Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to direct digit number and identity in the vertebrate limb. We have characterized the Gli-dependent cis-regulatory network through a combination of whole genome ChIP-on-chip and transcriptional profiling of the developing mouse limb. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse forelimbs using a variety of gain- and loss-of-function hedgehog pathway mutants, as well as limbs dissected into responsive (posterior 2/3ds) and non-responsive (anterior 1/3d) Hh tissues. These data are used to obtain 753 genes that are differentially expressed in response to Shh signaling.

Project description:Leucyl and cystinyl aminopeptidase (LNPEP/oxytocinase) is a key regulator of oxytocin. Our objectives were to measure serum concentrations of LNPEP and determine the presence of LNPEP and oxytocin (OXT) in equine tissue. LNPEP was measured by ELISA in serum obtained: every other day from ovulation (D0) until D21-22 in nonpregnant and pregnant mares; and at around 320 days of gestation, at 24 hours before foaling, and 20 min and 2 hrs post-foaling. Placenta from the pregnant horn (PH), nonpregnant horn (NPH) and body (B) and from tissues of 6 nonpregnant mares were homogenized and extracts obtained for protein determination and LNPEP ELISA assay. Identification of LNPEP and OXT protein in tissues was also performed via western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Furthermore, in situ hybridization was performed for LNPEP and OXT on endometrium, myometrium, pituitary and corpus luteum (CL). No difference in serum LNPEP concentration was identified between any of the groups. The NPH had the lowest quantities of LNPEP (P<0.05). The highest to lowest LNPEP U/mg protein by tissue were: myometrium> follicle wall> endometrium> kidney>CL> liver. Oxytocin was identified in the equine pituitary, CL and placenta. LNPEP may regulate the availability of luteal OXT locally.

We generated the following pairwise comparisons using PowerExpress: Shh<WT; SmoM2>WT; Gli3<WT; Gli3>WT; Ant<Post; Ant>Post. Genes with an FDRM-bM-^IM-$10% and a fold-change M-bM-^IM-%2 were selected. We did not generate pairwise comparisons for a certain combinations with SmoGli3 and Gli3 mutants because data from these arrays contained significant variability. To identify additional genes that were Shh-responsive, we performed the following multiple sample comparisons using an FDRM-bM-^IM-$10% and a posterior probability cutoff of M-bM-^IM-$25%: 1.) Ant<Post and Shh<WT<SmoM2, 2.) Ant<Post and Shh<WT<SmoM2 and Gli3>SmoGli3, 3.) Ant<Post and Shh<WT<SmoM2 and WT>SmoGli3

Project description:Oxytocin (OXT) is a neuropeptide hormone termed “love hormone” that is produced and released during childbirth and lactation. It is also produced in response to stimulation of the skin (e.g., during hugging and massaging) and music therapy, among others. The effects of OXT on various organs have been revealed in recent years; however, the relationship between hair follicles and OXT remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of OXT on dermal papilla (DP) cells, that control hair growth by secreting growth/regression signals. Gene expression analysis revealed that DP functional markers were significantly upregulated in DP cells treated with OXT. In addition, we tested the hair growth-promoting effects of OXT using in vitro hair follicle organoids. OXT promoted the growth of hair peg-like sprouting by upregulating the expression of hair growth-promoting factors including genes encoding vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). This study highlights the positive effects of OXT in hair follicles and may assist in the development of new treatments for alopecia.

Project description:Introduction: A microdeletion including the SNORD116 gene (SNORD116 MD) has been shown to drive the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) phenotype. PWS is a neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from hypothalamic dysfunction implicating oxytocin (OXT) circuits. It is clinically characterized by early severe obesity, endocrine impairment, intellectual disability and psychiatric symptoms such as a lack of emotional regulation, impulsivity, and intense temper tantrums with outbursts. In addition, this syndrome is associated with a nutritional trajectory characterized by addiction-like behavior around food in adulthood. PWS is related to the genetic loss of expression of a minimal region of chromosome 15 encompassing the SNORD116 gene, encoding for a long noncoding RNA that plays a potential role in epigenetic regulation. Nevertheless, the role of the SNORD116 MD in DNA methylation, as well as the impact of OXT on it, have never been investigated in human neurons. Methods: We studied the methylation marks in dopaminergic neurons issued from induced pluripotent stem neuronsscells (iPSC) carrying a SNORD116 MD in comparison with those from an age-matched adult healthy control. We also performed identical neurons differentiation in the presence of OXT. We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis from iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons by reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing. In addition, we performed RNA sequencing analysis in the iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons differentiated with or without OXT. Results: The analysis revealed that among the differentially methylated genes, we determined a list of gene also differentially expressed. Enrichment analysis of this list encompassed dopaminergic system with COMT and SLC6A3.RT-qPCR attested significant over expression of SLC6A3 in SNORD116 MD neuronss. Moreover, the expression of this gene was significantly decreased in case of OXT adjunction during the differentiation. . Conclusion: SNORD116 MD dopaminergic neurons display differential methylation and expression in genes related to dopaminergic clearance .

