A DNA Microarray Analysis of Rat Intestine, Spleen and Liver Transcriptome after Oral Administration of Lavender Oil

ABSTRACT: Lavender oil (LO) – a commonly used oil in aromatherapy with well defined volatile components linalool and linalyl acetate – use in non-traditional medicine is increasing globally. To understand and provide evidence for the potential positive effects of LO on the body, we have established an animal model for investigating in this current study, orally administered LO effects genome-wide in rat intestine, spleen and liver. The rats were administrated LO at 5 mg/kg (usual threaupeutic dose in humans) followed by screeing of differentially expressed genes in the tissues utlilizing a 4x44K whole genome rat chip (Agilent microarray platform) in conjunction with a dye-swap approach, one of the novelties of this study. Fourteen days after treatment (LO) and in comparison with a control group (sham), a total of 156 and 154 up (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes, 174 and 66 up- (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes, and 222 and 322 up- (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes showed differential expression at the mRNA level, in the intestine, spleen and liver, respectively. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) validation of highly up- and down-expressed genes revealed the regulation of Papd4, Lrp1b, Alb, Cyr61, Cyp2c, and Cxcl1 genes, by LO, as examples in these tissues. Using bioinformatics functionally categorization of differentially expressed genes was done by their Gene Ontology (GO) revealing their diverse functions and potential roles in LO-mediated effects in rat. Present results are a first such inventory of genes affected by the essential oil of Lavender (LO) in an animal model. Rats were administrated LO at 5 mg/kg (the usual threaupeutic dose in humans) followed by the screeing of differentially expressed genes in the intestine, spleen, and liver utlilizing a 4x44K whole genome rat chip (Agilent) and the dye-swap approach.

Project description:A diet rich in nucleic acids and protamin protein, termed as nucleoprotein (NP), has been attracting a great deal of attention in food science for its beneficial effects. In the present study, we performed a global gene expression profiling in mice fed with NP diet rich in nucleoproteins from the salmon testis. Since our recent research has revealed anti-inflammatory effect of the NP diet, we induced inflammation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection in the mice for this analysis study. Mice were fed with NP diet for 4 weeks followed by a single injection of LPS. The liver and spleen were removed 6 h post-LPS injection. Total RNA extracted from livers (L) and spleens (S) was pooled in each group (control and NP diet), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K). Results revealed 322 & 702 up (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes in the liver, and 325 & 501 up- and down-regulated genes in the spleen, respectively following NP diet. Analysis of genes related to inflammation suggests increased activity of immune function during acute period of LPS injection, which may contribute to early demise of inflammation. NP diet can be expected to be useful for inhibition of inflammatory reactions whose over-accumulation is thought to be related to the acceleration of aging process. To investigate the effect of NP, we added S-nuclegen® at a concentration of 1.2% into CLEA basic purified diet (CLEA JAPAN, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) known to include nucleic acids (NAs) at much lower amounts than standard diet. By HPLC analysis CLEA basic purified diet (low NP), and 1.2% NP diet included 0.03%, and 0.5% NAs, respectively. Male C57BL/6J mice (7 weeks) were fed with NP diet for 4 weeks followed by a single injection of LPS at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The liver and spleen were removed 6 h post-LPS injection. Total RNA extracted from livers and spleens was pooled in each group (control and NP diet), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K).

Project description:7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat mammary carcinoma is a well-recognized model, however, the genetic alterations during its carcinogenesis have yet to be determined. We used laser capture microdissection to specifically isolate cells from terminal end buds (TEBs), the origin of carcinoma, at 2 weeks after sesame oil- treatment (control) or DMBA-treatment (DMBA-TEBs), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive mammary carcinoma (MC). Using an oligonucleotide microarray representing 20600 rat probe sequences, we analyzed gene expression profiles and validated mRNA and protein levels of genes of interest by real-time quantitative PCR, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The number of differentially expressed genes was smallest in DMBA-TEBs (63), followed by DCIS (798) and MC (981). Only the expression of PEP-19, an anti-apoptic gene, showed significant increases in DMBA-TEBs (4-fold), DCIS (10-fold) and MC (16-fold). MMP-13 expression was increased markedly in DCIS (19-fold) and MC (61-fold) while OPN expression was increased 6-fold in DCIS and 8-fold in MC. MMP-7 expression was increased 4-fold in MC. Nidogen-1; a participant in the assembly of basement membranes, TSP-2; an inhibitor of angiogenesis and COUP-TFI; a transcription repressor showed significant decreases in DCIS (4-, 9-, and 17-fold, respectively) and MC (10-, 37-, and 100-fold). Network analyses with IPA software revealed that the most significant network was centered on Akt groups in DCIS and ERK groups in MC. The present findings provide insights into the molecular changes and suggest the importance of PEP-19 overexpression very early on during mammary carcinogenesis.

We used laser capture microdissection to specifically isolate the cells from terminal end buds (TEBs), the origin of MC, at 2 weeks after sesame oil-(control) or DMBA-treatment (DMBA-TEBs), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive mammary carcinoma (MC). At 50 days after birth, inbred Sprague-Dawley female rats were given 1ml sesame oil (control) or 20 mg DMBA (Nacalai tesque, Inc. Kyoto Japan) dissolved in 1ml sesame oil, by gastric intubations. Animals in control group were euthanized after 2 weeks (W) and DMBA-treated group were euthanized after 2 weeks (W), 6W and 8W, respectively. From for 4 sample(control, DMBA-TEBs, DCIS, MC), we performed a hybridization repeatedly, respectively.
