Project description:Understanding congenital liver disease requires elucidation of the signaling pathways and transcriptional events in the developing liver. Comprehensive assessment of gene expression between 10.5 and 16.5 dpc in the developing mouse liver and comparison with adult liver and non-hepatic embryonic tissue was validated with real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. The broad nature of the analysis provides insights into patterns of genetic control of hepatogenesis. Pathways implicated in human disease are highly regulated at the transcriptional level. Rather than activating or inhibiting a pathway or biological process by altering the expression of a single signaling molecule, transcriptional changes in large numbers of genes in a pathway or process are regulated in a coordinated manner. For example, both TGF-beta and Notch signaling is inhibited during hepatogenesis not just by decreasing transcription of multiple pathway members, but also with a complementary increase in the transcription of a pathway inhibitor. Similarly, genes related to specific biological processes exhibit strong temporal synchronization in which multiple members of the pathway have similar transcriptional regulation over time. Global coordination of signaling or functional families at the transcriptional level may be a mechanism to produce robustness of the desired outcomes. In addition, this comprehensive analysis provides a database for the further study of transcriptional events during liver development by identifying liver-specific, highly regulated genes. Experiment Overall Design: In order to provide transcriptional profile of the developing liver compared both to normal adult liver and non-hepatic embryonic tissueswe performed high-density microarray analysis using Affymetrix MG 430 2.0 chips for embryonic liver samples at 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5, and 16.5 days post conception (dpc), embryo-minus liver tissues at 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, and 14.5 dpc, and normal 10-week-old adult mouse liver. Each sample consisted of at least five embryos.

Project description:Normal adult liver is uniquely capable of renewal; and repair after injury. Whether this response; represents simple hyperplasia of various liver elements; or requires recapitulation of the genetic program of; the developing liver is not known. To study these possibilities, we examined transcriptional programs of adult liver after partial hepatectomy and contrasted these with developing embryonic liver. Principal component analysis demonstrated that the time series of gene expression during liver regeneration does not segregate according to developmental transcription patterns. Gene ontology analysis revealed that liver restoration after hepatectomy and liver development differ dramatically with regard to transcription factors and chromatin structure modification. In contrast, the tissues are similar with regard to proliferationassociated genes. Consistent with these findings, realtime polymerase chain reaction showed transcription factors known to be important in liver development are not induced during liver regeneration. These three lines of evidence suggest that at a transcriptional level, restoration of liver mass after injury is best described as hepatocyte hyperplasia and not true regeneration. We speculate this novel pattern of gene expression may underlie the unique capacity of the liver to repair itself after injury. Experiment Overall Design: In order to elucidate the molecular similarities between regenerating and developing liver, we performed high-density microarray analysis using Affymetrix MG 430 2.0 chips for targets at 0, 1, 2, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 48, and 72 hours after partial hepatectomy and at 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13.5, 14.5, and 16.5 days post conception (dpc). Experiment Overall Design: Each experimental time point is represented by two separate samples, each consisting of at least 3 pooled tissues from different animals. For example, 6 hepatectomies were performed for the 1 hour post-hepatectomy time point. Time 0 is used as control.

Project description:Anti-epileptogenic agents that prevent the development of epilepsy following a brain insult remain the holy grail of epilepsy therapeutics. In order to identify such drugs, it is necessary to first understand the cellular and molecular events that underlie the epileptogenic process, from initial insult to the onset of spontaneous recurrent seizures. We have employed a label-free proteomic approach that allows quantification of large numbers of brain-expressed proteins in a single analysis in the well-established kainate (KA) mouse (C57BL/6J) model of epileptogenesis. In addition, we have incorporated two putative antiepileptogenic drugs, PSD95BP and 1400W, to give an insight into how such agents might ameliorate the epileptogenesis. The test drugs were administered at appropriate time-points after induction of status epilepticus (SE) and animals were euthanized at 7 days, their hippocampi removed, and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis. A total of 2,579 proteins were identified; their normalized abundance was compared between treatment groups using ANOVA, with correction for multiple testing by false discovery rate. Significantly altered proteins were subjected to gene ontology analysis to look for enrichment of specific biological processes. KA-induced SE was most robustly associated with an increase in proteins involved in neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, cell-cell interactions and synaptic plasticity. Treatment with PSD95BP (Tat-NR2B9c) or an iNOS inhibitor, 1400W modulated several of these proteins. Our observations require validation in a larger-scale investigation, with candidate proteins explored in more detail. Nevertheless, this study has identified several mechanisms by which epilepsy might be developed and several targets for novel drug development.

