Project description:Although in-hospital mortality rates for sepsis have decreased, survivors often experience lasting physical and cognitive deficits. Moreover, older adults are more vulnerable to long-term complications associated with sepsis. We employed a murine model to examine the influence of age and sex on the brain’s response and recovery following sepsis. Young (~4 months) and old (~20 months) mice (C57BL/6) of both sexes underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) with restraint stress. The hippocampal transcriptome was examined in age and sex-matched controls at 1 and 4 days post-CLP. In general, immune and stress-related genes increased while neuronal, synaptic, and glial genes decreased one day after CLP-induced sepsis. However, specific age and sex differences were observed for the initial responsiveness to sepsis as well as the rate of recovery examined on day 4. Young females exhibited a muted transcriptional response relative to young males and old females. Old females exhibited a robust shift in gene transcription on day 1 and, while most genes recovered, genes linked to neurogenesis and myelination continued to be downregulated by day 4. In contrast, old males exhibited a more delayed or prolonged response to sepsis, such that neuronal and synaptic genes continued to decrease while immune response genes continued to increase on day 4. These results suggest that aging is associated with delayed recovery from sepsis, which is particularly evident in males.

Project description:Sepsis, defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection, is a common and dangerous clinical syndrome. Sepsis results in an excessive host inflammatory response that can induce immediate and persistent cognitive decline, and this is known to be worse in older individuals. Sex-specific differences in the outcome of infectious diseases and sepsis appear to favor females. These differences likely involve sex steroids, sex chromosomes, and possibly epigenetic mechanisms. We employed a murine model to examine the influence of age and sex on the brain's microRNA (miR) response following sepsis. Young (~ 4 months) and old (~ 20 months) adult mice (C57BL/6) of both sexes underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) with daily restraint stress. Differential expression of hippocampal miR was examined in age- and sex-matched controls at 1 and 4 days post-CLP. A sexually dimorphic miR response was observed. Similar to previous work examining the transcription profile, young females exhibited a better recovery of the miR profile from day1 to day4, relative to young males and old females. For young males and all female groups, the initial response mainly involved a decrease in miR expression. In contrast, old males exhibited only upregulated miR on day1 and day4, with 22 miR upregulated across days. Examination of the relationship of these 22 upregulated miR with mRNA expression indicated downregulation of mRNA with time from induction of sepsis and was more pronounced for mRNA that were associated with multiple upregulated miR. The results emphasize age and sex differences in epigenetic mechanisms that likely contribute sexually dimorphic responses to sepsis.

Project description:Objective To investigate aging-related changes and their sex differences in in vivo and in vitro functions and gene expression in the bladder of mice. Materials and Methods Mature (12-month old) and aged (27–30-month old) mice of both sexes were studied. In in vivo experiments, frequency, volume, and conscious free-moving cystometry measurements were investigated. In in vitro experiments, organ bath studies using detrusor strips were performed to observe functional changes, and serum sex hormone levels and mRNA expression of muscarinic, purinergic, and β-adrenergic receptors in the bladder using a cDNA microarray were evaluated. Results Although few differences were detected in the frequency/volume measurements between the two groups in either sex, aged mice showed a lower mean flow rate and higher number of non-voiding contractions in both sexes and lower maximum pressure and smaller voided volume and bladder capacity was observed in males according to cystometry measurements. Detrusor strips from aged mice showed weaker contractile responses to carbachol and electrical field stimulation, particularly in the cholinergic component, and relaxant responses to isoproterenol, which were accompanied by a decreased mRNA expression of M3 muscarinic receptors in aged males and β2-adrenoceptors in aged females. This aging-related bladder dysfunction was more severe in males, and the serum testosterone level in aged males was significantly decreased. Gene expression changes in the bladder with aging were different between sexes: 469 and 544 genes in males, 392 and 75 in females, and 8 and 37 in both sexes were significantly upregulated and downregulated, respectively, with aging. Conclusions Aged mice of both sexes demonstrated both voiding and storage dysfunctions, which were more pronounced in males. Sex hormone and genomic changes associated with aging may contribute to this functional deterioration in mice.

Project description:Myocardial aging leads to a reduction of beta-adrenergic receptor-induced metabolic and contractile responsiveness. We hypothesize that a change in the patterns of gene expression is important in these age-related events. To test this, hearts were harvested from young and aged male rats (3-4 and 20-22 mo, respectively). Total mRNA was extracted and prepared for hybridization to Affymetrix U34A GeneChips. Filtering criteria, involving fold change and a statistical significance cutoff were employed, yielding 263 probe pairs exhibiting differential signals. Of the 163 annotated genes, at least 56 (34%) were classified as signaling/cell communication. Of these 56, approximately half were directly involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathways. We next determined which of these changes might be involved in anti-adrenergic activity and identified 19 potentially important gene products. Importantly, we observed a decrease in beta1-adrenergic receptor and adenylyl cyclase mRNAs, whereas the mRNA encoding beta-arrestin increased. Furthermore, the results demonstrate an increase in mRNAs encoding the adenosine A1 receptor and phospholipase D, which could increase anti-adrenergic effects. Moreover, the mRNAs encoding the muscarinic M3 receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor beta3, and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-related protein were increased as was the mRNA encoding guanylate kinase-associated protein. Interestingly, we also observed eight mRNAs whose abundance changed three- to sixfold with aging that could be considered as being compensatory. Although these results do not prove causality, they demonstrate that cardiac aging is associated with changes in the profiles of gene expression and that many of these changes may contribute to reduced adrenergic signaling.

