Project description:Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical for regulating CD4 and CD8 T cell immunity, controlling Th1, Th2, and Th17 bias, generating inducible Tregs, and inducing tolerance. Multiple DC subsets have been identified in the mouse that are thought to have evolved to control these different immune outcomes. However, how these subsets differentially respond to inflammatory and/or tolerogenic signals in order to accomplish their divergent functionality remains unclear. Results: We analysed the responses of murine, splenic CD8 and CD11b DC subsets to in-vivo stimulation with lipopolysaccharide using RNA-Seq and systems biology approaches and observed responses are highly subset-specific. We reanalysed multiple datasets from the literature and show that these subset responses are obscured when analysing signaling at the population level. We show that the subset-specificity is due to the unique regulation of distinct TLR4 pathway modulators that ‘fine-tune’ a common TLR4 cascade rather and not due to major differences in signaling pathways or transcription factors. Conclusions: We propose the Pathway Modulation Model wherein common signaling pathways are regulated by unique sets of modulators allowing for distinct immune responses in closely related DC subsets. We extend these observations using analagous datasets from the literature and show that our model provides a global mechanism for generating cell subset-specific signaling in multiple subpopulations in mouse and man. Splenic CD8 and CD11b DC subsets from LPS stimulated (10 pooled animals) and Control (5 pooled animals) mice were analysed by RNA-Seq.

Project description:Mutations in TDP-43 (an RNA binding protein) are known to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Previously, our group and several other studies showed that TDP-43 binds to several RNA targets in the mammalian CNS. ALS causing mutations in the C-terminal region of TDP-43 that is involved in splicing regulation may lead to aberrant splicing of several RNA transcripts. The main aim of this study is to identify the effect of an ALS causing mutation on the splicing regulation of previously known targets of TDP-43. Mice overexpressing a mutant human TDP-43 (hTDP-43) gene were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (strain name - B6;CB-Tg(Prnp-TARDBP*A315T) 95Balo/J; Stock no:010700). Mutant hTDP43 was expressed under the control of a prion protein promoter that drives the expression mainly in the mouse CNS and the male transgenic mice developed symptoms around 12 weeks of age while the female mice develop symptoms approximately 20 weeks of age. Therefore, Tg animals that are 50 days old were considered pre-symptomatic and 100 days old (Tg) animals were considered to be in the post-symptomatic stages of the disease for exon array experiments. Age and sex matched pre and post-symptomatic transgenic animals and their wild type littermates were euthanised by cervical dislocation and tissues (brain and spinal cord) were harvested immediately for total RNA isolation experiments (n=3 per group). 200 ng of total RNA from transgenic TDP-43 mice and wild type animals was converted to cDNA and then amplified using the Applause WT-Amp Plus ST kit (NuGEN). Amplified cDNA was then fragmented and biotin labeled using the Encore Biotin Module kit (NuGEN) according to the manufacturer's instruction manual. Labelled cDNA was then hybridised onto Affymetrix GeneChip Exon 1.0 ST arrays in a hybridisation oven at 45 degrees C for 20 hours at 60rpm. After hybridization, washing and staining of the arrays were carried out using Affymetrix fluidics station 450 followed by scanning using GeneChip scanner. GeneChip Command Console Software (AGCC) controlled both the fluidics station and the scanner. CEL files generated by AGCC were uploaded onto Partek software and the data analysis was carried out using the exon array analysis workflow. Exon 1.0 ST arrays contain many more probes, which are classified into three major types based on their source. They are Core, extended and full probe set annotation. Core annotation refers the probe sets that are the most reliable of the three and is derived based on evidences from Refseq and GenBank. Extended annotations refer to probe sets that are generated based on EST sequences, ENSEMBL gene collections and other databases including those used for generating core probe sets. The full annotation refers to probe sets that are purely based on computational predictions. Core probe set annotation, unlike the extended or full annotation excludes the speculative probes reducing the incidence of false positives and was employed for exon array analysis. Alt-splice Anova, a statistical tool available in Partek was used for identifying novel alternative splicing events.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Dietary ABA-supplementation modulates immune and inflammatory responses in mouse models of chronic and infectious disease. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ABA elicits its immune modulatory effects are not well understood. This project used a systems approach in combination with functional and in vivo studies to investigate the target gene pathways modulated by ABA in the context of an inflammatory LPS challenge. RESULTS: Dietary ABA-supplementation regulates the expression of gene pathways associated with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR g), cAMP signaling and lipid metabolism in PPAR g-expressing mice. However, the pattern of differentially expressed genes is significantly reduced in the spleens of tissue-specific PPAR g null mice fed ABA. These differences in gene expression coincided with enhanced PPAR g-reporter activity of macrophages treated with ABA and enhanced intracellular cAMP accumulation in ABA-treated splenocytes. Splenocytes from wild-type (WT) and Null (epithelial and immune cell-specific PPARg knock-out) mice were sampled with or without ABA supplementation and with or without LPS stimulation.

