Project description:Colorectal cancer often arises from adenomatous polyps. Polyps can grow and progress to cancer, but may also remain static in size, regress, or resolve. Prediciting which progress to cancer and which remain benign is difficult. We developed a long-lived murine model of colorectal cancer with tumors that can be followed by colonoscopy. Our aim was to assess whether these tumors have similar growth patterns and histologic fates to human colorectal polyps to identify features to aid in risk stratification of colonic tumors. Long-lived Apcin/+ mice were treated with 4% dextran sodium sulfate to promote colonic tumorigenesis. Tumor growth patterns were characterized by serial colonoscopy, and pathology was determined. Serial biopsies of tumors were obtained for immunohistochemistry and gene expression profiling by microarray analysis with Affymetrix Whole Genome array. Tumors (n=424) grew, remained static, regressed, or resolved over time with different relative frequencies. Newly developed tumors demonstrated dynamic growth patterns with higher rates of growth and resolution, while more established tumors tended to remain static in size. Colonic tumors were hyperplastic lesions (3%), adenomas (73%), intramucosal carcinomas (20%), or adenocarcinomas (3%). Differentially expressed genes between adenomas and intramucosal carcinomas were identified. We did not identify differentially expressed genes between early and late biopsies from the same tumor. This novel murine model of intestinal tumorigenesis develops colonic tumors that can be monitored by serial colonoscopy, mirror growth patterns seen in human colorectal polyps, and progress to colorectal cancer. Further characterization of cellular and molecular features are needed to determine which features can be used to risk-stratify polyps for progress to colorectal cancer and potentially guide prevention strategies. F1 (SWR x C57BL/6) Apcin/+ mice who had been given two treatments of 4% dextran sodium sulfate in drinking water at weaning underwent colonoscopy around 80 days of age. Those with distal colonic tumors amenable to biopsy had two biopsies taken at that time. Tumors were monitored by colonoscopy every 14 days. Every 28 days, two additional biopsies were taken of each tumor. This protocol was repeated until mice were moribund. Six tumors were removed after sacrifice. The earliest and latest biopsies of each tumor were selected for RNA extraction and Affymetrix hybridization.

Project description:The objective of this study was to determine which pathways are significantly regulated with age in sciatic and radial nerves, individually or considering the interaction term. We find a strong signature of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway being downregulated with age in both nerves, however, this effect is significantly milder in the radial nerve. We collected both radial and sciatic nerves from 8 adult (8 months old) and 8 old (24 months old) rats.

Project description:Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common and severe complication of sepsis. While several studies have reported the proteomic alteration in plasma, urine, heart, etc. of sepsis, few research focused on the brain tissue. This study aims at discovering the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of septic rats to identify biomarkers of SAE. Methods: The Prague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sepsis (n = 6) or sham (n = 6) groups, and then the whole brain tissue was dissected at 24 h after surgery for further protein identification by TMT-LC–MS/MS-based proteomics. Ingenuity pathway analysis, Gene ontology knowledgebase, and STRING database are used to explore the biological significance of proteins with altered concentration. Results: Among the total of 3163 proteins identified in the brain tissue, 57 were increased while 38 were decreased in the sepsis group compared to the sham group. Bioinformatic analyses suggest that the differentially abundant proteins are highly related to cellular microtubule metabolism, energy production, nucleic acid metabolism, neurological disease, etc. Additionally, acute phase response signaling was possibly activated and PI3K/AKT signaling was suppressed during sepsis. An interaction network established by IPA revealed that Akt1, Gc-globulin, and ApoA1 were the core proteins. The increase of Gc-globulin and the decrease of Akt1 were confirmed by Western blot. Conclusions: Based on the multifunction of these proteins in several brain diseases, we first propose that Gc-globulin, ApoA1, PI3K/AKT pathway, and acute phase response proteins (hemopexin and cluster of alpha-2-macroglobulin) can potentially be diagnosis biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and prognosis indicators of SAE. These results may provide new insights into the pathologic mechanism of SAE, yet further research is required to explore the functional implications and clinical applications of the differentially abundant proteins in the brains of sepsis group.