Project description:The rat models of colorectal cancer (CRC), such as the azoxymethane (AOM) cancer-inducing model, are important tools for researching cancer initiation pathways. However, there is limited understanding of the expression pathways of underlying normal rat colonic epithelium and how this relates to human colonic epithelium. The aim of this study was to study the acute effects of AOM on the gene and pathway expression of the rat's colonic epithelium, whilst contrasting the background normal global expression patterns along the length of the rat as compared to the normal human colonic epithelium. The study used microarrays to investigate global gene expression of the colonic epithelium from proximal and distal sections of AOM- and saline (normal)-treated Sprague Dawley rats. Rat gene and pathway expression patterns were then compared in-silico with human microarray data (see GSE9254 for files) from normal tissue samples originating from proximal and distal regions of the colon.

Project description:Comparison of global gene expression in the proximal and distal colonic epithelium in azoxymethane treated rats. Experiment Overall Design: Ten male Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 245 ± 14.5 g were housed in wire-bottomed caging in a temperature controlled room (22-24°C) with a 12 h light/dark cycle. They were randomly allocated into two groups (n=5) with approximately equal body weights. They were given free access to water and modified AIN-93G diet for 10 days when they were injected with 15 mg of AOM/kg subcutaneously (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA). They were anaesthetised with isoflurane and killed by exsanguination six hours after injection. The large bowel (excluding the rectum) was removed, opened longitudinally along the mesenteric border and digesta removed. The colon was rinsed clean with PBS and transferred to a chilled ceramic plate. The most distal and the most proximal 0.5 cm were discarded. Mucosal samples for gene expression and protein analyses were collected by scraping the next 4 cm of proximal and distal colon with new microscope slides. Experiment Overall Design: The mucosal scraping was transferred into RNAlater (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) and stored at -80oC for later processing. All instruments were replaced or cleaned thoroughly between animals. All procedures involving animals were approved by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Human Nutrition Animal Ethics Committee and complied with the Australian code of practice (2004). Experiment Overall Design: The distal and proximal colonic mucosal samples were removed from the RNAlater stabilisation reagent (Sigma, Australia) and placed in 1ml of TRIzol® Reagent (Invitrogen, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia). Samples were then homogenised using beads (mix of 2.5mm glass and 0.1 - 1.0mm diameter silicon-zirconian beads) in a MiniBeadbeater-8⢠(BioSpec Products Inc. Oklahoma, US). Total RNA was then extracted according to the TRIzol® Reagent manufacturerâs instruction after which samples were further purified using RNAeasy mini spin columns (QIAGEN, Doncaster, Victoria, Australia) with a DNase on-column digestion as per the manufactureâs instructions. The integrity of the RNA was checked using a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies) and quantified using a NanoDrop® ND-1000 Spectrophotometer. Experiment Overall Design: RNA (4.5ug) samples were processed for Microarray expression analysis using high-density oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix® GeneChip array, Affymetrix®, Santa Clara, CA, USA) commensurate with the manufacturerâs instructions.

