Project description:Background Bovine Spastic Paresis (BSP) is a neuromuscular disorder which affects both male and female cattle. BSP is characterized by spastic contraction and overextension of the gastrocnemious muscle of one or both limbs and is associated with a scarce increase in body weight. This disease seems to be caused by an autosomal and recessive gene, with incomplete penetration, although no genes clearly involved with its onset have been so far identified. We employed cDNA microarrays to identify metabolic pathways affected by BSP in Romagnola cattle breed. Investigation of those pathways at the genome level can help to understand this disease. Results Microarray analysis of control and affected individuals resulted in 268 differentially expressed genes. These genes were subjected to KEGG pathway functional clustering analysis, revealing that they are predominantly involved in Cell Communication, Signalling Molecules and Interaction and Signal Transduction, Diseases and Nervous System classes. Significantly enriched KEGG pathwayM-bM-^@M-^Ys classes for the differentially expressed genes were calculated; interestingly, all those significantly under-expressed in the affected samples are included in Neurodegenerative Diseases. To identify genome locations possibly harbouring gene(s) involved in the disease, the chromosome distribution of the differentially expressed genes was also investigated. Conclusions The cDNA microarray we used in this study contains a brain library and, even if carrying an incomplete transcriptome representation, it has proven to be a valuable tool allowing us to add useful and new information to a poorly studied disease. By using this tool, we examined nearly 15000 transcripts and analysed gene pathways affected by the disease. Particularly, our data suggest also a defective glycinergic synaptic transmission in the development of the disease and an alteration of calcium signalling proteins. We provide data to acquire knowledge of a genetic disease for which literature still presents poor results and that could be further and specifically analysed in the next future. Moreover this study, performed in livestock, may also harbour molecular information useful for understanding human diseases. Samples of spinal cord from 4 affected and 4 control individuals of the Romagnola breed were collected immediately after slaughtering and later stored in RNA (Sigma-Aldrich). Dye-swaps were performed using pooled cDNA probes from the 4 control animals and the 4 affected animals.

Project description:A focussed microarray chip was constructed specifically for studying basal colonic gene expression in patients with Spondyloarthropathy (SpA) and Crohn's disease (CD) (ref: PMID 16476712). These focus microarrays were used 1) to study common changes in gene expression between SpA and CD, providing early markers in the follow-up study of patients with SpA and particularly these patients that evolve into clinically overt CD; and 2) to identify new candidate genes for CD by integrating gene expression data with genetic information. Keywords: Crohn's Disease, Spondylarthropathy, biopsies

Project description:Commonalities and dissimilarities between the IGF1R and INSR pathways Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), acting respectively via the insulin (INSR) and IGF1 (IGF1R) receptors, play key developmental and metabolic roles throughout life. In addition, both signaling pathways fulfill important roles in cancer initiation and progression. The inherent complexity of the INSR/IGF1R pathways, along with the well documented cross-talk between insulin-like ligands and receptors, translated into a disappointingly slow pace in the development of INSR/IGF1R-directed therapies in oncology. The present study was aimed at identifying mechanistic differences between INSR and IGF1R using a recently developed bioinformatics tool, the Biological Network Simulator (BioNSi). This application allows to import and merge multiple pathways and interaction information from the KEGG database into a single network representation. The BioNsi network simulation tool allowed us to exploit the availability of gene expression data derived from breast cancer cell lines with specific disruptions of the INSR or IGF1R genes in order to investigate potential differences in protein expression that might be linked to biological attributes of the specific receptor networks. Modeling-generated information was corroborated by experimental and biological assays. Our simulation analysis identified a number of commonalities and, most importantly, dissimilarities between the IGF1R and INSR pathways that were experimentally validated and that might help explain the basis for the biological differences between these networks.

Project description:Gene expression is driven by the binding of transcription factors to regulatory elements in the genome, such as enhancers and promoters. A powerful technique to study DNA-protein interactions is affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry. Classic affinity purifications coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry provide information about binding specificity. Binding of transcription factors to regulatory elements in vivo, however, also depends on binding affinity, so the strength of an interaction. To obtain this information, we recently developed a technique called PAQMAN that uses a series of DNA affinity purifications to quantify apparent binding affinities proteome-wide. Here, we expand our PAQMAN workflow to obtain information about binding specificity and affinity in a single experiment. To this end, we combine quantitation at the MS1 level with quantitation at the MS2 level, a strategy that is known as higher order multiplexing. This is, to our knowledge, the first time that higher order multiplexing is applied to affinity purification - mass spectrometry experiments. In the future, we anticipate that this new workflow will be a useful tool to investigate transcription factor biology.