Project description:Circadian rhythms are internal biological rhythms driving temporal tissue-specific, metabolic programs. Loss of the circadian transcription factor BMAL1 in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus reveals its importance in metabolic rhythms, but its functions in individual PVN cells are poorly understood. Here, loss of BMAL1 in the PVN results in arrhythmicity of processes controlling energy balance and alters peripheral diurnal gene expression. BMAL1 chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) reveal its temporal regulation of target genes, including oxytocin (OXT), and restoring circulating OXT peaks in BMAL1-PVN knockout (KO) mice rescues absent activity rhythms. While glutamatergic neurons undergo day/night changes in expression of genes involved in cell morphogenesis, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes show gene expression changes in cytoskeletal organization and oxidative phosphorylation. Collectively, our findings show diurnal gene regulation in neuronal and non-neuronal PVN cells and that BMAL1 contributes to diurnal OXT secretion, which is important for systemic diurnal rhythms.

Project description:Uterine NK cells (uNK) play a role in the regulation of placentation but their functions in non-pregnant endometrium are not understood. We have previously reported suppression of endometrial bleeding and alteration of spiral artery morphology in women exposed to asoprisnil, a progesterone receptor modulator (PRM). We now compare global endometrial gene expression in asoprisnil-treated versus control women and demonstrate a statistically significant reduction of genes in the IL-15 pathway, known to play a key role in uNK development and function. Suppression of IL-15 by asoprisnil was also observed at mRNA level (p<0.05), and immunostaining for NK cell marker CD56 revealed a striking reduction of uNK in asoprisnil-treated endometrium (p<0.001). IL-15 levels in normal endometrium are progesterone-responsive. Progesterone receptor (PR) positive stromal cells transcribe both IL-15 and IL-15RA. Thus, the response of stromal cells to progesterone will be to increase IL-15 trans-presentation to uNK, supporting their expansion and differentiation. In asoprisnil-treated endometrium, there is a marked down-regulation of stromal PR expression and virtual absence of uNK. These novel findings indicate that the IL-15 pathway provides a missing link in the complex interplay between endometrial stromal cells, uNK and spiral arteries affecting physiological and pathological endometrial bleeding. 39 Samples

Project description:Thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) hibernate for several months each winter without access to water, but the mechanisms that maintain fluid homeostasis during hibernation are poorly understood. In torpor, when body temperature (TB) reaches 4°C, squirrels decrease metabolism, slow heart rate, and reduce plasma levels of the antidiuretic hormones arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT). Squirrels spontaneously undergo interbout arousal (IBA) every 2 weeks, temporarily recovering an active-like metabolism and a TB of 37°C for up to 48 h. Despite the low levels of AVP and OXT during torpor, profound increases in blood pressure and heart rate during the torpor-IBA transition are not associated with massive fluid loss, suggesting the existence of a mechanism that protects against diuresis at a low TB. Here, we demonstrate that the antidiuretic hormone release pathway is activated by hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) neurons early in the torpor-arousal transition. SON neuron activity, dense-core vesicle release from the posterior pituitary, and plasma hormone levels all begin to increase before TB reaches 10°C. In vivo fiber photometry of SON neurons from hibernating squirrels, together with RNA sequencing and c-FOS immunohistochemistry, confirms that SON is electrically, transcriptionally, and translationally active to monitor blood osmolality throughout the dynamic torpor-arousal transition. Our work emphasizes the importance of the antidiuretic pathway during the torpor-arousal transition and reveals that the neurophysiological mechanism that coordinates the hormonal response to retain fluid is active at an extremely low TB, which is prohibitive for these processes in non-hibernators.