Project description:ERRa is an orphan nuclear receptor with an established role in cell metabolism. Our studies demonstrate that acute or chronic loss of ERRa broadly affects mitochondrial and glycolytic metabolism in CD4+ T cells and results in diminished T cell function and differentation. In this array, we assessed the contribution of ERRa to changes in gene expression in resting and stimulated CD4+ T cells with the goal of identifying specific metabolic genes that exhibit altered expression in the presence or absence of ERRa. Please see related publication: Michalek, et al. PNAS 2011. CD4+ T cells from 6-8 week old mice were negatively selected (Miltenyi), resulting in >95% purity and cultured in RPMI 1640 (Mediatech) with 10% FBS (Gemini Bio-Products). Wild-type (WT) and ERRa−/− (ERRKO) CD4+ T cells were harvested directly ex vivo or stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 12 h in the presence or absence of the pharmacological inhibtors of ERRa XCT790 and Compound A. RNA was harvested using the RNeasy Plus kit from Qiagen.The microarray was prepared and analyzed by the Duke Microarray Facility using Ambion Message Amp Premier labeling and Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430A 2.0. Each assay contains three independent biologic replicates.

Project description:Astrocytes are taking the center stage in neurotrauma and neurological disease as they appear to play a dominant role in the inflammatory processes associated with these conditions. Previously, we reported that inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) activation in astrocytes, by using a transgenic mouse model (GFAP-IκBα-dn mice), results in improved functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI), with increased white matter preservation and axonal sparing. In the present study we sought to determine whether this improvement, due to inhibiting NF-k-B activation in astrocytes, could be the result of enhanced oligogenesis in our GFAP-IκBα-dn mice. To gain insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed microarray analysis in naïve and 3 days, 3 and 6 weeks following SCI in GFAP-IκBα-dn and wild type (WT) littermate mice. Surprisingly, we found the largest number of genes differentially regulated between GFAP-IκBα-dn and WT mice 6 weeks post-injury. Interestingly, the data suggested that inhibiting astroglial NF-kB alters the inflammatory environment to support oligogenesis. Furthermore, confirmation of microarray data with qPCR and western blotting analysis and using BrdU labeling along with cell specific immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy and quantitative cell counts, we demonstrate a significant increase in oligogenesis in GFAP-IκBα-dn following SCI. These studies suggest that therapeutic strategies targeting NF-kB activation in the CNS following SCI may promote oligogenesis and remyelination. Wild type (WT) mice - time points naïve, 3 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks. Transgenic mice (TG) - time points naïve, 3 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks.

Project description:To identify candidate genes that may be involved in motoneuron degeneration, we combined laser capture microdissection with microarray technology. Gene expression in motoneurons was analyzed during the progression of the disease in transgenic SOD1(G93A) mice that develop motoneuron loss. Three major observations were made : first, there was only a small number of genes that were differentially expressed in motoneurons at a pre-symptomatic age (27 out of 34,000 transcripts). Secondly, there is an early specific up-regulation of the gene coding for the intermediate filament vimentin that is increased even further during disease progression. Using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis, we show that vimentin expression was not only elevated in motoneurons but that the protein formed inclusions in the motoneuron cytoplasm. Thirdly, a time-course analysis of the motoneurons at a symptomatic age (90 and 120 days) showed a modest de-regulation of only a few genes associated with cell death pathways; however, a massive up-regulation of genes involved in cell growth and/or maintenance was observed. This is the first description of the gene profile of SOD1(G93A) motoneurons during disease progression and unexpectedly, no widespread induction of cell death-associated genes was detected in motoneurons of SOD1(G93A) mice.

Project description:Transcriptional dysregulation is an important early feature of polyglutamine diseases. One of its proposed causes is defective neuronal histone acetylation, but important aspects of this hypothesis, such as the precise genomic topography of acetylation deficits and the relationship between transcriptional and acetylation alterations at the whole-genome level, remain unknown. We examined here the genome-wide correlation of histone acetylation and gene expression defects in a mouse model of early-onset Huntington’s disease. Hippocampi and cerebella were dissected from 10- and 20-weeks old transgenic mice alongside with wild-type littermates. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix MoGene 1.0 ST arrays. One array consisted on a pool of 3-4 RNA samples and three arrays were used per condition (genotype-tissue-age). This is the gene expression component of the study only.
