Project description:Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease is the most prevalent liver disease and affects a quarter of the global population. Estrogens are associated to safeguard the liver from metabolic diseases. We fed male and female mice a control or high-fat diet for 13 weeks. Only male mice developed fatty livers. We injected a subset of male mice fed a high-fat diet with four different estrogen receptor (ER) agonists for the last three weeks of the high-fat diet, activating the nuclear ERalpha and ERbeta. Livers were collected and flash-frozen before RNA isolation, DNAse treatment, library preparation and sequencing on an Illumina NextSeq 500 instrument.

Project description:Environmental factors during the early-life period are known to have long-term consequences for the adult phenotype. An intimate interplay between genes and environment shape the individual and may affect vulnerability for psychopathology in a sex-dependent manner. A rodent maternal separation model was here used to study the long-term effects of different early-life rearing conditions on adult behavior, HPA axis activity and long-term voluntary alcohol intake in female rats. Litters were subjected to 15 min (MS15) or 360 min (MS360) of daily maternal separation during postnatal day 1-21. In adulthood, the behavioral profiles were investigated using the multivariate concentric square field™ (MCSF) test or examined for HPA axis reactivity by cat-odor exposure with subsequent characterization of voluntary alcohol intake and associated changes in HPA axis activity. Adult female MS360 offspring showed mostly no, or only minor, effects on behavior, HPA axis reactivity and long-term alcohol intake relative to MS15. Instead, more pronounced effects were found dependent on changes in the natural hormonal cycle or by the choice of animal supplier. However, changes were revealed in corticosterone load after long-term alcohol access, as females subjected to MS360 had higher concentrations of fecal corticosterone. The present findings are in line with and expand on previous studies on the long-term effects of maternal separation in female rats with regard to behavior, HPA axis activity and voluntary alcohol intake. It can also be a window into further studies detailing how early-life experiences interact with other risk and protective factors to impact the adult phenotype and how possible sex differences play a role.

Project description:In the present study, the effect of probiotics on the hematology of Wistar rats was examined. Locally isolated Lactobacillus plantarum MZ707748 (Pro 1), L. plantarum MZ710117 (Pro 2), Weisella confusa MZ727611 (Pro 3), and L. plantarum MZ735961 (Pro 4) were used. One strain of probiotic, L. acidophilus-14 (Pro 5), was purchased commercially. Different groups were designed as G1, G2, G3, G4, and 5, G5/PC consisting only pro 5 and NC & 0 day were untreated. Different groups have different probiotics like G1 containing Pro 1 and Pro 2, G2 comprising Pro 3 and Pro 4, G3 containing Pro 2, Pro 3 and Pro 5, G4 having Pro 1-5, and G5 containing Pro 5. A complete count of blood, serum chemistry, fecal analysis, and histopathological examination of the thymus and liver were done. Statistical differences were seen in the complete blood count parameters (p < 0.05). No difference was observed in AST, ALT, bilirubin, albumin, IL-6, and IgA (p > 0.05) except for TP, creatinine, and globulin (p < 0.05). Fecal strains of probiotic groups were antibiotic-resistant. In males, Lactobacillus helveticus OQ152020, Enterococcus lactis OQ1519891, E. faecium OQ152017, L. gasseri OQ152017, and E. lactis OQ152019 were isolated from positive control, G1, G2, G3, and G4 respectively. In females, Enterococcus sp. OP800231, Limosilactobacillus fermentum OQ151985, E. lactis OP800267, L. plantarum OP800244, and E. faecium OQ151988 were isolated from positive control, G1, G2, G3 and G4, respectively. It was concluded that all probiotic strains were safe to use and had beneficial effects on the hematology of Wistar rats.

Project description:Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is the brominated flame retardant with the largest production volume worldwide. NTP 2-year bioassays found TBBPA dose-dependent increases in uterine tumors in female Wistar Han rats; evidence of reproductive tissues carcinogenicity was equivocal in male rats. To explain this apparent sex-dependence, the disposition and toxicokinetic profile of TBBPA were investigated using female Wistar Han rats, as no data were available for female rats. In these studies, the primary route of elimination following [14C]-TBBPA administration (25, 250 or 1,000 mg/kg) was in feces; recoveries in 72 h were 95.7±3.5%, 94.3±3.6% and 98.8±2.2%, respectively (urine: 0.2-2%; tissues: <0.1). TBBPA was conjugated to mono-glucuronide and -sulfate metabolites and eliminated in the bile. Plasma toxicokinetic parameters for a 250 mg/kg dose were estimated based on free TBBPA, as determined by UV/radiometric-HPLC analyses. Oral dosing by gavage (250 mg/kg) resulted in a rapid absorption of compound into the systemic circulation with an observed Cmax at 1.5 h post-dose followed by a prolonged terminal phase. TBBPA concentrations in plasma decreased rapidly after an IV dose (25 mg/kg) followed by a long elimination phase. These results indicate low systemic bioavailability (F<0.05), similar to previous reports using male rats. Elimination pathways appeared to become saturated leading to delayed excretion after a single oral administration of the highest dose (1,000 mg/kg); no such saturation or delay was detected at lower doses. Chronic high exposures to TBBPA may result in competition for metabolism with endogenous substrates in extrahepatic tissues (e.g., SULT1E1 estrogen sulfation) resulting in endocrine disruption.

Project description:BackgroundInformation currently available on the impact of palladium on the immune system mainly derives from studies assessing the biological effects of palladium salts. However, in the last years, there has been a notable increase in occupational and environmental levels of fine and ultrafine palladium particles released from automobile catalytic converters, which may play a role in palladium sensitization. In this context, the evaluation of the possible effects exerted by palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) on the immune system is essential to comprehensively assess palladium immunotoxic potential.AimTherefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Pd-NPs on the immune system of female Wistar rats exposed to this xenobiotic for 14 days, by assessing possible quantitative changes in a number of cytokines: IL-1α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, GM-CSF, INF-γ and TNF-α.MethodsTwenty rats were randomly divided into four exposure groups and one of control. Animals were given a single tail vein injection of vehicle (control group) and different concentrations of Pd-NPs (0.012, 0.12, 1.2 and 12 μg/kg). A multiplex biometric enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to evaluate cytokine serum levels.ResultsThe mean serum concentrations of all cytokines decreased after the administration of 0.012 μg/kg of Pd-NPs, whereas exceeded the control levels at higher exposure doses. The highest concentration of Pd-NPs (12 μg/kg) induced a significant increase of IL-1α, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, GM-CSF and INF-γ compared to controls.Discussion and conclusionsThese results demonstrated that Pd-NP exposure can affect the immune response of rats inducing a stimulatory action that becomes significant at the highest administered dose. Our findings did not show an imbalance between cytokines produced by CD4+ T helper (Th) cells 1 and 2, thus suggesting a generalized stimulation of the immune system with a simultaneous activation and polarization of the naïve T cells towards Th1 and Th2 phenotype.

Project description:Nup133 is known to play a crucial role in neural cell differentiation. But its downstream targets and the exact mechanisms of its action are largely unknown. Hence, we performed targeted chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments followed by next generation sequencing to identify its genomic targets. Mouse OPCs that were isolated separately from male and female littermates were subjected to ChIP using anti-rabbit NUP133 Polyclonal antibody. The prepared ChIP output DNA from 4 individual bio-replicates, along with an input control for each sample was used to prepare Illumina TruSeq nano ChIP sequencing libraries. The Illumina NextSeq 500 platform and a high-output v2 1x75bp cycles kit were used to sequence the Illumina TruSeq ChIP libraries.
