A time-course study of long term over-expression of ARR19 in mice.

ABSTRACT: A leucine-rich protein, ARR19 (androgen receptor corepressor-19?kDa), is highly expressed in male reproductive organs and moderately in others. Previously, we have reported that ARR19 is differentially expressed in adult Leydig cells during the testis development and inhibits steroidogenesis by reducing the expression of steroidogenic enzymes. Whereas in prostate, ARR19 represses the transcriptional activity of AR (androgen receptor), it is important for male sexual differentiation and maturation in prostate and epididymis, through the recruitment of HDAC4. In this study we show that long term adenovirus mediated overexpression of ARR19 in mice testis has the potential of inhibiting the differentiation of testicular and prostatic cells by reducing the size of testis and prostate but has no effect on the growth of seminal vesicles. Further, it reduces the level of progesterone and testosterone by reducing the steroidogenic enzymes such as 3HSD, P450c17 and StAR. This is the first study reporting a time-course analysis of the implications of long term overexpression of ARR19 in mice testis and its effect on other organs such as prostate and seminal vesicles. Taken together, these results suggest that ARR19 may play an important role in the differentiation of male reproductive organs such as testis and prostate.

Project description:TNF time course series of HelA tet off cells cultured in presence or absence of Dox TNF is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that controls expression of inflammatory genetic networks. Although the Nuclear Factor-kB (NF-kB) pathway is crucial for mediating cellular TNF responses, the complete spectrum of NF-kB dependent genes is unknown. In this study, we used a tetracycline-regulated cell line expressing an NF-kB inhibitor to systematically identify NF-kB dependent genes. A microarray data set generated from a time course of TNF stimulation in the presence or absence of NF-kB signaling was analyzed. Methods: Cell culture, treatment and transfection-The human cervical epithelioid carcinoma cell line HeLa expressing tTA (HeLa Tet-Off) pBI-EGFP- IkBa Mut was constructed earlier (23). HeLa Tet-Off were grown in medium containing 90 % Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM), 10 % heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 4mM L-glutamine, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 mg/ml G418, 100 units /ml penicillin G sodium, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % CO2. For TNF stimulation, freshly isolated cells were split into two cultures, one group maintained in Dox, the other without for 7 d, a time at which IkBa Mut expression was maximal. Thereafter, recombinant human (rh) TNFa (25 ng/ml, final concentration) was added directly to the culture medium for indicated times prior to harvest. Oligonucleotide probe based microarray-Hu95Av2 GeneChip (Affymetrix Inc, Santa Clara, CA) containing 12,626 sequenced human genes were hybridized according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and washed using both non-stringent (1 M NaCl, 25 °C) and stringent (1 M NaCl, 50 °C) conditions prior to staining with phycoerythrin streptavidin (10 mg/ml final). Arrays were scanned using a Gene Array Scanner (Hewlett Packard) and analyzed using the Gene Chip Analysis Suite 5 software (Affymetrix Inc). For each gene, 16-20 probe pairs are immobilized as ~25-mer oligonucleotides that hybridize throughout the mRNA; each probe pair is represented as a perfect match (PM) oligonucleotide and a mismatch (MM) oligonucleotide as hybridization control. The the Absolute Call [e.g., the gene is detected (“present”) or not (“absent”)] and the Signal Intensity (measure of mRNA abundance) is determined. Four independent experiments were performed identically including control (0 h ), 1, 3 and 6 h TNF stimulation (25 ng/ml) in the presence or absence of Doxycyline (2 mg/ml) in growth medium. These are indicated as 180, 181, 220 and 266 series, and are considered replicates of each other. Keywords: time-course
