Project description:Study on changes in gene expression in primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes to electric stimulation. Through comparing non-stimulated, stimulated and blebbistatin supplemented and stimulated cultures we set out to identify the genes that are specifically activated by electric pulsing separate from cardiomyocyte contractions. After initial recovery phase, primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes were cultured for 3 days without pulsing, with electric pulsing or with electric pulsing combined with blebbistatin. Per treatment: 3 arrays, with samples obtained from 3 separate series of cardiomyocyte isolation and culturing. Per array: sample prepared from pooled (1:1) RNA from duplicate experiments.

Project description:The control of cellular processes by direct electronic interface will facilitate the development of biosensors, synthetic biology, and nanobiotechnology by providing the means to pass information from synthetic to living elements of hybrid systems. To investigate the potential of manipulating cellular gene expression by means of electric current, Escherichia coli cultures were screened for electric current inducible genes using global gene expression profiling. Cells in stationary phase were subjected to a DC current density of 2.5 mA/cm2 for 2 min after which the cells were lysed and the total RNA extracted. Of the 4290 expressed genes in E. coli , 432 genes were found to be significantly differentially expressed at an effective alpha value of 5.8 X 10-6. Of these, 333 genes were induced and 99 repressed. Several genes were verified as differentially expressed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The set of differentially expressed genes were examined for the presence of regulatory factors, subsidiary regulon genes, and biological function, particularly redox functions. Transcripts for the regulatory proteins fnr, sspB, soxS, oxyR, creB and yeiL were found to be up-regulated, and crp was down regulated. While soxS and oxyR were up-regulated, the downstream genes controlled by these regulatory proteins were not differentially expressed, suggesting that the oxidative stress level of low-current electric exposure is small. Genes controlled by FNR and CRP, many of which have redox function, were found to be differentially expressed suggesting modulation by direct reduction that can only be partially explained as a response to the reducing environment created by the electrolytic generation of H2 at the cathode. Genes associated with phosphate metabolism and membrane proteins were also differentially expressed. Three biological replicates were exposed to electric current along with three biological replicate controls.

Project description:Hybridization can act as a catalyst for rapid phenotypic evolution by introducing novel allelic combinations, which can affect hybrid phenotype through changes in gene expression. The African weakly electric fish use their muscle-derived electric organ to produce electric organ discharge (EOD) for electrocommunication and electrolocation. The EOD in genus Campylomormyrus and cross-species hybrids is usually species-specific and varies during ontogeny. We compared the gene expression patterns and allele specific expression between juvenile and adult individuals in C. compressirostris (EOD duration 0.4 ms in juvenile and 0.4 ms in adult), C. rhynchophorus (EOD duration 5 ms in juvenile and 40 ms in adult) and their hybrid (EOD duration 0.4 ms in juvenile and 4 ms in adult). Differentially expressed genes between juveniles and adults were highly enriched in “membrane”, “plasma membrane” and “cytoplasm” Go Ontogeny terms. We detected several potassium channel-related genes (e.g. KCNJ2, ADCYAP1) that are potentially involved in the EOD development during ontogeny. The alleles from C. compressirostris show dominant expression in the hybrid at juvenile and adult life stages. KCNJ2 is the only gene that exhibits allelic dominance of C. rhynchophorus allele, and has an increasing expression during ontogeny in this allele. This suggests that the EOD development in hybrids could be related to the increasing allelic expression of the C. rhynchophorus allele under the scenario of overall dominance of C. compressirostris alleles. Our study sheds light in the evolution of the electric organ discharge in electric fishes and on the role of introgressive hybridization in complex phenotypic traits.

Project description:Although evidence has shown that very small electric currents produce a beneficial therapeutic result for wounds, non-invasive EMF therapy has consisted mostly of anecdotal clinical reports with very few well controlled laboratory mechanistic studies. In this study, we evaluated the effects and potential mechanisms of a non-invasive EMF device on skin wound repair. In vitro analyses with human skin keratinocyte cultures demonstrated that the non-invasive EMF has a very strong effect on accelerating keratinocyte migration and a relatively weaker effect on promoting keratinocyte proliferation. The positive effects of the non-invasive EMF on cell migration and proliferation seem keratinocyte specific without such effects seen on dermal fibroblasts. cDNA microarray and RT-PCR performed revealed increased expression of CRK7 and HOXC8 genes in treated keratinocytes. This study suggests that a non-invasive electric magnetic field accelerates wound reepithelialization through a mechanism of promoting keratinocyte migration and proliferation, possibly due to upregulation of CRK7 and HOXC8 genes.

Project description:Electric fishes have independently evolved six times. Most of these fish are weakly electric and they use their discharge mainly for orientation and communication. In the African weakly electric fish genus Campylomormyrus, electric organ discharge (EOD) signals are strikingly different in shape and duration among closely related species, they contribute to pre-zygotic isolation and may have triggered an adaptive radiation. We performed mRNA sequencing on electric organs (EOs) and skeletal muscle (SMs; from which the EOs derive) from three species with short (0.4 ms), medium (5 ms), and long (40 ms) EODs and two different cross-species hybrids. Using pairwise comparison of differential gene expression between EOs and SMs, we identified 1,444 up regulated genes in EO shared by all five species/hybrids cohorts, rendering them candidate genes for EO-specific properties in Campylomormyrus. To understand how gene expression contributes to the variation in EOD duration, we made cross species comparisons among species and tissue. We identified three types of EOD-duration-related expression patterns and several candidate genes, including KCNJ2, KLF5 and SLC24a2, their upregulation may contribute to increased EOD duration, along with a down-regulated gene KCNK6. Hybrids between a short (C. compressirostris) and a long (C. rhynchophorus) discharging species exhibit EODs of intermediate duration and showed imbalanced expression of KCNJ2 alleles. The preferential expression of the C. rhynchophorus allele is in line with a higher expression level in that parental species and points towards a cis-regulatory difference at this locus, relative to EOD duration. A further candidate gene, KLF5, is a transcription factor potentially balancing potassium channel gene expression, a crucial process for the formation of an EOD. Unraveling the genetic basis of the species-specific modulation of the EOD in Campylomormyrus is crucial for understanding the adaptive radiation of this emerging model taxon of ecological (perhaps even sympatric) speciation.

Project description:Catheter ablation is an effective treatment to prevent recurrence of Atrial fibrillation (AF) and can be used to maintain sinus rhythm and improve symptoms of AF, but to some extent it can cause a range of adverse effects associated with catheter ablation. Pulsed electric field is a newer treatment modality to replace catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation due to its fewer side effects. Different from radiofrequency ablation, which destroys diseased myocardial tissue by thermal energy, pulsed electric field ablation achieves the purpose of atrial fibrillation ablation by inducing damage to diseased myocardial cells through irreversible electroporation. However, some experimental parameters and mechanism of pulsed electric fields remain unclear.
