Project description:How retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells degenerate from oxidative stress in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is incompletely understood. The study's intent was to identify key cytoprotective pathways activated by oxidative stress, and to determine the extent of their protection. Immunohistochemistry was used to identify the unfolded protein response (UPR) and mitochondria in the RPE of AMD samples. Maculas with early AMD had prominent IRE1α, but minimal mitochondrial TOM20 immunolabeling in mildly degenerated RPE. RPE cells treated with cigarette smoke extract (CSE), by microarray analysis, had over-represented genes involved in the antioxidant and unfolded protein response, and mitochondrial location. CSE induced the UPR sensors IRE1α, p-PERK, and ATP6, which activated CHOP. CHOP knockdown compromised cell viability after CSE exposure. At the same CSE doses, mitochondria generated superoxide anion and produced less ATP. In mice given intravitreal CSE, the RPE had increased IRE1α and decreased ATP, which elicited RPE epithelial-mesenchymal transition, as suggested by altered ZO1 immunolabeling of RPE flatmounts. Our experiments indicate that RPE cells exposed to oxidative stress respond with a cytoprotective antioxidant and unfolded protein response, but develop mitochondrial impairment that contributed to epithelial mesenchymal transition. With similar responses in the RPE of early AMD samples, these results suggest that mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative stress while the ER elicits a protective response during early AMD. A total of 9 samples were analyzed: 3 control samples, 3 samples treated with 100ug/ml of Cigarette Smoke Condensate, and 3 samples treated with 250ug/ml of Cigarettes Smoke Condensate.

Project description:LDL or Ox-LDL 200ug/ml, which showed no loss of viability after a 48 hour exposure, induced a physiological and pathological transcriptional response, respectively. LDL induced a downregulation of genes associated with cholesterol biosynthesis while ox-LDL induced transcriptional alterations in genes related to inflammation, matrix expansion, lipid metabolism and processing, and apoptosis. Pentraxin-3 was secreted into the culture medium after RPE cells were stimulated with ox-LDL, and immunohistochemically evident in Bruchs membrane of human macular samples with age-related macular degeneration. ARPE-19 cells exposed to 200ug/ml ox-LDL had a 38% apoptosis rate compared to less than 1% when exposed to LDL or untreated controls (p<0.0001). While LDL induced a physiologic response by RPE cells, a pathological phenotypic response was seen after treatment with oxidatively modified LDL. The transcriptional, biochemical, and functional data provide initial support of a role for the hypothesis that modified LDLs are one trigger for initiating events that contribute to the development of age-related macular degeneration. Keywords: treatment with non-treatment control Human ARPE-19 cells were exposed to LDL or oxidatively modified LDL (ox-LDL) for 48 hours for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to determine whether retina, pigment epithelial cells develop a pathologic phenotype after exposure to low density lipoproteins (LDL) that are oxidatively modified.We have made two comparsions: LDL treatment versus non-treatment; ox-LDL treatment versus non-treatment.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a highly contagious and prevalent human pathogen that causes many diseases, including encephalitis. During primary infection, HSV-1 infects epithelial cells and then neurites of peripheral neurons, establishing lifelong infection in the neuronal cell body. Neurites are highly dynamic structures that grow or retract in the presence of attractive or repulsive cues, respectively. Whether HSV-1 modulates these cues and thereby neurite outgrowth was not known. Here, we show that HSV-1 glycoprotein G (gG) reduces the inhibitory effect of epithelial cells on neurite outgrowth, facilitating viral infection of neurons through neurite ends. The mechanism of action involves the modification of the protein composition of extracellular vesicles (EV), including increased amount of galectin-1. We show that galectin-1 located in EV produced during HSV-1 infection of epithelial cells promotes neurite outgrowth, and this activity can be partially neutralized by antibodies. This study provides new insights into the neurotropism of HSV-1, identifying for the first time a viral protein that modifies the protein composition of EV to increase neurite outgrowth and neuronal infection.

Project description:The exact molecular mechanisms by which PTGFRN influences cancer progression are still unknown. Our laboratory set out to investigate how PTGFRN knockdown affected the expression of other proteins. We also carried out co-immunoprecipitation experiments using a monoclonal anti-PTGFRN antibody. We employed mass spectrometry-based proteomics for both experiments to identify proteins that were associated with PTGFRN.

Project description:One of the major biological functions accomplished by the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) is the clearance of shed photoreceptor outer segments (POS) through a multistep process referred to as phagocytosis. Phagocytosis helps maintain the viability of photoreceptors which otherwise could succumb to the high metabolic flux and photo-oxidative stress associated with visual processing. Regulatory mechanisms underlying phagocytosis in the RPE are not fully understood, although dysfunction of this process contributes to the pathogenesis of multiple human retinal degenerative disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here we present an integrated analysis of phagocytosing ARPE19 cells.

Project description:To unravel the potential cooperative roles of oxygen-regulated signaling pathways; von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor protein and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factors, we have generated mutant mice with; Vhlh, Vhlh/Hif1α, Vhlh/Hif2α and Vhlh/Hif1α/Hif2α gene alleles floxed. Subsequently primary kidney cells were isolated, cultured and infected with Adenoviruses bearing either Cre/GFP or GFP expression only. Agilent cDNA microarrays were utilized to compare the gene expression profiles of the kidney epithelial cells from aforementioned cell cultures to gain insight about the molecules and signaling pathways that drive aberrant cellular proliferation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). 24 independent biological samples from 4 genetic experimental conditions were hybridized in two- color format on 13 Mouse GE 4x44K v2 Microarray Kit (Design ID 026655) arrays. Eventual dye specific hybridization effects were controlled with dye swap on biological replicates. For an each experimental condition 3 arrays were use, except of one where 4 arrays were used (one sample combination in repetition with a dye swap). For the final analysis the gene expression levels were dye effect corrected and values for biological replicates were averaged to obtain a matrix with gene expression levels for 4 independent biological (1. Vhlh-/-, 2. Vhlh-/-/Hif1α-/-, 3. Vhlh-/-/Hif2α-/- and 4. Vhlh-/-/Hif1α-/-/Hif2α-/-) conditions.

Project description:Critically short telomeres activate p53-mediated apoptosis, resulting in organ failure and causing malignant transformation. Mutations in genes responsible for telomere maintenance are linked to a number of specific human diseases. We derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients with mutations in the TERT and TERC telomerase genes. Telomerase-mutant iPSCs elongated telomeres, but at a lower rate than healthy iPSCs, and the magnitude of the elongation deficit correlated with the specific mutation’s impact on telomerase activity. However, elongation significantly varied among iPSC clones harboring the same mutation, and was affected by genetic and environmental factors. iPSCs cultured in hypoxia showed increased telomere length. Potential influence of residual expression of reprogramming factors on telomerase regulation and telomere length was ruled out by excising the transgenes after successful reprogramming. Evidence for telomerase-independent telomere elongation was not observed in these cells. We demonstrate that telomerase is required for telomere elongation in iPSCs and uncover heterogeneity in telomere maintenance even between clones derived from individual patients or siblings with the same mutation, indicating that telomere phenotype may be influenced by acquired and environmental agents. Our data underscore the necessity of studying multiple clones when using iPSCs to model disease. The exon array were done to validate the pluripotent phenotype of the derived normal and telomerase mutant iPSC and to potentially identify differentially expressed genes in mutant iPSC. Objective: confirming pluripotency by comparing telomerase mutated-, control-iPSC to human ESC and to their parental somatic cells (fibroblast used for iPSC derivation) 20 samples total, 5 different fibroblast cells, 13 iPSC lines, 1 ES line (H1) from different passages
