Project description:Ongoing neuronal activity during development and plasticity acts to refine synaptic connections and contributes to the induction of plasticity and ultimately long term memory storage. Activity-dependent post-transcriptional control of mRNAs occurs through transport to axonal and dendritic compartments, local translation, and mRNA stability. We have identified a mechanism that contributes to activity-dependent regulation of mRNA stability during synaptic plasticity. In this study we demonstrate rapid, post-transtriptional control over process-enriched mRNAs by neuronal activity. Systematic analysis of the 3'-UTRs of destablized transcripts, identifies enrichment in sequence motifs corresponding to miRNA binding sites. The miRNAs that were identified, miR-326-3p/miR-330-5p, miR-485-5p, miR-666-3p, and miR-761 are predicted to regulate networks of genes important in plasticity and development. We find that these miRNAs are developmentally regulated in the hippocampus, many increasing by postnatal day 14. We further show that miR-485-5p controls NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, tau expression, and axonal development in hippocampal neurons. miRNAs can function at the synapse to rapidly control and affect short- and long-term changes at the synapse. These processes likely occur during refinement of synaptic connections and contribute to the induction of plasticity and learning and memory. 12 hippocampal cell culture samples analysed, 3 coverslips pooled per sample. Treatments are as follows: Block: an inhibitor cocktail containing 50 µM D-APV, 40 µM CNQX, and 100 nM TTX for 3 hrs Activity: 50 µM bicuculline (BiC)/500 µM 4-Aminopyridine ActD: 25 µM actinomycin D

Project description:Background Eosinophil cationic protein is a clinical asthma biomarker that would be released into blood, especially gathered in bronchia. The signal peptide of eosinophil cationic protein (ECPsp) plays an important role in translocating ECP to the extracellular space. We previously reported that ECPsp inhibits microbial growth and regulates the expression of mammalian genes encoding tumor growth factor-a (TGF-a) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Results In the present study, we first generated a DNA microarray dataset, which showed that ECPsp upregulated proinflammatory molecules, including chemokines, interferon-induced molecules, and Toll-like receptors. The levels of mRNAs encoding CCL5, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL16, STAT1, and STAT2 were increased in the presence of ECPsp by 2.07-, 4.21-, 7.52-, 2.6-, 3.58-, and 1.67-fold, respectively. We then generated a functional linkage network by integrating the microarray dataset with the pathway database of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. This revealed that STAT1[/2], an important transcriptional factor that regulates cytokine expression and release, served as a hub to connect the pathways of cytokine stimulation (TGF-a and EGFR pathways) and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, integrating TGF-a and EGFR with the functional linkage network indicated that STAT1 served as a hub that connects two functional clusters, including (1) cell proliferation and survival, and (2) inflammation. Finally, we found that conditioned medium in which cells that express ECPsp had been cultured could chemoattract macrophages. Therefore, we hypothesize that ECPsp may regulate the migration of macrophages in vivo. Conclusion The increased expression and release of various cytokines triggered by ECPsp may attract macrophages to bronchia to purge damaged cells. Our approach, involving experimental and computational systems biology, predicts pathways and potential biological functions for further characterization of this novel function of ECPsp under inflammatory conditions. The control group of this study is Beas-2B cells treated with pEGFP-C1, and the experiment group is the same cell line treated with pEGFPN1-ECPsp. Each group was conducted by two biological repeats and two technical repeats were done in DNA microarray analyses. On the microarray chip, 29,187 probes correspond to the annotated genes in the RefSeq v38 and Ensembl v56 databases. Furthermore, 1,088 control probes are also included for monitoring the sample quality and the hybridization process.

Project description:Exposure to radiation provokes cellular responses controlled in part by gene expression networks. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs which mostly regulate gene expression by degrading the messages or inhibiting translation. Here, we investigated changes in miRNA expression patterns after low (0.1 Gy) and high (2.0 Gy) doses of X-ray in human fibroblasts. At early (0.5 h) and late (6 and 24 h) time points, irradiation caused qualitative and quantitative differences in the down-regulation of miRNA levels, including miR-92b, 137, 660, and 656. A transient up-regulation of miRNAs was observed after 2 h post-irradiation following high doses of radiation, including miR-558 and 662. MicroRNA levels were inversely correlated with targets from mRNA and proteomic profiling after 2.0 Gy of radiation. MicroRNAs miR-579, 608, 548-3p, and 585 are noted for targeting genes involved in radioresponsive mechanisms, such as cell cycle checkpoint and apoptosis. We suggest here a model in which miRNAs may act as "hub" regulators of specific cellular responses, immediately down-regulated so as to stimulate DNA repair mechanisms, followed by up-regulation involved in suppressing apoptosis for cell survival. Taken together, miRNAs may mediate signaling pathways in sequential fashion in response to radiation, and may serve as biodosimetric markers of radiation exposure. The gene expression patterns in human fibroblasts after 2.0 Gy of low-LET radiation was determined at 2 and 24 hrs post-irradiation time in technical triplicates. Control non-irradiated samples were also prepared in triplicates.

Project description:Thousands of novel non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) has been identified in recent years. Only few have been functionally characterized and it is thus unclear which and how many are functional. Here, we characterize expression of ncRNAs in twelve human tissues using a costum designed microarray. The study serve as a first analysis to gain further insight into expression behavior of a broad and comprehensive collection of ncRNAs and pinpoint a set of ncRNAs we believe are functional. Expression was measured in triplicates of twelve human tissues using a custom-designed array containing 26,910 non-coding RNA features and a set of 6,856 protein-coding genes.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential for priming of immune responses. Although immune mechanisms are known to control the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the role of DCs remains elusive. Here we show that Ccl17 expressing mature, myeloid DCs accumulate within atherosclerotic lesions. Deletion of Ccl17 in apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice reduces the development and progression of atherosclerosis in several disease models. While Ccl17 expression by DCs dampened antigen-specific T cell proliferation, it is required for efficient polarization of T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th17 as reflected by a preponderance of Th2 cytokines in Ccl17-/- Apoe-/- mice. In line with these findings, only transfer of T cells from Apoe-/-, but not from Ccl17-/- Apoe-/- precipitated atherosclerosis in T cell depleted Apoe-/- recipients. These findings identify Ccl17+ DCs as central immune regulators in atherosclerosis and Ccl17 as a potential target in the treatment of this disease. There are three samples analyzed with no replicates included. There is one control sample included.

There were two samples analyzed with no replicates included. The two samples should be compared with each other.
