Project description:In this study we employed the chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) rat model that leads to anxiety features comparable to humans and validated in several published reports as a well-characterized model of depression symptoms with high predictive validity. Cytokines and activated intracellular kinase levels were determined using high throughput multiplex assays. RNA from freshly isolated adipocytes was used to run whole genome expression microarray profiling in control and stressed rats. Adipocyte function was assessed via tritiated glucose uptake assay. The expression of four cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and MCP-1) was validated via real-time PCR and the all showed increased expression levels with chronic unpredictable stress. Male rats were subjected to chronic unpredictable stress for 35 days and total body fat was measured. The analyses presented here represents data from experiments performed in 6 control and 6 stressed rats in parallel. All cells for RNA isolation were collected at the conclusion of the 35 day stress protocol.

Project description:Pregnancy has been shown to decrease the risk of mammary carcinogenesis in human rretrospective epidemiological studies. In rodents, pregnancy prior to carcinogen administration or after carcinogen challenge has also been shown to reduce the incidence of palpable carcinomas. In this study our objective to determine the underlying genomic signature of the pregnancy and reproductive hormones on the mammary gland that contribute to the protection against mammary gland carcinogenesis. We used the rat microarray technology to observe total transcriptome changes after the pregnancy and exogenous reproductive hormone stimulation of the mammary gland. Fifteen 3 month old post-pubertal virgin Lewis rats were randomly assigned to three groups (5 rats per group): control (C), pregnancy (P) and hormone treatment (H). The P group animals had a full-term pregnancy (21-23 days) and rats in the group H were implanted subcutaneously on the dorsal midline with two silastic capsules [(0.078 inch inner diameter, 0.125 inch outer diameter) x 2 cm long; Dow Corning, Midland, MI) filled separately with 100 μg ethynyl estradiol (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) packed in a cellulose matrix (Sigma) and 30 mg of megesterol acetate (Sigma) for 21 days. The control animals had neither the hormone treatment nor being pregnant. The animals in C and P groups were also implanted with sham capsules filled with cellulose matrix only. The capsules were surgically implanted at the beginning of the experiment and removed from all animals after 21 days except that the capsules were removed from the P group following parturition (21-23 days). The delivered pups in the P group were euthanized within 4-6 hours of delivery to avoid suckling. After the removal of capsules all groups were rested a total of ~49 days before euthanasia. All animals were euthanized during metestrus stage, determined by vaginal cytology and total RNA was extracted from the mammary gland tissues using Trizol reagent.

Project description:This study looks at the effect of glycomacropeptide (GMP) treatment on rats with trinitrobenzene sulfuric acid (TNBS) induced colitis.<br><br> Female Wistar rats (175-225 g) were randomly assigned to three different groups. A control group C (n=3) that did not receive the TNBS challenge but 0.25 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) intrarectally, and two groups (group T (n=3) and group GMP (n=5) that received the TNBS challenge as described below. Group GMP received 500 mg kg-1 day-1 of GMP in 1% methylcellulose p.o, starting two days before the TNBS challenge. Treatment was administered to rats for five days after the TNBS challenge using an oesophageal catheter. The T group received the vehicle. Colitis was induced by the method of Morris et al. with minor modifications (13). Briefly, animals were fasted overnight and anaesthetized with halothane. Under these conditions, animals were given 10 mg of TNBS dissolved in 0.25 ml of 50% ethanol (v v-1) by means of a Teflon cannula inserted 8 cm through the anus. Animals were kept in a head-down position for an additional 30 s and returned to their cage. Distal colon samples were obtained. For TNBS treated animals samples were obtained avoiding necrotic tissue.

