Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of colon inflammation in interleukin-10 gene-deficient mice

ABSTRACT: A total of 30 male IL10-/- (B6.129P2-Il10/J) and 30 male C57 control (C57BL/6J) mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA). All mice were between 28 and 35 days of age at the start of the study. For convenience and consistency in reporting, their age was defined as 35 days or 5 weeks of age. The mice were housed individually in standard shoebox size cages containing untreated wood shavings and maintained in an air-conditioned animal room with a 12-h light-dark cycle. Animals had free access to water and were fed an AIN-76A standard powder diet prepared in-house. This study was approved by the AgResearch Ruakura Animal Ethics Committee in Hamilton, New Zealand according to the Animal Protection Act (1960) and Animal Protection Regulations (1987) and amendments. Four days after arrival, all mice were inoculated orally with a mixture of Enterococcus faecalis strains and bacteria commonly found in the intestinal lumen to obtain a more consistent and reproducible intestinal inflammation. Mice were randomly assigned to five sampling groups (7, 8.5, 10, 12 and 14 weeks of age).

Project description:Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce inflammation via a range of mechanisms. This study tested the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on intestinal inflammation using interleukin-10 gene-deficient (Il10-/-) mice. Methods: At 35 days of age, 12 weaned Il10-/- and 12 C57 mice were randomly assigned to one of two modified AIN-76A diets, supplemented with 3.7% purified ethyl esters of either EPA (n-3) or oleic acid (OA, control). To identify genes relevant to colon inflammation, transcription profiling (microarrays and qRT-PCR) and bioinformatic analyses were used. Results: In this study, dietary EPA reversed the decrease in colon fatty acid Î²-oxidation gene expression observed in OA-fed Il10-/- compared to C57 mice. Il10-/- mice fed the OA diet showed decreased expression of antioxidant enzyme genes, as well as those involved in detoxification of xenobiotics, compared to C57 mice on the same diet. In contrast, dietary EPA increased the expression of these genes in Il10-/- mice. Conclusions: These data indicate that dietary EPA induced endogenous lipid oxidation which might have a potential anti-inflammatory effect on colon tissue. This is supported by the activation of the Ppara gene that regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory genes and proteins. Experiment Overall Design: The diet abbreviations EPA, OA, AA and CO used in the sample records Experiment Overall Design: refer to the following : Experiment Overall Design: CO : AIN-76A (control) Experiment Overall Design: OA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% oleic acid Experiment Overall Design: EPA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% eicosapentaenoic acid Experiment Overall Design: AA : AIN-76A (fat-free) + 1% corn oil + 3.7% arachidonic acid Experiment Overall Design: Corn oil was supplemented with purified linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid to meet the nutritional requirements of mice for these essential fatty acids. Diets fed for 6 weeks.
