Project description:Pig breeds have different attitude to traits like growth rate, carcass composition and reproduction parameters as well as other traits. These traits considered as external traits or end phenotypes are the outcome of complex biological processes and interactions. The main goal of pig breeding programs and the basis for crossbreeding is finding a balance between these traits. In pig production, Large White and Duroc breeds are commonly used to optimise respectively fertility and growth ability and differ on several production traits, indeed the first breed as a high fertility characters whereas Duroc is used as terminal sire for her growth performance and good carcass quality traits. In this study, we have used a quantitative label-free LC-MS proteomics approach to characterise and compare the liver proteome of two heavy Italian pig breeds, Italian Duroc and Italian Large White to identify difference due to their different genetic background. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 703094.

Project description:Type I IFNs are implicated in the pathophysiology of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Recently, a Phase I open-label trial was conducted with an anti-IFNAR1 receptor antibody (anifrolumab) in adult SSc patients. In this study, we aim to assess the downstream effects of anifrolumab and elucidate the role of type I IFN in SSc. Serum proteins and extracellular matrix (ECM) markers were measured in relation to IFN pathway activation status and SSc disease activity. Our results demonstrated a robust overexpression of multiple serum proteins in SSc patients, particularly those with an elevated baseline type I IFN gene signature. Anifrolumab administration was associated with significant downregulation of T cell–associated proteins and upregulation of type III collagen degradation marker. Whole-blood and skin microarray results also indicated the inhibition of T cell receptor and ECM–related transcripts by anifrolumab. In summary, our study demonstrates suppressive effects of anifrolumab on T cell activation and collagen accumulation through which tissue fibrosis may be reduced in SSc patients. The relationship between these peripheral markers and the clinical response to anifrolumab may be examined in larger double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. PAXGene whole blood tubes were collected from 29 SSc subjects at baseline and day 56 after anifrolumab administration, and skin biopsies were procured from 10 SSc subjects at baseline and day 28 after multiple-doses of anifrolumab administration.

Project description:Anti-TNF-alpha therapy has made a significant impact on the treatment of psoriasis. Despite being designed to neutralize TNF-alpha activity, the mechanism of action of these agents in the resolution of psoriasis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to better understand the mechanism of action of etanercept by examining very early changes in the lesional skin of psoriasis patients. 20 chronic plaque psoriasis patients were enrolled and received 50mg etanercept twice weekly. Skin biopsies were obtained before treatment and on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 post-treatment. Skin mRNA expression was analysed by microarray. Twenty individuals with chronic plaque psoriasis were enrolled (age range 18-75 years). Entry criteria included age greater than 18 years and stable plaque-type psoriasis involving at least 10% body surface area. Exclusion criteria included use of systemic psoriasis therapy within 4 weeks, topical therapy within 2 weeks, or severe co-morbid diseases. For 12 weeks, subjects received etanercept (Enbrel) 50mg twice a week subcutaneously. At baseline, 6 mm punch biopsies were obtained under local anaesthesia (lidocaine) from uninvolved skin and a target plaque. Subsequent biopsies were taken on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 of therapy from the same target plaque.

