Project description:In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the multiple roles of L1 in endothelium, we checked whether manipulating its expression affected the transcriptome of lECs. To this purpose, we compared the gene expression profiles of L1-overexpressing and control lECs by Affymetrix, which revealed a remarkable effect of L1 overexpression on lECs transcriptome. Mouse lung-derived EC (lECs), kindly provided by E. Dejana (Milan, Italy), were stably transfected with a pcDNA3.1/Hygro(-) vector containing mouse LICAM full length or with and empty pcDNA3.1/Hygro(-) vector as control. Three independent experimental replicates were performed.

Project description:Angiogenesis is a complex process orchestrated by both growth factors and cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and is initiated by focal degradation of the vascular basement membrane with subsequent migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (EC). The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is critical for EC function during angiogensis. Although in vitro studies implicate ERK1 and ERK2 in EC survival, their precise role in EC function in vivo remains poorly defined. Cre/loxP technology was used to inactivate Erk1 and Erk2 in EC during murine development, resulting in embryonic lethality due to a drastic reduction in angiogenesis. The angiogenic defect was linked to diminished EC proliferation and migration, but not to increased cell apoptosis. Expression of key cell cycle regulators was diminished in the double knockout cells. In addition, both Paxillin and Focal Adhesion Kinase were expressed at lower levels and failed to correctly localize to the cell membrane in EC lacking Erk1 and Erk2, leading to defects in the organization of the cytoskeleton and in cell motility. The results demonstrate that ERK1 and ERK2 coordinate cell proliferation and migration during angiogenesis. Lentivirus infected cells to generate ERK1/2 WT and ERK1/2 DKO endothelial cells were cultured, RNA was extracted and Affymetrix gene expression arrays were performed.

Project description:In somatic embryogenesis, embryos are formed from a single or small group of somatic cells in response to stress and hormonal stimuli. In this study, a high-throughput phosphoproteomic analysis was used to identify and quantify phosphoproteins related to the acquisition of embryogenic competence in sugarcane. Embryogenic (EC) and nonembryogenic (NEC) calli were compared at the multiplication phase, resulting in the identification of 1279 phosphoproteins. After the differential accumulation analysis, 163 phosphoproteins were identified as unique to EC, and nine were unique to NEC, while 51 were upaccumulated, and 40 were downaccumulated in EC compared to NEC. These phosphopeptides were mainly single phosphorylated peptides, with serine residues representing the major site of phosphorylation. The motif-x analysis revealed the enrichment of [xxxpSPxxx], [RxxpSxxx] and [xxxpSDxxx] motifs, which are predicted phosphorylation sites for several kinases related to stress responses. Gene ontology enrichment revealed an overrepresentation of biological processes involved in embryonic development, showing that EC-related phosphoproteins (unique to EC and upaccumulated) were associated with stress responses, regulation of gene expression and epigenetic modifications. The NEC-related phosphoproteins (unique to NEC and downaccumulated) were associated with the translation process. In this sense, EC-related phosphoproteins described as potential regulators of abiotic stress tolerance in response to ABA-induced signals such as OSK3 (a catalytic subunit of SnRK1), ABF1, LEAs, REM4.1 and RD29Bs were identified. On the other hand, the NEC-related phosphoproteins EDR1 and PP2Ac-2 were negative regulators of ABA, suggesting a role of ABA in the acquisition of embryogenic competence linked to stress tolerance. Moreover, EC-related phosphoproteins associated with epigenetic modifications, such as HDA6, HDA19, and TPL, as well as those involved in embryo development, including ASIL1, M3KE1, MCM2, and GRV2, were identified as putative potential regulators of embryogenic competence. Our results provide novel data that may help elucidate the phosphorylation mechanisms controlling the activity, affinity and localization of specific proteins during somatic embryogenesis and suggest a role for these proteins in the hormonal signalling cascade leading to stress adaptation by reprogramming genetic expression.

