Gene expression data from Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase knockout mouse muscle at 4 weeks

ABSTRACT: Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD)is the initial component of a pentose phosphate pathway inside the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that generates NADPH for ER enzymes. In liver, H6PD is required for the 11-oxoreductase activity of 11ss-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11ss-HSD1), which converts inactive 11-oxo glucocorticoids to their active 11-hydroxyl counterparts; consequently, H6PD null mice are relatively insensitive to glucocorticoids, exhibiting fasting hypoglycemia, increased insulin sensitivity despite elevated circulating levels of corticosterone, and increased basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in muscles normally enriched in Type II (fast) fibers which have increased glycogen content. They also display a progressive vacuolar myopathy evident after 4 weeks of age. We carried out microarray analysis on TA and soleus muscles from 4 week old WT and KO mice to determine an expression profile predicting myopathy.

Project description:Full title: Expression data from human primary subcutaneous preadipocytes treated with glucocorticoids prior to the initiation of differentiation. Preadipocytes are continuously exposed to glucocorticoids in situ due to both steroid present in the circulatory system as well as adipose tissue specific 11Î²HSD1 activity. While the effects of glucocorticoids during differentiation are well studied, the effect of exposure of preadipocytes to glucocorticoids prior to differentiation is unknown. We therefore treated confluent human primary preadipocytes drived from subcutaneous adipose tissue with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone for 48 hours prior to the initiation of differentiation and assessed what effect this had on their subsequent potential to differentiate. We found that pretreatment with glucocorticoids had a priming effect and resulted in increased differentiation of these preadipocytes. Furthermore, this treatment was additive to the effects of glucocorticoids during the initial phase of adipogenesis. Microarray analysis performed subsequent to the pretreatment with glucocorticoids (at the time point at which preadipocytes would have been induced to differentiate) identified glucocorticoid-responsive, candidate genes whose altered expression could mediate these effects. keywords: glucocorticoids, glucocorticoid receptor, preadipocytes, adipogenesis, human primary preadipocytes, subcutaneous, adipose tissue Experiment Overall Design: Human subcutaneous primary preadipocytes were purchased from Zen-Bio Inc. Preadipocytes from 5 female donors (average BMI 22.5Â±0.2kg/m2) were pooled prior to the initial seeding in T75 flasks. Cells were maintained at 5% CO2 in DMEM with 1.0g/L glucose, 20% calf serum, 100U/ml penicillin, 100mg/ml streptomycin and 50U/ml nystatin. Cells were expanded once prior to seeding in Nunc-brand 12-well dishes. Upon reaching confluence (24 h post-splitting), preadipocytes were stimulated with vehicle or 1uM dex for 48 hours in growth media containing 3% calf serum. Microarray analysis was performed on duplicate samples.
