Project description:To analyze Gq-receptor hypertrophic transcriptional profiles, 10 to 11 week old FVB/NJ mice were dosed at 30 mg/kg/day for phenylephrine and 0.5 mg/kg/day for angiotensin II using implanted micro-osmotic pumps (Alzet, model 1002) for 72 hours. Total RNA was harvested from isolated myocytes using RNeasy Fibrous Tissue Mini Kit (Qiagen), following manufacturer’s instructions. Using total RNA as input, rRNA was removed via oligo-dT purification to enrich for mRNA, followed by random-primed reverse-transcription, second-strand cDNA synthesis, ligation of indexed adaptors for Illumina sequencing, and subsequent library creation from the resulting double-stranded DNA. 125 base pair paired end stranded RNA Sequencing was performed by the University of Minnesota Genomics Core using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 resulting in 10-20 million reads per sample.

Project description:20-Hydroxyecdysone (20E) is the most abundant phytoecdysteroid produced by several plant families and has been attributed with numerous pharmacological properties in animals including anabolic and immune modulating effects. However, the in vivo bioactivity of phytoecdysteroids in mammals remains ambiguous, and moreover, the mechanism of action in mammals has yet to be determined. In this study, the physiological and gene expression effects of 20E were analyzed in C57BL/6 mice given a continuous infusion of saline or 20E (5 mg/kg/day) for five or fifteen days using subcutaneously implanted Alzet® osmotic pumps. The weights of the total body, muscle groups and organs were recorded and carcass composition was determined to evaluate changes in nutrient partitioning. There was a significant increase (p = 0.01) in the weight of triceps brachii in mice treated with 20E for five days (115 +/- 8 mg) compared to mice treated with saline for five days (88 +/- 3 mg), however, there were no differences in the other measured parameters. To determine potential mechanisms of action of 20E in skeletal muscle, Illumina’s Mouse Whole Genome-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChips were used to evaluate changes in gene expression after 20E infusion. False Discovery Rate correction of microarray data did not reveal any beadtypes that were differentially expressed. Therefore, Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) was used to identify genes with the most evidence for differential expression in the context of biological functions and pathways. IPA provided evidence for 20E involvement in processes including cellular growth and proliferation and cell-to-cell signaling and interaction. Overall, the data suggests that 20E does not have potent anabolic properties. IPA identified potential lead biological processes and pathways of 20E. Total RNA was extracted from the triceps brachii of C57BL/6 mice given a continuous infusion of saline or 20E (5 mg/kg/day) for 5 or 15 days using subcutaneously implanted Alzet® osmotic pumps to evaluate gene expression effects of 20E on mouse muscle.

Project description:Objective: L-type calcium channels (LTCC) homeostatically regulate calcium on a beat by beat basis, but also provide Ca that over long time scales may contribute to transcriptional regulation. We previously showed that sustained LTCC blockade (CCB) elicits LTCC remodeling in ventricular cardiac myocytes (CM). Here we hypothesize that sustained CCB has broad effects on the expression of genes involved in calcium handling. Methods and Results: Therefore, we subjected adult mice to sustained CCB for 24 hours and performed gene expression profiling. In comparison to vehicle-only control animals, 231 genes were up-regulated, and 111 genes were down-regulated by sustained LTCC blockade (p <0.01). Gene ontology analysis suggested that the CaMKIIdelta signaling pathway was up-regulated in these cells. Unexpectedly, phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLN) at threonine17 (Thr17), an index of CaMKIIdelta activity, was not changed by sustained CCB; however, the degree of phosphorylation of the neighboring PLN-Ser16 substrate site for PKA was significantly reduced by sustained CCB compared to control. Gene expression profiling suggested no change in PKA, but it showed that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) mRNA increased, and immunoblots demonstrated that PP2Ac-alpha protein was significantly increased by sustained CCB. Consistent with elevated PP2Ac-alpha protein expression LTCC exhibited decreased phosphorylation of the C-terminal Ser1928 PKA substrate site. Conclusions: We conclude that sustained CCB elicits a spectrum of transcriptional events, including compensatory up-regulation of LTCC and PP2Ac-alpha. Although this study is restricted to mouse, these results suggest the new hypothesis that clinically-relevant sustained LTCC blockade in humans results in changes in gene regulation in the heart. Keywords: L-type calcium channel, calcium channel blockade, verapamil Female and male ICR mice (12-14 weeks age) weighing between 25 and 30 grams were anesthetized with a ketamine/xylazine mixture ( i.p.) allowing the subcutaneous implantation of miniosmotic pumps (Alzet, model 2001). The pumps were filled with either verapamil or vehicle (0.02% ascorbic acid). Control animals carried mini-pumps with vehicle and control animals were investigated in parallel with each set of experimental animals. Mini pumps delivered verapamil at 3.6 mg/kg/day for 24 (RNA)-48 (protein) hours. After treatment animals were anesthetized and weighed. Hearts were excised, rinsed, blotted dry, weighed, and then frozen on dry ice and the stored at -80oC until studied. Animals were anesthetized and euthanized according to animal protocols approved by the University of Kentucky Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. This investigation conforms with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH Publication NO. 85-23, revised 1996). Left ventricular free wall from female mice was rapidly excised and either snap frozen at -80oC or used immediately for RNA isolation. Three VER treated mice and 3 vehicle treated mice were used to generate RNA for microarray. Total RNA was isolated using the RNAqueous -4PCR kit (Ambion) and quantitated spectrophotometrically at 260nm. Contaminating genomic DNA was eliminated by DNase treatment (Ambion). RNA quality was assessed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Microarray data was obtained using the Affymetrix 430 V2 GeneChip (representing 45,101 probe sets), in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