Project description:The sarcopenia-associated decline of the muscular performances in older people is improved<br>by exercise and caloric restriction but is still lacking a more suitable pharmacological<br>treatment. We investigated the effects of EGb 761, a Gingko biloba extract used to treat<br>chronic age-dependent neurological disorders, on the soleus muscle of aged rats. DNA<br>microarray analysis shows that the EGb 761 treatment is associated with the transcriptional<br>reprogramming of genes related to regeneration and energy production functions. EGb 761<br>up-regulated genes implicated in myogenesis though the TGF? signaling pathway. Also, EGb<br>761, by modulating genes implicated in fatty acids and glucose oxidation, reversed the agerelated<br>shift from lipids to glucose and improved energy production in mitochondria. These<br>modifications restore a more juvenile gene expression pattern that is concomitant with the<br>improvement of the muscular performances, as assessed by electrophysiological and<br>biochemical parameters. Thus, EGb 761 may represent a novel treatment for sarcopenia

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes hospitalizations and mortality worldwide with no approved neuroprotective treatments available, partly due to a poor understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying TBI neuropathology and neuroprotection. We previously reported that the administration of low-dose methamphetamine (MA) induced significant functional/cognitive improvements following severe TBI in rats. We further demonstrated that MA mediates neuroprotection in part, via dopamine-dependent activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway. Here, we further investigated the proteomic changes within the rat cortex and hippocampus following mild TBI (TM), severe TBI (TS), or severe TBI plus MA treatment (TSm) compared to sham operated controls (n=78 in total). We quantified >7,000 unique proteins in total and identified 402 and 801 altered proteins (APs) with high confidence in cortical and hippocampal tissues, respectively. The overall profile of APs observed in TSm rats more closely resembled those seen in TM rather than TS rats. Pathway analysis suggested beneficial roles for acute signaling through IL-6, TGFβ, and IL-1β. Moreover, changes in fibrinogen levels observed in TSm rats suggested a potential role for these proteins in reducing/preventing TBI-induced coagulopathies. These data facilitate further investigations to identify specific pathways and proteins that may serve as key targets for the development of neuroprotective therapies.

Project description:Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats were obtained from Harlan Sprague Dawley Laboratory at 5 weeks of age. At 6 weeks of age, physiologic cardiac hypertrophy was generated by a; vigorous daily exercise regimen for 6 weeks (e group). The exercise protocol is based on those described previously with modifications (Wisloff U et al., 2001; Jin H et al., 1994). Rats were exercised daily for 6 weeks on a rodent treadmill (Exer-6M; Columbus Instruments). The exercise program consisted of three weeks of progressively strenuous exercise regimens; followed by three weeks of maintenance period, during which the rats were exercised at 16 m/min at a 5o incline for 90 minutes/day. All rats completed the exercise protocol. Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was generated by feeding a 6% NaCl diet to DS rats at 6 weeks of age (h group) (Inoko M et al., 1994). Control rats (c group) were age matched and sedentary DS rats fed normal rat chow.

Project description:Effect of "Sensory Protection" on the transcriptome of Gastrocnemius muscle denervated by Tibial nerve transection in the rat. Comparison is made between the muscle transcriptome in denervated muscle (D), muscle undergoing surgical repair with a motor nerve (immediate repair, or IR) and muscle undergoing surgical repair with a pure sensory nerve (sensory protection, or SP). There are 6 cohorts of rats with 4 to 6 rats in each cohort:<br><br>1 Month Denervated, 1 Month Immediate Repair, 1 Month Sensory Protection, 3 Month Denervated, 3 Month Immediate Repair, 3 Month Sensory Protection. <br><br>For each animal RNA was extracted from both the experimental operated (right) gastrocnemius muscle and the contralateral control unoperated (left) gastrocnemius. Samples were run in duplicate with fluorophor reversal experiments (i.e experimental limb RNA labelled with Cy3 and control limb RNA labelled with Cy5 and vice versa) to control for possible unequal incorporation of the dyes in the reverse transcription reaction.

Project description:We profiled the proteomes of uEV and kidney from twelve rats. Six of them were under a standard diet while the other six under a high potassium diet for 4 days. During the revision stage of this project, we further put five rats in metabolic cages for two days, fed with the high potassium diet for 2 days. We made proteome-scale correlation analyses of uEV and kidney using absolute label-free quantification algorithm iBAQ under these three conditions: control, high K 4day, and high K 2 day. We also did label-free quantification (LFQ) to investigate the protein abundance changes in uEV and kidney between control and high K 4day.