Project description:Alterations in the gastrointestinal microbiota have been implicated in obesity in mice and humans, but the conserved microbial functions that influence host energy metabolism and adiposity have not been determined. Here we show that bacterial bile salt hydrolase (BSH) controls a microbe-host dialogue which functionally regulates host lipid metabolism and weight gain. Expression of cloned BSH enzymes in the GI tract of gnotobiotic or conventional mice significantly altered plasma bile acid signatures and regulated transcription of key genes involved in lipid metabolism (PPARgamma angptl4), cholesterol metabolism (abcg5/8), gastrointestinal homeostasis (regIIIgamma) and circadian rhythm (dbp, per1/2) in the liver or small intestine. High-level expression of BSH in conventionally raised mice resulted in significant reduction of host weight-gain, plasma cholesterol and liver triglycerides. We demonstrate that bacterial BSH activity significantly impacts systemic metabolic processes and adiposity in the host, and represents a key mechanistic target for the control of obesity and hypercholesterolaemia. Germ free Swiss Webster mice were monocolonised with EC containing the bacterial gene, Bile salt hydroalse. The treatment groups and relevant controls were; 1. Germ Free(GF) n=4 , 2. GF and EC n=4, 3. GF and EC +BSH1 n=4, 4. GF and EC+ BSH2 n=4, 5. GF re-conventionalised (CONV-D) n= 5. The Ileum and Liver were removed and the RNA extracted (RNAeasy plus universal kit (Qiagen), quantified and Microarrays were carried out using mouse Exon ST1.0 arrays (Affymetrix) by Almac Group, Craigavon, Northern Ireland. Analysis and pathway mapping was carried out by ALMAC and using Subio Platform software (Subio Inc) and Genesis Software.

Project description:In endothelial cells (ECs), stimulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces the release of diverse pro-inflammatory mediators beneficial in controlling bacterial infections. However, their systemic secretion is a main driver of sepsis and chronic inflammatory diseases. Since distinct and rapid TLR4 signaling induction is difficult to achieve by LPS due to its poorly controllable binding and non-specific affinity to other surface molecules and receptors, we engineered new light-oxygen-voltage-sensing (LOV) domain-based optogenetic endothelial cell lines (opto-TLR4-LOV LEC and opto-TLR4-LOV HUVEC) that allow precise temporal and reversible activation of TLR4 signaling pathways. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, RT-qPCR and Western Blot analysis, we show that pro-inflammatory proteins were not only expressed differently, but also had a different time course when the cells were stimulated with light or LPS. Additional functional assays demonstrated that light induction promoted chemotaxis of THP-1 cells, disruption of the EC-monolayer and transmigration. In contrast, ECs incorporating a truncated version of the TLR4 extracellular domain (opto-TLR4 ΔECD2-LOV LEC) revealed high basal activity with fast exploitation of cell signaling system upon illumination. We conclude that the established optogenetic cell lines are well suited to induce rapid and precise photoactivation of TLR4, allowing receptor-specific studies.

Project description:Exon-level transcriptome analysis of embryonal carcinoma (EC) and embryonic stem (ES) cell lines. To circumvent difficulties of isolating pure populations of cancer stem cells for the purpose of identifying malignancy-specific gene expression, we have compared exon-resolution transcriptomic profiles of five embryonal carcinoma (EC) cell lines, a histological subtype of germ cell tumour, to their non-malignant caricature, specifically six human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines. Both cell types are readily accessible, and were purified for undifferentiated cells only. We identified a set of 28 differentially expressed genes, many of which had cancer and stemness roles. Overexpression of the recently discovered pluripotency gene NR5A2 in malignant EC cells revealed an intriguing indication of how WNT-mediated dysregulation of pluripotency is involved with malignancy. At the exon-level, alternative splicing events were detected in ZNF195, DNMT3B and PMF1, and alternative promoters were detected for ASH2L and ETV5. These events were validated by RT-PCR-based methods in EC and ES lines, and further explored within a series of 25 primary tumours, where the alternative splicing event in the de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B may have functional consequences. In conclusion, we have identified malignancy-specific gene expression differences within a rigorous pluripotent stem cell context. These findings are of particular interest for both germ cell tumour and ES cell biology, and in general to the concept of cancer stem cells. 5 EC and 6 ES cell lines gown on plastic and feeders respectively were sorted for the pluripotency marker SSEA3, then profiled on the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. 3 additional EC lines grown on feeders and ES medium were also profiled in the same way. Data was analyzed using Qlucore (PCA), XRAY and limma (gene- and exon-level expression differences) and SAM (two-class pair-wise Significance of Microarrays).

