Effect of glutathione reductase (Gsr) deficiency on lung transcriptomics in embryonic mice and neonatal and adult mice exposed to hyperoxia.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Gsr is an antioxidant enzyme responsible for maintaining the supply of reduced glutathiones which reduce reactive oxigen species and maintain cellular redox balance. However, the the role for Gsr in the developemnt of oxidative lung injury is not well characterized. We used microarray analysis to identify Gsr-dependent genes and pathways in embyronic, neonate, and adult lungs. We also determined Gsr-dependent lung transcriptomics in mouse neonates and adults which were neonatally exposed to hyperoxia (O2) or air.

Project description:We performed miRNA array analysis from 2 groups (neonatal lung control, neonatal lung after hyperoxia). We used pools of every 100ng of total RNA of three samples for each groups.
Project description:To investigate the role of GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in neonatal lung and retinal injury induced by hyperoxia We performed RNA-seq of lung and retina of newborn rats exposed to hyperoxia for 2 weeks
Project description:We performed miRNA and mRNA profiling at postnatal day 14 and day 29 to compare hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia and wild type. We built potential miRNA-mRNA interaction networks specific to brochopulmonary dysplasia. Replicated time course of mouse lung development at 2 time points (P14, P29). Three replicates per time point for bronchopulmonary dysplasia induced by hyperoxia mouse lung, and two replicates per time point for wild type mouse lung. This dataset represents the mRNA expression profiling component of the study.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated that deletion of the Cebpa gene in the developing fetal mouse lung caused death soon after birth from the failure of lung maturation. Many of the transcriptional pathways regulating morphogenesis of the fetal lung are induced postnatally and mediate repair of the injured lung. We hypothesized that C/EBPa plays a role in protection of the alveolar epithelium following hyperoxia injury of the mature lung. Transgenic Cebpa∆/∆ mice in which Cebpa was conditionally deleted from Clara cells (from early gestation) and type II cells (from near-term) were developed. Cebpa∆/∆ mice grow normally without any pulmonary abnormalities. Cebpa∆/∆ mice were highly susceptible to hyperoxia. Cebpa∆/∆ mice died within 4d after hyperoxia associated with severe lung inflammation and altered surfactant components at a time when all control mice survived. Microarrays were analyzed on isolated type II cells at an early stage (24h) of hyperoxia exposure to detect the primary genes influenced by deletion of Cebpa. The associated network analysis revealed the reduced expression of key genes related to surfactant lipid and protein homeostasis, such as Srebf, Scap, Lpcat1, Abca3, Sftpb, and Napsa. Genes for the cell signaling, immune response, and protective antioxidants, including GSH and Vnn-1,3, were decreased in the Cebpa∆/∆ mice lung. C/EBPa did not play a critical role in postnatal pulmonary function under normal conditions. In contrast, in the absence of C/EBPa, exposure to hyperoxia caused respiratory failure, supporting the concept that C/EBPa plays an important role in enhancing epithelial cell survival, surfactant lipid homeostasis, and maturation of SP-B from pro-SP-B.
Project description:Our previous data obtained by using immunohistochemistry showed, that Fgf10+/- (50% Fgf10 expression compared to WT) in hyperoxic condition at postnatal day 3 (P3) compared to WT has less vessel count in the lung and less muscularization of small capillaries in the lung. Furthermore, Fgf10+/- showed a drastic increase in mortality upon hyperoxic lung injury. Main question to be answer by this experiment is as followed: Does Fgf10+/- mice after hyperoxia from P0-P3 show different expression profiles at P3 compared to WT? To adress this question we harvest lungs at P3 from WT and Fgf10+/- after hyperoxia treatment from P0-P3. For this the mice were sacrificed by Ketamin/ Dormitor ip, lungs were perfused transcardiac with PBS and directly frozen in liquid nitrogen.
Project description:Extremely preterm infants are often treated with supraphysiological oxygen which contributes to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These same infants exhibit compromised antioxidant capacities due in part to selenium (Se) deficiency. The present study was designed to develop a perinatal Se deficiency mouse model, identify the effects of newborn hyperoxia exposure, and explore alternative pathways affected by Se deficiency (SeD) that would contribute to impaired lung development. Se deficient breeding pairs were generated, once pups were born, they were exposed to room air or 85% O2 for 14 d. Survival, antioxidant and Nrf2-regulated protein expression, and RNA seq analyses were performed. Greater than 40% mortality was observed in Se deficient (SeD), hyperoxia exposed pups. Surviving SeD pups had greater lung growth deficits than Se sufficient (SeS) pups exposed to hyperoxia. Gpx2 and 4 protein and Gpx activity were significantly decreased in SeD pups. Nrf2-regulated proteins, NQO1 and Gclc were increased in the setting of Se deficiency and hyperoxia exposure. RNA seq revealed significant decreases in the Wnt/-catenin and Notch pathways. Se is a biologically relevant modulator of perinatal lung development and antioxidant responses, especially in the context of hyperoxia exposure. RNA seq implicates pathways essential for normal lung development are dysregulated by Se deficiency.
