Project description:Analysis of Gene Expression in PTHrP-/- Mammary Buds Supports a Role for BMP Signaling and MMP2 in the Initiation of Ductal Morphogenesis. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) acts on the mammary mesenchyme and is required for proper embryonic mammary development. In order to understand PTHrP’s effects on mesenchymal cells, we profiled gene expression in WT and PTHrP-/- mammary buds, and in WT and K14-PTHrP ventral skin, at E15.5. By cross-referencing the differences in gene expression between these groups, we identified 35 genes potentially regulated by PTHrP in the mammary mesenchyme, including 6 genes known to be involved in BMP signaling. One of these genes was MMP2. We demonstrated that PTHrP and BMP4 regulate MMP2 gene expression and MMP2 activity in mesenchymal cells. Using mammary bud cultures, we demonstrated that MMP2 acts downstream of PTHrP to stimulate ductal outgrowth. Future studies on the functional role of other genes on this list should expand our knowledge of how PTHrP signaling triggers the onset of ductal outgrowth from the embryonic mammary buds. Five experimental groups (WT mammary buds, PTHrP-/- mammary buds, WT ventral skin, K14WT ventral skin, K14-PTHrP ventral skin). Three replicates in each group. Differentially expressed genes are listed in the following supplementary files: GSE17654_List1a-Higher_in_KO_Buds_than_WT_Buds.txt GSE17654_List1b-Lower_in_KO_Buds_than_WT_Buds.txt GSE17654_List2a-Higher_in_WT_Skin_than_WT_Buds.txt GSE17654_List2b-Lower_in_WT_Skin_than_WT_Buds.txt

Project description:Global analysis of transcriptional changes in Drosophila park25 (parkin) and pink1 (Pink1) mutants. PARKIN and PINK1 are part of the organellar and molecular mitochondrial quality control and loss-of-function mutations have been identified as familial causes of Parkinson's disease. Young and old flies were used to identify changes in expression patterns during aging. Heads or whole flies were used to identify neuron-specific transcriptional changes that may be relevant to PD.

Project description:This study aims to identify the proteomic targets of THC in the early postnatal hippocampus of developing mice. Therefore, early postnatal C57Bl/6 mice (P5) were exposed daily and for 30 days to plant extracted THC (either 1 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg) or vehicle solution (saline with 3% Tween® 80) for the control group. All animals stayed with their mothers until P25 and after the initial drug exposure time (until P35) animals were given a drug-free resting period. The animals were sacrificed, and their hippocampus was dissected and prepared for the following proteomic analysis at either P48 or after an extended resting period at P120. We found 31 proteins to be changed after THC exposure compared to vehicle at P48 and 186 proteins showing modifications at P120. Gene ontology classification of protein targets revealed a substantial amount of proteins involved in metabolic processes of neurons after THC exposure. The results highlight the vulnerability of the developing hippocampus towards THC exposure and identify the mitochondrial as well as other cell metabolic processes as potential drug targets.

Project description:Purpose:To help identify molecular mechanisms and pathways potentially involved in the developmental toxicity for fish exposed to Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil, transcriptomic profiles in mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) embryos exposed to different DWH oils (source and artificially weathered oil) were evaluated at different critical windows of development using High Throughput Sequencing (HTS). Methods:Total mRNA profiles of 24, 48, 96 hpf mahi-mahi larvae after slick and source oil exposure were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2500. qRTâPCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: Exposure to slick oil induced more pronounced changes in gene expression over time than did exposure to source oil. Predominant transcriptomic responses included alteration of E1F2 signaling, steroid biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis, perturbation in eye development and peripheral nervous, and activation of P450 pathway. Comparisons of changes of cardiac / Ca2+-associated genes with phenotypic responses revealed reduced heart rate and increased pericardial edema in larvae exposed to slick oil but not source oil. Total mRNA profiles of 24, 48, 96 hpf mahi-mahi larvae after slick and source (mass) oil exposure were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2500.

