Transcription profiling of mouse C57BL/6 Mouse Embryo Culture Model treated with ethanol

ABSTRACT: Mouse model for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Embryos exposed to alcohol in controlled environment to assess teratogenic effects. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a leading developmental disorder. To date, a holistic view of molecular gene changes is largely unexplored. Using microarray analysis of whole embryo mouse culture with strict-control over alcohol-level, we found, directly related alcohol-metabolism, a reduction of retinol binding protein 1(Rbp1), and a, de novo expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1 (ALDH1B1). Remarkably, four key hemopoiesis genes (glycophorin A, adducin 2, beta-2 microglobulin, and ceruloplasmin) became absent, and many histone variants genes were reduced. Hypothesis-driven informatics analysis and intersection analysis of two independent experiments indicated that the altered genes are involved in cell growth, hemopoiesis, histone modification, eye and heart development, and a collective reduction in expression of growth factor genes (Igf1, Efemp1, Tieg, and Edil3) and neural specification genes (neurogenin, Sox 5, bHLHb5). Down-regulated neural specification phenotypes further supported the above findings. Further more, the gene expression profile indicated distinct subgroups which overlapped with the teratogenesis of the open- and the closed-neural tubes known in FAS. In summary, our data reveal genes alteration with causal potential for dysmorpology (e.g. retinoic acid, neuronal specification, and neurotrophic factors, and epigenetics related histone genes) and those downstream responsive genes related to alcohol metabolism, and developmental teratogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Comparison of whole embryo gene expression after exposure to ethanol for 46 hours. Note 2 independent experiments completed.

This is a first report, using our MotifModeler informatics program, to simultaneously identify transcription factor (TF) and microRNA (miRNA) binding sites from gene expression microarray data. Based on the assumption that gene expression is controlled by combinatorial effects of transcription factors binding in the 5'-upstream regulatory region and miRNAs binding in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR), we developed a model for (1) predicting the most influential cis-acting elements under a give ...[more]

Project description:EXPERIMENT: Microarray expression profiles derived from the cranial neural folds (headfold) of neurulation-stage mouse embryos 3.0h after maternal alcohol exposure on 8 d.p.c. ANIMAL MODEL: Pregnancies from 2 substrains of C57BL/6 mice that differ in relative risk of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS): C57BL/6J (B6J) high-risk condition, and C57BL/6NCrl (B6N) low-risk condition. EXPOSURE: Dams dosed with ethanol (EtOH) by intraperitoneal injection at 2.9 g EtOH per kg body weight. Controls received vehicle (saline) alone. A third group of dams received EtOH + 4.0 mg/kg PK11195, a specific high-affinity ligand to the 18 KDa mitochondrial peripheral benzodiazepine receptor site. INTERVAL: High blood alcohol content must be sustained in dams for several hours to invoke FAS and is traditionally accomplished by a double injection of EtOH 4.0h apart. Since these embryos were harvested for genetic analysis 1h before dams would have gotten the second alcohol injection, the interval represents a snapshot of the critical response, prior to the second maternal injection that invokes greater risk. Counter-exposure to PK11195 significantly lowers the adverse response of B6J embryos to EtOH. PLATFORM: Two independent assays run. The first dataset (PE), run April 2002 â January 2003, used samples pooled from 2 litters (PE) and the platform was a two-channel MPS621 array (http://www.lifesciences.perkinelmer.com/). This platform has 4800 sequence-verified gene elements derived from over 50 different human cDNA libraries reflecting a variety of well-annotated cellular processes and disease pathways. The second dataset (AF), run between May 2005 â November 2005, used samples pooled from 1 litter and the platform was Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (http://www.affymetrix.com/). The MG430A 2.0 platform has 45,102 oligonucleotide probe cells representing approximately 14,000 well-characterized genes in the draft mouse genome assembly. The corresponding GEO samples are GSM12218 - GSM12227 for the two-channel PE arrays, and GSM136067 - GSM136078 for the one-channel AF arrays.

Project description:Gene expression was measured using microarrays in 8 hour postfertilization embryos, comparing control versus ethanol-treated (2 to 8 hours postfertilization) embryos. This experiment was performed to determine the gene expression changes that occur in response to ethanol treatment as a model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) occurs when pregnant mothers consume alcohol, causing embryonic ethanol exposure and characteristic birth defects that include craniofacial, neural and cardiac defects. Gastrulation is a particularly sensitive developmental stage for teratogen exposure, and zebrafish is an outstanding model to study gastrulation and FASD. Epiboly (spreading blastomere cells over the yolk cell), prechordal plate migration and convergence/extension cell movements are sensitive to early ethanol exposure. Here, experiments are presented to characterize mechanisms of ethanol toxicity on epiboly and gastrulation. Epiboly mechanisms include blastomere radial intercalation cell movements and yolk cell microtubule cytoskeleton pulling the embryo to the vegetal pole. Both of these processes were disrupted by ethanol exposure. Ethanol effects on cell migration also indicated that cell adhesion was affected, which was confirmed by cell aggregation assays. E-cadherin cell adhesion molecule expression and distribution, which control epiboly and gastrulation, were not affected. Gene expression microarray analysis was used to identify potential causative factors for early development defects, and expression of the cell adhesion molecule protocadherin-18a (pcdh18a), which controls epiboly, was significantly reduced in ethanol-exposed embryos. Injecting pcdh18a synthetic mRNA in ethanol-treated embryos partially rescued epiboly cell movements, including enveloping layer cell shape changes. Together, data show that epiboly and gastrulation defects induced by ethanol are multifactorial, and include yolk cell (extraembryonic tissue) microtubule cytoskeleton disruption and blastomere adhesion defects, in part caused by reduced pcdh18a expression. Control vs. ethanol-treated zebrafish embryos that were treated from 2 to 8 hours postfertilization. Total RNA from control and ethanol-treated embryos were harvested at 8 hours postfertilization.
