Transcription profiling of hearts of tetracycline transactivator (tTA) transgenice mice and wild type mice to study the effects of tTA expression in the hearts.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted using affymetrix microarrays. We were interested in determining the effects of tTA expression in the hearts of FVBN mice. We compared expression to wild type mice.

The cardiac-specific tetracycline-regulated gene expression system (tet-system) is a powerful tool using double-transgenic mice. The cardiac alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter (alphaMHC) drives lifetime expression of a tetracycline-inhibited transcription activator (tTA). Crossing alphaMHC-tTA mice with mice containing a tTA-responsive promoter linked to a target gene yields double-transgenic mice having tetracycline-repressed expression of the target gene in the heart. Using the tet-system, some ...[more]

Project description:Background: Commercial Atlantic salmon is fed diets with high fat levels to promote fast and cost-eﬀective growth. To avoid negative impact of obesity, food additives that stimulate fat metabolism and immune function are of high interest. TTA, tetradecylthioacetic acid, is a synthetic fatty acid that stimulates mitochondrial β -oxidation most likely by activation of peroxysome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). PPARs are important transcription factors regulating multiple functions including fat metabolism and immune responses. Atlantic salmon experiments have shown that TTA supplemented diets signiﬁcantly reduce mortality during natural outbreaks of viral diseases, suggesting a modulatory role of the immune system. Results: To gain new insights into TTA eﬀects on the Atlantic salmon immune system, a factorial, high-throughput microarray experiment was conducted using a 44K oligo nucleotide salmon microarray SIQ2.0 and the Atlantic salmon macrophage-like cell line ASK. The experiment was used to determine the transcriptional eﬀects of TTA, the eﬀects of TTA in poly(I:C) elicited cells and the eﬀects of pretreating the cells with TTA. The expression patterns revealed that a large proportion of genes regulated by TTA were related to lipid metabolism and increased mitochondrial β -oxidation. In addition we found that for a subset of genes TTA antagonized the transcriptional eﬀects of poly(I:C). This, together with the results from qRT-PCR showing an increased transcription of anti-inﬂammatory IL10 by TTA, indicates anti-inﬂammatory eﬀects. Conclusions: We demonstrate that TTA has signiﬁcant eﬀects on macrophage-like salmon cells that are challenged by the artiﬁcial dsRNA poly(I:C). The immune stimulatory eﬀect of TTA in macrophages involves increased lipid metabolism and suppressed inﬂammatory status. Thus, suggesting that TTA directs the macrophage-like cells towards alternative, anti-inﬂammatory, activation. This has positive implications for TTA as a feed additive.