Project description:Hepatic fibrosis, the wound-healing response to repeated liver injury, ultimately leads to cirrhosis. There is an urgent need to develop effective antifibrotic therapies. Ghrelin (encoded by Ghrl) is an orexigenic hormone that has pleiotrophic functions including protection against cell death1. Here we investigate whether ghrelin modulates liver fibrosis and protects from acute liver injury. Recombinant ghrelin reduced the fibrogenic response to prolonged bile duct ligation in rats. This effect was associated with decreased liver injury and myofibroblast accumulation as well as attenuation of the altered gene expression profile. Ghrelin also reduced fibrogenic properties in cultured hepatic stellate cells. Moreover, Ghrl-/- mice developed exacerbated hepatic fibrosis and liver damage after chronic injury. Ghrelin also protected rat livers from acute liver injury and reduced the extent of oxidative stress and the inflammatory response. In patients with chronic liver diseases, ghrelin serum levels decreased in those with advanced fibrosis and hepatic expression of the ghrelin gene correlated with expression of fibrogenic genes. Finally, in patients with chronic hepatitis C, single nucleotide polymorphisms of the ghrelin gene (-994CT and â604GA) influenced the progression of liver fibrosis. We conclude that ghrelin exerts antifibrotic effects on the liver and may represent a novel antifibrotic therapy. Experiment Overall Design: Rats were divided into three groups: control rats receiving saline (sham operation), rats with bile duct ligation receiving saline and rats with bile duct ligation receiving recombinant ghrelin (10 micrograms/Kg/day by a subcutaneous osmotic mimi-pump). For the microarray analysis samples from 6 rats were analyzed except for the ghrelin-treated group (5 rats).

Project description:Ghrelin, an orexigenic gut-derived peptide, is gaining increasing attention due to its multifaceted role in a number of physiological functions, including metabolism, cardiovascular health, stress and reproduction. Ghrelin exists in circulation primarily as des-acylated and acylated ghrelin. Des-acyl ghrelin, until recently considered to be an inactive form ghrelin, is now known to have independent physiological functionality. However, the relative contribution of acyl and des-acyl ghrelin to reproductive development and function is currently unknown. Here we used ghrelin-O-acyltransferase (GOAT) knockout (KO) mice that have no measurable levels of endogenous acyl ghrelin and chronically high levels of des-acyl ghrelin, to characterise how the developmental and life-long absence of acyl ghrelin affects ovarian development and reproductive capacity. We have combined ovarian transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing with measures of ovarian morphometry, as well as with the assessment of markers of reproductive maturity and the capacity to breed. Our data show pronounced specific changes in the ovarian transcriptome in the juvenile GOAT KO ovary, indicative of advanced ovarian development. These changes corresponded with diminished ovarian reserve in the juvenile and adult ovaries of these mice, due to a continuous reduction in the number of small follicle populations. These changes did not affect the timing of puberty onset or reproductive capacity under optimal conditions. These data suggest that an absence of acyl ghrelin does not prevent reproductive success but that appropriate levels of acyl and des-acyl ghrelin may be necessary for optimal ovarian maturation.

Project description:To test the mechanism by which IGF1 is cardioprotective, we performed single cell RNA sequencing on myeloid cells isolated from the heart 3 days after myocardial infarction of mice with and without IGF1 treatment. Myocardial infarction was induced in C57Bl6/J mice by 45 min occlusion of the left anterior descending artery followed by 3 days of reperfusion. Animals of the IGF1 group (n=3) received 40 ng/g mature recombinant IGF1 subcutaneously as bolus at the beginning of reperfusion. In addition, IGF1 (1 µg/g/d) was administered continuously during reperfusion using micro-osmotic pumps (Alzet, 1003D) that were implanted subcutaneously. Control mice received vehicle (0.1% BSA). After 3 days hearts were digested and CD45+CD11b+ cells were isolated using FACS cell sorting. Each sample contained cells containing 1 control and 1 IGF1 treated mouse, labeled with TotalSeq hashtags. 16000 cells were used as input for the single-cell droplet libraries generation for each sample.
