Project description:Pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups. Dams were then housed individually and fed throughout gestation a 22 % protein diet, representing the control group (C, n=5), or an 9% isocaloric protein diet, representing the low-protein (LP, n=6). Both diets were isocaloric, because the protein deficiency in the LP diet was compensated by the addition of carbohydrates. Feeding of LP diet began on the day of conception and continuing throughout pregnancy. The low-protien diet resulted in Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) of the fetuses.<br><br> An additional processed data file, E-MEXP-1015_all_norm_calls.txt, is available for download from <a href="ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/microarray/data/experiment/MEXP/E-MEXP-1015/">ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/microarray/data/experiment/MEXP/E-MEXP-1015/</a>

Project description:We have previously shown that during lactation, osteocytes directly remodel their perilacunar and pericanalicular matrix, thereby mobilizing calcium and contributing to maternal bone loss. To identify genes potentially responsible for perilacunar remodeling, microarray analysis was performed on osteocytes from CD-1 virgin and lactating mice and mice sacrificed on day 7 post weaning. By comparing how gene expression changes in osteocytes among virgin, lactation and post lactation, the goal is to identify the genes osteocytes use to remodel their perilacunar matrix To identify genes responsible for perilacunar remodeling, microarray analysis was performed on tibiae from CD-1 virgin and lactating mice and mice sacrificed on day 7 post weaning. Periosteum and bone marrow were removed from the tibiae and the bone fragments underwent sequential collagenase/trypsin digestion and were examined histologically to ensure removal of all surface cells and confirm osteocyte enrichment prior to RNA extraction. Microarray Affy M430 arrays, n=3 per group were performed and Genepattern and Bioconductor were used to analyse the microdata.

Project description:Poor parental health can influence the development and eventual health outcomes of their offspring. Many studies have detailed the maternal role yet a father’s health requires further examination as his poor nutritional status has also been shown to have negative consequences on fetal development and impact the long-term health of his offspring. The present study examined how preimplantation embryo development was altered by sub-optimal paternal diet, with specific focus on sperm- and seminal plasma-mediated mechanisms. To address this, male mice were fed a diet to model either under (low protein diet (LPD)) or over (high fat/sugar ‘Western’ diet (WD)) nutrition, LPD or WD supplemented with methyl-donors or a control diet (CD) before mating. Embryo development was assessed using in vitro time-lapse imaging of preimplantation embryos which revealed a significant increase in embryo development rates in all experimental groups when compared to CD embryos. Further analysis of the semen revealed a significant number of differentially expressed seminal plasma proteins in all groups (LPD: 13, MD-LPD: 27, WD: 24, MD-WD: 19) when compared to control. This study highlights a role for paternal nutritional status influencing embryonic development and the maternal reproductive tract via changes to his metabolic and reproductive health. These findings demonstrate potential direct (sperm-mediated) and indirect (seminal plasma-mediated) pathways in which a father's poor diet could shape the long-term health of his offspring

Project description:Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential precursor for the production of retinoic acid (RA), which in turn is a major regulator of gene expression, affecting cell differentiation throughout the body. Understanding how vitamin A nutritional status, as well as therapeutic retinoid treatment, regulates the expression of retinoid homeostatic genes is important for improving dietary recommendations and therapeutic strategies using retinoids. This study investigated genes central to processes of retinoid uptake and storage, release to plasma, and oxidation in the liver of rats under steady-state conditions after different exposures to dietary vitamin A (deficient, marginal, adequate and supplemented), and acutely after administration of a therapeutic dose of all-trans-RA. Over a very wide range of dietary vitamin A, lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) as well as multiple cytochrome P450s (CYP26A1, CYP26B1, and CYP2C22) differed by diet and were highly correlated with one another and with vitamin A status assessed by liver retinol concentration (all correlations, P<0.05). After acute treatment with RA, the same genes were rapidly and concomitantly induced, preceding RARß, a classical direct target of RA. CYP26A1 mRNA exhibited the greatest dynamic range (change of log26 in 3 h). Moreover, CYP26A1 increased more rapidly in the liver of RA-primed rats than naïve rats. By in situ hybridization, CYP26A1 mRNA was strongly regulated within hepatocytes, closely resembling RBP4 in location. Overall, whether RA is produced endogenously from retinol or administered exogenously, changes in retinoid homeostatic gene expression simultaneously favor both retinol esterification and RA oxidation, with CYP26A1 exhibiting the greatest dynamic change. All rats were housed in a room maintained at 22°C with a 12-h dark:light cycle, and food and water were freely available. For the Steady-State Vitamin A Study (experiment 1) and the Retinoic Acid 16-hour Kinetic Study (experiment 2), lactating female Sprague-Dawley rats with 12 female pups (purchased from Charles River Laboratories, Willmington, MA) were fed a vitamin A-deficient purified diet [AIN-93G diet, prepared by Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ] to reduce the transfer of vitamin A in milk from mother to pups prior to the start of the study. For experiment 1, from weaning, the offspring were fed the same diet modified to contain vitamin A at one of four levels: 0 (vitamin A deficient), 0.4 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A marginal), 4 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A adequate control), or 100 mg retinol/kg diet (vitamin A supplemented). All rats were studied at 8 weeks of age. Rats were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and blood and liver were collected rapidly and frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C before analysis. In experiment 2, at 8 weeks of age female vitamin A-deficient rats were treated with ~100 ug of All-trans-Retinoic acid (at-RA) for 0 (vehicle only), 3, 6, 10 or 16 h (n=3-4/group). Tissues were collected and RNA was prepared in the same manner as in experiment 1. In the 90-minute "first pass" kinetic study (experiment 3), female rats were purchased at 6 weeks of age and fed a stock rodent diet. When the rats were 8 weeks old they were assigned to a control (naïve) group. Rats in the naive group received an equal amount of vehicle only (vegetable oil/5% ethanol). Food was removed immediately. Sixteen hours after priming, each rat was lightly anesthetized by isoflurane-oxygen inhalation and treated with ~25 ug all-trans-RA bound to albumin [10 ug RA per 100 g bo dy weight], injected into the exposed left common iliac vein. The incision was closed with a surgical staple. The rats were allowed to recover from the anesthesia. Rats were killed at 0 minute (vehicle injection), and 30, 60, and 90 min (n = 3/group) after injection of the RA test dose. Rats were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and blood and liver were collected rapidly and frozen in liquid nitrogen for storage at -80°C before analysis. For experiment 1, five biological repeats were Vitamin A deficient, seven biological repeats were Vitamin A marginal, six biological repeats were Vitamin A adequate, and two biological repeats were Vitamin A supplemented. In experiment 2, three biological repeats were performed for each of the following treatments: untreated, at-RA for 3 hours, at-RA for 6 hours and at-RA for 16 hours. Four biological repeats were treated with at-RA for 10 hours. For experiment 3, two biological repeats were untreated and three biological repeats were performed for each of the following at-RA treatment times: 30, 60 and 90 minutes. A total of 47 samples were analyzed.

