Expression analysis of S. cerevisiae cth2 cth1 and cth1 deletion strains upon oxidative stress treatment

ABSTRACT: We studied the change in expression induced as a response to tert-butyl hydroperoxide treatment in both a cth2delta cth1delta double mutant strain and a cth1delta single mutant strain. Samples were taken at 45 and 90 min after addition of the oxidant. RNA from each sample was used to make labelled cDNA and hybridized (two-color microarray) together with a reference sample from the same culture taken just before adding the oxidant. Comparison of both strains allows an assessment of the contribution of CTH2 to the response.

Project description:The activities of the dithiolethione analogs, D3T, OLT, and TBD are pharmacologically well-understood. These compounds act as chemopreventive agents whose ability is to block or diminish early stages of carcinogenesis. In addition, the three compounds are classified as monofunctional Phase II enzyme inducers and activate the same pathway, namely the Keap1-Nrf2 signal pathway. The three dithiolethiones were showed to ameliorate the AFB1-induced toxicity through increasing phase II enzymes including glutathione S-transferase (GST). The parent D3T was observed to be the most potent chemoprotective agent. Oltipraz, a clinically approved drug, has been shown to exhibit less efficacy than its analogs for inhibition of aflatoxin-induced hepatic foci.TBD was suggested to be better than OLT as a chemopreventive agent because of its reduced toxicity profile. Thus based on gene expressions, our goal is to study the closely related structure activities that lie within the three compounds and the activity of OLT versus TBD at the 5 position of their dithiole rings and to determine whether the activity of TBD is closely related to OLT or its parent D3T. Experiment Overall Design: Male Fischer F344 rats (80-100g) were obtained from Harlan at 6 wk of age. General procedures for animal care and housing were in accordance with the Guide for the Care and use of Laboratory Animals, National Research Council, 1996. The animals were singly housed in polycarbonate cages in a temperature (22 ± 1°C)- and humidity (30-70%)-controlled room with a 14:10-h light-dark cycle, respectively. Rat AIN 76A chow (Harlan Teklad) and tap water were provided at libitum. Sixteen animals were randomly assigned into four groups (n=16) and treated by gavage with 100?l of either vehicle (saturated sucrose), 3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (D3T), (0.3 mmol/kg body wt), 4-methyl-5-pyrazinyl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (oltipraz-OLT), (0.3 mmol/kg), and 5-tert-butyl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (TBD) , (0.3mmol/kg body wt), once every other day for 5 days. Animals were killed 24h after the third dose. Liver tissues were harvested and snap frozen. The protocol for this study was approved by the University of Memphis Animal Care Committee and Johns Hopkins University.

Project description:We identified a novel paralog of the antioxidant response element transcription factor, Nrf2 in zebrafish. To determine whether the paralogs Nrf2a and Nrf2b regulate different sets of genes, we performed loss-of-function experiments followed by microarray-based gene expression profiling, performed on embryos in which expression of Nrf2a, Nrf2b, or both paralogs was knocked down. Embryos at the 1-4 cell stage were injected with 3-5 nl of a control morpholino (MO) or gene-specific MO to knockdown Nrf2a, Nrf2b, or a Nrf2a+b combination. At 48 hpf, triplicate groups of 5 embryos were exposed to 2 M-BM-5M of tert butyl hydroquinone or 2% DSMO for 4 hours. At 52 hpf, embryos were fixed in RNA Later and stored at -80M-BM-0C. RNA was extracted, bioanalyzed, labeled with Cy3 and hybridized to the Agilent V3 4x44K zebrafish microarray (cat. #G2519F-026437) at the Genome Technology Core of the Whitehead Institute (Cambridge, MA). Raw array data obtained from the Whitehead Institute were extracted using Agilent's feature extraction software using background detrending (spatial and multiplicative).Prior to normalization, Cy3 values below 5 were set to 5. The data were then normalized using the non-linear scaling method based on rank invariant probes. After normalization but before statistical analyses, probes not significantly above background in all microarrays were removed (3147 probes in all; based on AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys 2.6 standard deviation method). None of the probes were saturated for Cy3 signal on any microarray, so no further filtering was applied. There were a total of 40,456 probes for statistical analyses. Statistical tests were performed using MeV v4. Data were log transformed and median centered for each probe. An ANOVA was run for morpholino injection, with p-value based on 1000 permutations of the data and alpha of 0.01. The probes found significant in the ANOVA were subsequently examined using Rank Product (RP) analysis to identify probes up- and down-regulated by the MO injection For each RP test, a two-class unpaired RP analysis was performed using 100 permutations of the data with a false discovery rate (FDR) M-bM-^IM-$10%.