Project description:Dietary collagen hydrolysate has been conjectured to improve skin barrier function. To investigate the effect of long-term collagen hydrolysate administration on the skin, we evaluated stratum corneum water content and skin elasticity in intrinsic aged mice. Female 9-week-old hairless mice were fed a control diet, or a collagen hydrolysate-containing diet, for 12 weeks. The stratum corneum water content and skin elasticity were sequentially decreased by chronological aging in control mice. Intake of collagen hydrolysate significantly suppressed such changes. Moreover, we comprehensively analyzed gene expression in the skin of mouse, which had been administered collagen hydrolysate, using DNA microarray. Twelve weeks after start of collagen intake, no significant differences appeared in gene expression profile compared to that of control group. However, 12 weeks after administration, 135 genes were up-regulated and 448 genes were down-regulated in collagen group compared to control group. It is indicate that gene changes preceded changes of barrier function and elasticity. We focused on several genes correlated with functional changes in the skin. Gene Ontology terms, especially related to epidermal cell development, were signi?cantly enriched in up-regulated genes. These skin function-related genes had properties that facilitate epidermal production and differentiation and suppress dermal degradation. Thus, dietary collagen hydrolysate induced positive gene changes. In conclusion, our results suggest that alteration of gene expression at early stages after collagen administration affect skin barrier function and mechanical properties. Long-term oral intake of collagen hydrolysate improves skin dysfunction by regulating genes related to production and maintenance of the skin tissue. Nine-week-old female Hos:HR-1 hairless mice (Japan SLC Inc., Shizuoka, Japan) were used in this study. All mice were housed in plastic cages (4 mice/cage) in a temperature and humidity controlled room (24 ± 1°C and 50 ± 10% humidity) under a 12 hour light-dark cycle. Mice were given an AIN-93G (Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) diet and water. The present study was approved by the Animal Committee of Meiji Seika Kaisha Ltd., Food & Health R&D Laboratories, with the animals receiving care under the Guiding Principles for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of this committee. All surgery was performed under isoflurane anesthesia, and all efforts were made to minimize suffering. Sixteen female mice were randomly divided into two groups (n = 8 /group) according to their body weight, stratum corneum water content, and skin elasticity. During the experimental period for 12 weeks, the control group was fed a control diet (AIN-93G) and the collagen group was fed a collagen diet consisting of a mixture of 2.0 g of collagen hydrolysate and 100 g of the control diet. Fish scale collagen hydrolysate was purchased from Nitta Gelatin Inc. (Osaka, Japan). This amount of collagen hydrolysate is approximately equivalent to oral ingestion of 2.0 g collagen hydrolysate/kg body weight/day.

Project description:Patients with long-duration diabetes develop cardiovascular complications resulting in highly increased mortality and complications which affect the kidneys, eyes and peripheral nerves associated with high morbidity. Among the diabetic complications, damage in the eye, diabetic retinopathy, is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision-loss globally. It is characterized by a number of different patho-mechanisms including changes in vascular permeability, capillary degeneration, and finally at a late stage overshooting formation of new blood vessels. This expression analysis focused on the use of different experimental models for Diabetes Mellitus and its complications (for a review see 1: Al-Awar et al: Experimental Diabetes Mellitus in Different Animal Models. J Diabetes Res. 2016; doi: 10.1155/2016/9051426). By that, we wanted to uncover the relative contributions of systemic hyperinsulinaemia and/or hyperglycemia to molecular regulations. The following models have been used: As insulinopenic, hyperglycemic model reflecting Type 1 diabetes, male STZ-Wistar rats (60mg/kg BW; i.p.) were used. Wistar rats without STZ injection served as non-diabetic controls. Male obese ZDF rats (Fa/Fa) were used as type-2 diabetes model characterized by persisting hyperglycemia and transient hyperinsulinemia. Male lean ZDF rats (Fa/-) served as non-diabetic controls. Male obese ZF rats (Fa/Fa) hyperglycemia were used reflecting euglycemia and severe insulin resistance. Male lean ZF rats (Fa/-) served as controls. ZDF and ZF rats were obtained in two genotypes, obese (genotype fa/fa) and lean littermates (genotype Fa/?). All rats were housed in standard cages under a normal light-dark cycle for 16 weeks. All animals had free access to food and water. ZF and Wistar rats received a standard chow (Ssniff R/M) and ZDF rats received Purina 5008 chow. A group size of n=8 were used for all study groups. Wistar rats were rendered type-1 like hyperglycemic and hypoinsulinemic via a single injection of streptocotocin (STZ, 60mg/kg; i.p.) at 7 weeks of age. Obese ZDF rats (fa/fa) develop spontaneously a type-2 diabetes phenotype with persisting hyperglycemia and transient hyperinsulinemia (hyperglycemic, hypoinsulinemic). Obese ZF rats (fa/fa) develop insulin resistance with permanent hyperinsulinemia without concomitant hyperglycemia and no overt diabetes phenotype. Non STZ treated Wistar rats, lean ZDF littermates (Fa/?), and lean ZF littermates (Fa/?) served as controls. All groups were kept for 12 weeks on respective conditions together with appropriate age-matched controls. Unbiased gene expression analysis was performed per group using Affymetrix gene arrays.
