X-ray causes mRNA transcripts change to enhance Orai2-meadated Ca2+ influx in rat brain microvascular endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: We utilized high-throughput sequencing and subsequent signaling pathway analyses to find all the 2 fold change expression of transcripts in comparison of brain microvascular endothelial cells derived from six Sprague Dawley rats without or with irradiation at the dose of 5 Gy or 20 Gy and then cultured for 12 h or 24 h

Project description:Background: Radiation-induced brain injury is a serious and treatment-limiting complication of brain radiation therapy. Although endothelial cell dysfunction plays a critical role in the development of this pathogenesis, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Methods: Primary cultured rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) were divided into five groups without or with exposure of x-rays delivered at 5 Gy or 20 Gy. For the irradiated groups, cells were continued to cultivate for 12 or 24 h after being irradiated. Then the mRNA libraries of each group were established and applied for next-generation sequencing. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were conducted to analyze the sequencing results. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, cck8 assay and intracellular calcium concentration assays were conducted to analyze the role of Orai2-associated SOCE in x-ray induced cellular injury. Results: In total, 3,005 transcripts in all the four x-ray-exposed groups of BMECs showed expression level changes compared with controls. With the dose of x-ray augment and the following cultured time extension, the numbers of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) increased significantly in BMECs. Venn diagrams identified 40 DEGs common to all four exposure groups. Functional pathway enrichment analyses indicated that those 40 DEGs were enriched in the calcium signaling pathway. Among those 40 DEGs, mRNA and protein expression levels of Orai2 were significantly upregulated for 24 h. Similarly, calcium influx via store-operated calcium entry, which is modulated by Orai2, was also significantly increased for 24 h in x-ray-exposed BMECs. Moreover, the change in SOCE was suppressed by btp-2, which is a non-selective inhibitor of Orai. Additionally, x-ray exposure induced a significant decrease of proliferation in BMECs in the dose- and time-dependent manner. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence for molecular mechanisms underlying BMECs dysfunction in development of radiation-induced brain injury and suggest new approaches for therapeutic targets.

Project description:Introduction Iodine-131 (131I) is frequently used in nuclear medicine. Unbound or released 131I accumulate in the thyroid gland and may be detrimental to normal thyroid function. The aim of the present study was to identify biomarkers for 131I exposure in rat thyroid tissue and to assess the effect on thyroid function. Methods Thirty six male Sprague Dawley rats were i.v. injected with 150 Âµl saline solution containing 9.0, 88, 170, 260, 340, 760, 1300, or 4700 kBq (group A-H) 131I, or mock-treated with 150 Âµl saline solution only, and killed at 24 h after injection. Total RNA was extracted from individual thyroid tissue samples thyroids and mRNA levels were determined with the Agilent microarray platform. Results Estimated absorbed doses in treatment groups A-H was 0.0058, 0.057, 0.11, 0.17, 0.22, 0.5 Gy, 0.8 Gy, and 3 Gy. Totally, 429 transcripts were identified with a fold change fold change â¥ 1.5 and adjusted p-value â¤ 0.01. A trend with downregulation of thyroid hormone biosynthesis associated genes (e.g. thyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase, the sodium-iodine symporter) was identified, but only statistically significant after 0.0058 and 0.22 Gy. Three transcripts coding for isoform 1 of the DBP protein showed a pattern with monotonous decrease in downregulation with absorbed dose between 0.0058-0.22 Gy. Changes in Dbp expression were not statistically significant between 0.5-3 Gy. However, a trend with downregulation at 0.5 and 0.8 Gy and upregulation and 3 Gy was identified. Previously, 131I (0.85-17 Gy) and 211At (0.023-32 Gy) exposure resulted in upregulation of Dbp in mice thyroid tissue 24 h after administrations. Additionally, a monotonous decrease in Dbp downregulation has been identified of in mouse kidney tissue at 8 and 12 months after 177Lu-octreotate administrations. Conclusion Conclusively, the Dbp gene is a promising candidate biomarker gene for exposure to 131I and possibly other internal radiation emitters. Further studies should be performed to establish how Dbp expression vary with dose-rate, absorbed dose, time after administration, different radiation qualities, and the function of Dbp. Total RNA was isolated from fresh-frozen individual thyroid tissue samples (Sprague Dawley rats). Each sample was run once. Four rats received the same treatment. Control samples (from non-irradiated rats) are included.
