of left ventricular dysfunction. Gene expression profiling using oligonucleotide array analysis detected a significant fold-change of 1.5 or greater in 133 out of 15,923 genes examined. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-regulated genes were overrepresented and provided a link to genes involved in proliferation and extracellular matrix signaling including plasminogen activator inhibitor I (PAI-1), osteopontin (OPN) and junB. These data suggests that salt induced hypertensive disease promotes hyperplasia and changes in matricellular genes that are likely important in vascular remodeling.

Project description:This data set shows dramatic changes in gene expression in microglia isolated from C57Bl6/J mice subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, as compared to those subjected to sham surgery. Mice deficient in Mincle (Clec4e-/-) showed significantly improved injury outcomes 3 and 7 days after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. However, when comparing changes in gene expression in microglia 24 hours after blood reperfusion, there were no differences between wild-type and Clec4e-/- mice, indicating that Mincle does not participate in early microglial activation. Wild type and Mincle knock-out (Clec4e-/-) mice. After 1 h of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) and 24 h of reperfusion, mice were perfused with PBS, their brains dissected, and 2 ipsilesional hemispheres (with cerebellum and brainstem removed) pooled for microglia isolation. For sham-operated animals, the whole forebrain was used and brains were not pooled. After myelin separation by Percoll gradient centrifugation, around 80,000 CD45intermediate, CD11b+ microglial cells were sorted from each sample. Sham samples n=3, tMCAO samples n=5.

Project description:The Circle of Willis (CoW), the ring of arteries at the base of the brain, links the intracerebral arteries to one another to maintain adequate cerebral perfusion. The CoW proteome is affected in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, but changes related to aging have not been described. Here, we report on a quantitative proteomics analysis comparing the CoW from five young (two-three-month-old) and five aged (18–20-month-old) mice.

Project description:We investigated the effects of PACAP treatment, and endogenous PACAP deficiency, on infarct volume, neurological function, and the cerebrocortical transcriptional response in a mouse model of stroke, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). PACAP-38 administered i.v. or i.c.v. one hour after MCAO significantly reduced infarct volume, and ameliorated functional motor deficits measured 24 hours later in wild-type mice. Infarct volumes and neurological deficits (walking faults) were both greater in PACAP-deficient than in wild-type mice, but treatment with PACAP reduced lesion volume and neurological deficits in PACAP-deficient mice to the same level of improvement as in wild-type mice. A 35,546-clone mouse cDNA microarray was used to investigate cortical transcriptional changes associated with cerebral ischemia in wild-type and PACAP-deficient mice, and with PACAP treatment after MCAO in wild-type mice. 229 known (named) transcripts were increased (228) or decreased (1) in abundance at least 50% following cerebral ischemia in wild-type mice. 49 transcripts were significantly up-regulated only at one hour post-MCAO (acute response transcripts), 142 were up-regulated only at 24 hours post-MCAO (delayed response transcripts) and 37 transcripts were up-regulated at both times (sustained response transcripts). More than 50% of these are transcripts not previously reported to be associated with brain ischemia responses. Many of the acutely regulated neurotrauma-associated transcripts, but a larger percentage of the delayed ones, require endogenous PACAP for up-regulation by ischemia, suggesting a more prominent role for PACAP in later response to injury than in the initial response, and consistent with a neuroprotective role for PACAP in late response to injury and neuroprotective efficacy when given post-MCAO. Putative injury effector transcripts regulated by PACAP include ãÃ-actin, midline 2, and metallothionein 1. Potential neuroprotective transcripts include several demonstrated to be PACAP-regulated in other contexts. Prominent among these were transcripts encoding the PACAP-regulated gene Ier3, and the neuropeptides enkephalin, substance P (tachykinin 1), and neurotensin. In the hybridization method employed, equal amounts (2-5ãÃg/15.5 ãÃl) of total RNA obtained from brain tissue of different experimental groups were separately labeled with two different fluorescent dyes (Cy3 or Cy5) and applied on the same NIMH Mouse 36K cDNA microarray chip containing 13217 distinct Entrez gene IDs (formerly known as LocusLink) and 15888 distinct unigene IDs, the remainders are incompletely annotated IMAGE clones. Probe preparation and hybridization were performed as follows. The total RNA (15-50 ãÃg in 15.5 ãÃl) was incubated with amine-modified random primer (2 ãÃg/ãÃl, 2 ãÃl) and RNase inhibitor (5 units/ãÃl, 1 ãÃl) at 70 äaC for 10 min. Primer-RNA solution was then incubated at 42 äaC for 2 hr with the reverse transcriptase mix containing 5X first-strand buffer, 50X aa-dUTP/dNTPs (25 mM dATP, 25 mM dGTP, 25 mM dCTP, 15 mM dTTP and 10 mM aminoallyl dUTP), 0.1 M DDT, and Superscript II reverse transcriptase. The cDNA were labeled with NHS-ester Cy3 or Cy5 dye in the presence of 1 M sodium bicarbonate. Array slides placed in a hybridization chamber (Corning, Corning, NY) were incubated at 42 äaC for 16-24 hr, and successively washed with 0.5X SSC, 0.01% SDS, and 0.06X SSC at room temperature for 10 min each. Arrays were scanned with a GenePix 4000A scanner (Axon, Foster City, CA), and the resulting images were analyzed using IPlab (Fairfax, VA) and a FileMaker Pro 5 (Santa Clara, CA) relational database designed by Zedong Chen, NHGRI. Following background subtraction and normalization, a calculated ratio of Cy3 to Cy5 signal intensities was used to define the relative increase or decrease of a particular transcript. Ratios were calculated only from those spots with a combined ratio quality above 0.3.
