Project description: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:To investigate the effects of corn oil (CO), common drug vehicle, on the gene expression profiles in rat thymus with microarray technique. Female Wistar Rats were administered daily with normal saline (NS), CO 2, 5, 10 ml/kg for 14 days, respectively. Then, the thymus samples of rats were collected for microarray test and histopathology examination. The microarray data showed that 0, 40, 458 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 2, 5, 10 ml/kg CO group compared to NS group, respectively. The altered genes were associated with immune response, cellular response to organic cyclic substance, regulation of fatty acid beta-oxidation, et al. However, no obvious histopathologic change was observed in the three CO dosage groups. These data show that 10 ml/kg CO , that dosage has been determined as the vehicle in drug safety assessment , can cause obvious influence on gene expression in rat thymus. Our study suggest that the dosage of CO gavage as the vehicle for water-in-soluble agents in drug development should be no more than 5 ml/kg if agents’ molecular effects in thymus want to be assessed. Gene expression in thymus from female Wistar rats daily administered with 2, 5, 10 ml/kg of corn oil or 10 ml/kg of saline by gavage for 14 consecutive days were measured using Agilent Rat Whole Genome 8×*60K array.

Project description:Human epidemiological evidence has led scientists to theorize that undernutrition during gestation is an important early origin of adult diseases. Animal models have successfully demonstrated that maternal diet could contribute to some of adult diseases. Undernutrition is perceived harmful in pregnant women whereas calorie restriction is a strategy proven to extend healthy and maximum life span in adult. This diagrammatically opposite effect of nutritional condition might provide us hints to search for genes underlying health conditions. Here, we have initiated a study examining the effect of undernutrition on maternal and fetal livers, utilizing high-throughput DNA microarray analysis for screening genome-wide changes in their transcriptomes. Briefly, pregnant mice were exposed to food deprivation (FD) on gestation day (GD) 17, and caesarean section was performed on GD18. Control mice were supplied with chow ad libitum till sacrifice. Total RNA extracted from mother and fetal livers for each control and treatment (FD) was analyzed with an Agilent mouse whole genome DNA chip. Total of 3058 and 3126 up (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes, and 1475 and 1225 up- (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes showed differential expression at the mRNA level, in the maternal and fetal livers, respectively. Interestingly, 103 genes up-regulated in mother were down-regulated in fetus, whereas 108 down-regulated maternal genes were up-regulated in fetus; these 211 genes are potential candidates related to longevity or health. The role of some of these genes, in context of the proposed mechanisms for developmental origins of health and disease is discussed. Comparison between mouse control and FD livers in fetus and mother was performed. Five to ten biological replicates were used, and pooled total RNA from each condition (control and FD) was dye-swaped.

Project description:Non-optimal fetal environments resulting in low birth weight have epidemiologically been associated with a higher risk of adult diseases. In animal models, maternal undernutrition has successfully demonstrated that offspring owed increased risks for adult diseases. In mice, shorten life span was also demonstrated in offspring following maternal undernutrition. In the present study, we treated pregnant mice with 50% food restriction (FR), and performed global gene expression and promotor DNA methylation profiling on the fetal livers. Considering that effects of food restriction is opposite between before and after birth, we further searched genes which are regulated oppositely against adult calorie restriction (CR) and commonly against aging. Among searched genes, trib1 has already been demonstrated to contribute to a risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertriglyceridaemia and insulin resistance. The present result suggests that expression of trib1 is affected by maternal nutrition, and is one of the most responsible genes for developmental origins of metabolic syndrome. In addition, lepr was also down-regulated by maternal FR, suggested a potential role of this gene in induction of obesity and diabetes. Promotor DNA methylation profiling as well as gene expression profiling revealed that glucocorticoid receptor target genes were regulated by maternal FR. This finding supports previous studies that suggest an important role for glucocorticoid in developmental origins of metabolic syndrome. In the immune system, most of the genes related to interferon were down-regulated in their expression with up-regulation of their promoter DNA methylation. The profiling also suggested diminished NF-κB signalling. These results suggested that maternal FR affected development of the immune system. We presented here a list of genes responsible for developmental origins of health and disease, which were regulated oppositely against adult CR, and commonly against aging, and also affected their promotor DNA methylation. The present list hopefully contributes to prediction of risks for non communicable diseases, and also prediction of prenatal environment of nutrition from offspring materials. Here we carried out global gene expression profiling analysis on the fetal mouse liver following maternal 50% FR. Considering that opposite effects of nutrition between the fetus and adult, we further analyzed our fetal array data by comparing with data from their mothers, and array data on the effect of CR and aging in previous reports using adult rodent tissues. In addition, we performed global DNA methylation analysis using mouse promoter microarray, and compared the results with data of the gene expression analysis. Finally, we presented a list of candidate genes responsible for DOHaD.

