Project description:Analysis of heart ventricles from Hopx, Hdac2, and both Hopx-Hdac2 deficient embryos at embryonic day E16.5. Results provide insight into the role of Hopx and Hdac2 in cardiac development. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cardiac development by Hopx and Hdac2 and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Mouse embryonic ventricles were selected at E16.5 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We obtained three independent embryonic ventricles for WT, Hopx-null, Hdac2-null, and Hopx-Hdac2 double null genotypes.

Project description:Ezh2 epigenetically suppresses developmentally-regulated genes. Ezh2 is highly expressed during development, including in the lung. We knocked out Ezh2 in the developing lung epithelium using a Shh-cre driver which is active in foregut endoderm prior to lung morphogenesis. Many developmentally regulated genes became derepressed in the mutant lungs, leading to defects in lung development. Microarray analysis of genes upregulated in Ezh2 epithelial knock-out mouse lungs compared to Shh-cre controls. We generated Ezh2 epithelial mutant lungs by crossing the Ezh2-floxed line (Su et al., 2003) with the Shh-cre line (Harfe et al., 2004). We isolated RNA from whole mouse lungs at embryonic day 14.5 from 4 Shh-cre:Ezh2-flox/flox embryos (M1-M4) and 4 Shh-cre embryos (C1-C4). Littermates are as follows: C1+C2; C3+C4; M1+M2; M3+M4.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently recognized heterogenous group of immune cells that are critical in orchestrating immunity and inflammation in the intestine, but whether ILCs influence immune responses or tissue homeostasis at other mucosal sites remains poorly characterized. Here we identify a population of lung-resident ILCs in mice and humans that expressed the alloantigen Thy-1 (CD90), interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor a-chain (CD25), IL-7 receptor a-chain (CD127) and the IL-33 receptor subunit T1-ST2. Notably, mouse ILCs accumulated in the lung after infection with influenza virus, and depletion of ILCs resulted in loss of airway epithelial integrity, diminished lung function and impaired airway remodeling. These defects were restored by administration of the lung ILC product amphiregulin. Collectively, our results demonstrate a critical role for lung ILCs in restoring airway epithelial integrity and tissue homeostasis after infection with influenza virus. As part of this study, we performed gene expression profiling to examine how the transcriptional signatures compared between murine naïve group 2 lung ILC and group 3 splenic LTi cell populations. Group 2 ILCs from the lung (Lin- CD90+ CD25+ T1/ST2+) and Group 3 LTi cells from the spleen (Lin- CD90+ CD25+ CD4+) were sort-purified from naive wildtype C57BL/6 mice using BD FACS Aria. Four biological replicates were collected, each replicate containing 1.5 x 104 to 2 x104 cells sorted to a purity >97% from six pooled lungs (ILCs) or 10 pooled spleens (LTi cells). Cells were sorted directly into TRIzol LS (Invitrogen), then mRNA was isolated, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip (Mouse Gene 1.0 ST).

Project description:Fzd2 is a Wnt receptor expressed in the embryonic lung. We made a conditional knockout of Fzd2 to specifically address the role of signaling through Fzd2 in lung epithelial development. To explore the genes that are regulated by signaling through the Fzd2 receptor in the lung epithelium, we performed microarray analysis of Shhcre control and Fzd2CKO lungs at E12.5

Project description:Hdac1/2 are important epigenetic factors, yet their functional roles in specific tissues inluding lung is not determined. We used the conditional knockout model of Hdac1/2 to determine their roles in lung development. To explore the genes that are regulated by Hdac1/2 during lung development, we performed microarray analysis of Shhcre control and Hdac1/2DKO lungs at E11.5 embryos.

Project description:Postnatal tissue quiescence is generally thought to be a default state in the absence of a proliferative stimulus such as injury. We now demonstrate that in the lung, quiescence in the adult is an actively maintained state and is regulated by paracrine hedgehog signaling. Epithelial-specific deletion of Sonic Hedgehog during normal homeostasis results in a proliferative expansion of the adjacent lung mesenchyme. Injury to the lung epithelium results in decreased hedgehog activation, accompanied by proliferative expansion of the adjacent mesenchyme. Moreover, reconstitution of Hedgehog signaling during epithelial injury attenuated the proliferative expansion of the adjacent mesenchyme. Hedgehog signaling maintains lung quiescence by attenuating PDGF signaling through blocking post-translational processing of PDGF receptor α/β into the mature isoforms. These results indicate that in postnatal tissues, epithelial cells can actively maintain mesenchymal quiescence via paracrine hedgehog activation, and that imbalances in this pathway could lead to aberrant mesenchymal expansion and postnatal disease. Fibroblasts were isolated from mouse lungs and grown in culture in triplicate wells. Samples were treated with vehicle or purmorphamine 5um for 24 hours and RNA was isolated for microarray.

Project description:Hopx appears to be needed for persistence of Th1 effector memory cells. IFN-gamma-producing Th cells are significantly reduced in Hopx-deficient mice compared to Hopx-expressing littermates and Hopx-deficient Th1 cells show a defective persistence upon adoptive transfer. Moreover, Hopx protects Th1 cells from Fas-mediated cell death in vitro. To further dissect the role of Hopx and to identify target genes of Hopx, we have performed transcriptome analysis to compare gene expression in Hopx-deficient versus Hopx-competent Th1 cells. In agreement with the role of Hopx in supporting survival of Th1 effector memory cells, anti-apoptotic cells were up-regulated and pro-apoptotic genes were down-regulated in Hopx-competent compared to Hopx-deficient Th1 cells.

Project description:Foxp1/4 transcription factors are conserved transcriptional repressors expressed in overlapping patterns during lung development as well as in the adult lung. However, the role of Foxp1/4 in development and homeostasis of the pseudostratified epithelium of the proximal airways and trachea is unknown. We propose to determine the roles for Foxp1/4 in lung development by deleting these genes in lung epithelial specific knockout mice. To explore the genome wide consequences of Foxp1/4 deficiency on secretory epithelial differentiation in the lung, we performed microarray analysis of Shh- cre control and Foxp1/4ShhcreDKO mutants lungs at E14.5, 3 embryos, respectively.

Project description:Molecular programs that mediate normal cell differentiation are required for oncogenesis and tumor cell survival in certain types of cancers. How cell lineage restricted genes specifically influence metastatic progression is poorly defined. In lung cancers, we uncovered an alveolar cell-selective transcriptional program that preferentially correlates with lung adenocarcinoma metastasis. This program is required for epithelial specification in the distal airways and is partially regulated by the lineage transcription factors GATA6 and HOPX. These factors cooperatively restrain the metastatic competence of adenocarcinoma cells, without affecting their survival, through the modulation of alveologenic and invasogenic target genes. Thus, GATA6 and HOPX are critical nodes in a lineage-selective pathway that directly links alveolar cell fate with metastasis suppresion in the lung adenocarcinoma subtype. mRNA profiles of human lung Adenocarcinoma PC9 cell lines infected with lentivirus harboring shRNA of control (Arab1) and shRNA of both GATA6 and HOPX were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.
