Project description:Analysis of whole genome expression changes in primary hepatocytes in response to chronic stimulation with inflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that chronic treatment of primary hepatocytes with TNFα would result in a reprogramming of the cell's transcriptome to improve adaptation to the presence of a chronic inflammatory stress. Here we provide expression analysis detailing genes upregulated, downregulated, and unchanged after 2 days of TNFα treatment. We have included gene expression profiling of cells treated with TNFα for 2 hours to help isolate the changes unique to chronic TNFα treatment of primary hepatocytes.

Project description:Anorexia can occur as a serious complication of chronic disease. Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation plays a major role, along with a hypothalamic dysregulation characterized by locally elevated serotonin levels. The present study was undertaken to further explore the connections between peripheral inflammation, anorexia and hypothalamic serotonin metabolism and signaling pathways. We studied transcriptomic changes and serotonergic activity in the hypothalamus of mice after an intraperitoneal injection with TNFα, IL-6 or a combination of TNFα and IL-6. C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with TNFalpha, IL-6 Low, IL-6 High, combination TNF+IL-6 Low or combination TNF+IL-6 High. Each group comprised of 12 animals, of which 6 animals were used for transcriptomics.

Project description:We used microarrays to determine if miRNA expression in human airway smooth muscle cells is altered by a pro-inflammatory stimulus. A majority of the miRNAs on the array exhibited very low signal intensity. In ASM cells exposed to IL-1β, TNFα, and IFNγ, none of the miRNA expressed were significantly up-regulated with cytokine treatment. We did observe 11 miRNA down-regulated > 2-fold in both cultures with cytokine treatment. These miRNA include described human miRNA miR-23a, -23b, -25, -188, -320, -363, -489, as well as mouse and rat miRNA homologous to miR-140*, mouse miR-329 and a novel miRNA, abi-13268. miRNA arrays for cytokine-stimulated ASM cells were completed in duplicate from two different cultures to identify candidate miRNA for further study. Cultures were growth arrested for 48 hours and treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β, TNFα, and IFNγ for 24 hrs. A comparison of miRNA expression under cytokine-stimulated and non-treated conditions from hybridized miRNA arrays was calculated as described.

Project description:Background ; Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by joint destruction and perpetuated by the synovial membrane (SM). In the inflamed SM, activated synovial fibroblasts (SFB) form the major cell type promoting development and progression of the disease by an abnormal expression/secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tissue-degrading enzymes resulting in a predominant degradation of the extra-cellular matrix (ECM), and collagens causing joint fibrosis. We developed a new procedure, based on human knowledge and formal concept analysis (FCA), to simulate and analyze the temporal behaviour of regulatory and signaling networks. It was applied to a regulatory network (containing 18 genes from 5 functional groups) representing ECM formation and destruction in TGFβ - and TNFα -stimulated SFB. Results ; For the modelling of SFB-controlled ECM turnover in rheumatic diseases, Boolean network architecture was used as well as extensive literature information and revision by experimental gene expression data from stimulated SFB. In course of revision, the additional experimental information resulted in different biologically reasonable changes, yielding two Boolean networks that describe TGFβ and TNFα effects, respectively. The final simulations were further analyzed by the attribute exploration algorithm of FCA, integrating again the observed time series in a more fine-grained and automated manner. The generated temporal rules clearly reveal subtle regulatory relationships between different genes, co-expression patterns and converse gene expression regulation in rheumatic diseases. Conclusion ; The developed Boolean network based method for the dynamical analysis of regulatory and signaling networks represents a reliable systems biological solution for the improved understanding of complex regulatory pathways and the interactions among different genes in disease. The resulting knowledge base can be used for further analysis of the ECM system in human fibroblasts and may be queried to predict the functional consequences of observed (e.g. in diseases as RA) or hypothetical (e.g. for therapeutic purposes) gene expression disturbances. Experiment Overall Design: Patients and tissue samples: Experiment Overall Design: Synovial membrane samples were obtained within 10 min following tissue excision upon joint replacement/synovectomy from RA and OA patients (n = 3 each). After removal, tissue samples were frozen and stored at -70°C. Informed patient consent was acquired and the study was approved by the ethics committees of the respective universities. RA patients were classified according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, OA patients according to the respective criteria for osteoarthritis. The preparation of primary semi-transformed synovial fibroblasts from RA and OA patients was performed as previously described (Zimmermann et al., Arthritis Res. 2001;3(1):72-6). Briefly, the tissue samples were minced and digested with trypsin/collagenase P. The resulting single cell suspension was cultured for seven days. Non-adherent cells were removed by medium exchange. SFB were then negatively purified using Dynabeads® M 450 CD14 and subsequently cultured over 4 passages in DMEM containing 100 μg/ml gentamycin, 100 μg/ml penicillin/streptomycin, 20 mM HEPES, and 10% FCS. Experiment Overall Design: Cell stimulation and isolation of total RNA : Experiment Overall Design: At the end of the fourth passage, the SFB were stimulated by 10 ng/ml TGFβ or TNFα in serum-free DMEM for 0, 1, 2, 4, and 12 h. At the end of each time point, medium was removed and the cells were digested with trypsin/versene (0.25%). Following centrifugation and washing with PBS, the cells were lysed with RLT buffer (Qiagen) and frozen at 70°C. Total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Kit (Qiagen) according to the supplier's recommendation. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray data analysis: Experiment Overall Design: RNA probes were labelled according to the supplier's instructions (Affymetrix®, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Analysis of gene expression was performed using U133 Plus 2.0 RNA microarrays. Hybridization and washing was performed according to the supplier's instructions. Microarrays were analyzed by laser scanning (Hewlett-Packard Gene Scanner). Background-corrected signal intensities were determined using the MAS 5.0 software (Affymetrix®) and normalized among arrays to facilitate comparisons between different patients. For this purpose, arrays were grouped according to patient class the respective stimulus (TGFβ and TNFα, n=6 each). The arrays in each group were normalized using quantile normalization.

