Identification of Mineralocorticoid receptor targets in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Genome wide analysis of expression data in PBMC of three healthy male probands upon stimulation with vehicle only, aldosterone, cortisol, aldosterone and cortisol in physiological amounts in order to identify putative MR-target genes.
Project description:Aldosterone, the main mineralocorticoid hormone in Humans, has a major role in maintaining the hemo-electrolytique homeostasis, by acting in the distal part of nephron. This steroid hormone mainly acts through its binding to a ligand-induced transcription factor, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). MR binds to specific genomic sequences, where it recruits transcriptional coregulators, to activate or repress target gene transcription. The aim of this work was to access the whole aldosterone-dependand MR target genes, by comparing sequenced data from aldosterone or vehicle-treated samples. Anti-MR ChIP-seq in Human Kidney GFP-hMR cells treated with vehicle or Aldosterone.
Project description:To elucidate the aldosterone-regulated genes in vascular endothelial cells, we developed human endothelial cell line (EAhy926) stably expressing human mineralocorticoid receptor by retroviral system (MR-EAhy). Then gene expression profile of MR-EAhy stimulated with or without aldosterone was compared using DNA microarray analysis. MR-EAhy were serum-deprived for 24h with 0.2% dextran-coated charcoal-treated FBS, and then stimulated with or without aldosterone (10-9 M) for 6 hr. Then cells were harvested for RNA extraction.

Project description:Inappropriate mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation is involved in cardiac diseases. MR binds aldosterone, but also glucocorticoids; the identity of the ligand responsible for the deleterious effects of cardiac MR activation is still unclear. Mice overexpressing MR in cardiomyocytes (MR-Cardio) and their controls (Ctrl) were treated for 7 days with aldosterone or corticosterone and a whole genome microarray analysis was performed.
Project description:Inappropriate excess of the steroid hormone aldosterone, which is a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) agonist, is associated with increased inflammation and risk of cardiovascular disease. MR antagonists are cardioprotective and antiinflammatory in vivo, and evidence suggests that they mediate these effects in part by aldosterone- independent mechanisms. We used affymetrix to characterize the effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor deletion on macrophage transcriptional profile, and identify its requirement in normal glucocorticoid signalling.

We used affymetrix to characterize the effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor deletion on macrophage transcriptional profile, and identify its requirement in normal glucocorticoid signalling. We isolated mouse peritoneal macrophages from Myeloid MRKO mice and Floxed Controls, cultured in the presence or absence of corticosterone. RNA was extracted for Affymetrix cDNA hybridization. Each sample was pooled from experiments performed in triplicate.

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of smokers and non-smokers in PBMC samples. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.1 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across 485,577 CpGs in PBMC samples. Samples included 50 smokers and 61 non-smokers.
