<h4>Background</h4>Nephrotoxicity is the most prominent one among the various toxicities of ochratoxin A (OTA). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that have an impact on a wide range of biological processes by regulating gene expression at post-transcriptional level or protein systhesis level. The objective of this study is to analyze miRNA profiling in the kidneys of rats gavaged with OTA.<h4>Results</h4>To profile miRNAs in the kidneys of rats with OTA nephrotoxicity, high-throughput ...[more]

Project description:The study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of Jianxin (JX) granules, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, in the treatment of heart failure (HF) using metabolomic profiling. The HF model was established by ligation of left coronary artery. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into three groups: the model group, the JX granules group, and Sacubitril/Valsartan (S/V) group. Four weeks after treatment, LV tissue samples were collected. Proteomics was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins and potential pathways. The differential expressed proteins (DEPs) were obtained with Tandem Mass Tags approach. As compared to the control group, 150 DEPs were identified in model rats, comprising 112 up-regulated and 38 down-regulated proteins. Notably, in the JX granules group, 25 DEPs were identified compared to the model rats, encompassing 18 up-regulated and 7 down-regulated proteins. In comparison with the control group, 228 DEPs in the JX granules group were obtained, which comprised of 128 up-regulated and 100 down-regulated proteins. As compared with the control group, BP in the model group was mainly enriched in humoral immune response, positive regulation of apoptotic cell clearance, and the response to metal ions; Meanwhile, CC was mainly related to contractile and stress fibers, actin filaments, and extracellular space; MF was mainly enriched in the serine-type peptidase activity, actin binding, and peptidase activity. Furthermore, DEPs indicated by KEGG analysis were primarily linked to pathways such as the complement and coagulation cascades, regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and adrenergic signaling. In contrast to the model group, BP in JX granules group was primarily associated with processes involving nucleosome organization, chromatin assembly or disassembly, DNA conformation change and small molecule catabolic processes; CC was primarily related to the protein-DNA complex, mitochondrion, intracellular, nucleosome, cytoplasm; MF displayed significant enrichment in protein dimerization and homodimerization activity, catalase activity, chromatin and nucleosomal DNA binding. Considering KEGG enrichment information, DEPs in the JX granules group were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways and ribosome pathway. The key differential genes, such as triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1), lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB), pyruvate kinase M (PKM), protein kinase B (Akt), and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) were identified. The vital pathways including carbon metabolism, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, pyruvate metabolism, and HIF-1α signaling pathway were obtained.

Project description:We investigated a glomerulonephritis (GN) model in rats induced by nephrotoxic serum (NTS) which contains antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). The anti-GBM GN model in rats is widely used since its biochemical and histopathological characteristics are similar to crescentic nephritis and Goodpasture's disease in humans. Male Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were dosed once with 1, 2.5 and 5 ml/kg nephrotoxic serum (NTS) or 1.5 and 5 ml/kg NTS, respectively. GN and tubular damage were observed histopathologically in all treated rats after 14 days. To obtain insight into molecular processes during GN pathogenesis, mRNA expression was investigated in WKY and SD kidneys. The immunopathological processes during GN are still not fully understood and likely involve both innate and adaptive immunity. In the present study, several hundred mRNAs were found deregulated, which functionally were mostly associated with inflammation and regeneration. The ?-chain of the major histocompatibility complex class II RT1.B (Rt1-Bb) and complement component 6 (C6) were identified as two mRNAs differentially expressed between WKY and SD rat strains which could be related to known different susceptibilities to NTS of different rat strains; both were increased in WKY and decreased in SD rats. Increased Rt1-Bb expression in WKY rats could indicate a stronger and more persistent cellular reaction of the adaptive immune system in this strain, in line with findings indicating adaptive immune reactions during GN. The complement cascade is also known to be essential for GN development, especially terminal cascade products like C6. Two different rat strains (WKY and SD) were dosed with different doses of NTS and after 14 days rats were euthanized and kidneys were removed for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to analyze the deregulation of gene expression during NTS-induced glomerulonephritis and to compare the effect in the two rat strains.