Project description:This study compared the photosynthetic performance and the global gene expression of the winter hardy wheat Triticum aestivum cv Norstar grown under non-acclimated (NA) or cold-acclimated (CA) condition at either ambient CO2 or elevated CO2 (EC). CA Norstar maintained comparable light saturated and CO2 saturated rates of photosynthesis but lower quantum requirements for photosystem II and non photochemical quenching relative to NA plants even at EC. Neither NA nor CA plants were sensitive to feedback inhibition of photosynthesis at EC. Global gene expression using microarray combined with bioinformatics analysis revealed that genes affected by EC were 3 times higher in NA (1022 genes) compared to CA (372 genes) Norstar. The most striking effect was the down-regulation of genes involved in the plant defense responses in NA Norstar. In contrast, cold acclimation reversed this down regulation due to the cold induction of genes involved in plant pathogenesis resistance, and cellular and chloroplast protection. These results suggest that EC have less impact on plant performance and productivity in cold adapted winter hardy plants in the northern climates compared to warmer environments. Selection for cereal cultivars with constitutively higher expression of biotic stress defense genes may be necessary under EC during the warm growth period and in warmer climates. Twelve replicate pots with 3 plants per pot were grown at either NA or CA conditions at either ambient or EC. To minimize any possible chamber effects, the 12 replicate pots at each growth condition were distributed between two growth chambers. A total of 3 biological replicates for each condition were used for microarray analyses. Each biological replicate sample was obtained by pooling three whole fully expanded 3rd leaves from different plants harvested randomly. The different biological samples of Norstar winter wheat leaves were ground in dry ice to fine powder and total RNA was extracted with trizol (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, CA). Total RNA was cleaned using RNeasy plant mini kit (Qiagen) and integrity was determined on agarose gel and on a bioanalyser (Agilent 2100). Synthesized cDNAs were transcribed to cRNAs with the 3M-bM-^@M-^YIVT labelling kit (Santa Clara, CA, USA) and hybridized to the Affymetrix wheat genome array (Santa Clara, Ca, USA) at the McGill University and GM-CM-)nome QuM-CM-)bec Innovation Centre (Montreal, Qc, CA). The experimental design consisted of three biological replicates for each of the four growth conditions, 1: Non-acclimated (NA) at ambient CO2 (AC) (NAAC); 2: Cold-acclimated (CA) at ambient CO2 (AC) (CAAC); 3: Non-acclimated (NA) at elevated CO2 (EC) (NAEC); 4: Cold-acclimated (CA) at elevated CO2 (EC) (CAEC). Thus, a total of 3 biological samples from each of the 4 growth conditions described above were used for hybridizations.

Project description:Generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC). Immature DC were prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from whole blood of healthy donors. A minimum of 3 individual donor blood was used for each experiment. PBMCs were incubated with anti-CD14 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergish Gladbach, Germany) as specified in the manufacturer's instructions. The isolated monocytes were resuspended at 10^6 cells/ml in medium supplemented with 10% human AB serum, 100 ng/ml GM-CSF (Leucomax; Novartis, Camberley, UK) and 50 ng/ml IL-4 (Peprotech EC Ltd, London, UK), cultured in tissue culture flasks. On day 7 the cells were defined as immature DC with low/intermediate HLA-DR expression. Microarray analysis of the effects of Paclitaxel and LPS on DC. Total RNA was extracted from day 7 DC which had been treated for 2 h with 1 ug/ml LPS or 100 uM paclitaxel for 2 h then washed and returned to culture for 24 h. This was used as a template to generate Cy3-labelled cRNA, using the Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent). This was used as a probe on the Whole Human Genome Microarray (4x44K) slide (Agilent). Slides were scanned using the Agilent scanner and data extracted using Feature Extraction Software 9.5.3 (Agilent). Subsequent data analysis was performed using GeneSpring GX software.
