Gene expression data from precision cut lung slices (PCLS) of old and young mice infected with two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to mimic inflamm-aging using ex vivo precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) from young and old mice, and to investigate the influence of aging on inflammation upon infection with the P. aeruginosa standard lab strain PAO1 and a clinical P. aeruginosa isolate, D61. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis revealed that genes associated with processes of immune system were strongly regulated with aging upon P. aeruginosa infection. Very early events of pulmonary inflamm-aging can be mimicked ex vivo in tissue slices of distal lungs and aging promotes pulmonary inflammation upon P. aeruginosa infection

Project description:Purpose: The objective of this study is to use Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) PCLS culture and RNA-seq analysis to map gene expression responses to BaP and EE2 exposure in Atlantic cod. Methods: A total of 8 (3 females and 5 males) juvenile cod (G. morhua) (average body weight 498 g) were used for PCLS (n = 6-8 per group). PCLS preparation and chemical exposure in the culture was performed as previously described (Eide et al., 2014). Cod liver slices were cultured in 24-well plates in the growth medium containing DMSO vehicle (CAS No: 67-68-5), BaP (CAS No: 50-32-8) (10 or 1000 nm), EE2 (CAS No: 57-63-6) (10 or 1000 nm) or BaP and EE2 mixture (10 or 1000 nm each). After 48 hors of culture, the slices were collected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C for RNA extraction. Results: In total, we had 47 high-quality samples, which were aligned to the published CDS of Atlantic cod (ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-90/fasta/gadus_morhua/cds/Gadus_morhua.gad) using HISAT2 v2.1.0 (Kim et al., 2015). Counts were generated from the alignments using SAMtools v1.4.1 (Li et al., 2009). Differential expression analysis was performed using edgeR v3.18.1 (McCarthy et al., 2012) between control group and each treated group using paired test, after removing the genes with all-zero counts across all samples of the two compared groups. Differentially expressed genes were defined by p-value < 0.05 after adjustment using the Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction. Several genes were differentially expressed in the BaP and EE2 and mixture treatment groups compared to the group. Hierarchical clustering showed that signature expression profile of top differentially expressed genes in response to the single treatment was distinctly maintained also in the equimolar binary mixtures. Conclusions: Combining high-throughput RNA-seq analysis and PCLS culture in Atlantic cod, we have shown that BaP and EE2 differentially regulated many genes in the AHR and ER pathways. The results show that omics data can be generated using an efficient PCLS in vitro culture system.

Project description:The transcription factor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) governs bile acid and energy homeostasis, is involved in inflammation, and has protective functions in the liver. In the present study we investigated the effect of Fxr deficiency in mouse precision cut liver slices (PCLS) exposed to a model hepatotoxicant cyclosporin A (CsA). It was anticipated that Fxr deficiency could aggravate toxicity of CsA in PCLS and pinpoint to novel genes/processes regulated by FXR. To test this hypothesis, PCLS obtained from livers of wild type mice (WT-PCLS) and Fxr-knockout mice (FXRKO-PCLS) were treated with 40µM CsA for 24h and 48h. ATP and histological assays were applied to assess the viability of PCLS. DNA microarrays combined with bioinformatics analysis were used to identify genes and processes that were affected by CsA in WT-PCLS and/or FXRKO-PCLS. In addition, WT-PCLS and FXRKO-PCLS were exposed to the endogenous FXR ligand chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and subjected to q-PCR to determine whether subsets of known FXR-targets and the identified genes were regulated upon FXR activation in an FXR-dependent manner. No difference in viability was observed between WT-PCLS and FXRKO-PCLS upon CsA treatment. Transcriptomics data analysis revealed that CsA significantly upregulated stress-response and inflammation and significantly downregulated processes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism in both WT-PCLS and FXRKO-PCLS. However, only in FXRKO-PCLS, CsA upregulated additional pro-inflammatory genes and downregulated genes related to mitochondrial functions. Furthermore, only in WT-PCLS, CDCA upregulated a subset of known FXR-target genes as well as the regulator of inflammation and mitochondrial functions peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor delta (Ppar delta). Although FXR governs energy metabolism, no major differences in response to CsA could be observed between WT-PCLS and FXRKO-PCLS in regulation of processes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. This finding indicates that CsA does not directly affect FXR functions in relation to the above mentioned processes. However, the more pronounced induction of pro-inflammatory genes and the downregulation of genes involved in mitochondrial functions only in FXRKO-PCLS suggest that FXR deficiency aggravates CsA-induced inflammation and impairs mitochondrial functions. Therefore, FXR can exert its hepatoprotective functions by controlling inflammation and mitochondrial functions, possibly involving an FXR-PPAR delta cross-talk. Precision cut liver slices (PCLS) obtained from livers of wild type (WT) and farnesoid X receptor knockout (FXRKO) mice were exposed for 24 hours to 40uM of CyclosporinA (CsA).