Project description:This study aims at a comprehensive understanding of the genomic program activated during early-phase of collateral vessel growth in a rat model for cerebral adaptive arteriogenesis (3-VO). While arteriogenesis constitutes a promising therapeutic concept for cerebrovascular ischemia, genomic profiles essential for therapeutic target identification were analysed solely for collateral arteries of the heart and periphery. Despite challenging anatomical conditions of the brain the 3-VO model allows identification of differentially expressed genes during adaptive cerebral arteriogenesis by selective removal of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA). Experiment Overall Design: Using an established rat model of nonischemic cerebral hypoperfusion (3-VO) (Busch, Buschmann; 2003), RNA was extracted from isolated ipsilateral PCA. Pooled RNAs from groups of intact (0h), sham and 3-VO animals 24h and 3 days after surgery, were hybridised repeatedly for an extensive genome screen of 15866 genes applying standardized Affymetrix technology. For each Array total RNA from 8 animals was processed, pooled and hybridized to a Rat230A GeneChip per group. These groups were classified as follows: intact control (N=3), 24h3VO (N=3); 24h sham (N=3), 3days3VO (N=3); and 3days sham(N=3). Hybridization, washing, antibody amplification, staining, and scanning of probe arrays were performed according to the Affymetrix Technical Manual. Probe arrays were scanned using the GeneChip System (Hewlett-Packard, Santa Cruz, CA)(Affymetrix) and raw data were processed using GCOS and normalized to a global intensity of 500.

Project description:Polymeric elastomers are extensively employed to fabricate implants intended for prolonged implantation. However, implantation of the elastomers can induce strong immune rejection reaction known as foreign body response (FBR), resulting in the rejection of foreign implants and thereby diminishing their in vivo efficacy. Herein, we present a group of immunocompatible elastomers, termed easy-to-synthesize vinyl-based anti-FBR dense elastomers (EVADE), synthesized via a straightforward and scalable method. In contrast to the pronounced immune reaction triggered by the commonly used implantable elastomers, EVADE materials effectively suppress the inflammation and long-term capsule formation in subcutaneous models of rodents and non-human primates for at least one year and two months, respectively. Implantation of EVADE materials significantly reduces the expression of inflammation-related proteins S100A8/A9 in adjacent tissues compared to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). We also show that inhibition or knockout of S100A8/A9 leads to substantial attenuation of fibrosis in mice, suggesting a target for fibrosis inhibition. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) catheters constructed from EVADE elastomers demonstrate significantly improved longevity and performance compared to commercial catheters. The EVADE materials reported here may enhance and extend function in various medical devices by resisting local immune responses to implanted biomaterials.

Project description:The depressive-like behavior in animals is usually assessed by standardized behavioral tests such as the forced swimming test. However, the findings of these tests may be affected by individual variability among animals, which may hinder the discovery of genes responsible for depression. Few reports have showed the influence of individual variability in identifying the genes associated with depressive-like behavior. In this study, we measured the immobility ratio (% immobility in 5 min) in the forced swimming test in 106 male Wistar rats. According to the distribution of individual immobility ratio, the rats were divided into three groups: the control group with immobility ratio -1 to +1 standard deviation (SD) from the mean, the depressive group with immobility ratio +1 to +2 SD above the mean, and the anti-depressive group with immobility ratio -1 to -2 SD below the mean. Microarray analysis was used to identify the genes differentially expressed by depressive group rats in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. The differentially expressed genes in both brain regions of the depressive group were Alas2, Gh1, Hba-a2, Hbb, Hbb-b1, Hbe2, LOC689064, Mrps10, Mybpc, Olf6415, and Pfkb1. Ingenuity pathway analysis identified Gh1 as a hub gene in the networks of the differentially expressed genes in both brain regions. This study indicates that inherent differences in depressive-like behavior may be related to the Gh1 expression in the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex. We measured the immobility ratio of 106 normal rats using the forced swimming test and statistically analysis. We selected the rats exhibitting depressive-like behavior or average in the 106 rats. Total RNA was prepareted from the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex. An equal amount of RNA from 4 rats in each group was pooled and used for microarray analysis.

Project description:Diet High in salt content have been associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. We recently demonstrated that transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels regulate myofibroblast transdifferentiation in hypertrophic scars. Here, we examined how high salt activation of TRPC3 participates in hypertrophic scarring during wound healing. In vitro, we confirmed that high salt increased the TRPC3 protein expression and the marker of myofibroblast alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in wild-type mice (WT) primary cultured dermal fibroblasts but not Trpc3-/- mice. Activation of TRPC3 by high salt elevated cytosolic Ca2+ influx and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in dermal fibroblasts in a TRPC3-dependent manner. High salt activation of TRPC3 enhanced mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase action, that activated ROS-triggered Ca2+ influx and the Rho kinase/MLC pathway in WT mice but not Trpc3-/- mice. In vivo, a persistent high-salt diet promoted myofibroblast transdifferentiation and collagen deposition in a TRPC3-dependent manner. Therefore, this study demonstrates that high salt enhances myofibroblast transdifferentiation and promotes hypertrophic scar formation through enhanced mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis, which activates the ROS-mediated pMLC/pMYPT1 pathway. TRPC3 deficiency antagonizes high salt diet-induced hypertrophic scarring. TRPC3 may be a novel target for hypertrophic scarring during wound healing.