Project description:Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important clinical problem. Here we used a genomics approach to establish the critical drug-induced toxicity pathways that act in synergy with the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to cause cell death of liver HepG2 cells. Transcriptomics of the cell injury stress response pathways initiated by two hepatoxicants, diclofenac and carbamazepine, revealed the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress/translational initiation signaling and Nrf2 antioxidant signaling as two major affected pathways, which was similar to that observed for the majority of ~80 DILI compounds in primary human hepatocytes. The ER stress was primarily related to PERK and ATF4 activation and subsequent expression of CHOP, which was all independent of TNFα signaling. Identical ATF4 dependent transcriptional programs were observed in primary human hepatocytes as well as primary precision cut human liver slices. Targeted RNA interference studies revealed that while ER stress signaling through IRE1α and ATF6 acted cytoprotective, activation of the ER stress protein kinase PERK and subsequent expression of CHOP was pivotal for the onset of drug/TNF-induced apoptosis. While inhibition of the Nrf2-dependent adaptive oxidative stress response enhanced the drug/TNF cytotoxicity, Nrf2 signaling did not affect CHOP expression. Both hepatotoxic drugs enhanced expression of the translational initiation factor EIF4A1, which was essential for CHOP expression and drug/TNF-mediated cell killing. Our data support a model in which enhanced drug-induced translation initiates PERK-mediated CHOP signaling in an EIF4A1 dependent manner, thereby sensitizing towards caspase-8-dependent TNF induced apoptosis. We sought to determine the effect of co-exposure of certain drugs associated with idiosyncratic DILI with the cytokine TNFalpha to mimic drug exposure with inflammation signaling in HepG2 cells Human hepatoma HepG2 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Wesel, Germany), cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS, 25 U/mL penicillin and 25 µg/mL streptomycin and used for experiments between passage 5 and 20.

Project description:Molecular profiling of effect of TNFα neutralization in contrast to anti-IL-17A or anti-IL-17F treatment for 28 days in lungs of M. tuberculosis infected C57BL/6 mice. Animals were treated once per week (starting day-1) with anti-mouse IL-17A or IL-17F antibodies (20 mg/kg i.p.), anti-mouse TNFα antibody (10 mg/kg), respective isotype control antibodies. Moreover, infected and non-infected TNFα-deficient mice were also analysed. Gene expression data revealed major changes of inflammatory and immune gene expression signatures 4 weeks post-infection (including host-pathogen interactions, macrophage recruitment, activation and polarization, host-anti-mycobacterial activities, immunomodulatory responses and extracellular matrix metallopeptidases) after TNFα blockade, while IL-17A or IL-17F neutralization elicited only mild changes of few genes without impaired host resistance four weeks after M. tuberculosis infection.

Project description:Background The rearrangement of nucleosomes along the DNA fiber profoundly affects gene expression, but little is known about how signaling reshapes the chromatin landscape, in 3D space and over time, to allow the establishment of new transcriptional programs. Results Using micrococcal nuclease treatment and high-throughput sequencing, we map genome-wide changes in nucleosome positioning in primary human endothelial cells stimulated with tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) - a proinflammatory cytokine that signals through nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB). Within 10 minutes, nucleosomes reposition at regions both proximal and distal to NF-kappaB binding sites, before the transcription factor quantitatively binds thereon. Similarly, in long TNFalpha-responsive genes, repositioning precedes transcription by pioneering elongating polymerases and appears to nucleate from intragenic enhancer clusters resembling super-enhancers. By 30 minutes, widespread repositioning occurs throughout Mbp-long chromosomal segments, with consequential effects on 3D structure, detected using chromosome conformation capture. Conclusions Whilst nucleosome repositioning is viewed as a local phenomenon, our results point to effects occurring over multiple scales. Here, we present data in support of a TNFalpha-induced priming mechanism, mostly independent of NF-kappaB binding and/or elongating RNA polymerases, leading to a plastic network of interactions that affects DNA accessibility over large domains.