Project description:The observation that animal morphology tends to be conserved during the embryonic phylotypic period led to the proposition that embryogenesis diverges more extensively early and late than in the middle, known as the hourglass model. This pattern of conservation is thought to reflect a major constraint on the evolution of animal body plans. Despite a wealth of morphological data confirming that there is often remarkable divergence in the early and late embryos of species from the same phylum, it is not yet known to what extent gene expression evolution, which plays a central role in the elaboration of different animal forms, underpins the morphological hourglass. Here we address this question using species-specific microarrays designed from six sequenced Drosophila species. Although it is generally appreciated that gene expression divergence plays a key role in the evolution of morphological diversity, no studies to date have addressed the extent to which expression divergence underpins the hourglass pattern at the genome-wide level. We test the molecular basis of the hourglass model of developmental evolution using gene expression data from six Drosophila species with sequenced genomes (D. ananassae, D. melanogaster, D. persimilis, D. pseudoobscura, D. simulans, and D. virilis) thereby enabling unambiguous quantitative comparisons across orthologous genes for a set of species separated by up to 40 million years. Gene expression levels were measured for 3019 genes, known to be expressed during embryonic development from RNA in situ data, at 2 hour intervals for the majority of embryogenesis using a microarray time-course with three biological replicates per species and four species-specific probes per gene.

Project description:Proteome profiling was performed to investigate changes at a molecular level in the mouse corneal endothelium (CE) along with the basement membrane exposed to cigarette smoke (CS). Pregnant mice (gestation days 18-20) were placed in a whole-body exposure smoking chamber and a few days later pups were born. After 3½ months of CS exposure, the Confoscan4 scanning microscope was used to examine the CE of CS-exposed and control (Ct) mice. The CE was peeled under a microscope and maintained as four biological replicates (two male and two female) for CS-exposed and Ct mice; each replicate consisted of 16 CE. The proteome of the CE was investigated through mass-spectrometry using 8-plex isobaric tandem mass tags (TMT). The CE images of CS-exposed and Ct mice revealed a difference in the shape of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) accompanied by a nearly 10% decrease in CEC density (p = 3.0e-0.5) resulting from exposure to CS. The proteome profiling identified a total of 524 proteins exhibiting statistically significant changes in CE from CS-exposed and Ct mice. Importantly, proteins known to be an integral part of the basement membrane including COL4α1, COL4α2, COL4α3, COL4α4, COL4α5, and COL4α6, Col8α1, Col8α2, FN1, etc. exhibited diminished protein levels in the CE of CS-exposed mice. Here, we report the effects of CS on the CE, and our data strongly suggest that CS exposure results in reduced CEC density and diminished concentration of proteins known to be an integral part of the basement membrane.

Project description:Rodents are commonly housed below thermoneutrality (~20°C) 1. Under these conditions there is a substantial effect on rodent physiology including the hyperactivation of brown (BAT) and beige adipose tissue 2. Here, we raised animals from weaning, on an obesogenic diet at thermoneutrality (28°C) to closer mimic human physiology and determine the impact of a) moderate cold exposure (i.e. 20°C, a temperature reduction of ~8°C) or b) treatment with YM-178, a highly-selective, clinically used β3-adrenoreceptor agonist on classical BAT or subcutaneous inguinal (IWAT) beige depots. Under these conditions, uncoupling protein 1 mRNA was undetectable in IWAT in all groups. Maintenance at 20°C drove weight gain and a 125% increase in subcutaneous fat, an effect not seen with YM-178 administration thus suggesting a direct effect of ambient temperature in promoting weight gain and adiposity in obese rats. Using exploratory adipose tissue proteomics we reveal novel processes and pathways associated with cold-induced weight gain in BAT (i.e. histone deacetylation and glycosphingolipid biosynthesis) and IWAT (i.e. NAD+ binding and retinol metabolism). Conversely, YM-178 had minimal metabolic-related effects on BAT and drove a pro-inflammatory phenotype in IWAT. Exercise training elicits diverse effects on brown (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT) physiology in rodents housed below their thermoneutral zone (i.e. 28-32°C). In these conditions, BAT is chronically hyperactive and, unlike human residence, closer to thermoneutrality. Therefore, we set out to determine the effects of exercise training in obese animals at 28°C (i.e. thermoneutrality) on BAT and WAT in its basal (i.e. inactive) state. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=12) were housed at thermoneutrality from 3 weeks of age and fed a high-fat diet. At 12 weeks of age half these animals were randomised to 4-weeks of swim-training (1 hour/day, 5 days per week). Following a metabolic assessment interscapular and perivascular BAT and inguinal (I)WAT were taken for analysis of thermogenic genes and the proteome. Exercise attenuated weight gain but did not affect total fat mass or thermogenic gene expression. Proteomics revealed an impact of exercise training on2-oxoglutarate metabolic process, mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV, carbon metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. This was accompanied by an upregulation of multiple proteins involved in skeletal muscle physiology suggesting an adipocyte to myocyte switch in BAT. UCP1 mRNA was undetectable in IWAT with proteomics highlighting changes to DNA binding, the positive regulation of apoptosis, HIF-1 signalling and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.