Project description:Diethlstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic estrogen prescribed to several millions of pregnant women worldwide. The risk for breast cancer after age 40 in women prenatally exposed to DES has been reported, however, the precise mechanism of susceptibilities to breast cancer remains to be resolved. To understand the mechanism of effect of intrauterine exposure to DES on human mammary glands at peripubertal stage, we investigated the global gene expression profile of terminal end buds (TEBs), the target of carcinogen, in rat mammary glamds at postnatal days (PND) 35 and 49, equivalent to peripubertal stage in human, exposed to low or high dose of DES at neonatal period. In all group, the number of TEBs was gradually increased and peaked at PND35 and decreased at PND49. At PND 35 and 49, low dose of DES-treated group showed highest number of TEBs. At PND35, β- and γ-casein mRNA expression inreased 8.19-fold and 26.05-fold, respectively, and the most significant network revealed by IPA analyses showed relevance of NF-κB in low dose of DES-treated group. The present findings suggested that deregulation of mammary gland differentiation and development-related genes group may contribute to the increase of number of TEBs at critical period of carcinogen susceptibilities. Experiment: We used laser capture microdissection to specifically isolate the cells from terminal end buds (TEBs) in rat mammary gland at 35 and 49 days after birth. Inbred Sprague-Dawley female rats were subcutaneously given 0.05ml sesame oil (group I, control) and either 1 μg (group II) or 100 μg (group III) diethlstilbestrol (DES, Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo. USA) dissolved in 0.05 ml sesame oil within 24 hr of birth. Animal were weaned at 21 days of birth and each group of rats was autopsied at 35 and 49 days of birth. From group I (35 days of birth: n=2, 49 days of birth: n=2), group II (35 days of birth: n=2, 49 days of birth: n=2), group III (35 days of birth: n=2, 49 days of birth: n=2), we performed a hybridization, respectively.

Considering that effects of food restriction is opposite between before and after birth, we further searched genes which are regulated oppositely against adult calorie restriction and commonly against aging. Searched genes were included in groups related to the immune system, obesity and heart disease. Among these genes, trib1 has already been demonstrated to contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The present result suggests that trib1 is a target of DOHaD. In addition, lepr was also dow-regulaed by maternal FR, suggested a potential role of this gene in induction of obesity. Promotor DNA methylation profiling as well as gene expression profiling revealed glucocorticoid target genes were regulated by maternal FR, supported previous reports suggesting important role of glucocorticoid in DOHaD. C57BL/6J mice were purchased from Japan SLC Co. Ltd. (Hamamatsu, Japan). The animals were housed at the Animal Institution in Showa University. They were maintained in cages in a ventilated animal room with controlled temperature and relative humidity with a 12 h light: 12 h dark schedule (lights turned on at 8:00 AM) and had access to chow (CE-2, CLEA Japan) and tap water ad libitum. As per the supplier’s (CLEA) information, CE-2 includes 51.4% nitrogen free extracts, 24.9% crude protein, 8.6% moisture, 6.7% crude ash, 4.6% crude fat, and 3.7% crude fiber. The physiological fuel value is 346.7 kcal per 100 g chow. All animal experiments were started after a period of acclimation of at least one week. Pregnant animals were obtained by housing females with males (1-2 females/male). The day the vaginal plug was observed was designated embryonic day 0 (ED0) and gestation day 0 (GD0). Pregnant mice were exposed to 50% food restriction (FR) from GD 10 to 17 and caesarean section was performed between 10:00-12:00 AM on GD18. Amount of CE-2 chow supplied FR group was calculated as 50% of CE-2 consumed by control group each gestation day. Control group was supplied with chow ad libitum. Pregnant mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the fetuses were taken out and anesthetized on ice cold phosphate buffered saline. The fetuses were dissected under a dissection microscope, and fetal tissues were carefully removed avoiding any other tissues contamination. The liver was collected from six mothers in each group. Fetal liver was collected from two male fetuses from each mother. The liver was also collected from mothers to compare with fetal one in gene expression analysis. The harvested livers were immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen (N2) and stored at -80ºC. In all combinations, total RNA (1000 ng) was labeled with either Cy3 or Cy5 dye using an Agilent Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent Technologies Inc., CA, USA). Fluorescently labeled targets of control as well as treated samples were hybridized to the same microarray slide with 60-mer probes (4 x 44K (41,090 gene probes), mouse whole genome, Agilent). A flip labelling (dye-swap or reverse labelling with Cy3 and Cy5 dyes) procedure was followed to nullify the dye bias associated with unequal incorporation of the two Cy dyes into cDNA. Hybridization and wash processes were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and hybridized microarrays were scanned using an Agilent Microarray scanner. For the detection of significantly differentially expressed genes between control and exercise samples each slide image was processed by Agilent Feature Extraction software (version 9.5.3.1).