Project description:In this data set we investigate dynamic differences in the transcriptome between 37 and 40 degrees C after treatment with TNFalpha. In the continuous temperature experiments, cells were grown at 37 degrees C and were then left at 37 degrees C, or transferred to 40 degrees C, for 1hour after which they (at time 0) were stimulated with 10 ng/ml of TNFα . Measurements were taken at 0, 30, 130, 230 and 430 minutes. In the 'switch' experiment, cells were grown the same way but the temperature of the incubator was turned up to 40 degrees C after 200 minutes. Measurements were taken at 230 and 430 minutes.

Project description:We provided earlier evidence that acetylation of p65 at lysines 310, 314 and 315 is important for the expression of a defined subset of genes; acetylation at these residues regulates both positively and negatively gene expression, in a gene-specific manner. These earlier studies provided a first glance of the functional relevance of p65 acetylation, since gene expression was measured only after 45 minutes of TNFα stimulation. In order to know if the requirement for site-specific acetylation is maintained for the same genes after longer exposure to TNFα, and to identify possible new genes regulated through p65 acetylation, we decided to extent our analysis to 3 hours of stimulation. For this, we used p65(-/-) MEFs complemented with non-acetylatable mutants, where the target lysines for acetylation were mutated to arginines. p65(-/-) cells complemented either with wild type p65, an empty plasmid as control (pTV), the acetylation-deficient double mutant K314/315R or the triple mutant KTR (K310/314/315R), were stimulated by TNFα for 3 hours and total RNA was isolated in three independent replicates from these cells. RNA was amplified, labeled and hybridized to the Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Array. After statistical analysis of the expression profiles, differentially expressed genes were identified.

Project description:The relevance of immune-endocrine interactions to the regulation of ovarian function in teleosts is virtually unexplored. As part of the innate immune response during infection, a number of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and other immune factors, are produced and act on the reproductive system. However, TNFα is also an important physiological player in the ovulatory process in mammals. In the present study, we have examined for the first time the effects of TNFα in vitro in preovulatory ovarian follicles of a teleost fish, the brown trout (Salmo trutta). In control and recombinant trout TNFα (rtTNFα)-treated granulosa cells, we examined the percentage of apoptosis by flow cytometry analysis and cell viability by propidium iodide (PI) staining. Furthermore, we determined the in vitro effects of rtTNFα on follicle contraction and testosterone production in preovulatory trout ovarian follicles. In addition, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of control and rtTNFα-treated ovarian tissue by microarray and real-time PCR (qPCR) analyses.Treatment with rtTNFα induces ovarian cell apoptosis, decreases granulosa cell viability and stimulates the expression of genes known to be involved in the normal ovulatory process in trout. In addition, rtTNFα causes a significant increase in follicle contraction and testosterone production. Also, using a salmonid-specific microarray platform (SFA2.0 immunochip) we observed that rtTNFα induces the expression of genes known to be involved in inflammation, proteolysis and tissue remodeling. In view of these results, we propose that TNFα could have an important role in the biomechanics of follicle weakening, ovarian rupture and oocyte expulsion during ovulation in trout, primarily through its stimulation of follicular cell apoptosis and the expression of genes involved in follicle wall proteolysis and contraction. Reproductively mature female brown trout (Salmo trutta) from a cultured stock at the Piscifactoria de Bagà (Generalitat de Catalunya, Bagà , Spain) were kept under natural conditions of temperature and photoperiod. Fish at the preovulatory stage (according to the position of the germinal vesicle (GV) in oocytes that were cleared using a solution previously described), were anesthesized in 3-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (0.1 g/l; Sigma, Alcobendas, Spain) dissolved in fresh water, and the fish were sacrificed by concussion prior to the collection of the ovaries. The dissected ovaries were immediately used for the various in vitro assays. After dissection, brown trout preovulatory ovaries were placed in Hank´s balanced salt solution (HBSS) and individual ovarian follicles were manually separated with forceps from each ovary on ice, as previously described. To collect ovarian tissue for RNA extraction, preovulatory follicles from each of a total of three females were incubated (400 follicles/50 ml) in HBSS-BSA in the absence or presence of rtTNFα (100 ng/ ml, dissolved directly in HBSS-BSA), at 15ºC for 24 h with gentle shaking (100 rpm). At the end of the incubation follicles (previously de-yolked by gentle pressure) were removed, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80ºC until assayed.