Project description:Expression level, control and intercoordination of 66 selected heart rhythm determinant (HRD) genes were compared in atria and ventricles of 4 male and 4 female adult mice. We found that genes encoding various adrenergic receptors, ankyrins, ion channels and transporters, connexins and other components of the intercalated discs form a complex network that is chamber dependent and differs between the two sexes. In addition, most HRD genes in atria had higher expression in males than in females, while in ventricles expression levels were mostly higher in females than in males. Moreover, significant chamber-differences were observed between the sexes, with higher expression in atria than ventricles for males and higher expression in ventricles than atria for females. We have ranked the selected genes according to their prominence in controlling the HRD gene web through expression coordination with the other web genes and protecting the web though their own expression stability. Interestingly, the prominence hierarchy was substantially different between the two sexes. Taken together these findings indicate that the organizational principles of the heart rhythm transcriptome are sex-dependent, with the newly introduced prominence analysis allowing identification of genes that are pivotal for the sexual dichotomy.

Project description:Water is one of the resources most affected by the intensification of human activities. As consequences of these activities, we have eutrophication and global warming, which can also favor the blooms of cyanobacteria that produce cyanotoxins. Here we present the hepatic proteome of females and males of catfish Rhamdia quelen exposed to four experimental conditions, for 96 hours: filtered water at 25°C (F2, F3 and F4 as females; F17, F19 and F20 as males), filtered water at 30°C (F5, F6 and F7 as females; F22, F23 and F24 as males), extract equivalent to 100,000 cells/mL of Raphidiopsis raciborskii dissolved in filtered water at 25°C (F9, F10 and F11 as females; F25, F26 and F28 as males); and extract of 100000 cells/mL of Raphidiopsis raciborskii dissolved in filtered water at 30°C (F13, F14 and F15 as females; F29, F30 and F32 as males).

Project description:Fight-or-flight responses involve β-adrenergic-induced increases in heart rate and contractile force. Despite decades of investigations, predominantly focusing on ryanodine receptor and phospholamban phosphorylation, the molecular mechanisms underlying the sympathetic nervous system control of cardiac contractility remain controversial and incompletely elucidated. Here, we identify the calcium-channel inhibitor Rad as a critical component. In cardiomyocytes isolated from knock-in mice expressing Rad with alanine-substitutions of the four PKA-phosphorylated serine residues (4SA-Rad), calcium currents cannot be increased by adrenergic agonists or phosphatase inhibitor. In these mice, basal cardiac contractility, exercise capacity and heart rate are reduced, and the augmentation of contractile force by adrenergic agonists is severely blunted. Expression of mutant calcium-channel β-subunits that cannot bind Rad is sufficient to restore calcium influx and cardiac contractility in 4SA-Rad mice to levels induced by adrenergic agonists in wild-type mice, revealing a potential therapeutic approach to enhance cardiac contractility while bypassing stimulation of adrenergic receptors.

Project description:Phosphorylation is important in skeletal muscle development, growth, regeneration, and contractile function. Alterations in the skeletal muscle phosphoproteome due to aging have been reported in males; however, studies in females are lacking. We have demonstrated that estrogen deficiency decreases muscle force which correlates with decreased myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation. Thus, we questioned whether the decline of estrogen in females that occurs with aging might alter the skeletal muscle phosphoproteome. C57BL/6J female mice randomly assigned to a sham-operated (Sham) or ovariectomy (Ovx) group to investigate the effects of estrogen deficiency on skeletal muscle protein phosphorylation in a resting, non-contracting condition. After 16 weeks of estrogen deficiency, the tibialis anterior muscle was dissected and prepped for label-free nano-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry phosphoproteomic analysis. We identified 4,780 phosphopeptides in tibialis anterior muscles of ovariectomized (Ovx) and Sham-operated (Sham) control mice. Further analysis revealed 647 differentially regulated phosphopeptides (Benjamini – Hochberg adjusted p-value < 0.05 and 1.5-fold change ratio) that corresponded to 130 proteins with 22 proteins differentially phosphorylated (3 unique to Ovx, two unique to Sham, six upregulated, and 11 downregulated). Differentially phosphorylated proteins associated with the sarcomere, cytoplasm, and metabolic and calcium signaling pathways were identified. Our work provides the first global phosphoproteomic analysis in females and how estrogen deficiency impacts the skeletal muscle phosphoproteome.