Project description:While the phenomenon linking the early nutritional environment to disease susceptibility exists in many mammalian species, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that nutritional programming is a variable quantitative state of gene expression, fixed by the state of energy balance in the neonate, that waxes and wanes in the adult animal in response to changes in energy balance. We tested this hypothesis with an experiment, based upon global gene expression, to identify networks of genes in which expression patterns in inguinal fat of mice have been altered by the nutritional environment during early post-natal development. Gene expression patterns in inguinal fat was assessed at 5, 10, 21 days of age and as adults fed chow (56 days of age) followed by high fat diet for 8 weeks (112 days of age) for C57BL/6J mice reared by lactating dams fed either a control diet (CONT), lactating dams fed a diet in which food intake was restricted to cause under-nourishment (lactation under-nutrition; LUN); and, lactating dams fed a high fat diet in where the number of progeny was limited to four (lactation over-nutrition; LON) . 15 samples with 3 technical replicates of each sample. Each of the 15 samples consisted of pooled total RNA from 12 male mice. Dietary control samples are included for each time period.

Project description:We have previously reported that providing a control diet to obese and diabetic mice during the periconceptional/gestation/lactation period, led to a drastic sex-specific shift from susceptibility to resistance to high fat feeding (HFD) in the female offspring. In the present study, we aimed to characterize exhaustively the metabolic phenotype of F1 and F2 sensitive (S1, S2) and resistant (R1, R2) mice and underscore in the liver, muscle and adipose tissue, the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms supporting the response to HFD, the trait of resistance/susceptibility and the adaptation across generations. We report the transcriptomic analyses realized based on a candidate gene approach in the liver using a custom mouse microchip. A direct comparison strategy with dye-swapping was used to compare two conditions and dye-swaps were replicated several times with at least 4 different animals/group. The comparisons of primary interest: S1 vs N1 (S1/N1); S2 vs N2 (S2/N2); R2 vs N2 (R2/N2); R2 vs S2 (R2/S2) and S2 vs S1 (S2/S1) were made according to a design such that secondary comparisons could be estimated.

Project description:Prenatal iron deficiency (pID) has been described to increase the risk for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia; however, the precise molecular mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we utilized high throughput mass spectrometry to examine the proteomic effects of pID in adulthood on the rat frontal cortex area (FCA). In addition, the FCA proteome was examined in adulthood following risperidone treatment in adolescence to see if these effects could be prevented. We identified 1501 proteins of which 100 were significantly differentially expressed in the FCA at post-natal day 90. Pathway Analysis of proteins affected by pID revealed changes in metabolic processes, including the tricyclic acid cycle, mitochondrial dysfunction, and P13K/Akt signaling. Interestingly, most of these protein changes were not present in the adult pID offspring who received risperidone in adolescence. Behavioral testing of pID rats demonstrated social impairment and poor performance during novelty-induced exploration in pID animals in line with a abnormal neurodevelopmental phenotype. Considering the link between prenatal iron deficiency and several neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia these presented results bring new perspectives to understand the role of iron in metabolic pathways and provide novel biomarkers for future studies of prenatal iron deficiency.