Project description:The use of tubulin binders (TBs) in oncology indications often is associated with cardiotoxicity, the mechanism of which has not been elucidated. We observed that a single administration of TBs to rats caused an increase in the number of mitotic figures in the myocardial interstitium after 24 hours. We therefore hypothesized that interstitial cells are the primary target of TBs. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the acute effects of a single intravenous administration of 3 reference TBs, colchicine (0.2 and 2 mg/kg), vinblastine (0.5 and 3 mg/kg), and vincristine (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) 6 and 24 hours after dosing. Mitotic arrest was identified at 24 hours in all high-dose groups based on an increase in the number of mitotic figures in the interstitium coupled with a dramatic decrease in the number of Ki67-positive interstitial cells. Analysis of the myocardial transcriptomic data further supported G2/M cell cycle arrest 6 hours after dosing with the high-dose groups of all 3 compounds. Apoptotic figures and an increase in the number of cleaved caspase 3-positive cells were identified at 6 and 24 hours at the highest dose of each compound almost exclusively in interstitial cells; a few cardiomyocytes were affected as well. Transcriptomic data further suggested that some of the affected interstitial cells were endothelial cells based on the up-regulation of genes typically associated with vascular damage and down-regulation of Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule 1 and Apelin. Taken together, these data identify endothelial cells of the myocardium as the primary target of the cardiotoxicity of TBs and identify cell cycle arrest as the mechanism of this toxicity. Gene expression was profiled in the myocardium of rats at 6 and 24 hr after a single dose of colchicine, vinblastine or vincristine.

Project description:Tumor-stroma interactions are critical in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression and therapeutics. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models faithfully recapitulate tumor-stroma interactions in PDAC, but conventional antibody-based immunoassay is largely inadequate to resolve or quantify tumor and stromal proteins. A species-deconvolved proteomics approach embedded in the ultra-high-resolution (UHR)-IonStar workflow can unambiguously quantify the proteins from tumor (human-derived) and stroma (mouse-derived) in PDX samples, enabling unbiased investigation of their proteomes with excellent quantitative reproducibility. With this strategy, 3 PDAC PDXs were analyzed. They were showed differential responses to treatment with Gemcitabine combined with nab-Paclitaxel (GEM+PTX), which is a first-line treatment regimen for PDAC. For each PDAC PDX, samples were collected after 24 hour and 192 hour with/without treatment, and each condition contained four biological replicates.

Project description:Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years to treat or prevent diseases, including cancer. Good manufacturing practices (GMP) and sophisticated product analysis (PhytomicsQC) to ensure consistency are now available allowing the assessment of its utility. Polychemical Medicines, like TCM, include chemicals with distinct tissue-dependent pharmacodynamic properties that result in tissue-specific bioactivity. Determining the mode of action of these mixtures was previously unsatisfactory; however, information rich RNA microarray technologies now allow for thorough mechanistic studies about complex mixtures effects. PHY906 is a long used four herb TCM formula employed as adjuvant to relieve side effects associated with chemotherapy. Animal studies documented a decrease in global toxicity and an increase in therapeutic effectiveness of chemotherapy when PHY906 was combined. Using a systems biology approach, we studied tumor tissue to identify reasons for the enhancement of the antitumor effect of Irinotecan by PHY-906 in a well-characterized pre-clinical model; PHY-906 and Irinotecan were administered orally to female BDF-1 mice bearing subcutaneous Colon 38 tumors. We observed that 1) individually PHY-906 and Irinotecan induce distinct alterations in tumor, liver and spleen; 2) PHY-906 alone predominantly induces repression of transcription and immune-suppression in tumors; 3) these effects are reverted in the presence of Irinotecan, with prevalent induction of pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory pathways that may favor tumor rejection. Most importantly, PHY-906 together with Irinotecan triggers unique changes not activated by each one alone suggesting that the combination creates a unique tissue-specific response. Four groups of BDF-1 mice bearing colon 38 tumors were treated with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) (n=10), PHY-906 (n=10), Irinotecan (CPT-11, Camptosar(TM)) (n=10) or the combination PHY-906 and Irinotecan (n=10). Tumor (38 samples), spleen (38 samples), and liver (35 samples) tissues were removed and frozen for total RNA isolation and subsequent microarray hybridization. There were a total of 111 samples representing 12 treated tissue groups with 8 to 10 biological replicates each. A reference sample was generated from a pool of mixed normal mouse tissue.
